This wireframe does not match the final Perplexing Pool in many ways, instead appearing closer to the likely earlier Piklopedia/Treasure Hoard version of the area. Notably, the area where the landing site would be is a large circular mound with its walls being made up of metal pieces, rather than a large concrete rectangle. | ||

For one thing, any artificial objects such as the entire shower floor section where the [[Shower Room]] would be and the half-buried junk strewn around the final game's landing site are completely missing, dating this map to have been created likely before any known prerelease screenshots were taken. The texture also shows an island (with a high polygon count presumably, as it is almost completely white) south-east of where the landing site would be, while no such island exists in the final area. An open expanse south of where the landing site would be is also present, with these oddities likely being remnants of [[The Distant Spring]]'s layout. A ramp to left of the landing site seen in a prerelease screenshot is also present. Finally, most of the out of bounds parts of the area appear very unfinished looking. | ||
