Proto:Rise of the Robots (SNES)

This page details one or more prototype versions of Rise of the Robots (SNES).

This prototype is documented on Hidden Palace.

A prototype of the Japanese version has been released into the wild and contains additional source code not present in the European version.

General Differences

AI is set to its hardest level, no matter what difficulty option is selected. This makes it hard to progress through the game.

Text Differences

The prototype has the text "JAMES (J) 1994 RISE OF THE ROBOTS", which is not in the final version.

Visual Differences

Only the Mirage logo is shown when booting up the game, and even that is missing "Created and Designed by" and the trademark.
The player robot character on the title screen has the hip glitched.
The opening and ending cinematics are not present. The robot analysis and arrival cinematics take place on the main menu rather than on unique screens.
Health bars are split into sections.

Proto	Final

Unlike the final version, the title screen image is static.

Proto	Final

The results graphics are more arcade game-like than the final version, which combines the results into one monitor.
