Proto:Jet Set Radio Future

This page details one or more prototype versions of Jet Set Radio Future.

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.

A prototype from December 4, 2001 was released as part of Hidden Palace's Project Deluge. It is dated almost two months before the final build and has quite a few differences.

  This prototype is documented on Hidden Palace.

Graphical Differences

Character Icons

The character icons either have a cartoony look or use a render of the in-game model albeit taken at a different angle than the ones used in the final.

The piece is done when there are no more yellow triangles.	The piece is done when there are no more the round-shaped mark.

Gum refers to the graffiti marks as triangular instead of round-shaped. This is most likely due to the dialogue not being updated after the design of the mark changed.

Proto	Final
You gotta get 10 spray can.	Collect 10 Spray Cansǃ

The objective text was updated in the final to improve the translation.

Proto	Final
Get 10 spray cans, and press the "B button".	Collect 10 Spray Cans and perform a Boost Dash with the "B button"ǃ

The text for this objective was later updated to refer to the Boost Dash.
