'''''Tonic Trouble''''' is a game that was developed by [[UbiSoft]] Montréal, initially to test the 3D engines used by ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]''. It is notable for featuring limbless characters akin to the earlier ''[[Rayman]]'' games although it is actually set on Earth; in fact, one of these characters appears as a cameo at a very late point in ''Rayman 2'', along with a Rayman cameo in Tonic Trouble's end credits. It was released for the Nintendo 64, PC and Game Boy Color (only in Europe) in 1999.

==Music==

The music in ''Tonic Trouble'' was composed by [[Éric Chevalier]] who also ~~did~~ the soundtrack to ''Rayman 2''. The soundtrack is very eclectic and experimental in nature. In one portion of the game bagpipes, a rhythm guitar, a beat boxer and a synthesizer can be heard at the same time. The music was intended to be interactive and would change depending on the mood Ed was feeling in each room, but in the final version of the PC game each track is a long suite of sorts.

Ed also has his own short jingle "theme" that can be heard in some of the tracks that sounds almost like the inverse of Rayman's theme from Rayman 2.

==Beta Version==

Early in 1999, a beta version of Tonic Trouble called "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.

====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.
