Notes

  • Built a little over a week before the final builds.
  • PAL build.
  • The index.htm file for the homepage uses a table border width of 580 and a heigh of 300 in the prototype. In the final, it uses a width of 520 and a height of 260.
  • The texture file for the Dark Chao Garden (AL_STG_DARK_TEX.PRS) was altered slightly.
  • The texture file for the CONGRATULATIONS graphic (CONGRATULATIONS.PRS) is a higher resolution in the prototype.
  • The .PRS file containing the strings for the Japanese VMU warnings (MCWARN_J.PRS) is slightly different.
  • Omochao's hints in the first Eggman vs. Tails boss battle are slightly different in every language (MH0029*.PRS).
  • Omochao's hints in the final Sonic vs. Shadow boss are slightly different in every language (MH0042*.PRS). For instance, the prototype outright tells you that the best moment to attack is when your opponents stops. In the final, Omochao only tells you to try lowering your opponent's defenses. In the prototype, Omochao also doesn't tell you how to dodge your opponent's attacks.
  • Omochao's hints in the Biolizard boss fight are slightly different in the Japanese text file (MH0055J.PRS).
  • The majority of the VMU PRS files are different.
