JumpStart Adventures 4th Grade: Haunted Island/Pre-release and Unused Content

This is a list of pre-release and unused content from JumpStart Adventures 4th Grade: Haunted Island.

Ms. Grunkle Early/Unused Artwork
A preview for the game from KnowledgeLand depicts what appears to be an early design of Ms. Grunkle. The image uses 2D artwork of Ms. Grunkle not seen anywhere in the final game. She is depicted with glasses, which are absent from her final design. Another curious aspect of the image is that it depicts Ms. Grunkle as standing in front of the gate near Madame Pomreeda's Cart, when she never appears in this location the final release.

Unused Ghost/Woods Design
A early screenshot of a ghost in the woods appeared in a preview for the game from KnowledgeLand, as well as in the game's digital manual. The ghost is presumably a prototype design for Repsac, although neither the KnowledgeLand preview nor the digital manual explicitly refer to the ghost by his name. Some notable differences in his early design are a lighter body, yellow eyes, and a differently shaped face and hands. The woods background also has some differences from the final release. Most notably, Casey's cameo is absent from the pre-release screenshot, and the tree that he hides behind is missing as well.

Early Labyrinth Design
An image which appeared on the JumpStart website circa 1996 depicted what appears to be an early design for the labyrinth.

Yearbook Prototype
An early version of the Haunted Yearbook appeared in a preview for the game from KnowledgeLand.
