An NTSC-U preview of Spyro the Dragon for the Sony PlayStation, dated less than a month before the final build.
==Notes==
{{Tcrf link| Proto:Spyro_the_Dragon_(PlayStation)/July_18th,_1998_build}}

*The game starts with a placeholder "Temporary Boot Menu".
*There are no intro or ending cutscenes.
*Many dragons are still missing the cutscenes and audio dialogue they'd use in the final game.
**A few of the dragon dialogue audio clips are missing their backing tracks.
*A number of dragons use different textures and coloring schemes to their final appearance.
*All dragons in the Beast Makers world are called "Silvus".
*Gnasty Gnorc's level and Gnasty's Loot are called "Gnasty Place" and "Gnasty Booty" respectively.
*Only a small number of music tracks are in this build, apparently unchanged since the June 15th prototype.
*Gem placement is still unfinished in some places.
*A glitch in the Artisans world sometimes makes it impossible to complete, as the gem count sometimes totals to a value less than 100.
**Specifically, a group of gems near Town Square's portal only count towards the gem total if Sparx picks them up, rather than Spyro.
*There's one extra gem in Lofty Castle for some reason.
*There's still a number of noticeable gaps between polygons in some of the level models at this point in development.
*This version of the game includes dongle protection to avoid it being used on hardware. An xdelta patch has always been provided alongside the prototype.
**In lieu of patching, a memory card card file containing the dongle save can be downloaded in mcd format [[Media:SPYRODONGLES.mcd|here]] or in raw format [[Media:BASLUS-99999SPYRODNG|here]].
***The memory card containing the dongle has to be inserted into Slot 2.
*Dumped twice with MPF and once with CloneCD, all dumps matched.

== Cheat codes ==
The cheat codes present in this build seem to be in place mostly for testing purposes. They can be used at any time during gameplay by holding down the buttons for a few seconds at the same time. Aside from the XA playback code, the activation of which is obviously signaled by the music turning off, the successful entry of the other combinations are indicated by Spyro doing a light jump into the air whilst in a frozen idle state.
{| class="wikitable"
!Level Select
|L1 + L2 + R1 + R2
|This code activates a level select mode. After this, you can input a two-button combination corresponding to the level ID from the list below.
'''0''' = ''O'' | '''1''' = ''X'' | '''2''' = ''Square'' | '''3''' = ''Triangle'' | '''4''' = ''Right'' | '''5''' = ''Down'' | '''6''' = ''Left''

Pressing '''Up''' warps you to the next level as it appears in the inventory. Using it on the last level in the list will warp you back to level '''10'''.
|-
!Toggle active/passive camera
|L2 + R1
|Does exactly the same as the option found in the pause menu.
|-
!Toggle invincibility & timer freeze
|R1 + R2 + Circle
|Entering this code prevents Sparx from losing health whenever Spyro takes damage.
Sparx is still able to increase his health while the code is active. It will also freeze the timer in the flight levels.
|-
!Toggle XA playback
|Square + Triangle + Circle + X
|First entry deactivates the music. Re-entering the code re-enables playback. However, the first track of the STR file in use is played instead.
Pausing and unpausing the game reverts to the intended music.

A prototype of Spyro the Dragon for the Sony PlayStation, built about a month before the final build.
==Notes==
{{Tcrf link| Proto:Spyro_the_Dragon_(PlayStation)/July_11th,_1998_build}}

