Is there a way to know what is in the presents without having to open them and memorize them on fixed world? Like....is all the fixed worlds over every game between platforms the same, or will they all be different?

In Fixed World, a present located in a certain spot on a level will always have the same contents. The outer package will look different each time, but the contents are the same. As far as different platforms, they should all be the same, though I haven't tested it myself. I'd be extremely surprised if they were different.

awesome! thank you bbqsauz for responding. I loved this game when it came out on the genisis, and I downloaded it on my PS3 a few months back and was watching Peaches run it on an old GDQ and wanna get into it, just wasn't sure if they were different or not.
