*Just before the end of the video, you can see that the part after the video starts to fade to black was very different. In addition, the positions of some blocks and spikes looked a little messier in the final level.
==Previews==
*In the first image, there is a slope on the left that was slightly modified before it was added to the game. In the game, it no longer has the vertical line splitting it into two. This vertical line, however, is still seen in the invisible variant of the slope.
