Notes

The Cutting Room Floor research This prototype has a research article on TCRF.

The game begins at startup on a level select screen that operates the same as the level select screen in the final.

The ROM's internal header refers to it as The Jungle Book.

Differences

A lot of levels have enemies either missing from the final or incomplete pencil tests.

The level music for Level 2 "The Desert" is a completely different tune that was cut from the final. It's based on a track from Jungle Book.

Aladdin's lives icon looks different.

The "Inside the Lamp" level is completely different from the final. Instead of going all the way to the right of the level, the player instead has to reach the very top by riding on Genie bowling balls and jumping on springs. A lot of graphics appear that are not in the final iteration of the level.

The final level uses a different background.
