Found alongside 3 later prototypes were two very early builds along with documentation of the technical aspects. Both are dated January 8, 2001, exactly 11 months before the game's North American release. Each build consists of the same engine, however, one puts emphasis on the game's mechanics and the other focuses on its graphical capabilities. It is unknown if the final version of the game uses an entirely different engine or builds further upon what is shown here.
Both builds along with their documentation can be found in the leaked development disc archives at Sponge Bob Disk 1MaxArtMs5 agb.
Mechanics Test

Referred to as the "Contours Test" in its filename, this build emphasized on the engine's physics. Upon starting, you are taken to a very plain level graphics-wise as two rotating SpongeBob sprites float freely behind you. The words "Middle" and "Rear" appear in the background in order to test parallax scrolling.
Graphics Test

Unlike the Mechanics Test, this build focused on how the engine handled graphics. It consists of a Lava Fields-esque level with a very linear layout.
