Super MD:Prototype Content

Prototype Content for  Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon.

Prototype World Map

An unused prototype world map, labeled with the kanji 仮, which means "provisional". The Unknown Landmass can be seen in this version of the map. This map is, in a way, more detailed than the one seen in the released game, as certain locations (Altar of Ice, Sky Ruins, Destiny Tower, Triangle Temple, and the Tree of Life) can be seen on the map itself, similar to the world map in  Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity, although with not nearly as many noticeable landmarks. The Sand Continent appears to have more snow than in the released game, where only the southern part does. In addition, Fire Island and Island of Storms swapped places in the final version. It seems Fire Island was moved to be closer to the Tree of Life for story reasons.

A small, stretched texture used in the game shows another earlier version of the map. This might be a later version of the map, as Fire Island and Island of Storms are in their final positions. However, there is a lot more green compared to the final map. The Unknown Landmass is also visible.

Prototype	Texture	Final

In another texture, the continents are closer and more connected, and don't resemble the maps from the previous games as much as the final version does.

The Unknown Landmass and the earlier position of Fire Island can also be partially seen in the final game during a cutscene, as well as the banner model seen before launching the game from the 3DS Home Menu.
