In an early prototype build, the Dark Future segment of the game was slightly different. There was also a "cyborg dolphin" boss that was removed from the final release. It was said to be a mini-boss that also had a machine that would drop canisters that would break upon landing. The machine, having not been finished at the time of the prototype yet, uses a crab for a placeholder.
