Question

Do lives Max out on 9?

[GarlandTheGreat]

@arciks11 Yep.

[ZidaneTribal93]

Wow, Garland mastered the crate bridges.

[GarlandTheGreat]

@ZidaneTribal93 The sideways ones are easy.

[TimeBreaker1987]

You must be the box jumping champion ._.

[esotericagenda]

@TimeBreaker1987 It's definitely a lot easier when you have the side view though.

[cardenw]

reminds me of the harmless troll nitro steps in CB2 lawl, the ones that teleport you to a secret area

[debit13]

@cardenw I remember playing Bee-Having as a child when I was 8 or 9 (and I'm almost 21 now, oh my god) and on my first pass through the level ever, I sat there for a few minutes waiting for the Nitro boxes to do their little hopping. When I noticed that the jumping wasn't happening, I decided to risk an Aku Aku mask to see what would happen.

Best decision ever :D

[cardenw]

@debit13 lawl yup, curiousity led me to find all of CB2's secret areas :) naughty dog and insomniac are the bawses at hiding secret content c:

[decceko]

Wow, I really like this version better.

[Torgeytits]

What's the point of this prototype thing anyway? Was it like a beta for CR1 or what?

[DucaStone88]

POW= Nitro prototype

[holviva]

When Naughty Dog developed the game they made the levels in reverse order (i.e they started with the last levels all the way to the first), so there's probably more differences with the later levels.

[6thhokagephil]

I'm gonna assume that future levels will have more changes, since this is the first with noticeable changes, this might mean this was the start of levels that weren't completely finished.

[CTRPolar]

@6thhokagephil Just imagine Sunset Vista and the removed level xD

[TimeBreaker1987]

@6thhokagephil The levels weren't created in the order they appear though, the developers had some prototypes of level templates and reused them here and there.

[arciks11]

Maybe Pow Boxes were an early idea of Nitro boxes?

Time to get the ps2 back out..
