Cut Activities#

Harold#

A cut minigame where you pick up and load different cargo crates as Harold the Helicopter. This minigame seems to have been cut relatively late into production, as it features the final game's narrator. It's unknown what place in the story this would have had, as there is no real scene in the movie or final game where Harold delivers any crates (In fact, he doesn't even appear at all in either).

Harold 1 of 4.brstm		"Harold is a happy helicopter, one of Harold's jobs is to pick up heavy crates."
Harold 2 of 4.brstm		"To move Harold left and right on the screen, hold the Wii remote upright, and turn it around as though drawing circles on the ceiling. Change direction by turning the Wii remote the other way."
Harold 3 of 4.brstm		"Once Harold is over a crate, you'll see the green light on screen. Press the A button on the Wii remote to lower the hook and pick up the crate."
Harold 4 of 4.brstm		"Once you have a crate, move Harold over an empty truck. When the green light shows on screen, press the A button on the Wii remote to lower the crate into place."

Cranky the Crane#

A cut minigame where you pick up different cargo crates as Cranky the Crane. Interestingly, it shares very similar gameplay mechanics and structure as the cut Harold minigame. Cranky does appear in the movie and final game, however only as a non-speaking cameo role in the background.

Cranky 1 of 4.brstm		"Cranky is a powerful crane, he loads the trucks with heavy crates."
Cranky 2 of 4.brstm		"To move Cranky left and right on the screen, hold the Wii remote upright, and turn it around as though drawing circles on the ceiling. Change direction by turning the Wii remote the other way."
Cranky 3 of 4.brstm		"Once Cranky is over a crate, you'll see the green light. Press the A button on the Wii remote to lower the hook and pick up the crate."
Cranky 4 of 4.brstm		"Once you have a crate, move Cranky over an empty truck. When the green light shows on screen, press the A button on the Wii remote to lower the crate into place."
