Moontra Kid Buggy

Moontra Kid Buggy is one of four games in the Moontra Kid compilation CD, which was created as part of an anti-drug campaign in Thailand. It is a racing game, in which the titular protagonist races against five other antropomorphic animals while avoiding getting high on various types of drugs.

Unused Graphics#

Early Item Icons#

Game\Buggy\Data\Item contains the graphics for the game's items, as well as the drugs scattered around the track. With this in mind, BG_CURE.tga and BG_SPEED.tga are earlier, more generic variations for the icons of the Milk and Nitro items. They might be leftovers from a different game, but this cannot be verified.

Backgrounds#

While Moontra Kid Buggy does not use backgrounds in the menu screens, images for them can be found, including unique images for the title screen and the Help/Hall of Fame/Options screens. It's also worth noting that the Name Entry screen was going to use the same background as the loading screen.
