Can't be found in the retail game. Right near the end of this video you can see a lives counter pop up. You had a set number of lives at one point. It was presumably removed because the game's target audience is children and it was too hard.

This is the second video in a series describing my research and speculation about Monsters, Inc.'s development history.
This video will go over and theorize about the game's main characters and the design changes they underwent.
Part 2B will go over the others (Roz, CDA, etc) and will hopefully be shorter than this one . . .

For the longest time I didn't realize this game uses low-poly versions of the character meshes for shadows. It's a neat technique and it works well. With that being said, each of the characters' shadows have the exact same skeleton and animations, so you can replace the main meshes with the shadows. As you can see, Sulley's shadow scale isn't exactly "there" but he's otherwise fine. Obviously no morph-targets are on this mesh (for mouth and eye movements)!

This can be found in the final version's files. The file-date indicates this was made on November 16th, 2001 (which pre-dates the final build by a little under 3 months).
From what I can tell, this video was meant to play and a game-over screen would show up. In my remake this video + the game-over screen will return!

One thing which has always perplexed me about the goat in the Himalayas level is one of the in-game hints seems to, well, hint that they could jump / bounce on the spring / bouncy objects.
My theory is, since there's at least 3 goats who can run into trees in the level and there's a few bouncy platforms placed near trees, the goat would jump on the platforms and then into the trees, where either lives or coins would drop. In my version this'll happen.

You can beat this level in less than 20 seconds if you do this :)

67 total lines. I haven't cared to play the game enough to check which are used and unused, but I'd wager that, at most, 20 are used in the actual game.

The game is now 20 years old! To commemorate this special occasion, I present this video to you all.
I'm sorry for the sheer lack of activity / uploads lately... Things haven't been easy lately. Progress will pick back up I think, so expect more frequent uploads from me!
Also: Give me any ideas you have for future videos, and I'll consider them. Are there things you've noticed about the game? Questions about the remake? Let me know!