* This build has dongle protection, which causes a crash during start up if no dongle is detected. There are a couple ways to circumvent this:
** [https://files.hiddenpalace.org/8/8a/SPYRODONGLES.mcd This dongle file], inserted into slot 2.
** Patching the iso with [https://files.hiddenpalace.org/4/44/Spyro_the_Dragon_%28Jul_11%2C_1998_prototype%29_dongle_patch.xdelta this xdelta patch] before playing.
* Game starts up with a "temporary boot menu" instead of a title screen or any of the copyright screens.
* Attempting to delete files from a full memory card will bring up a file delete screen. Progressing into this screen will show the message "Delete Screen Is Not. Ready Yet. You Got The Shemp.".
* The soundtrack is in a completely different order compared to the final release, and only 10 tracks are present, instead of nearly every level getting an exclusive theme.
** These tracks are seemingly almost randomly assigned. The tracklist matches other builds from May through July.
** These tracks are all in stereo quality, whereas many of them were changed to mono in the final release.
** None of the secret bonus tracks are present, and the bonus track functionality isn't implemented yet.
** In the Beast Makers worlds the tracks are incorrectly given track lengths corresponding with the theme used in Stone Hill. This means that many of the tracks in these levels will loop at unusual times, for example before the track is finished.
* Many sound effects are missing throughout the game. Many of the sounds that are present are different, too.
* Many of the dragons have not yet received their final animations.
** Of those that have animations, a handful of them have unfinished audio - missing or changed background music, different lines, early dialogue takes, and a couple of them have incredibly slow, low pitched audio, indicating they were exported with an incorrect sample rate.
** For the first three worlds, the dragons without animations show a text screen with some dialogue instead (often differing from their cutscene dialogue), and from Beast Makers onwards, any dragon that is collected will instantly disappear. The dialogue screen is a feature entirely absent from the final game.
** Looping sounds will continue playing in the dialogue screen. For example, charging into a dragon can make the charging sound continue playing whilst the dialogue is on screen.
* There's a strange effect that happens when a cutscene dragon is collected after a non-cutscene dragon in the same level - if the counter has not been displayed on screen between the two, at the end of the cutscene it will appear to go up for each non-cutscene dragon collected as well as the cutscene one, due to the counter having not updated yet.
** This is usually not possible in other builds, but this build allows it due to there being levels that have a mix of both dragon types.
* Gem placement differs in quite a few places across the game.
* The extra life statues are gold instead of silver.
* The animation that plays upon collecting a dragon egg cannot be skipped. The same is true for key animations - locked chests and the doors in Gnasty Gnorc and Gnasty's Loot.
* The end of level vortex platform has no low-poly LOD model, so it will appear to pop into view when Spyro is a short distance away from it.
* Some level portals - such as the Toasty portal - seem to be slightly more difficult to enter, as Spyro gets caught on the collision instead of going straight through.
* The question mark doesn't appear to be in the 3D font yet, so any question marks (e.g. in the balloonists' "Are You Ready To Go?" dialogue) appear as an apostrophe instead.
* All balloonists look the same, sporting a blue outfit with a red scarf, rather than each being different as in the final.
* A number of levels have different names. Unless otherwise stated, levels in this article will be described by their final names.
** All boss levels are called "BOSS" instead of their respective names.
** All flight levels are called "FLYING" instead of their respective names.
** Alpine Ridge is called "ALPINE CLIFFS"
** Gnasty's World is called the "MACHINISTS WORLD".
** Gnorc Cove and Twilight Harbor have switched names in this version. Considering Gnorc Cove was given its final name in builds both earlier and later than this one, it seems more likely that this level being called Twilight Harbor here is a mistake rather than the original intent.
** The level "GNASTY GNORC" is called "GNASTY PLACE".
** Gnasty's Loot is called "BOSS", just as other levels with a level ID ending in 4 do in this build.
* When entering a boss level, the loading screen reads "ENTERING BOSS" instead of "CONFRONTING BOSS".
* The requirements to travel between worlds is different in a couple places:
** Going from Magic Crafters to Beast Makers requires 7 eggs instead of 5.
** Going from Beast Makers to Dream Weavers requires 42 dragons instead of 50.
* There are a few places where the number of dragons or gems in a level differs from the final.
** The second dragon in Gnorc Gnexus isn't present yet.
** There's an extra dragon in Gnorc Cove.
** Only 381 of the 400 gems in Twilight Harbor are present. As a result, Gnasty's Loot is inaccessible under normal means.
* The maximum dragon counts in the inventory also differ from the in-game dragon counts in a few places:
** Gnorc Gnexus has 2 in the inventory, matching the final's dragon count instead of this build's 1 dragon.
** Gnorc Cove has 4 in the inventory, instead of the 3 in-game.
** Twilight Harbor claims to have 0 dragons, instead of the level's 2.
* There's no option to quit the game in the pause menu.
* The smoke Spyro emits when the superflame powerup is active is absent in this build.
* There are no story cutscenes, nor any credits sequences.
* Some levels have major lighting differences.
* Flight levels often start with a different amount of time, and the collectables will often give different amounts of additional time to the final.
* Opening the Sunny Flight portal requires stepping on the stones in a specific order, rather than any order. This sequence has no sound effects, the stones always light up when stood on if done in the right order (in the final, they only light up after you've spoken to a certain dragon in Wizard Peak), and the stones are textured differently to the final, too. The wall opening sound during this sequence is absent.
* Both Dry Canyon and Dream Weavers Home include red spring chests, which are only present in Lofty Castle in the final game.
* In the Magic Crafters home, one of the opening rooms uses grey wall textures and blue lighting instead of red wall textures and yellow lighting.
* Alpine Ridge and Wizard Peak both have gems floating in their exit vortices, a feature cut from the final.
* In High Caves, there are a handful of flags placed around the level which don't appear in the final game.
* In Wizard Peak, Spyro does the wrong entrance animation and bonks against the wall in front of him instead of gracefully landing on the floor below.
* The room with the dragon in the middle of Blowhard is missing. Instead, the dragon is on the boardwalk outside the cave.
* In Tree Tops, some of the usually stone brick textured areas are textured with a tree stump design instead.
* Wild Flight uses a totally different and much brighter skybox. The level's texture work is very incomplete and its lighting is very dull and flat, contrasting with the final's much more vibrant lighting. All of the crystals are purple instead of some of them being green, and none of them glow.
* Dream Weavers includes some extra geometry around one of the buildings that you can platform across to collect a few more gems. This leads to a gem that drops a gem spawner (thus spawning several more gems) upon collection - this is quite unusual, and there's nothing like it in any other known build of any of the original Spyro trilogy.
* There are some large holes in the geometry in Dark Passage and Haunted Towers.
* Icy Flight's texture work is very incomplete and its lighting is very dull and flat. The lighthouses have red and white stripes instead of a grey brick texture.
* Gnorc Gnexus has very flat lighting. The low LOD model appears to be almost totally grey, which makes the level look grey in the distance. The skybox is totally different.
* The opening area of Gnasty Gnorc has a reinforced crate, which is only destroyable using superflame. A superflame fairy appears in the opening to the second section of the level. Both of these are absent in the final. Spyro keeps his superflame for the rest of the level.
* In Gnasty Place, after the slithering part of the path, Spyro can either take the usual route to the end of the level, or he can jump across some additional platforms unique to this version. Additionally, around this point, Gnasty’s path also diverts from the usual route through the level. He jumps across some platforms that are in the final level but aren't usually used by him or the player.
* Gnasty Gnorc spawns the shield enemies from Dark Hollow behind him in the final section of his level.
* There's a vortex at the end of Gnasty Gnorc, which isn't usually there. Entering the vortex crashes the game due to a missing whirlwind animation. The level must be exited via the pause menu.
* Gnasty's Loot is inaccessible under normal means, due to some missing gems in Twilight Harbor. You can still enter Gnasty's Loot by either setting your gem total to 12000 using the GameShark code <code>8007184C 2EE0</code> or inputting the level select code plus ID from the list below.
* Gnasty's Loot has a lot of unfinished texture work, appearing to be partially using the textures from its block-out stage. There is no Gnasty Gnorc painting texture.
* In Gnasty's Loot, Spyro's maximum flight height depends on where you started flying, not how high you’ve been so far. This can make the level a pain to complete if you land anywhere lower than where you've just come from.
* Exiting Gnasty's Loot via the vortex will crash the game as Spyro enters the “returning home” sequence. Exiting via the pause menu works fine, though.

==Cheat codes==
The cheat codes present in this build seem to be in place mostly for testing purposes. They can be used at any time during gameplay by holding down the buttons for a few seconds at the same time. Aside from the XA playback code, the activation of which is obviously signaled by the music turning off, the successful entry of the other combinations are indicated by Spyro doing a light jump into the air whilst in a frozen idle state.
{| class="wikitable"
!Level Select
|L1 + L2 + R1 + R2
|This code activates a level select mode. After this, you can input a two-button combination corresponding to the level ID from the list below.
'''0''' = ''O'' | '''1''' = ''X'' | '''2''' = ''Square'' | '''3''' = ''Triangle'' | '''4''' = ''Right'' | '''5''' = ''Down'' | '''6''' = ''Left''

Pressing '''Up''' warps you to the next level as it appears in the inventory. Using it on the last level in the list will warp you back to level '''10'''.
|-
!Toggle active/passive camera
|L2 + R1
|Does exactly the same as the option found in the pause menu.
|-
!Toggle invincibility & timer freeze
|R1 + R2 + Circle
|Entering this code prevents Sparx from losing health whenever Spyro takes damage.
Sparx is still able to increase his health while the code is active. It will also freeze the timer in the flight levels.
|-
! Toggle XA playback
|Square + Triangle + Circle + X
|First entry deactivates the music. Re-entering the code re-enables playback. However, the first track of the STR file in use is played instead.
Pausing and unpausing the game reverts to the intended music.

