I found two long hallways in the prototype. One vertical and one horizontal. I'm not sure where in the mansion these were intended to be located or where they lead to.

Here's some other cool enemy sprites I found! A "fake" Yamamura (for some reason his face is missing), Prototype Mirror (along with someone else in the reflection), Hands (possibly a removed Quick-Time Event?), Chairs, and Crows (I assume they were similar to the Bats)! There is also some awesome Lady Mamiya art that I found (Maybe from a removed cutscene?). Also, if you enter Lady Mamiya's bedroom in the prototype, she just floats there and the event where she sends you to the fireplace doesn't trigger. I haven't found a way to beat the prototype version yet.

The sprite of the Cookie / Pills was changed for the final release. In the prototype, it looked more like a cookie to me lol. In the game's official manual, it shows a picture of the cookie (Here it kind of looks more like a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup haha).

Here's a bunch of items that went unused, were removed, or just never seen in normal gameplay.

Magnet, Torch, Thermos, Kazuo's Lighter, Iron Plate, Emi's Key, and Box. Unfortunately, none of the items besides the Key and Lighter seem to have any function.

In the prototype, the Generator was considered more of a typical puzzle (like the Blue Candle Statues, Projector, or Fountain, etc). Too bad they removed this first-person view in the final release. Also, what is very interesting is that there is a second gas container you can find along with an NPC who speaks to you about using the gas. Perhaps the Generator needed to be refilled at some point?

Not really speedrun related, but just wanted to share some of my findings from searching through the Sweet Home & Sweet Home Prototype roms.

This one is really interesting. I found a secret passage that leads from the dungeon to the basement! You just need a mallet. Also, you have to use the mallet on the dungeon side, and won't work from the basement side. None of the maps I've seen online have shown this. I think this is more useful in casual play, but if anyone has any ideas of how this can be used in a speedrun, I'd love to hear your thoughts!

I agree! 3 more levels to figure out and memorize haha.

Meong (Complete 1 Level)

Thanks guys!! I'm sure you two will beat this quicker than me lol. Just wanted to have something up on the board

Here is my submission for Lazer League! Great soundtrack.

haha thanks!! For such an unfair game, I think we did pretty awesome! I still want to get a better stage 10, so I'll come back to it eventually lol.

Hey, thank you!

Please add this amazing game to the leaderboard! Here is my run

Hey! In case anyone is interested in trying the Board Glitch out, I made a tutorial on how I set it up and explain a few things about it. Check it out and let me know if you have any questions and I'll try to answer.

Hey, just wanted to give everyone an update. All of the rankings should now be fixed! I had to re-verify some of the runs, but now the leaderboard rank matches the rank on your profiles.

Hey, I hope everyone likes the new leaderboard with the separate categories! It took me a minute, but I was able to place everyones runs in their correct sub-categories.

The rankings are updated and displaying as they should on the leaderboard, but on some speedrunner's profiles it is not showing the updated ranking. For example, on the leaderboard Karma is first place in Glitchless / 2016 Translation, but on her profile it still shows 2nd place. If anyone has any knowledge on how to update the profile rankings, please let me know.

Thank you!

Hey Everyone!

I was just added as a moderator! I'm currently working on reorganizing the leaderboard. I plan on making the main categories "Any% Glitchless", "Any% Dynamo Skip", and "Any% Board Glitch". The sub categories will be for the original Japanese version and the two English translations.

Awesome! Thank you Ecdycis!

I would definitely be interested in being an additional moderator for this game. I could help with verifying runs and assist with with re-categorizing the leaderboards to separate the Glitchless, Dynamo Skip, & Board Glitch / Memory Corruption runs. Let me know!

Hey again!

I think maybe we need an additional moderator (or two)? Ecdysis is the only person who's been active. The other mods seem to have not been online in quite a long time. I think we'd all like to see the categories separated (like discussed above) and we need someone to be able to do this. Soon, I'd like to start attempting some Glitchless runs and wouldn't want that to conflict with my Memory Corruption runs. Having the categories separate will make that possible. I'm still pretty new around here, so not sure how moderation works... Does the community nominate somebody...or does an existing mod have to do that? Either way, for fairness this needs to happen sooner than later!

🙏🙏
