This page details one or more prototype versions of Fire 'n Ice.

So very stubbly.
This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion.
Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?
Notes: Much, much more differences

This is an early localization prototype with plenty of text differences, many of which are from typo corrections and rewording. For easier reading, minor differences in the scripts such as misspellings will be in bold.

Intro

Prototype Final
A long,long time ago,
there was an ice island
far to the north.
A long time ago,
there was an ice island
far to the north.
Prototype Final
It was called
Coolmint Island,
a peaceful island
inhabited by the winter
faries.
It was called
Coolmint Island,
a peaceful island
inhabited by the winter
fairies.
Prototype Final
An evil wizard named
Druidle release Flame
Monsters on the island.
An evil wizard named
Druidle sent Flame
Monsters on the island.
Prototype Final
"Left like this,Coolmint
Island will be melted by
them!"
"If something isn't done,
Coolmint Island will
melt away!"

This piece of text was completely rewritten in the final version. Interestingly, both scripts use an unnecessary pair of quotation marks which were added by the English localizers for what ever reason.

Prototype Final
In response to the crisis
of the winter faires,
their queen called upon a wizard.
In response to this crisis
the queen of the winter
fairies called upon a
wizard.

The final fixes up some awkward wording but manages to remove a correctly placed comma in the process. The misspelling of "faires" was corrected again.

Prototype Final
The choosen one was・・・
a novice wizard named
Dana.
She chose・・・
a novice wizard named
Dana.
Prototype Final
"But,I'm really expecting
you is
your wisdom and
courage."
"You have been chosen
for
your wisdom and
courage."

Grandma Stories

Prototype Final
"Ok,I see.

the story about Dana?"
