The game will crash if you try to load into a memory card containing a save game from the final build.Instead of the Vandals' song 'Euro-Barge', a track from their latest album at that time, this build uses an older song of theirs called 'Change My Pants (I Don't Wanna)'.The run ends whether a combo is finished or not.While some special tricks are implemented, they're not registered as such.The trick string has no fail animation and blends in with the score display if a third line appears.The skater glows when you fill up the special bar.Many goal items have different placements and are much harder to obtain.Instead of a static level loading screen, you can scroll between tape challenges.The Level Select menu uses mostly different preview images.Though every board in the Equipment Select menu is accessible, most decks will just have a placeholder image in-game.The options menu as well as the in-game 'Sound Levels' menu hasn't been implemented, meaning there is no way to adjust audio levels or change the music.An additional multiplayer game called 'Hoops' was cut from the final.An earlier, unused version of the Neversoft intro is used, using the first eight seconds of 'Inflated Head' from Earthworm Jim 2 (1995).Aside from the Activision and Neversoft intro videos, there are no FMV's in this build.
