'''Key points'''
 +
{{ii}} ''Special Edition'' refers to many earlier builds of Tonic Trouble released around a year prior to the game's actual retail release date which contain many differences from the final retail version such as different level designs, graphics, lighting, music, tank-like controls, enemies and character designs, etc.
 +
{{ii}} Some of the textures are in better quality than in retail version (128x128 vs 64x64).
 +
{{--}} Character animations are capped at 30 FPS.

{{ii}} Patches are available [https://archive.org/details/TTCastlepatch here]. The {{file|TT_Castlepatch.exe}} patch is for version 8.5.1 which fixes an issue in North Plain. The {{file|ttsv_mat.zip}} patch updates the Matrox OEM version 8.6.6 to version 8.6.8 to fix a saving issue, note that save files created with version 8.6.6 will no longer be compatible after patching it to version 8.6.8 and must be deleted. The {{file|ttsndfix.zip}} patch is not meant for any Special Editions, but rather the retail versions of [[Tonic Trouble]].

Key points

Special Edition refers to many earlier builds of Tonic Trouble released around a year prior to the game's actual retail release date which contain many differences from the final retail version such as different level designs, graphics, lighting, music, tank-like controls, enemies and character designs, etc.
Some of the textures are in better quality than in retail version (128x128 vs 64x64).
Character animations are capped at 30 FPS.

Essential improvements

Patches

Patches are available here. The TT_Castlepatch.exe patch is for version 8.5.1 which fixes an issue in North Plain. The ttsv_mat.zip patch updates the Matrox OEM version 8.6.6 to version 8.6.8 to fix a saving issue, note that save files created with version 8.6.6 will no longer be compatible after patching it to version 8.6.8 and must be deleted. The ttsndfix.zip patch is not meant for any Special Editions, but rather the retail versions of Tonic Trouble.
