Mobile Suit Z-Gundam: Hot Scramble

This page details one or more prototype versions of Mobile Suit Z-Gundam: Hot Scramble.

This needs some investigation. Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page. Specifically: Since this version got a limited production by Bandai, is it suitable to write a Proto page, or should it be moved to a subpage in mainspace? Chack out the interview with the game's designer, with informations about Final Version.

The Final Version of Mobile Suit Z-Gundam: Hot Scramble was released through a contest by Bandai, in which 1,000 carts of this version were given as prizes.

Despite being officially named "Final Version", there are several things that suggest it was based on a pre-final build of the standard game.

General Differences#

• This version runs on NROM with 32 KiB PRG and 8 KiB CHR, while the retail version runs on GNROM with 128KiB PRG and 32 KiB CHR.
• The introductory cutscenes are simpler than the retail version. The texts are also printed in darker color.
• The side-scrolling platforming sections (which were included as a last-minute thought) are nowhere to be found in this version.
• This version has a more complex HUD which has an enemy indicator that shows you their position. It's not found in the retail release.
