Prerelease Info

Unused Sprites

Ripto has several sprites that go unused.

A couple of early Ripto statues.

Ripto attacking from five different angles, seemingly from a much earlier version of the game. The retail release has a different cape colour, whereas this one matches his cape from the other games.

A comparison of this Ripto versus the one in the final:

Used	Unused

Last but not least, these probably early sprites labelled DON'T USE.

Unused Map

The map with the ID 23 is not included in the game data and thus goes unused. The name shows that it was another section of "Yeti Serengeti - Frontier Region".

Unused Text
