Early Icons#

Salmon Run Icons#

An early version of the Salmon Icon shown in the menu where you select what mode you want to go to! It's colored to look more like a salmon, unlike the final where it's all one specific color.

The Egg also has an early icon! It has less detail than the final.

Tutorial Icons#

Let's start off with an early Joy-Con Grip icon! The Joy-Cons are black, which is exclusive to development kits.

The early Switch icon looked more like a square than the proper shape.

Main Menu Icons#

A few of the main menu icons differ from the final.

An early version of the map shown on the main menu.

Early Stage Previews#

All the main new stages got their icons changed from this version to release.

The Reef#

Early icon shows the layout from reveal footage, alongside having a different skybox and lighting setting, which bears a striking resemblance to how it was seen during the October 2016 Switch reveal trailer.

Mussleforge Fitness#

Different lighting between the early and final icons, with the layout seemingly staying the same.

Starfish Mainstage#
