CSG '91
Early footage of the game from a (just uploaded) CSG promo tape. [1]
- The title screen doesn't animate. The copyright date says 1991 instead of 1992.
- The HUD looks different. The lives counter is in the top-right instead of bottom-left. There's a big "SC" denoting the score.
Master HigginsTakahashi Meijin looks different -- at least his head does. He's cross-eyed in the footage. The skateboarding sprite in particular looks pretty rough.

- And further observations via Scott C on the Discord:
- There are also smaller sprites for the bananas and scrapped cake and apple fruits. R1-2 (the one with the waterfalls, I'm assuming) has smaller moving platformers made of stone instead of grass and soil. The stone terrain looks brown instead of grey like the final.
- Also yes, his head is very different. His mouth is open and he looks overall angrier than the final.
- I've also just noticed that he skids whenever he turns on the ground. In the final, his momentum resets and thus doesn't skid (except on ice and sometimes on moving platforms).

- Also it seems the same (or similar) build was featured in issue 146 of Weekly Famitsu. --Rabidabid (talk) 00:33, 16 January 2021 (UTC)
