Notes

General Differences

Prototype	Final

• The Skullmonkeys logo is missing.
• The copyright year is 1997.

Prototype	Final

Phart Head is spelled with an "F" in the control setup, but the tutorial message in-game still spells it as "Phart". This appears to have been a last-minute change, especially since the back cover, in addition to marketing materials, spell it as "Fart".

Prototype	Final

The default audio setting is Mono in the prototype.
