Jungle by Day

Prototype	Final
MOWGLI BEGINS HIS JOURNEY THROUGH THE JUNGLE TO FIND THE MAN VILLAGE	MOWGLI BEGINS HIS JOURNEY TO FIND THE MAN VILLAGE

• The compass at the beginning is missing.
• There's a monkey at the top of the vine here instead of a raspberry bunch.
• A design difference between the trees.

Prototype	Final

• There's a vine on the far left. In the final, Mowgli has to use a small branch to reach further up.
• The cobra is missing from the top, and some items and graphics have been shifted.

Prototype	Final

• There's a glitch here. Grab on to the swinging vine on the left, and move down to the bottom of the vine. Mowgli will move through the screen, and the graphics will become corrupt and lose Mowgli entirely. It will remain this way until Mowgli (offscreen) loses a life. The vine was removed in the final, preventing this glitch from happening.

• A lot of items are missing or have been moved.
• The boar is an armadillo in the prototype. Instead of moving back and forth, the armadillo curls up until Mowgli approaches, then it runs and rolls onto him. Mowgli only gets hurt if he catches the armadillo as he's rolling, not as he's running.
• Near the bottom armadillo is a short vine which was removed in the final.
• The see-saw was moved over in the final, so that Mowgli doesn't have to move when he uses it. There are also design differences here, and a monkey instead of a swinging vine.

Prototype	Final

• The cobra has an incorrect palette.

• There's a minor graphics error near the cobra.
  • Mowgli can walk straight through the wall here.
• Hathi Jr. is missing at the bottom of the level. Speaking of which, Hathi Jr. has a different color scheme.

Prototype	Final

• Different background vine is located nearby.
• The large vine leading to the owl totem is missing entirely.
• The platform at the top of the see-saw contains a cobra and a monkey instead of a boar.
• The next platform contains another monkey and lacks the boomerang item, snake and raspberries.

Prototype	Final

• There's a swinging vine which leads to the next area, which makes up for the lack of a long vine.

Prototype	Final

• The owl totem is absent, replaced with a boulder item. There's also a banana bunch here instead of a gem. Finally, more level design differences can be seen.

Prototype	Final

• The top branch on the right has no collision (or item). There is, however, a vine here.
• The lower, smaller branch contains no item. In the final, there's a group of small rocks for Mowgli to use.
• There's no vine or gem at the side of this platform. Instead, a swinging vine is on the edge.

Prototype	Final

• Fruit are missing from the very top of this area.
• The swinging vine is closer to the platform in the prototype.
• There are two more swinging vines in the prototype, but in the final, they're replaced with static long vines. Also, the fruit is missing again.

Prototype	Final

• There's no bee enemy here in the final, but there is in the prototype.
• Hathi Jr. is missing again.
• Different items. The boomerang found in the final is also missing.

Prototype	Final

• At the other side, some fruit is missing. The gem is also misplaced a bit too far over in the prototype.

Prototype	Final

• There's a thorn patch here in the final, but it hasn't been programmed in yet. Instead, it's your classic bottomless pit.

Prototype	Final

• At the end where Bagheera normally is, a see-saw resides (which is normally on one of the platforms above). Many of the powerups and items obtainable here are absent, as are Hathi and a boar enemy.

Prototype	Final

The Great Tree

Prototype	Final
MOWGLI REACHES THE GREAT TREE WHERE HE MEETS KAA THE SNAKE	MOWGLI REACHES THE GREAT TREE WHERE KAA THE SNAKE AWAITS

• Level does not exist, though the 'Get Ready' text exists. Unlike The Wastelands, it can't be hacked into the level select.

The Dawn Patrol

Prototype	Final
COLONEL HOFFEE AND THE DAWN PATROL HELP THE MAN CUB THROUGH THE JUNGLE	THE DAWN PATROL HELP THE MAN CUB THROUGH THE JUNGLE

• Mowgli appears in mid-air, falling straight to Hathi Jr. (who has a different color scheme).

Prototype	Final

• Only 6 gems are on this level.
• Mowgli has to wait a bit before the patrol appears.
• If Colonel Hathi leaves the screen and Mowgli is still at the starting area, the game will crash and provide a crash handler.

• As with the previous level, there's a lot of items that are in different positions or just missing.
• Colonel Hathi doesn't spray water like he does in the final.
• There's a bird enemy here that isn't present at this location in the final. Like the cobra, it suffers from palette issues. It was redrawn for the final.

