Proto:Croc 2 (Windows, PlayStation)/April 30th, 1999
This is a sub-page of Proto:Croc 2 (Windows, PlayStation).
A prototype dated April 30th 1999 with a build number of 0063 was released by Hidden Palace as part of Project Deluge.
Most of the levels are the same as retail, with only a few minor changes here and there. The most prominent difference is the dialogue and text strings, which were almost entirely rewritten for the final release.
Contents
General
- The legal disclaimer has an additional line:
Croc 2 is published by Fox Interactive, Inc.
- The test level, AAAGH Mad Gobbo !!!, is absent from this build, as is the unused version of Chase the Choo Choo Train.
- Completing the secret Caveman levels returns Croc straight to the credits, without even showing Croc rescuing the last egg. The credits have no personalized message about 100% completion, either.
- A couple of text changes on the options menu:
Prototype | Final |
---|---|
Dialogue Volume | Dialog Volume |
Share Play | OmniPlay |
Share Dual Shock Vibration | Share Vibration |
- Croc's health remains on-screen when visiting the options.
- "Calibrate Controller" shows up in the text, but cannot be selected. The string was removed entirely in the final release.
- The menu associated with value 13 returns a blank option, making it possible that this was the original intended function.
- The floating Golden Gobbo that appears outside a level entrance in the final game, indicating that that level's Golden Gobbo has been collected, has not yet been implemented.
- In vehicle levels, collecting every colour crystal will automatically award the Golden Gobbo. In the final game, they appear somewhere later in the level to be picked up.
Load Game Screen
- There's an additional symbol on the name selection screen: . 🌸When selected, it acts as a blank space. In the final, this area also acts like a blank space, but is, well, blank.
- The main text is a bit further down the screen.
- The warning about switching memory cards is missing entirely.
- A lot of memory card text was revised:
Prototype | Final |
---|---|

Please Do Not Remove MEMORY CARD | Please do NOT remove Memory Card |

No MEMORY CARD Inserted | NO Memory Card is inserted |

Do you want to save ? | Do You Want To Save ? |
Do you wish to format card ? | Do you wish to format Memory Card ? |
OK | DONE |
Cheat Menu Differences
- Displays the jumps as 'Jellies'. In the final, the North American game updates it to 'Gummis' as part of the Gummi Savers tie-in.
- The cheat menu in this build contains a fully working level select as opposed to just a hub select! You can select any level in the game. The only thing missing is the 'Map' function, meaning only the demo version of Find the Key! Save the Gobbo! is unavailable without further hacking. The old level select (which still doesn't work) is also here.
- The level select here skips levels that don't exist, such as the missing levels, but it's still possible to load them by selecting a level ID first and swapping the hub ID. This will cause the game to soft lock on the loading screen. As there's no titles on the level select, it's possible for someone to crash their game unknowingly here.
- The secret levels allow you to select levels that don't exist.
- There's an additional option not found in the final:
Set Level Complete
. It does what it says on the tin, but only at the bare minimum - the Golden Gobbo is not collected. This doesn't work well for the secret levels at all, and always collects a red crystal instead of that level's specific crystal.
Swap Meet Pete
- Swap Meet Pete speaks of the item selected first, whereas in the final he waits for you to make a selection.
- Buy item is X in the prototype, but Square in the final.
- This build allows Croc to select the exit, a feature which was removed in the final (but can be accessed through hacking).
- Due to this, Croc can also skip from the Clockwork Gobbo, to the exit, to the Heart Pot. In the final, if Croc wishes to get from one end to the other, he'll need to scroll over the jellies and crystal ball.
- As with the rest of the game, most of his dialogue has differences:
Prototype | Final |
---|---|
I know the mysteries of these lands and I get quality goods wholesale for anyone with the appropriate crystals! | I know the mysteries of these lands...and I get quality goods wholesale for anyone with the appropriate crystals! |
I'm sorry Croc you are only allowed to have nine! It's the law! | I'm sorry Croc. You are only allowed to have nine! It's the law! |
Crystal Craze Gummi for simple jumps Croc, a mere 40 crystals! Be warned, make sure you buy the right Gummi for the job! | Crystal Craze Gummi Savers Jump for simple jumps, a mere 40 crystals! Make sure you buy the right Gummi Savers Jump for the job! |

