== | ==Soundtrack== | ||
The music in ''Tonic Trouble'' was composed by [[Éric Chevalier]] who also composed the soundtrack for ''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. | The music in ''Tonic Trouble'' was composed by [[Éric Chevalier]] who also composed the soundtrack for ''Rayman 2''.

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''. | 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 | ==Beta version== | ||
Early in 1999, a beta version of ''Tonic Trouble'' called "''Tonic Trouble Special Edition''" was released with some computers. The game is very different to its final counterparts on the PC and Nintendo 64, featuring different level designs and, in some cases, music. Ed controls very 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. | Early in 1999, a beta version of ''Tonic Trouble'' called "''Tonic Trouble Special Edition''" was released with some computers.