* The soundtrack is in a completely different order compared to the final release, and only 10 tracks are present, instead of nearly every level getting an exclusive theme.
** These tracks are seemingly almost randomly assigned. The tracklist matches other builds from May through July.
** These tracks are all in stereo quality, whereas many of them were changed to mono in the final release.
** None of the secret bonus tracks are present, and the bonus track functionality isn't implemented yet.
** In the Beast Makers worlds the tracks are incorrectly given track lengths corresponding with the theme used in Stone Hill. This means that many of the tracks in these levels will loop at unusual times, for example before the track is finished.
* Many sound effects are missing throughout the game. Many of the sounds that are present are different, too.
* Many of the dragons have not yet received their final animations.
** Of those that have animations, a handful of them have unfinished audio - missing or changed background music, different lines, early dialogue takes, and a couple of them have incredibly slow, low pitched audio, indicating they were exported with an incorrect sample rate.
** For the first three worlds, the dragons without animations show a text screen with some dialogue instead (often differing from their cutscene dialogue), and from Beast Makers onwards, any dragon that is collected will instantly disappear. The dialogue screen is a feature entirely absent from the final game.
** Looping sounds will continue playing in the dialogue screen. For example, charging into a dragon can make the charging sound continue playing whilst the dialogue is on screen.
* There's a strange effect that happens when a cutscene dragon is collected after a non-cutscene dragon in the same level - if the counter has not been displayed on screen between the two, at the end of the cutscene it will appear to go up for each non-cutscene dragon collected as well as the cutscene one, due to the counter having not updated yet.
** This is usually not possible in other builds, but this build allows it due to there being levels that have a mix of both dragon types.
* Gem placement differs in quite a few places across the game.
* The extra life statues are gold instead of silver.
* The animation that plays upon collecting a dragon egg cannot be skipped. The same is true for key animations - locked chests and the doors in Gnasty Gnorc and Gnasty's Loot.
* The end of level vortex platform has no low-poly LOD model, so it will appear to pop into view when Spyro is a short distance away from it.
* Some level portals - such as the Toasty portal - seem to be slightly more difficult to enter, as Spyro gets caught on the collision instead of going straight through.
* The question mark doesn't appear to be in the 3D font yet, so any question marks (e.g. in the balloonists' "Are You Ready To Go?" dialogue) appear as an apostrophe instead.
* All balloonists look the same, sporting a blue outfit with a red scarf, rather than each being different as in the final.
* A number of levels have different names. Unless otherwise stated, levels in this article will be described by their final names.
** All boss levels are called "BOSS" instead of their respective names.
** All flight levels are called "FLYING" instead of their respective names.
** Alpine Ridge is called "ALPINE CLIFFS"
** Gnasty's World is called the "MACHINISTS WORLD".
** Gnorc Cove and Twilight Harbor have switched names in this version. Considering Gnorc Cove was given its final name in builds both earlier and later than this one, it seems more likely that this level being called Twilight Harbor here is a mistake rather than the original intent.
** The level "GNASTY GNORC" is called "GNASTY PLACE".
** Gnasty's Loot is called "BOSS", just as other levels with a level ID ending in 4 do in this build.
* When entering a boss level, the loading screen reads "ENTERING BOSS" instead of "CONFRONTING BOSS".
* The requirements to travel between worlds is different in a couple places:
** Going from Magic Crafters to Beast Makers requires 7 eggs instead of 5.
** Going from Beast Makers to Dream Weavers requires 42 dragons instead of 50.
* There are a few places where the number of dragons or gems in a level differs from the final.
** The second dragon in Gnorc Gnexus isn't present yet.
** There's an extra dragon in Gnorc Cove.
** Only 381 of the 400 gems in Twilight Harbor are present. As a result, Gnasty's Loot is inaccessible under normal means.
* The maximum dragon counts in the inventory also differ from the in-game dragon counts in a few places:
** Gnorc Gnexus has 2 in the inventory, matching the final's dragon count instead of this build's 1 dragon.
** Gnorc Cove has 4 in the inventory, instead of the 3 in-game.
** Twilight Harbor claims to have 0 dragons, instead of the level's 2.
* There's no option to quit the game in the pause menu.
* The smoke Spyro emits when the superflame powerup is active is absent in this build.
* There are no story cutscenes, nor any credits sequences.
* Some levels have major lighting differences.
* Flight levels often start with a different amount of time, and the collectables will often give different amounts of additional time to the final.
* Opening the Sunny Flight portal requires stepping on the stones in a specific order, rather than any order. This sequence has no sound effects, the stones always light up when stood on if done in the right order (in the final, they only light up after you've spoken to a certain dragon in Wizard Peak), and the stones are textured differently to the final, too. The wall opening sound during this sequence is absent.
* Both Dry Canyon and Dream Weavers Home include red spring chests, which are only present in Lofty Castle in the final game.
* In the Magic Crafters home, one of the opening rooms uses grey wall textures and blue lighting instead of red wall textures and yellow lighting.
* Alpine Ridge and Wizard Peak both have gems floating in their exit vortices, a feature cut from the final.
* In High Caves, there are a handful of flags placed around the level which don't appear in the final game.
* In Wizard Peak, Spyro does the wrong entrance animation and bonks against the wall in front of him instead of gracefully landing on the floor below.
* The room with the dragon in the middle of Blowhard is missing. Instead, the dragon is on the boardwalk outside the cave.
* In Tree Tops, some of the usually stone brick textured areas are textured with a tree stump design instead.
* Wild Flight uses a totally different and much brighter skybox. The level's texture work is very incomplete and its lighting is very dull and flat, contrasting with the final's much more vibrant lighting. All of the crystals are purple instead of some of them being green, and none of them glow.
* Dream Weavers includes some extra geometry around one of the buildings that you can platform across to collect a few more gems. This leads to a gem that drops a gem spawner (thus spawning several more gems) upon collection - this is quite unusual, and there's nothing like it in any other known build of any of the original Spyro trilogy.
* There are some large holes in the geometry in Dark Passage and Haunted Towers.
* Icy Flight's texture work is very incomplete and its lighting is very dull and flat. The lighthouses have red and white stripes instead of a grey brick texture.
* Gnorc Gnexus has very flat lighting. The low LOD model appears to be almost totally grey, which makes the level look grey in the distance. The skybox is totally different.
* The opening area of Gnasty Gnorc has a reinforced crate, which is only destroyable using superflame. A superflame fairy appears in the opening to the second section of the level. Both of these are absent in the final. Spyro keeps his superflame for the rest of the level.
* In Gnasty Place, after the slithering part of the path, Spyro can either take the usual route to the end of the level, or he can jump across some additional platforms unique to this version. Additionally, around this point, Gnasty’s path also diverts from the usual route through the level. He jumps across some platforms that are in the final level but aren't usually used by him or the player.
* Gnasty Gnorc spawns the shield enemies from Dark Hollow behind him in the final section of his level.
* There's a vortex at the end of Gnasty Gnorc, which isn't usually there. Entering the vortex crashes the game due to a missing whirlwind animation. The level must be exited via the pause menu.
* Gnasty's Loot is inaccessible under normal means, due to some missing gems in Twilight Harbor. You can still enter Gnasty's Loot by either setting your gem total to 12000 using the GameShark code <code>8007184C 2EE0</code> or inputting the level select code plus ID from the list below.
* Gnasty's Loot has a lot of unfinished texture work, appearing to be partially using the textures from its block-out stage. There is no Gnasty Gnorc painting texture.
* In Gnasty's Loot, Spyro's maximum flight height depends on where you started flying, not how high you’ve been so far. This can make the level a pain to complete if you land anywhere lower than where you've just come from.
* Exiting Gnasty's Loot via the vortex will crash the game as Spyro enters the “returning home” sequence. Exiting via the pause menu works fine, though.