Wild Berry Gummi for long jumps Croc, a mere 80 crystals! Be warned, make sure you buy the right Gummi for the job! | Wild Berries Gummi Savers Jump for long jumps, a mere 80 crystals! Make sure you buy the right Gummi Savers Jump for the job! |
This is the crystal ball. I can use it to send you to faraway places. | This is the crystal ball. I can use it to send you to far away places. |
Where would I want to go? I've never been anywhere! | Where would Croc want to go? Croc never been anywhere! |
This my friend, is our top of the line Clockwork Gobbo, but it's 50 crystals... | This, my friend, is our top of the line Clockwork Gobbo! Only 50 crystals! |
That is the way out my friend! | That is the exit, my friend! (unused) |
- There's also some missing dialogue. When Croc is ready to progress to the Inca Village, Pete starts to speak, but is cut off abruptly and instead repeats a random piece of dialogue from his text bank:
Well Croc, it seems that Five Flavor Gummi for double jumps Croc, a mere 60 crystals! Be warned, make sure you buy the right Gummi for the job!
- Similarly, Pete has no text for the secret worlds. At all.
Levels
Intro
- When Croc displays the note, the camera angle is different, focusing less on Croc:
Sailor Village
- After speaking, the Gobbo that welcomes you turns abruptly. In the final, he doesn't turn unless Croc speaks to him from the side:
- As seen above, the texture mapping on the fence to the right of the main village entrance changed slightly.
- The Smash Box containing the Magic Eye-Zoomers is placed on the opposite side, much like how it's seen in the background screenshot in the final release. The Gobbo is also moved:
- The Cannon Boat Keith entrance Gobbo appears in a different position:
- Due to the two aforementioned positional changes, when finishing the Cannon Boat Keith fight, Croc will immediately talk to the Ginger Soda Gobbo instead of the entrance Gobbo.
- Nearly all of the text was changed:
Prototype | Final |

Ok! I save you Gobbo! | Ok! Croc help Gobbo! |
Thank you! Croc, use the door you came in to return to the village. | Thank you! Use the door Croc came through to return to Village. |
- The first Smash Box in the level remains where it is in the demo releases - to the side of the cave exit.
Find 3 Lost Treasure Chests
- Known in the final game as Find 5 Lost Treasure Chests.
- Despite the name change, this level is the same as the final, and you need 5 treasure chests to complete the level. The title was likely just accidental leftover from the earlier version of the level, and was fixed for the retail build.
- The Minecart mechanic appears unfinished. Croc's animation will often be interrupted as he stumbles over geometry, his model runs ahead of the cart's movement when jumping, appearing to clip through it, and the jump sound effect doesn't play.
- The only dialogue that was changed:
Prototype | Final |
---|---|
Quick Croc, jump on other end, I'll reach treasure chest for you! | Quick, Croc! Jump on other end. Gobbo reach treasure chest! |
Croc VS Dantini Boat Race
- The water has a static texture, unlike in the final game where it's animated to appear to be flowing.
- The Dantinis' paths are different, and all three of them take far longer to finish the race, making it much easier.
- The Red Crystal was placed at the very end of the track instead of near the beginning of it.
Save the Bird from the Thief
- Croc starts a little further back.
- There's a checkpoint gong at the end of the third cave room that was removed in the final game. Interestingly, a checkpoint gong was added back into this room in the PC version, but at the start rather than the end.
Get the Gobbo's Sandiwch!
- Croc starts on the grass, rather than halfway up the cobblestone path.
- When climbing the ivy wall, leaving Croc static at a certain point can cause the camera to flicker vigorously. It's also possible for Croc to fall right back down to the bottom after reaching the top.
- When leaving the highest of the moving monkey bars, Croc can stop following it abruptly and potentially fall.
- Text is the same as that of an earlier known build, HEY! He Stole My Lunch!:
Prototype | Final |
---|---|
Croc! Throw Gobbo! Gobbo get crystal! | Croc throw Gobbo. Gobbo get crystal. |
Cannon Boat Keith
- Cutscene has changes:
Prototype | Final |
---|---|
Arrr, you called me m'lord. | Arrr! You called me m'lord? |
Ah Cannon Boat Keith, I need you for an evil endeavor. | Ah, Cannon Boat Keith! I need you for an evil endeavor. |
Anything for you m'lord aahaar. | Anything for you, m'lord...arrr! |
You must find this little green trouble-maker and get rid of him forever. | You must find this little green trouble-maker and get rid of him forever. |
I'll do this for you m'lord, I'll scare him out of his skin! | It'll be my pleasure, m'lord! I'll scare him out of his skin! |
Sailor Tribe - Secret Mine
- The side area with the narrow hallways has a completely different layout, with a series of even smaller tunnels and a Pirate Dantini:
Cossack Village
As with the Sailor Village, nearly all of the text received modifications for the final:
Prototype | Final |
---|---|
I love ginger soda me! like nothing better than home made! You make it like this...
Take one bucket..a nice fancy one, a big box of fizz..pop pop, a ginger root for tanginess, and a box of sugary goodness! Mix it all up and you get soda! |

