This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion. Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article? |
Madagascar is a game based on the original Madagascar movie. In case that wasn't clear already.
Unused Music
A slightly compressed version of Frank Sinatra's "Summer Wind" can be found in the game files.
Development Messages
To do: Pick out some other amusing stuff |
Many of the scripts in this game have developer comments with them to specify what code has what function. While there's way too much to document here, here are some of the interesting bits.
Comment(s) | Level | Notes |
---|---|---|
ED DG - If I have a mango in my hand, I better damn well get rid of it! | Any level where you can throw Mangoes | This message is above the code where Alex throws the mangoes (and thus gets rid of them). "DG" likely refers to designer Daniel Gerstein, and "ED" remains unidentified. |
GF - We need to turn these suckers on before we can calculate their widths | None (general files) | "Suckers" seems to be referring to button prompts. It's currently unknown who "GF" is. |
HERE IS THE PROBLEM! | None (general files) | Found within code for "Generic Slider Menu Sprites". |
I AM TOBY'S UNCOMMENTED MASS OF DEFINITIONS | None (general files) | Likely referring to Toby Schadt, the lead designer. |
DG - You can't trust anyone nowadays Someone stole dishwashing detergent from my car |
Marty's Escape | Those darn kids. |
okay, enough of this crap - ATTACK! | Save the Lemurs! | Referring to the Foosas. This was snuck in after correcting errors in the "hurt" values. |
Player beat first segment - this is a sucky way to do it but oh well. | Final Battle | The way the cutscene was animated didn't seem to satisfy the animator. |
THE BPM CHANGES HERE... AW SHIT | Lemur Rave | This message is above the code which increases the song's BPM and when the button commands come in faster. |
HOLY SHIT - JUICY SWEET JUICY SWEET JUICY SWEET | Lemur Rave | "Juicy Sweet" is a point bonus you can receive during the level if 100% "Perfect" is achieved. |
(FRED STOPPED MY MUSICAL TRAIN OF THOUGHT) | Lemur Rave | Possibly referring to Fred Ford, the technical director. |
Cutscene Identifiers
For the games cutscenes, each separate camera shot is given an identifier to specify what it is. While most are simple descriptions, some of them are quite amusing.
Melman - we're fucked
This is for Melman's last line of dialogue for the ending cutscene in N.Y. Street Chase . He actually says "Guys, hey, uh, I hope those needles have been sterilized."
longer shot of marty looking at his ass
This is used in the ending after Marty lands on the Foosa boss...just before he talks to the latter's rear end. It should be noted that there are two versions of the animation for this cutscene, both with this same identifier.
melman my immune system blah blah I'm a wuss
Used for the ending when Melman says "My immune system is started to get used to the indigenous bacteria in all of your fur!"
skipper antarctica SUCKS
This is used for the games ending when Skipper says "Antarctica; nothing but a bunch of ice!" It definitely gets the point across.