==Cheat codes==
The cheat codes present in this build seem to be in place mostly for testing purposes. They can be used at any time during gameplay by holding down the buttons for a few seconds at the same time. Aside from the XA playback code, the activation of which is obviously signaled by the music turning off, the successful entry of the other combinations are indicated by Spyro doing a light jump into the air whilst in a frozen idle state.
{| class="wikitable"
!Level Select
|L1 + L2 + R1 + R2
|This code activates a level select mode. After this, you can input a two-button combination corresponding to the level ID from the list below.
'''0''' = ''O'' | '''1''' = ''X'' | '''2''' = ''Square'' | '''3''' = ''Triangle'' | '''4''' = ''Right'' | '''5''' = ''Down'' | '''6''' = ''Left''

Pressing '''Up''' warps you to the next level as it appears in the inventory. Using it on the last level in the list will warp you back to level '''10'''.
|-
!Toggle active/passive camera
|L2 + R1
|Does exactly the same as the option found in the pause menu.
|-
!Toggle invincibility & timer freeze
|R1 + R2 + Circle
|Entering this code prevents Sparx from losing health whenever Spyro takes damage.
Sparx is still able to increase his health while the code is active. It will also freeze the timer in the flight levels.
|-
! Toggle XA playback
|Square + Triangle + Circle + X
|First entry deactivates the music. Re-entering the code re-enables playback. However, the first track of the STR file in use is played instead.
Pausing and unpausing the game reverts to the intended music.

A prototype of Spyro the Dragon for the Sony PlayStation, built about a month before the final build.
==Notes==
{{Tcrf link| Proto:Spyro_the_Dragon_(PlayStation)/July_11th,_1998_build}}

* This build has dongle protection, which causes a crash during start up if no dongle is detected. There are a couple ways to circumvent this:
** [https://files.hiddenpalace.org/8/8a/SPYRODONGLES.mcd This dongle file], inserted into slot 2.
** Patching the iso with [https://files.hiddenpalace.org/4/44/Spyro_the_Dragon_%28Jul_11%2C_1998_prototype%29_dongle_patch.xdelta this xdelta patch] before playing.
* Game starts up with a "temporary boot menu" instead of a title screen or any of the copyright screens.
* Attempting to delete files from a full memory card will bring up a file delete screen. Progressing into this screen will show the message "Delete Screen Is Not. Ready Yet. You Got The Shemp.".
* The soundtrack is in a completely different order compared to the final release, and only 10 tracks are present, instead of nearly every level getting an exclusive theme.
** These tracks are seemingly almost randomly assigned. The tracklist matches other builds from May through July.
** These tracks are all in stereo quality, whereas many of them were changed to mono in the final release.
** None of the secret bonus tracks are present, and the bonus track functionality isn't implemented yet.
** In the Beast Makers worlds the tracks are incorrectly given track lengths corresponding with the theme used in Stone Hill. This means that many of the tracks in these levels will loop at unusual times, for example before the track is finished.

A prototype of Spyro the Dragon for the Sony PlayStation, built about a month before the final build.
==Notes==
{{Tcrf link| Proto:Spyro_the_Dragon_(PlayStation)/July_11th,_1998_build}}