He'll help | Thank you, Croc, for saving Larry! Croc did so well. Croc should get a medal. Maybe King will have one? Tell you what though, you should see Swap Meet Pete, Pete's a bit odd, but real nice guy! He'll help Croc out! |

Gobbo can't finish snowman. Dantinis hid the pieces around here somewhere. They so naughty!

Swap Meet Pete an odd guy! | Swap Meet Pete an odd guy! |
Save the Ice Trapped Gobbos!
- Croc starts just a smidgeon more to the left.
- This level cannot be completed. Upon entering the third cave, the game will return to the Cossack Village.
- Text is the same as the attraction level from the final:
Prototype | Final |
---|---|
I press button for bridge! You push block over the bridge! | Gobbo press button for bridge, Croc push ice block over it! |
Croc Gobbo hero! | Croc is Gobbo's hero! |
Gobbo stop spinning bridge. Croc push ice block over. | Gobbo stop spinning bridge, Croc push ice block over. |
Gobbo happy. Croc save. | Gobbo happy! Croc save! |
Gobbo! Make lift work. Croc jump on quick! | Gobbo make lift work! Quick, Croc! Jump on lift! |
Croc save friends. Now Gobbo get TNT out of block. | Croc save Gobbos! Gobbo get TNT out of ice block. |
Croc best friend. | Croc is Gobbo's best friend. |
Chase the Choo Choo Train
- The switch at the end is coloured red, and switches to green. In the final, it's the opposite.
- If you don't hit the switch in time, no mini cutscene plays, and you're sent back to the Cossack Village.
- If you do hit the switch in time, no mini cutscene plays here, either. Instead, Croc can walk right into the collisionless train, stopping only when the Gobbos want to talk with him.
- Speaking of which, their dialogue was modified for the final:
Prototype | Final |
---|---|
Oh Thanks Croc! We thought we was goners! Those Dantinis are so naughty! | Oh thanks, Croc! Gobbos were almost goners! Dantinis are so naughty! |
It's Just Snowball Madness!
- Croc is briefly seen hopping on the snowball as the level starts.
- The layout of the track has changed. After the first gong, where the track branches into two paths, the lower path is much more direct in the prototype. In the final game, it curves outward then branches into a Y-shape:
Hang Glider Valley
- Much like the plane in the Dante's Peak boss fight, when Croc gets hit, smoke comes off him, and if he gets hit a second time he'll go down in smoke, resetting the level:
Kabooom! It's Roger Red Ant
- The layout of the timer switches room has changed significantly:
The box immediately to the left of the entrance door wasn't there. This platform was extended to accommodate it:
The path to the left of the first Dantini curves immediately, but it extends further in the final game:
A box and a Dantini appear here; in the final game they were moved:
Finally, the Gobbo is tied up atop a huge box rather than a small one, and the Dantini that was moved from the level below appears here in the final game:
- There's no Camera change at the end of the level, and Roger was moved forward in the final game:
- As with other levels, the text has changes:
Prototype | Final |

It's Ginger Soda Day soon, but the mysterious Gobbo who makes it for us hasn't arrived, and we might not have enough.
If only someone could make some, I'm sure they could mix it in the village cauldron. All the ingredients are around here somewhere. |

