Planet Parameters

This is a sub-page of Proto:Meteos (Nintendo DS)/Kiosk Demo.

Common Differences#

In General#

• This kiosk demo uses a slightly earlier version of Meteos' parameter file, labeled as version 0.83 rather than the final's 0.84. The only difference seems to be that several parameters are completely missing; these are the "bottom bonus" Jet parameter, which is a power multiplier for ignitions done on the bottom of a stack, and the "push down meteo", "push down attack", "to attack" and "from defense" Field parameters; the former two determine how much regular Meteos and the opponent's garbage Meteos, respectively, weight down a stack, and the latter two, the attack and defense multipliers of each planet.
• The absolute frequency of falling Meteos is slightly lower with the speeder enabled.

Main 32#

• All Rare Metal rates (parameters rate sol and rate tim) have been blanked out in the prototype.
• It takes longer for the game to reach the "Max" values for the game level and limit parameters.

Available Planets#

Geolyte#

This iteration of planet Geolyte, while having a couple differences in its physics, plays mostly the same as its final Japanese counterpart.

• Stacks launch a little lower.
• As with most planets, the burnt Meteo timer is at a fixed rate, and the attack Meteo timer increases as a match goes on.
• Falling Meteos have a slightly slower speed, but fill the screen faster as a match progresses.
• Zoo Meteos experience a slightly higher fall rate, while Glow Meteos don't appear at all.

Firim#

• Meteos fill the screen slightly slower as a match progresses.
• The lose timer interval is more forgiving.
• As with most planets, the burnt Meteo timer is at a fixed rate, and the attack Meteo timer increases as a match goes on.
• Fire Meteos experience a slightly higher fall rate, while Dark Meteos don't appear at all.

Jeljel#

Jeljel plays practically exactly as it does in the final Japanese release, the only differences being in the falling intervals and in the lose/burnt/garbage timers.

Oleana#

• Meteos have a faster spawning interval during the start of a match.
• As with most planets, the burnt Meteo timer is at a fixed rate, and the attack Meteo timer increases as a match goes on.
• Stacks fall slightly slower.
• Regular launches have slightly less speed, but have more thrust. Stacks also have more thrust.
• First secondary ignitions are slightly less powerful.
• Falling stacks hold on for longer.
• Contains Zoo Meteos in its spawn rates rather than Herb. The H2O rates are also noticeably higher, while Glow Meteos don't spawn at all.

Freaze#

Though Freaze plays practically the same as its final Japanese counterpart, it has some slight differences:

• Meteos fill the screen slightly slower as a match progresses.
• As with most planets, the burnt Meteo timer is at a fixed rate, and the attack Meteo timer increases as a match goes on.
• Stacks fall slightly faster with the speeder active.

Anasaze#

• Ignitions, especially vertical ones, don't go as high.
• Stacks also fall slightly slower.
• Soil Meteos experience a higher spawn rate, while Dark Meteos don't appear at all.

The planet's .csv file, which is not parsed but serves as a reference for the .mtp parameters, also contains an additional Meteo Behavior Parameter section, below the Field Parameters. It seems to be rather generic.

Mekks#

Mekks is one of the planets which has the most noticeable changes:

• Stacks don't fall at a consistent speed, falling slowly with the speeder off, and much faster with the speeder on. They can also hold on for a while before falling should they be light enough.
• Most ignitions done inside a stack when it is falling will have no power.
• Zap Meteos have a slightly higher spawn rate.

Layazero#

Though Layazero's burnt and garbage timers are a constant value, they are very short in the prototype; the former using lower values than any the final Japanese version uses.

Boggob#

Boggob's burnt timer is noticeably longer in the demo. Aside from other differences in the timers, it plays exactly the same as the final Japanese version.

Dawndus#

• As with most planets in the demo, the Burnt and Attack timers are constant. In Dawndus, these timers are set to a comparatively high value, allowing for more thinking time even in late-game.
• Stacks fall a little slower.
• Ignitions are just slightly more powerful.

Gigagush#

Stacks fall much faster with the speeder active. Burnt Meteos also have less weight.

Hevendor#

• Ignitions are slightly less powerful. This can cause them to not leave the screen as intended.
• The spawn rates for all eight main Meteo types are equal in the demo. Conversely, the rates for Glow and Dark are lower.

Florias#

• Stacks fall very slightly slower.
• Ignitions are slightly more powerful.
• Florias experienced nearly completely different spawn rates for each Meteo type it has, as well as an additional, albeit very small rate for Zap.

Unavailable Planets#

Bavoom#

• Ignitions have barely any launch power, though this is somewhat compensated by a high combo multiplier.
• While the levitation gimmick had already been implemented, it's in a perhaps greatly exaggerated state in which stacks not only fall very slowly without the speeder, but also practically stop when enabling it.
• Air Meteos experience a higher spawn rate.

Forte#

• Burnt Meteos, and to an extent Garbage Meteos, take a noticeably shorter amount of time to regenerate.
• Horizontal ignitions are slightly weaker.
• The Meteo spawn rates received slight rebalancing. In the demo, Soil Meteos have comparatively lower spawn rates, while Air has higher ones.

Cavious#

• Stacks fall slightly slower.
• Ignitions have slightly less thrust.
• The combo power multiplier is slightly lower.
• Glow Meteos don't appear.

