Looks like there was still some work to be done with this final "level" so to speak.

Only a couple of portions seemed to have been finished. The main hub, aquatic, and Shy Guy exhibits don't exist yet and load into the debug level select when accessed. Ironically, the main hub's absence makes accessing the hidden menu way easier! Just hack the pointer over to the Album option and once you select it, instant level debug menu!

For the rooms that do exist in the demo, probably the most obvious is the fact that everything can still hurt you. This was changed for obvious reasons and caused some changes in layout for some of the enemies on display (Ex: Bungee Piranha). Aren't exhibits supposed to NOT hurt onlookers after all?

The biggest change though is in the Giant Enemy exhibit. Looks like the bosses were going to be on display at one point! While another video showed them off in the final version after they were reinserted into the data, now we can see them without any external hacking! The Japanese apparently just spells out the names of each boss, although there's a symbol for "temporary" next to Six-Face Sal's name that I can't unsee. The early Giant Enemy room along with Gilbert the Gooey's display are still referenced in the final version, but their files have been emptied out at that point.