* This build has dongle protection, which causes a crash during start up if no dongle is detected. There are a couple ways to circumvent this:
** [https://files.hiddenpalace.org/8/8a/SPYRODONGLES.mcd This dongle file], inserted into slot 2.
** Patching the iso with [https://files.hiddenpalace.org/4/44/Spyro_the_Dragon_%28Jul_11%2C_1998_prototype%29_dongle_patch.xdelta this xdelta patch] before playing.
* Game starts up with a "temporary boot menu" instead of a title screen or any of the copyright screens.
* Attempting to delete files from a full memory card will bring up a file delete screen. Progressing into this screen will show the message "Delete Screen Is Not. Ready Yet. You Got The Shemp.".
* The soundtrack is in a completely different order compared to the final release, and only 10 tracks are present, instead of nearly every level getting an exclusive theme.
** These tracks are seemingly almost randomly assigned. The tracklist matches other builds from May through July.
** These tracks are all in stereo quality, whereas many of them were changed to mono in the final release.
** None of the secret bonus tracks are present, and the bonus track functionality isn't implemented yet.
** In the Beast Makers worlds the tracks are incorrectly given track lengths corresponding with the theme used in Stone Hill. This means that many of the tracks in these levels will loop at unusual times, for example before the track is finished.
* Many sound effects are missing throughout the game. Many of the sounds that are present are different, too.
* Many of the dragons have not yet received their final animations.
** Of those that have animations, a handful of them have unfinished audio - missing or changed background music, different lines, early dialogue takes, and a couple of them have incredibly slow, low pitched audio, indicating they were exported with an incorrect sample rate.
** For the first three worlds, the dragons without animations show a text screen with some dialogue instead (often differing from their cutscene dialogue), and from Beast Makers onwards, any dragon that is collected will instantly disappear. The dialogue screen is a feature entirely absent from the final game.
** Looping sounds will continue playing in the dialogue screen. For example, charging into a dragon can make the charging sound continue playing whilst the dialogue is on screen.
* There's a strange effect that happens when a cutscene dragon is collected after a non-cutscene dragon in the same level - if the counter has not been displayed on screen between the two, at the end of the cutscene it will appear to go up for each non-cutscene dragon collected as well as the cutscene one, due to the counter having not updated yet.
** This is usually not possible in other builds, but this build allows it due to there being levels that have a mix of both dragon types.
* Gem placement differs in quite a few places across the game.
* The extra life statues are gold instead of silver.
* The animation that plays upon collecting a dragon egg cannot be skipped. The same is true for key animations - locked chests and the doors in Gnasty Gnorc and Gnasty's Loot.
* The end of level vortex platform has no low-poly LOD model, so it will appear to pop into view when Spyro is a short distance away from it.
* Some level portals - such as the Toasty portal - seem to be slightly more difficult to enter, as Spyro gets caught on the collision instead of going straight through.
* The question mark doesn't appear to be in the 3D font yet, so any question marks (e.g. in the balloonists' "Are You Ready To Go?" dialogue) appear as an apostrophe instead.
* All balloonists look the same, sporting a blue outfit with a red scarf, rather than each being different as in the final.
* A number of levels have different names. Unless otherwise stated, levels in this article will be described by their final names.
** All boss levels are called "BOSS" instead of their respective names.
** All flight levels are called "FLYING" instead of their respective names.
** Alpine Ridge is called "ALPINE CLIFFS"
** Gnasty's World is called the "MACHINISTS WORLD".
** Gnorc Cove and Twilight Harbor have switched names in this version. Considering Gnorc Cove was given its final name in builds both earlier and later than this one, it seems more likely that this level being called Twilight Harbor here is a mistake rather than the original intent.
** The level "GNASTY GNORC" is called "GNASTY PLACE".
** Gnasty's Loot is called "BOSS", just as other levels with a level ID ending in 4 do in this build.
* When entering a boss level, the loading screen reads "ENTERING BOSS" instead of "CONFRONTING BOSS".
* The requirements to travel between worlds is different in a couple places:
** Going from Magic Crafters to Beast Makers requires 7 eggs instead of 5.
** Going from Beast Makers to Dream Weavers requires 42 dragons instead of 50.
* There are a few places where the number of dragons or gems in a level differs from the final.
** The second dragon in Gnorc Gnexus isn't present yet.
** There's an extra dragon in Gnorc Cove.
** Only 381 of the 400 gems in Twilight Harbor are present. As a result, Gnasty's Loot is inaccessible under normal means.
* The maximum dragon counts in the inventory also differ from the in-game dragon counts in a few places:
** Gnorc Gnexus has 2 in the inventory, matching the final's dragon count instead of this build's 1 dragon.
** Gnorc Cove has 4 in the inventory, instead of the 3 in-game.
** Twilight Harbor claims to have 0 dragons, instead of the level's 2.
* There's no option to quit the game in the pause menu.
* The smoke Spyro emits when the superflame powerup is active is absent in this build.
* There are no story cutscenes, nor any credits sequences.
* Some levels have major lighting differences.
* Flight levels often start with a different amount of time, and the collectables will often give different amounts of additional time to the final.
* Opening the Sunny Flight portal requires stepping on the stones in a specific order, rather than any order. This sequence has no sound effects, the stones always light up when stood on if done in the right order (in the final, they only light up after you've spoken to a certain dragon in Wizard Peak), and the stones are textured differently to the final, too. The wall opening sound during this sequence is absent.
* Both Dry Canyon and Dream Weavers Home include red spring chests, which are only present in Lofty Castle in the final game.
* In the Magic Crafters home, one of the opening rooms uses grey wall textures and blue lighting instead of red wall textures and yellow lighting.
* Alpine Ridge and Wizard Peak both have gems floating in their exit vortices, a feature cut from the final.
* In High Caves, there are a handful of flags placed around the level which don't appear in the final game.
* In Wizard Peak, Spyro does the wrong entrance animation and bonks against the wall in front of him instead of gracefully landing on the floor below.
* The room with the dragon in the middle of Blowhard is missing. Instead, the dragon is on the boardwalk outside the cave.
* In Tree Tops, some of the usually stone brick textured areas are textured with a tree stump design instead.
* Wild Flight uses a totally different and much brighter skybox. The level's texture work is very incomplete and its lighting is very dull and flat, contrasting with the final's much more vibrant lighting. All of the crystals are purple instead of some of them being green, and none of them glow.
* Dream Weavers includes some extra geometry around one of the buildings that you can platform across to collect a few more gems. This leads to a gem that drops a gem spawner (thus spawning several more gems) upon collection - this is quite unusual, and there's nothing like it in any other known build of any of the original Spyro trilogy.
* There are some large holes in the geometry in Dark Passage and Haunted Towers.
* Icy Flight's texture work is very incomplete and its lighting is very dull and flat. The lighthouses have red and white stripes instead of a grey brick texture.
* Gnorc Gnexus has very flat lighting. The low LOD model appears to be almost totally grey, which makes the level look grey in the distance. The skybox is totally different.
* The opening area of Gnasty Gnorc has a reinforced crate, which is only destroyable using superflame. A superflame fairy appears in the opening to the second section of the level. Both of these are absent in the final. Spyro keeps his superflame for the rest of the level.
* In Gnasty Place, after the slithering part of the path, Spyro can either take the usual route to the end of the level, or he can jump across some additional platforms unique to this version. Additionally, around this point, Gnasty’s path also diverts from the usual route through the level. He jumps across some platforms that are in the final level but aren't usually used by him or the player.
* Gnasty Gnorc spawns the shield enemies from Dark Hollow behind him in the final section of his level.
* There's a vortex at the end of Gnasty Gnorc, which isn't usually there. Entering the vortex crashes the game due to a missing whirlwind animation. The level must be exited via the pause menu.
* Gnasty's Loot is inaccessible under normal means, due to some missing gems in Twilight Harbor. You can still enter Gnasty's Loot by either setting your gem total to 12000 using the GameShark code <code>8007184C 2EE0</code> or inputting the level select code plus ID from the list below.
* Gnasty's Loot has a lot of unfinished texture work, appearing to be partially using the textures from its block-out stage. There is no Gnasty Gnorc painting texture.
* In Gnasty's Loot, Spyro's maximum flight height depends on where you started flying, not how high you’ve been so far. This can make the level a pain to complete if you land anywhere lower than where you've just come from.
* Exiting Gnasty's Loot via the vortex will crash the game as Spyro enters the “returning home” sequence. Exiting via the pause menu works fine, though.

