A prototype of Croc 2 for the PlayStation.
Differences (from final)
Levels:
- Swap Meet Pete's General Store: if you press LEFT while on the Heart Container, or RIGHT while on the Clockwork Gobbo, Croc will rotate and the door behind you becomes selected. When all dialog is finished, you can press X to exit. However, pressing TRIANGLE while no dialog is active also instantly exists, just like in the final. The door is removed in the final: pressing LEFT or RIGHT doesn't loop around.
- Find 3 Lost Treasure Chests: in the final, this is titled "Find 5 Lost Treasure Chests". Despite the loading-screen in this beta asking for 3, there is actually 5 chests in the stage itself, just like in the final.
- Find the Wheels in the Mine: in this beta, it's possible to get 101 of 100 crystals in this stage.
- Caveman Tribe - Secret Mine: (1) near the start of the stage, the track loops right and there is a crystal you quickly have to press RIGHT to collect before pressing LEFT again to avoid falling off the broken track. Each time you die, this one crystal returns. (2) It is not possible to collect all crystals in this stage, as at-least a few of them are misplaced on the tracks and Croc will not collect them while riding over them. (3) One section of track leads into a room containing a heart; if you run-around between the end-of-the-track and the bone-styled buffer, it's possible to fall through the floor.
- Save 25 Gobbo babies! while the loading-screen refers to 25, the stage itself, just as in the final, contains 30 babies.
Sound-effects:
- The sound played when picking up a crystal often corrupts, or cuts-off early, especially when collecting many quickly
- No sound-effect plays when picking-up a Heart Container
- When riding a mine-kart, some stages lack the sound-effects for jumping, and crashing/falling-off the track (notably the Caveman Tribe - Secret Mine stage)
- During any of the "race" stages, Croc doesn't give a "Yay" or "Wahoo" when winning
