Prerelease:Animaniacs (Genesis)
This page details pre-release information and/or media for Animaniacs (Genesis).
An early release was given to various magazines. Thanks to a screenshot revealing a build date, we can see that the earliest known build is from April 1st 1994.

The stage select screen went through several changes. Namely, the three larger sprites that were also used in the intro are removed, replaced with mini sprites of the chaotic trio running around the field being chased by Ralph. The background originally featured their health sprites in with a blue overlay, but were removed in favor of a full screen showing the available doors. Some touch ups were down to the overall map, such as the cobblestone appearance of the roads becoming much simpler. Finally, a build date was removed, as was what appears to be a level select.

The entire background for the intro level was redrawn. Wakko's full health counter is different to the one in the final. The alarm clock is missing and the Star count includes an X which was removed in the final.
Something else of interest in this screenshot are what appear to be coordinates just underneath the health counter.
The lights are missing. More possible coordinates in the corner, plus Dot has a different icon to her final one.
Same as above, showing another early Wakko icon.
A small glimpse of another Wakko icon.
A slightly later screenshot with the coordinates and X next to the Stars removed and the clock added. Yakko has an early full health icon.
Another later screenshot with another different Wakko icon (his final icon, whilst similar, shows him being more slumped over). Also, you obtain this item from the right side of the screen, since the left is where you face Ralph.
In the final, Ralph attacks from the right. The cave and rocks are different to the ones in the final.
