Prerelease:The Misadventures of Tron Bonne

This page details prerelease information and/or media for The Misadventures of Tron Bonne.

This article is a work in progress. ...Well, all the articles here are, in a way. But this one moreso, and the article may contain incomplete information and editor's notes.

This page sucks. If you could make it suck less, that would be awesome.

To do: Lot more stuff.

To do: Content form the Ragnar Locker Capcom data leak.

The Misadventures of Tron Bonne would be announced in December 1998 [1]. Between the seven month period before release, the game underwent several considerable changes in development.

Mission 1-1

Outdoors

• The life gauge is different.
• The Zenny gauge is red instead of gray and had some details changed.
• The Fish items taken by Servbots are darker.

In some parts, thought bubbles can be seen above a Servbot's head. While not used in the final version, similar balloons are present in the game's files, showing that they were worked on before being scrapped.

Indoors

The house invaded by the Servbots in Mission 1-1, which was actually a pre-rendered background, is in a rough draft form. The Servbots appear to behave differently.

Mission 3-1

Mission 3 items and switches had indicators describing them.

The Mission 3 item shown in the video is invisible, and the item's picture box is different.

This appears to be an early version of the tips that Uncle Digg left in the walls from Mission 2.

Lex Loath

The room Lex Loath appears for the first time is missing some details, like his table and the chandelier.

Meeting Room

Stage Select

Briefing

Tron's celloid on the Gesellschaft appears less refined when compared to the final.

Training Room

Also, the Servbot that replaces the targets in the training area is walking instead of running.

Concept Art

Plenty of character and location illustrations were featured in the Japanese Tron ni Kobun Otakara Gappori Guide (トロンにコブン お宝ガッポリガイド) that exhibited fascinating conceptual takes of areas and characters that didn't materialize in the final.
