So very stubbly.
This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion.
Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?

Early Hub World

The following screenshots suggest the game used to have a hub world in an earlier state, rather than a static level selection screen. According to a moderator on IGN, each world had four "doors" for the main minigames and a fifth one was somewhere hidden. This fifth minigame was either supposed to be the "endless" minigame (the 6th and last level in the final game) or the Trivia minigame (the 3rd level in the final game). However, this is never officially confirmed by AWE Games. The screenshots are official though.

There's no screenshot of an early Mermalair world available. This might mean that a fifth world wasn't present in this state of the game, but this is unknown.

Early Title Screen

An early version of the title menu can be seen in the game's manual, with a cruder Chum Bucket sign. This graphic still remains in the final game, albeit unused.
