This is a sub-page of Proto:Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX 2 (PlayStation 2, Xbox, GameCube).

This prototype is documented on Hidden Palace.

The earliest build out there for Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX 2, so small that it was on a CD-R instead of a DVD-R, with loads of differences.

General Differences#

  • Only Mat Hoffman is playable, while the other characters can be selected, they cannot be played as, due to them being heavily incomplete and they won't get on their bikes.
  • The February prototype allows custom save names for the Road Trip mode, something that was later cut in the final game.

Save Icon#

The save icon for the February prototype is a model of a motor biker from ATV Offroad Fury, while in the final it's a tour bus.
