Simon Wai prototype	Beta 4

• Act 2 doesn't seem like much of a cave in the Simon Wai prototype. There are huge gaps in the ceiling that were filled up in the final version.
• Don't think they've stopped removing quarter pipes yet, no sir no ma'am.

Simon Wai prototype	Beta 4

• Ceiling added.
• Quarter pipes deleted.
• Mmmhmm.

Simon Wai prototype	Beta 4

• There's an entire path at the top of the level that was deleted in later layouts! No objects in the act, so it's hard to tell how this path would have played out.

Simon Wai prototype	Beta 4

• More of the deleted upper path. Those two pits would presumably be filled with spikes, and maybe a spring if the developers were feeling generous.
• There are two rings way up in the ceiling of the later layouts, evidence that the upper path was worked on at least a bit after this prototype.

Simon Wai prototype	Beta 4

• The deleted upper path continues. That's a whole lot of nothing in the middle part - there would probably be a few swinging platforms there.
• More evidence of the path being developed; Three rings that would have been placed above the rightmost platform.

Simon Wai prototype	Beta 4

• The upper path ends here, but the ceiling filling continues. The sloped formation of rings seen in the later layouts would presumably be collected from a swinging platform.

• In the lower half of the stage, one of the small spike pits is using incorrect blocks in the Simon Wai layout.

Simon Wai prototype	Beta 4

• Quarter pipes? Not in my stage layout.

Simon Wai prototype	Beta 4

• Hey, layout changes that aren't just quarter pipe related! Not entirely quarter pipe related, anyway. Those still changed.
• The upper path extends the ceiling more to the left and adds a thin strip of floor below that ceiling.
• The rock formation on the far left drops down further in later versions of the act.
• At the spot where the two paths intersect, the ceiling above no longer droops down and to the right.

Simon Wai prototype	Beta 4

• Because Drill Eggman II was designed to drill up into the ceiling, the open space in the Simon Wai layout had to be filled in. Whoever did that got a little overzealous, because one of the ceiling blocks was replaced with an incorrect design.
