Prototype Info Bugs

Level Select#

At the title screen, press Up + Left + B on Controller 2 to increase the starting level number up to 8. Press Start to start from the selected level.

Unused Graphics#

To do: This section needs to be entirely rewritten, as many of these "prototype" sprites are actually the final sprites, and vice versa. It would also seem that Odie uses different sets of sprites during different points in the game.

Present among the title screen graphics are several earlier sprites of the enemies and characters.

Early	Final

Garfield's sprites went through minor changes, mostly shifts of pixels.

Early	Final

The spider enemy had its legs pointing in different directions and lacked the web.

Early	Final

Odie was mostly grey and had narrower eyes.

Early	Final

The knife-throwing Ali Cat lookalike was completely redrawn.

Early	Final

The bird enemy didn't have its wing out as far.