Grannest#

• Meteos have a shorter falling interval during the start of a match.
• Stacks fall slower.
• Horizontal ignitions are weaker.
• Garbage Meteos are lighter in ascension and falling.
• Burnt Meteos are heavier when falling.
• Iron Meteos experience a higher spawn rate, while Soil Meteos don't appear at all.

Suburbion#

• Stacks fall slower.
• Secondary ignitions go slightly lower, but the consecutive launch multiplier is larger.
• Fire, H2O and Zoo Meteos are completely absent from the spawn rates.

Gravitas#

• The Lose and Burnt cooldown timers are noticeably longer.
• Standalone Meteos are, overall, much lighter, and fall slightly slower.
• The Meteo spawn rates were rebalanced. The old rates have Iron and Zap Meteos experiencing lower rates, despite having the same value when compared to the final Japanese game (10).

Wuud#

Wuud plays exactly the same as the final Japanese release, the only differences being in the falling intervals and in the lose/burnt/garbage timers.

Megadom#

• Stacks are significantly heavier, and also have a much lower maximum rising speed. This can cause consecutive ignitions to not launch at all, despite that the "decreasing power" gimmick had not been implemented yet.
• Standalone Meteos launch faster.
• Fire Meteos spawn instead of Herb.
• The spawn rates for H2O Meteos are slightly higher. Conversely, Air Meteos have lower rates.

Thirnova#

• The Burnt Meteo cooldown timer is noticeably shorter.
• Individual Meteos have a lower weight when rising.
• H2O Meteos experience a slightly higher fall rate.

Brabbit#

• The Burnt Meteo cooldown timer is a bit longer.
• Stacks fall much slower, though this is barely noticeable due to the stacks' lack of thrust. They also rise slightly faster.
• Stacks can stay airborne for a longer time.

Yooj#

• The Burnt cooldown timer is noticeably shorter.
• Stacks fall slightly faster.
• Ignitions are less powerful, but are more thrusty.
• Air Meteos experience lower spawn rates.

Hotted#

• The Burnt cooldown timer is noticeably shorter.
• Stacks fall much slower, and are also overall lighter.
• Initial secondary ignitions are more powerful, but each consecutive ignition loses power at a faster rate.
• Air, Soil, Iron and Zap Meteos have a comparative increase in its spawn rates. Dark Meteos spawn less frequently as well.

Vubble#

• Stacks fall slightly slower with the speeder active.
• Stacks are noticeably heavier.
• Glow Meteos have a lower spawn rate.

Wiral#

• The Burnt cooldown timer is noticeably shorter.
• There are additional spawn rates for Fire and Soil Meteos. The value for Dark Meteos is also slightly smaller.

Globin#

• While Globin is known for its unforgiving Lose and Burnt cooldown timers, these values are much more exaggerated in the prototype.
• Zoo and Dark Meteos have a higher spawn rate. Conversely, the Fire Meteo spawn rate is very low. There is also a very low rate for Zap Meteos, which don't spawn at all in the final game.

Starrii#

• The Burnt cooldown timer is noticeably lower. Garbage Meteos also return to normal instantly upon landing.
• Zoo Meteos have a much higher spawn rate.

Lastar#

Lastar plays exactly the same as the final Japanese release, the only differences being in the falling intervals and in the lose/burnt/garbage timers.

===Luna=Luna===

• Individual Meteos are heavier when launched.
• Dark Meteos have slightly lower spawn rates.

Planet Meteo#

• Planet Meteo's lose timer is unforgivingly shorter, even during the start of a match. The Burnt cooldown and Garbage cooldown timers are shorter as well.
• Individual Meteos' rising speed is slower.
• Ignitions are slightly less powerful.
• Rare Metals would be much more prone to spawning, though this never happens as the rates for both Soul and Time are blanked out.

Special#

Early Meteo?#

Watch on YouTubeCuriously, the parameter files meant for the Star Trip variations of Planet Meteo, as well as the Credits planet, 100/1000 Meteo Time Attack planets, and the How to Play Geolyte, contain a completely different parameter set.
Initial ignitions are oftentimes weak, and the first secondary ignition doesn't launch at all. However, the power increases as more are done, making the main strategy being that of having lots of spare Meteos to ensure stacks launch and exit the screen.
Unlike the regular 32 planets, Soul and Time can spawn in this planet. However, they act as regular Meteos and use the tilesets' otherwise unused textures for them.

2-Minute Time Attack Geolyte#

• Meteos fill the screen much slower.
• There's a Garbage cooldown timer despite that it should not be possible for Garbage Meteos to appear in this variation.
• Stacks launch much faster with the speeder active. They are also slightly slower when falling.
• Secondary launches are, overall, weaker, but this is compensated by a high combo multiplier.
• Herb Meteos spawn instead of Air. There are also no rates for Glow Meteos.

5-Minute Time Attack Layazero#

• Meteos fill the screen much slower.
• There's a Garbage cooldown timer despite that it should not be possible for Garbage Meteos to appear in this variation.
• Individual Meteos have a lower rising speed, but fall faster.
• Stacks descend slower.
• Ignitions are somewhat weaker.
• Iron and Herb Meteos spawn instead of H2O and Zoo. Dark Meteos also don't appear.

100/1000 Meteo Time Attack Planets#

While it was already said that the 100/1000 Meteo Time Attack Planets use the same parameters as the possibly unused planet in Star Trip Meteo's slot, the .csv files contain an interesting detail: it seems the planets used for these modes were going to be Megadom and Bavoom, respectively, instead of Firim and Hevendor.
