...Well, all the articles here are, in a way. But this one moreso, and the article may contain incomplete information and editor's notes.
And you were just a scroll away from being fired too...
Oh dear, I do believe I have the vapors.
This page contains content that is not safe for work or other locations with the potential for personal embarrassment.
Such as: Climax really had a lot of fun with their anger.
Elementary, my dear Cactus.
This needs some investigation.
Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page.
Specifically: There’s probably more things hidden in the many XML files. Like debugging symbols and more vulgar developer messages.
Hmmm...
To do:
Differences.
Title Screen.

An early prototype of Hot Wheels World Race was dumped on May 3, 2021 by Ziimbiian. The prototype itself is very buggy and unstable, but it has a lot of interesting things hidden in the files that cannot be seen because whenever you select a track, the prototype crashes. This build predates the final build by 6 months. This prototype can only be used with Microsoft’s .NET Framework or DevStudio3, according to the README.txt file. Most of these files are leftover from the March 31, 2003 prototype for the PlayStation 2.