==Cheat codes==
The cheat codes present in this build seem to be in place mostly for testing purposes. They can be used at any time during gameplay by holding down the buttons for a few seconds at the same time. Aside from the XA playback code, the activation of which is obviously signaled by the music turning off, the successful entry of the other combinations are indicated by Spyro doing a light jump into the air whilst in a frozen idle state.
{| class="wikitable"
!Level Select
|L1 + L2 + R1 + R2
|This code activates a level select mode. After this, you can input a two-button combination corresponding to the level ID from the list below.
'''0''' = ''O'' | '''1''' = ''X'' | '''2''' = ''Square'' | '''3''' = ''Triangle'' | '''4''' = ''Right'' | '''5''' = ''Down'' | '''6''' = ''Left''
Pressing '''Up''' warps you to the next level as it appears in the inventory. Using it on the last level in the list will warp you back to level '''10'''.
|-
!Toggle active/passive camera
|L2 + R1
|Does exactly the same as the option found in the pause menu.
|-
!Toggle invincibility & timer freeze
|R1 + R2 + Circle
|Entering this code prevents Sparx from losing health whenever Spyro takes damage.
Sparx is still able to increase his health while the code is active. It will also freeze the timer in the flight levels.
|-
! Toggle XA playback
|Square + Triangle + Circle + X
|First entry deactivates the music. Re-entering the code re-enables playback. However, the first track of the STR file in use is played instead.
Pausing and unpausing the game reverts to the intended music.

A prototype of '''Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage!''' (also known as '''Spyro 2: Gateway to Glimmer''' in Europe) for the Sony PlayStation.

==Notes==
* Build dates to around two and a half months before the final game.
* The build has dongle protection that crashes the game before it reaches gameplay. It can be circumvented using [https://files.hiddenpalace.org/8/8a/SPYRODONGLES.mcd this dongle file], inserted into slot 2.
* All levels are present except for Ripto's Arena. A very early version of Dragon Shores is present, but this only features an early version of the trolley coaster.
* Game starts with a logo screen and then boots straight into gameplay.
* Spyro's rolling ability from Spyro 1 is still present.
* The gems shown in the HUD equals the amount collected for the current level like Spyro 1 and early builds of Spyro 3, rather than the total.
* All of the text is written in capitals.
* Much of the audio dialogue is missing, and a lot of the audio dialogue that is present use earlier dialogue takes. Very frequently, the text dialogue differs dramatically from what is present in the audio.
** In Glimmer, some of this audio dialogue refers to the portal as a "platform", a leftover from an earlier stage of development where the exit platforms from Spyro 1 were still in use.
* Story cutscenes are not present, but some level entry cutscenes are, often with unfinished audio.
* The dialogue and music are in separate STRs, differing from both Spyro 1 (no dialogue, just music STRs) and Spyro 2/3 (everything in one STR).
* Most of the music used throughout the game is from Spyro 1 - the first STR used in the PAL version of Spyro 1 is present in this build.
* There are two STRs labelled "SPYRO_1" and "SPYRO_2" which include a handful of early mixes of Spyro 2's music. There are many copies of the Hurricos theme in here.
* For ''most'' levels, music track is determined by the level ID modulo 10. As no levels have an ID of 7 modulo 10, the Sunny Flight track goes unused.
* In ''SPYRO_1.STR'':
** '''Skelos Badlands''' - lava lizards minigame theme 1
** '''Sunny Beach''' - unused minigame theme 2
** '''Sunny Beach''' - unused minigame theme 1
** '''Skelos Badlands''' - lava lizards minigame theme 2
** '''Crystal Glacier''' - early theme
** '''Hurricos''' - unused minigame theme
** '''Skelos Badlands''' - early theme
** '''Aquaria Towers'''
* In ''SPYRO_2.STR'':
** '''Sunny Beach''' - early theme
** 7 copies of '''Hurricos'''
* Several levels use themes from Spyro 2 instead of leftover Spyro 1 themes:
** Hurricos (albeit not the minigame theme)
** Sunny Beach (albeit not the minigame themes)
** Aquaria Towers
** Skelos Badlands (albeit not the minigame themes)
** The one level that has an implemented Spyro 2 theme which does not use it is Crystal Glacier.
* Mixing on all of the tracks seems to be worse than the final's.
* Themes from Spyro 2 can be heard in the levels' intro cutscenes.
* The Guidebook has a very basic appearance. The pause menu is still themed after the Guidebook's design, but is a totally different colour.
* Zoe is called "Sparkle". When she zaps you in Glimmer to explain the checkpoint system, every subsequent time that instance of her zaps you, she'll repeat this dialogue.
* Glimmer and Shady Oasis have slightly differently coloured textures. Large parts of Winter Tundra and Metropolis use placeholder block-out textures.
* Gulp's Overlook is missing its roof.
* Some levels' intro and outro cutscenes use a dev recording of the Elora intro to Hurricos heard in the August build. This dev recording is also used in Mystic Marsh in the aforementioned build.
* Several of the portals in Winter Tundra cannot be entered, and some don't even appear to have a portal skybox.
** Moneybags explicitly tells the player that the level is under construction and "should be ready by November".
* The Professor has some hopefully unused lines of dialogue in Zephyr and Mystic Marsh:
<pre>
DO NOT FUCK WITH THIS MESSAGE!
</pre>
* Metropolis includes an enemy styled after a raccoon in a trash can. This enemy appears in the "Faunas Mortas" section of the epilogue in the final game under the scientific nomenclature "Varmintum".
* Music doesn't start properly in homeworlds and boss levels. The music can be restarted by talking to an NPC or pausing and unpausing.
* The NPCs in Hurricos play a strange sound effect when speaking to them.

=== Accessing Levels===
Several of the levels in Winter Tundra cannot be accessed via normal means, and there's no cheat code to enter them. You can enter these levels by entering a portal or quitting a level whilst 80068430 is frozen to the level ID of the level you want to enter. Alternatively, this can be done by entering a portal whilst using a GameShark code set to set the value on frame end:

{| class="wikitable"
!Level
!ID
!GameShark Code
|-
|Cloud Temples
|52
|<code>80068430 0034</code>
|-
|Canyon Speedway
|55
|<code>80068430 0037</code>
|-
|Robotica Farms
|61
|<code>80068430 003D</code>
|-
|Metropolis
|62
|<code>80068430 003E</code>
|-
|Dragon Shores
|65
|<code>80068430 0041</code>
|}

=== Cheat Codes ===
A number of cheats are present in this version that differ dramatically from the final game and generally exhibit more debug / QA-like features. All of these can be enabled by inputting the following codes in pause menu. A successful entry is signaled by a sound effect.
{| class="wikitable"
!All abilities

