===Early build=== | |||
The HUD in E3 2013 footage of the game was slightly different from the final version. The health counter lacked the wooden plank icon behind the hearts. There was also no possibility to see whether the player can perform the [[Kong POW]] move, as the banana bar was missing.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DueE8vJXpo8 E3 trailer. Notice the different HUD for the health counter.]</ref> | The HUD in E3 2013 footage of the game was slightly different from the final version.

Additionally, in the E3 2013 demo, the level [[Cannon Canyon]] was known as "Cannon Canyons" and belonged in [[Autumn Heights|the second world]] instead of the [[Bright Savannah|third]]. | |||
===Level template=== | |||
A steamboat model was built to serve as the basis for all mechanical structures present in Lost Mangroves. The steamboat itself is not fully used in the game, but a few instances appear in [[Trunk Twister]].<ref>{{ref quote|This is one of the very first assets I made for Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze. It became the basis for all of the structures in the Mangrove Island […] I'm pretty happy with this piece and even though it is an early one and not fully featured in the game (you can see it in a few instances in Trunk Twister). I am happy its pieces got so much use throughout the game!|Eric Kozlowsky, former artist at Retro Studios|[http://landofkoz.blogspot.ro/2014/02/its-on-like-kong.html on his blog]}}</ref> | |||
===Concept artwork=== | |||
Many of the game's concept artworks give out ideas that would have been used in the game but were ultimately rejected. Most of them are available in the game itself as rewards for collecting Puzzle Pieces; for a full list of concept artworks, complete with indications on what concepts were or were not used, see [[List of extras in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze#Images|here]]. | |||
Below is a list of notable artworks with concepts that did not make the cut. | |||