Prototype	Final

• The vine at the side is longer, but it doesn't work.
• The first platform to the right lacks the monkey and fruit (but the banana bunch is still here), and Mowgli can only reach it by leaping on the monkey here.
• So does the second. It also lacks the gem found in the final.
• The third platform has Hathi Jr. instead of a monkey and bees and several pieces of fruit.
• The third platform is higher in the prototype.
• The fourth lacks Hathi Jr. and the items. The vine is longer.
• The fifth platform has no boulder bunch.
• The sixth has Hathi Jr. instead, and a gem instead of a monkey, snake, heart and boulder item.
• The seventh platform is empty, instead of containing a monkey and fruit. The vine is longer.
• The ninth platform contains another Hathi Jr. instead of a cobra and fruit.
• The tenth lacks the monkey and hides the gem. A bird is missing in the prototype.
• The eleventh platform has no boar or fruit, but includes a gem and an armadillo. There's also no monkey enemy on the tree here, nor is there a bird at the end.
• The twelfth platform contains a Hathi Jr. instead of fruit.
• The thirteenth platform is blank, without a monkey.
• The fourteenth platform contains a 1-Up, whereas in the final Hathi Jr. is waiting.
• The fifteenth platform has no additional items, and has the usual armadillo substitute for the boar. There's no vine here.
• The sixteenth platform contains a gem like it does in the final, but it's moved over a little.
• The seventeenth platform contains nothing, and the bush that covers a 1-Up in the final is higher.
• Upper platforms are mostly the same, though there is a 1-Up in place of a monkey on the lower branches.
• The high vines are almost off the screen in the prototype.

Prototype	Final

• One vine is placed too close to another for it to be useful. Several enemies are missing.

Prototype	Final

The River

Prototype	Final
MOWGLI MAKES HIS WAY DOWN THE DANGEROUS RIVER WHERE HE WILL MEET BALOO	MOWGLI MAKES HIS WAY DOWN THE RIVER WHERE HE MEETS BALOO

• Color scheme is completely different.
• Only 6 gems to find again.
• You start on the trees instead of near the river.

Prototype	Final

• ...Probably because the river is a mess.

Prototype	Final

• The turtle is too far over for Mowgli to leap on, and doesn't bop gently on the water like it does in the final.
• The fish enemy behaves differently. Here, it leaps out of the water in a straight line.

Prototype	Final

• There's a Hathi Jr. on the first platform from the bottom.
• The platforms don't sink when Mowgli lands on them.
• There's no frog or gem on the next platform.
• The rolling logs are missing, as are the fruit.
• There's no bird enemy at the top.
• Different timer icon, no fruit or rolling logs again.
• Lack of fruit down the river.
• Since the turtle doesn't work, you need to get to the next platform via the sky. There are two fish enemies here.
• Another (incorrect) palette is applied to the bird enemy.

The Dawn Patrol	The River

• There's a bit more foliage in the final.
• Vines are longer in the prototype. There's an additional vine at the star too.
• All the items hidden by the tree on the furthest left are missing, as is the apple on the other side.
• The apple at the top left is missing, but the gem is still here at least. Not that you can get it, because the vines are too high up and Mowgli doesn't jump off them very well.
• This platform is missing entirely, so you have to go down before you can continue.
• Apple was moved a little from the next top platform.
• As is the norm, prototype lacks several fruit and powerups here.

The River and Baloo

Prototype/Final
BALOO HELPS THE MAN CUB FINISH HIS JOURNEY ALONG THE RIVER

• Like before, you're placed in the trees to start with instead. You fall directly onto an unsuspecting monkey.

Prototype	Final

• Down at the bottom, you can see why - Baloo is missing and, if you get Hathi Jr. from here, you've sealed Mowgli's fate. You'll need to restart or wait until Mowgli is out of lives, because he can't get anywhere from here.

Prototype	Final

• The parallax scrolling is still broken, and the color scheme is different like before. The bottom left area was redesigned.
• There's no anteater enemy at all.
• As usual, loads of missing fruit and powerups all over.
• Minor graphical changes to the leaves here and there.
• You can move the camera left and right while on a vine in the final, prototype doesn't have this just yet.
• Missing branch, and a horizontal vine was added in this area. The bee enemy is missing too.

Prototype	Final

• The monkey is just above here, rather than a little to the side.
• The gem is at the side in the prototype, instead of being shielded by the monkey.
• You can't walk across the tree, Mowgli will fall down when he reaches the trunk.
• Because of this, you can't leap across to the right. You need to fall down and use the bird enemy to leap to the next area, down below.
• Nearby, there's a 1-Up replacing the peach fruit.
• There's some interesting stuff going on with the leaves...

Prototype	Final

• There's no vine mid-way here.
• At the end of the horizontal vines, there's no extra branch for Mowgli to get to.
• At the bottom, Bagheera is missing as usual, and there's a few different object placements.

Prototype	Final

• More object placement differences.