* In ''SPYRO_2.STR'':
** '''Sunny Beach''' - early theme
** 7 copies of '''Hurricos'''
* Mixing on all of the tracks seems to be worse than the final's.
* Themes from Spyro 2 can be heard in the levels' intro cutscenes.
* The Guidebook has a very basic appearance. The pause menu is still themed after the Guidebook's design, but is a totally different colour.
* Zoe is called "Sparkle". When she zaps you in Glimmer to explain the checkpoint system, every subsequent time that instance of her zaps you, she'll repeat this dialogue.
* Glimmer and Shady Oasis have slightly differently coloured textures. Large parts of Winter Tundra and Metropolis use placeholder block-out textures.
* Gulp's Overlook is missing its roof.
* Some levels' intro and outro cutscenes use a dev recording of the Elora intro to Hurricos heard in the August build. This dev recording is also used in Mystic Marsh in the aforementioned build.
* Several of the portals in Winter Tundra cannot be entered, and some don't even appear to have a portal skybox.
** Moneybags explicitly tells the player that the level is under construction and "should be ready by November".
* The Professor has some hopefully unused lines of dialogue in Zephyr and Mystic Marsh:
<pre>
DO NOT FUCK WITH THIS MESSAGE!
</pre>
* Metropolis includes an enemy styled after a raccoon in a trash can. This enemy appears in the "Faunas Mortas" section of the epilogue in the final game under the scientific nomenclature "Varmintum".

=== Cheat Codes ===
A number of cheats are present in this version that differ dramatically from the final game and generally exhibit more debug / QA-like features. All of these can be enabled by inputting the following codes in pause menu. A successful entry is signaled by a sound effect.

==Notes==

* The only two levels seen in these screenshots are Canada and Los Angeles.
* The special meter uses a different font.
* The metadata suggests these images have been shot around mid-April of 2001.

==== Los Angeles ====

* The movie theater marquee text has been changed specifically for these shots. "Rear Admiral" is now "starring the EGM crew".
* The ice cream truck known from Suburbia is seen riding around here as well.
* The Los Angeles Public Library has a big sign with it's name above the entrance.
* The fountain has a sculpture that is modeled after the real one at City National Plaza.
* The City National Bank building seemingly cannot be entered.

==== Canada ====

* The "Welcome To Canada" banner has different colors.
* The bulldozer below the banner is yellow.
* ''thps3_egm_a.bmp'' seems to be from a different build compared to the other Canada screenshots, due to the different iteration of the banner. Also a big loop can seen in the distance, that would later be removed.

A localization prototype of '''Spyro the Dragon''' for the Sony PlayStation from after the final NTSC-U build but before the final PAL build.

==History==
Originally released on various ROM sites by an unknown source in around 2007, it slipped under people's radars due to the assumption that it was simply a buggy copy of the final game, resulting in the build being lost for several years afterwards. After later being recovered by '''iniche''', the prototype was publicly re-released by [[hwd45]] on March 21, 2020.

The initial release had a number of sector errors in the file data for two of the .STR soundtrack files, causing unpleasant audio glitches during gameplay. This was fixed manually using the files from the final game and was used to create [https://mega.nz/file/ZawmjAiJ#sPa9Iyc_aHJ5xd2-7mUwzZFIVSC7xWb60vcBG51kYHg an xdelta file] for patching the game.

In 2026 a new dump of the build was provided by '''March42''', confirming that it originated from a SCEE PlayStation Review Version disc. This dump had a single sector error in a sector that did not have an error in the original dump, so the dump uploaded here uses the corrected sector header from the original dump. Whether this error is a deliberate watermark or a disc read error is currently unclear.

For the curious, an .xdelta files for recovering each of the original dumps (labeled <code>old-dumps/dump1.xdelta</code> and <code>old-dumps/dump2.xdelta</code>) are included in the release package.

==Notes==
{{Tcrf link| Proto:Spyro_the_Dragon_(PlayStation)/August_27th,_1998_build}}

* According to the primary volume data, this version was built August 27th 1998. This version is a localization prototype; it was built after the final NTSC-U release of the game but before the final PAL build.
* Several of the dragons in Ice Cavern are inexplicably invisible during their cutscenes, due to their textures being entirely transparent.
* Many of the translations are still incomplete and some non-English level names are named differently to the final.
** Accents are not yet displayed correctly on level names outside portals.
** Some languages have typos and minor grammatical errors. In particular, "DEUTSCH" is spelled as "DEUTCH" on the title screen.
* A number of the minor changes made between the NTSC-U and PAL final builds are yet to be implemented. For example, the gem placement in Metalhead matches the NTSC-U release version, while the dragon textures (which changed in a number of places) match the PAL final version.
* For some reason, Gnasty Gnorc reuses an early design seen in the [[Spyro the Dragon (Jun 15, 1998 prototype)|June 15th Prototype]] as well as unfinished animations, despite being fully complete and present in the NTSC-U final build. Presumably, the finalized version of the character had not been re-exported to 25 FPS prior to this build.

===Magazine Appearance===
[[File:Spyro-Aug27-VideoGamesDE.png|right|120px]]

This review build was used by many European magazines, but notably, the German "Video Games" magazine displayed an image of the disc and described some issues they identified.

Translation provided by Vindico:

<pre>
REVIEW VERSION

Since you (and the industry) usually doesn't want to read reviews for games around two months after release, there are so-called Review Versions. Basically finished, yet not quite. In Spyro's case this fact was noticeable with this...
</pre>

The two pictures show the aforementioned "DEUTCH" misspelling of "DEUTSCH", as well as a line that is supposed to translate to "SAVE GAME". "SPIEL SPEICHERN" got an extra "R" and became "SPIEL SPREICHERN".

===Cheat codes===
The majority of the cheat codes in this build match other versions of the game, but exclusive to this one is a level select code which isn't present in either of the other final builds.

Enter the following codes in the game's inventory screen. A chime confirms a successful entry.

An unreleased revision of '''Tony Hawk's Underground 2: Remix''' for the Sony PlayStation Portable.

Dated two days after the US release version and around three and a half months before the final EU builds. This build was used as a padding file in the PS2 version of "Shrek SuperSlam", another game with Shaba Games' involvement. Though the file is truncated after the first 885MB, the missing files found in both the build before and after this one match completely.

Thus, the version included as a download is a repaired image file with all missing sectors appended. It is playable in PPSSPP but needs some additional configuration to be playable on hardware. Navigate to the CFW settings and set the game boot to be executed from BOOT.BIN.
==Notes==
'''General Changes'''

*This build features several lines of additional code made to memcard scripts regarding save/load functionality, which happen to fix an important issue present in the original release version. A bug that crashes the game, whenever the game tries to access the memory stick, outside of the original PSP hardware.
*The camera in both the player select menu as well as Create-A-Skater has been pointed upwards, making the skater's whole face visible.

