CSG '91

Early footage of the game from a (just uploaded) CSG promo tape. [1]

  • The title screen doesn't animate. The copyright date says 1991 instead of 1992.
  • The HUD looks different. The lives counter is in the top-right instead of bottom-left. There's a big "SC" denoting the score.
  • Master Higgins Takahashi Meijin looks different -- at least his head does. He's cross-eyed in the footage. The skateboarding sprite in particular looks pretty rough.

And further observations via Scott C on the Discord:
There are also smaller sprites for the bananas and scrapped cake and apple fruits. R1-2 (the one with the waterfalls, I'm assuming) has smaller moving platformers made of stone instead of grass and soil. The stone terrain looks brown instead of grey like the final.
Also yes, his head is very different. His mouth is open and he looks overall angrier than the final.
I've also just noticed that he skids whenever he turns on the ground. In the final, his momentum resets and thus doesn't skid (except on ice and sometimes on moving platforms).

Also it seems the same (or similar) build was featured in issue 146 of Weekly Famitsu. --Rabidabid (talk) 00:33, 16 January 2021 (UTC)
