Back to: Chaotix (prototype 1207)/Comparisons.

Marina Madness is the least presentable stage in the 1207 prototype, because its main gimmick, the riding of boats in the background, is missing in most of the levels.

The background doesn't load in properly until the title cards disappear.

The morning and day palettes are different in the 1207 prototype, with the final making a greater distinction between the two. The 1207 prototype's morning palette is actually a close match for the final's day.

Like other areas of the game, secret passageways are hidden by objects, which turn semi-transparent when passed through. They're missing in the final game, possibly for performance reasons.

There are extra clouds in the background of the 1207 prototype, though some of colours look strange in certain times of the day. They would be completely removed by the final game.

Unlike the final game, Marina Madness has (limited) parallax scrolling in its background. It doesn't draw properly if the camera is positioned too far to the right of the playfield. It's more obvious at certain times of day.

Level 1

Final game

There are two types of boat in Marina Madness; those which bob up and down as glorified moving platforms, and those which are static until a switch is pressed. The 1207 prototype has difficulties with the latter; these boats will bob until the player gets close, at which point they will snap into place. As jumping or falling through the floor extends the distance between the two objects, this means the boat movement can be erratic.

In addition, most of these second types of boat have no switches, meaning in order to get past, you have to exploit the collision issues and fall through them.

Finish this level and the camera pans upwards, settling on a position that sees the players drawn off-screen.

A lack of boat switches becomes a problem in level 4. It means you can't get out of this initial section through normal means.

Level 5 does have working boat switches! They look a bit different to the final game though.
