Notes
The Cutting Room Floor research
- An early build dated four months prior to the final build.
- The copyright year (which is 1994 in the final game) is missing from the copyright screen.
- This is also the case for the title screen. Additionally, the copyright placement on the title screen is slightly different.
- The game has no music or sound effects.
- Mickey's sprite is unfinished and appears to be missing a large number of pixels.
- The character seemingly cannot be changed on the character select screen.
- The opening animatic is not present.
- Mickey lands in a slightly different position on the tower in Beanswick as he does in the final. Addiitonally, the character nearby is absent.
- A large number of sprites and rooms are extremely unfinished and different.
- Text boxes are often a different shade to their final appearance.
- Some scenes are replaced with blank screens with the name of the scene on them.
- Challenges often differ from their usual goal.
- Some challenges and rooms appear to not be present at all.
- Game does not appear to be beatable.
- It's possible to walk on the water.
