Notes

The Cutting Room Floor research

This prototype has a research article on TCRF.

This build originates from three different sources - a SCEA disc, a SCEE disc, and a bootleg copy with SCEI license. While all of them are identical content-wise, neither of them are perfect matches.

• An NTSC-U build, that seems to match the demo used at E3 1996.
• The game cannot be saved onto memory card.
• In the map screen, hold down L1 + L2 + R2 + Left and press R1 to unlock all levels and receive all collectibles.
  • However, this build is restricted to the first two islands.
