Tonic Trouble: Difference between revisions

==Gameplay==

The game sticks very closely to the formula found in the first ''Rayman''. Much like in ''Rayman'', Ed starts off defenseless and acquires new weapons and powerups throughout the game. Also, each stage includes 6 objects that Ed must collect in order to properly complete it. The main difference between the two games is that ''Tonic Trouble'' is in 3d, and some stages in the game focus more on puzzle solving than platforming. In addition to the 6 objects in each stage, Ed must also collect 120 antidotes hidden throughout the levels and Southern Plains hub map in order to access the ~~Mad~~ Mushrooms Lair late in the game (akin to needing all of the [[Electoons]] to enter [[Candy Château]] in ''Rayman'').

==Beta Version==

Early in 1999 a beta version of Tonic Trouble title "Tonic Trouble Special Edition" was released with some computers. The game is barely the same to its final counterparts on the PC and Nintendo 64 featuring different level designs and in some cases music. Ed controls much differently and feels heavier due to a less precise jump and tank-like controls. Unlike in the final PC version, there are no subtitles and some characters have different voice actors. The beta version also has different names for some of the stages, and features a world map that can be brought up to check the player's progress on the collectibles in each stage.

===Unique Enemies===

These enemies do not appear in the final version of the game.

====Trigger Happy Henchman====

This henchman is the first one you find in the Canyon. He will repeatedly spray a shower of bullets in Ed's direction, and ocassionaly take a short break from firing. Takes three hits from the stick or one hit from the blowdart pipe to be defeated.

====Flamethrower Henchman====

This henchman can be found in the Canyon guarding a full health powerup. While flying with his propeller hat he does not try to harm Ed, but when he lands he'll fire a long stream of fire in Ed's general direction. Takes three hits from the stick or one hit from the blowdart pipe to be defeated.

====Mushroom Caps====

These UFO-like mushroom caps hover over long stretches of lava in the Canyon. If they spot head they will fly to whereever he was standing when spotted and explode. If Ed moves out of the way while a mushroom cap is flying towards him, he can evade the attack. Mushroom Caps cannot be harmed.

====The Grape====

The Grape appears during the end credits of the beta version of Tonic Trouble. It can be seen rearranging itself into various shapes such as a tank or a cube. One of of the Grape's grapes has a heart on it. It is currently unknown if this enemy actually shows up in a stage of the beta version.