'''Level Specific Changes'''

''Santa Cruz''

*When finishing the "Launch the boat" goal in Santa Cruz, a cutscene plays where the boat pilots off away from the pier and unfurls a net. When re-entering the level, the boat would remain in that state. The skater, however, can still grind the wires to launch the boat yet again, resulting in a cutscene where the boat steers off and clips into the one already in place. This revision fixes that, by reverting the boat into it's original state when re-entering the level.
*The "Power Up" goal text has been changed slightly, from ["Sticker slap switch to start pirate ship moving."] to ["Sticker slap the power boxes to start the pirate ship moving."].

''Atlanta''

*The unlock flags for both the "DJ" and "Southern Belle" skaters have been added into their "Skater found" scripts in Atlanta. In the release version they were missing and therefore the two skaters could not be unlocked through traditional methods.

''Australia''

*The Beaverhausen costume now shows up on your created skater in the final Australia mission.
*In the same mission, the construction workers in the initial release build are mistakenly in a burnt state from the start. This revision fixes this issue.

An unreleased revision of '''Tony Hawk's Underground 2''' for the Sony PlayStation 2.

Dated around two and a half weeks after the last publicly available release build. This build was used as an online preview for news outlets to get a look at the game before it hit the stores in October.
==Notes==
===Demo Mode===
This game is locked behind a demo mode. However, other than with pre-release versions of the game, most of the game functionalities are available with a slight few restrictions in the game's options menu and the game skipping the entire training sequence in the Warehouse when entering Story mode. Also, the game refuses to acknowledge you earning enough goal points in Barcelona to take you to the next level. Therefore Boston and Barcelona are the only playable levels. Use the xdelta patch inside the download to restore the game to it's full version.
===General Differences===

*This build fixes some incorrect song titles in the options menu found in the release version.
*A bug present in the release version, where under certain circumstances saving the game in levels such as Australia and New Orleans will corrupt the file on the memory card, has been fixed in this revision.

==='''Cheat Codes'''===
The codes found in this revision build match the ones in the release version. They are to be entered in the main options menu, provided the game is unlocked from it's demo mode.

An unreleased revision of '''Tony Hawk's Underground 2''' for the Sony PlayStation 2.

Dated around two and a half weeks after the last publicly available release build. This build was used as an online preview for news outlets to get a look at the game before it hit the stores in October.
==Notes==
===Demo Mode===
This game is locked behind a demo mode. However, other than with pre-release versions of the game, most of the game functionalities are available with a slight few restrictions in the game's options menu and the game skipping the entire training sequence in the Warehouse when entering Story mode. Also, the game refuses to acknowledge you earning enough goal points in Barcelona to take you to the next level. Therefore Boston and Barcelona are the only playable levels. Use the xdelta patch inside the download to restore the game to it's full version.
===General Differences===

*This build fixes some incorrect song titles in the options menu found in the release version.

=== '''Cheat Codes''' ===
The codes are to be entered in the options menu, provided the game is unlocked from it's demo mode.

An intermediate build of '''Tony Hawk's Project 8''' for the Sony Playstation Portable.

Dated four months after the US release version but less than a month before the final EU builds.

==Notes==

*The build is very close to the final EU builds. For example, the lower hole inside the big sculpture in the Mall level is already closed off with invisible collision, as it would be in the final version.

A preview of '''Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3''' for the Sony PlayStation 2, dated around two and a half months before the final build.
==Notes==

===General===

*There are no FMV's in this build. This means that the gameplay demos that would play in the main menu after a few moments of inactivity don't play as well.
*The main menu uses a different version of the "Gangsta" track.
*Instead of Rastapopolous, a generic pedestrian appears as the skate shop owner.
*Only ''Career'', ''Single Session'', ''Free Skate'' and ''Create-A-Skater'' are selectable.
**In the main menu, ''Tutorials'' is located between ''Network Play'' and ''Create-A-Skater'' instead of between ''Park Editor'' and ''Options'' in the final version.
*Some skater's appearances are different from the final.
**Most notably Geoff Rowley.
**Some skaters only have default and/or placeholder boards to choose from.
*A few extra skate brands not featured in the final version appear in this build, including ''Flip'' and ''Vans''.
*A lot of the game's sound effects are at inconsistent pitches.
**The pitch of the special trick orchestral hit sound is a semitone too high. Unlike the final version where it is too low.
*A lot of the game's text is written in all caps.
**Notably the entire ''Create-A-Skater'' mode and "Score''"'' in the HUD.
**The spin counter in the trick string is colored red.

''- Career:''

*The skater select screen does not show either the number of goals completed, medals obtained or decks collected.
*Pressing '''Square''' or '''Circle''' in the level select flips the tape over and shows the level goals. A feature that has been removed from the final.
*Some of the goals would be changed and/or simplified in the final version.

===Levels===

*There are only four levels in this build: ''Canada'', ''Suburbia'', ''Los Angeles'' and ''Tokyo''.
*Instead of unique level loading screens, this build uses the boot loading screen as a placeholder.

''- Los Angeles:''

*The fountain is unnaturally bright.
*The guy screaming for help when getting close to the lone car stuck on the ledge of the overpass after triggering the earthquake, uses placeholder dialogue with less than stellar voice acting known in the files as "''kenhelp"'' (possibly referring to Neversoft developer Kendall Harrison).
*In addition to grinding the car mentioned above to complete the "Stop The Thieves" goal, the large green street sign has to be grinded as well to drop it onto the van.

''- Tokyo:''

*A lot of signs are different from the final.
*The ambience SFX is very unbalanced and can get irritating at times. Also, the sound levels of the audience cannot be changed in the pause menu.
*The secret area can be accessed by wall riding the big round "門" sign, instead of grind-cutting the wires holding it like in the final.
**The entrance to that area is untextured.

===Controls===

*Activating the free camera feature works a bit different in this version. Press both '''Select''' + '''X''' during gameplay ''(twice to toggle HUD off).'' Use '''R1'''/'''R2''' for ''pitch'', the left analog stick for ''axis'' and the right stick to move around. Unlike the final build, you can actually exit this mode with the same button combination.
*Pressing '''R1'''+'''SELECT''' changes the camera perspective, unlike every other version of the game where '''SELECT''' alone is sufficient.
*Only a bare minimum of the trick assignment option has been implemented and is not functioning. However, all skaters are assigned all special tricks with combinations primarily using the '''Square''' button.
