- 7-1 (Ending cutscene):
- Ending cutscene hasn't been implemented but selecting it from the debug menu level select loads a partially finished cutscene model with no background where Klonoa can be controlled and moved around; the ground is solid, possibly due to the cutscene model being copypasted from 1-1
