Frog Hop/Development: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 15:50, 15 November 2024

Let's table this for now...

The following content comes from pre-release material, was changed in other regions, or is unused in the game.

There's nothing wrong with a bit of images!

It has been requested that images should be added to this page or section.
Please remove this template when images have been added.

I guess we could try to eat the plate...

This page is incomplete.
You can help Rhythm Heaven Wiki by expanding it.

Rhythm Heaven

We'll need more research.
And maybe a dance party.

The Cutting Room Floor has a section on Frog Hop's regional differences.

Frog Hop consists of the following versions in Rhythm Heaven:

Internal Name	Image	Used in
frog		Frog Hop Remix 10
frog/ver2		Frog Hop 2
frog/ver3		Remix 5
frog/ver4		Remix 7

Early Builds

This was one of the very first games to be made for Rhythm Heaven, after Tsunku♂ tore apart the first sample of the game, then gave the concept for what eventually became Frog Hop^[1]. Despite this, he did not expect the game to be about frogs shaking their hips while recording the song for it, and laughed upon first seeing it^[2].

Miscellaneous

In Rhythm Heaven, after The Frogettes spin in Frog Hop 2, they suddenly get visible sleeves. Normally, only The Sax Player is supposed to have sleeves. This was fixed in Rhythm Heaven Megamix.

Regional Differences

The lip syncing for The Bandleader is different in each language.

In Rhythm Tengoku Gold, there is an extra "Yahoo" during the line "(Don't you know that that is just so square?)", but in the international versions, this was removed. It was restored in all versions of Rhythm Heaven Megamix. This "Yahoo" is present in all versions of Jumpin' Jazz, which other has the exact same patterns as Frog Hop with an extra section at the end. The removal of this "Yahoo" in Frog Hop therefore may have been done to differentiate the two a little more.

Rhythm Heaven Megamix

Frog Hop consists of the following versions in Rhythm Heaven Megamix:

Internal Name	Image	Used in
ver_long		Frog Hop Final Remix
ver_arrange		Jumpin' Jazz Final Remix
ver_remix05		Songbird Remix

Unused Content

The Bandleader and female frogette cannot bump into each other. There are sprites of them recoiling from a bump, regardless.

The Sax Player twirls his saxophone during a turn instead of spinning himself. There are unused sprites of the Sax Player spinning himself, regardless.

Regional Differences

The lip syncing for The Bandleader is different in each language, as before. This is not reflected in Final Remix however, which uses the Japanese version's lip syncing in all languages. The game also still uses the region-specific lip syncing regardless if the voices are set to Japanese.
