A nearly identical port of the N64 version.

This needs some investigation.
Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page.
Specifically:

  • Check for any unused graphics.
  • Document differences between this and the N64 version. E.g. streamed music instead of sequenced, you can't bind the L-cancel move to a controller button?

Unused Levels#

The level files for Glover are stored in Data/Levels with the extension .lev. An unused level can be found among all of these.

Scrapped Space Level#

Between the level files for the Space world, an extra level with the filename OOTW_LEVEL1.lev is present in the game file. It's internal name is LEVEL1.
Despite the filename, this file isn't used by the game for the first level of the Space world, as that is assigned to ootw_level2a.lev. Due to the lack of assets for this level in the final release, attempting to force-load the level will result in a crash.

Level Name Oddities#

A number of the level files found in Data/Levels are suffixed with an alphabetic character while others aren't among other oddities, such as each level file having a trimmed copy (max 7 characters) of the original name in the file data.