Find the wheels in the Mine!
- Known as "Find the Wheels in the Mine!" in the retail version.
- The minecart appears to be a little more to the left side of the track.
Find the Wheels in the Jungle!
- When entering the first cave, the camera is a bit further back.
Climb the Devil's Tower
- There's a missing Smash Box in the fourth area.
Save 50 Trapped Gobbos!
- There's no fire surrounding the Gobbo on a pillar (as seen in the attraction level on the retail release).
- There's a fire around a wall (also seen in the final attraction version of the level).
Venus Fly Von-Trappe
- The skeleton Dantinis attack immediately upon entry to the first cave.
- There's an extra skeleton Dantini in the second cave.
- The fly traps still hit Croc as he sails past on the balloon.
- The text was changed a bit for the final:
Prototype | Final |
---|---|
Help! We're trapped inside Venus! Roll the rocks down the ramps! Venus spit us out! | Help! Gobbos trapped inside Venus! Roll rocks down ramps! Venus spit Gobbo out! |
The Village Masher
- Text changes, matching the attraction level found in the final game:
Prototype | Final |
---|---|
Hold on, we'll find you another bucket! | Hold on! Gobbos find Croc another bucket! |
Fill the bucket with water, and throw it at the fire breathing monster! | Fill bucket with water, throw water at fire-breathing monster! |
- The cutscene also has (minor) changes to the dialogue:
Prototype | Final |
---|---|

Save 25 Gobbo Babies!
- Known as "Save 30 Gobbo Babies!" in the final.
- Much like Find 3 Lost Treasure Chests, this title is merely a leftover from an earlier game, and you do still have to rescue 30 Gobbo babies.
- In the final, Croc only has to walk over to the vases to break them. Here, he must tail whip or leap on them.
- The wall in front of the carousel is extremely bright for some reason, suggesting a door would be there. This was fixed in the final.
Up the Waterfall
- There's a second snake rope on the middle section of the waterfall. In the final, Croc has to swim across whilst fighting the current with no help.
- In the same area, a rather unfortunate glitch can occur - Croc can slip through the waterfall and end up on an invisible plane underneath, making it hard to get back up without falling all the way back to the beginning.
Bride of the Dungeon of Defright
- More text that was changed (and once again, it resembles the text found in the unused attraction version left in the final):
Prototype | Final |
---|---|
Catch Bombs and blow up cage Croc ! | Croc! Catch the bombs and blow up the cage! |
Help Me! Over Here! | Help me! Over here! |
Thank you! | Thank you! |
Your my friend for life! | You're my friend for life! |

I'm so glad you arrived Croc!
Whilst you were fighting Baron Dante, I escape using my self-propelling pencil! The Baron escaped, he in the heart of his evil domain! You keep the Baron busy and I'll try and find a way to send him whence he came!

I'm so glad you've arrived Croc!
While you were fighting Baron Dante, I escaped using my self-propelling pencil! Oh yes! The Baron retreated to the heart of his evil domain! You keep the Baron busy, I'll try and find a way to send him back from whence he came! You'll have to get through Dungeon of Defright and defeat Goo Man Chu, the Goo monster! |
Dante's Peak
- The battle's mechanics are quite different. Rather than each hit just reducing Croc's HP, getting hit 3 times will reset the fight, with each hit causing more smoke to billow out of Croc's plane, until the third hit causes him to go down in smoke, veering uncontrollably down and to the left:
- Changes to the cutscene text:
Prototype | Final |
---|---|
Doors open to the Inventor's workshop. You are big and brave, can you look inside? | The doors are open to the Inventor's workshop. You're big and brave, can you go in? |
Buzzing getting louder.....Hope Croc hasn't been eaten. | Buzzing getting louder.....Hope Croc hasn't been eaten. |
Dante's Final Fight
- Text changes at the end of the fight:
Prototype | Final |
---|---|
Keep Dante busy. I'll use crystals to open a portal. | Croc! Keep Dante busy while I open a portal with these crystals. |
Oh! No! NO! NOOO! I can't believe it! Not again! Croc you little... | Oh! No! NO! NOOO! I can't believe it! Not again! Croc, you little... |
We did it! The Baron is gone! | We did it! The Baron is gone! |
Look what Gobbo found! Maybe it useful for you?! | Look what I found! Maybe it can be of some use to you? |
Secret Levels
Secret Caveman Village
- When Croc leaves the level, he ends up facing a weird angle, walking straight into the wall.
Ending
- Last but not least, more text alterations:
Prototype | Final |
---|---|
Oh Croc! It IS You! I thought I'd lost you forever! | Oh, Croc! It IS you! I thought we'd lost you forever! |
Look! | Look! |
Well done Croc! You did it! You rid the world of the evil Dante! But I can't help feeling he won't be gone forever! I hope you collected the Jigsaw pieces just in case! | Well done, Croc! You did it! You rid the world of the evil Baron Dante! I can't help feeling he'll be back! I hope you collected the Jigsaw pieces just in case! |
