Proto:Beethoven: The Ultimate Canine Caper (SNES)

This page details one or more prototype versions of Beethoven: The Ultimate Canine Caper (SNES).

  This prototype is documented on Hidden Palace.

A proto exists, which appears to be very close to release candidacy as there are very few differences.

Header

The header of the proto is still using the title "Super Tom & Jerry", which might explain this.

Gameplay Differences

• When you start either scene in world 1, Beethoven starts too far to the left. If you wait a few seconds, this will be corrected and the dog will "jerk" right to the furthest left the game allows. This was fixed in the final.

• Occasionally, enemies will make no sound if they're killed off-screen in the proto.

Prototype	Final

• An apple was repositioned in world 2-2 to not be an unavoidable hit.

Sounds

• When using a charged growl against the dogs in world 3, they appear to whine twice in the proto creating an "echo" effect. This was fixed in the final.

• The growl when Beethoven's bark projectile is charging up is much longer in the proto.

• The puppy whine is rougher and lower-pitched.
