Proto:Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)/Later Builds

This is a sub-page of Proto:Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance).

Build 07 (July 19, 2002)

  This prototype is documented on Hidden Palace.

A build that is presented at a event at La Ronde.

E3 (Builds 04 to 06)	July 19, 2002 (La Ronde)	Final

• A Work-in-progress version of the final's title screen is implemented. Changes are:
  • The background is gone.
  • The logo is moved.
• Header is changed to "SABRINA-POCO", which was the header for another game, Sabrina: Potion Commotion.
• Main Menu is updated to include 3 options.
  • Singleplayer
    • The move where you have to press the A button twice to double-punch is removed.
  • Multiplayer: An early version of the multiplayer mode that is functional. Connects to the Rayman 3 Multi-Pak link for the GBA.

RayTag	Cat&Mouse	MissleRace

• • • To make it work, open mGBA, load the ROM, select "2) Multiplayer" and click on "New Multiplayer Window" (Up to 4 players) and select "2) Multiplayer", and it connects the Multi-Pak link.
    • If it works, you need to select a minigame. To select a minigame, press A button to select, and left and right to cycle. Press B to revert. Once you pressed A, you need to select a map. Press left and right to cycle through the four maps, and press A again. There is flashing text that says "Press Start", and press A or Start to start the minigame, then Press start to quit.
    • The three minigames are: RayTag (Ray Tag), Cat&Mouse (Cat and Mouse) and MissleRace (Missle Race), and all three of them had 4 maps and unique music.
    • These names are different, as Missle Race is labeled "Bumper Cars" , Cat & Mouse is named "Burglar Mode" and Ray Tag is named "Tag Mode", which means that all three of the minigames originally had a different objective.

• • • When losing all 5 lives in the Missle Race minigame, the game will crash.

Connection wait screen	Mockup

• • • After a fraction of a second after pressing Start, there's the placeholder title screen from Builds 01 to 03, but modified to include text that says "Waiting for connection", with the main menu palette from the E3 Version.
      • The color palette of the placeholder title screen from the March 1st, 2002 prototype fits well with this screen.
  • Options: Brings you with a options screen.
• Game is much more finished at this point.
• Credits screen is a placeholder, and can be selected from the options menu.
• Pressing Start will advance to the next level. This must be done to advance the game as well.
