Soundtrack Differences

This is a sub-page of Proto:Spyro the Dragon (PlayStation)/June 15th, 1998 build.

Pretty much every level in this game uses a different track to the one used in the final game. This page lists the differences in the soundtrack files and the differences in the tracks used by each level.

All levels presented here use their final name, and all tracks listed are named by the level they're used in in the final game, to avoid confusion.

STR Files#

Notably, also, the Peace Keepers theme's intro is significantly shorter on the first loop than it is in the final game. All prototype tracks are quieter and more dynamic than the retail tracks.

PETEXA3.STR is notably identical to PETEXA0.STR.

In-Game Tracks#

The tracks used by levels in-game perfectly match the order they appear in the STR files:

*Note that Gnorc Gnexus uses Toasty's theme in the final game.

Notably, due to there being only 32 themes present despite this build's 33 levels, no theme plays in Gnasty Place.

Due to an audio glitch, all themes played in the Beast Makers worlds loop every 2 minutes and 4 seconds, the same length as Stone Hill's theme.
