Wubbzy's Amazing Adventure

Wubbzy's Amazing Adventure is a 2D platformer based on Wow Wow Wubbzy‍ '​s pilot episode.

TEST_MODE#

TEST_MODE = false;

Present in frame 17, there is a boolean called "TEST_MODE" in the script that doesn't seem to do anything when set to true.

Unused/Offscreen Graphics#

A couple of graphics can be seen when you load the SWF into a browser and stretch the resolution. The red square manages the levels and the green circle controls the cutscenes. Interestingly, the green circle is also a button which, once clicked, can be used to skip the level entirely.

TestMode#

Frame 30 contains a cutscene selection. The aforementioned TEST_MODE code may have been used to access this menu at one point.

Test Assets#

A bunch of test assets that don't get used in the two test levels. However, these can be coded back in to get a full test level.

Test Levels#

The SWF that contains all of the level assets also contains a hidden level select screen with two playable test levels.

Translation

*ChickJump with
pause = very low value


*ChickLeftRight with 
maxMC = ""
and speed = tscroll

Text in French for a test level not accessible from the level select is present.

Unused Sounds#

An unused voice clip of Kooky Kid saying "That's eggy!" though in-game he says "That's kooky!" instead.

A ding sound with an unknown purpose. Though, this is leftover in the sprite for the Bolt, so it could've been the original planned collect noise.

Version Differences#

Version 1

Version 2

The Robo-Cluck 3000 was made to be running away and the Wow Wow Wubbzy icon in the top left corner removed the Nick Jr. and "Created by BOB BOYLE" subtitle.
