The concept art itself appears to match what made it into the final game with only a few minor differences, such as the [[Girl]]'s dress being longer and segmented in the middle (resembling how it looks in the [[Remix 7 (GBA)|Remix 7]] version of the game) and the [[Monkey]]s being very simple stick figures, incidentally resembling [[Play-Yan]], though it is unknown if this was simply a placeholder design. The specifications also suggest that doing two taps would have the trio step with their right foot, the same as doing one tap. They do double taps by stepping with their left foot in the final game. | ||

There is a | There is a placeholder background sprite, being a simple green rectangle. A second such sprite exists with the [[Girl]], [[Monkey#Tap Trial|Monkey]]s and [[Giraffe]], likely as a layout test. | ||
There are unused sprites of the [[Monkey#Tap Trial|Monkey]]'s head blinking, smiling, and facing to the side. These all match up to the sprites of the [[Monkey#Hole in One|Monkey]] in [[Hole in One]], likely used as a reference for this game. There is also what looks to be a long, bent arm, perhaps meant to be part of the triple tap animation. The used arms are much shorter. | There are unused sprites of the [[Monkey#Tap Trial|Monkey]]'s head blinking, smiling, and facing to the side.

[[Tap Trial 2]] contains a remade version of the [[Camel]] from the original replacing the [[Giraffe]], still unused. Interestingly, the camel's legs can be seen on the prologue to [[Tap Trial 2]] in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', replacing the giraffe's. [[Songbird Remix]] on the other hand has a slightly different version of the [[Giraffe]]'s sprite. | [[Tap Trial 2]] contains a remade version of the [[Camel]] from the original replacing the [[Giraffe]], still unused.
