Well, this is a big coincidence!

Less than a week after I found the early title screen in the final version of Yoshi's Cookie for SNES, an individual who goes by Atamos posts this on the Digital Press forums. It's not the prototype that mrmark0673 is selling for a "not even remotely" cheap price; this one's an even earlier version!

The prototype, as well as an article comparing it to the final version, can be found at his website, which I indirectly linked to above.
However, the website is in French, so here's a Google-translated link (the download link is at the bottom of the page).

Here are some notable differences:
  • An even earlier version of the title screen is used.
  • Puzzle Mode is nowhere to be found.
  • The majority of the music is entirely different and was completely replaced in the final version.
  • Rows of cookies can be moved nearly as fast as in the NES version. However, the controls are a little too sensitive.
  • When playing a VS game against the computer, you cannot see what the computer player is doing.
  • A debug menu exists, although it's really more of a sound test.
  • Several minor graphical differences exist.

Haha, I saw the line about the entirely different music and immediately scrambled to make a music modifier code, so that I or someone else could dump some SPCs. Then two minutes later I had one, but then quickly saw the line about the debug mode/sound test and smacked myself

Anyway, awesome find. This makes the other prototype seem pretty pointless, although it would still be cool to get both of them for extensive comparison purposes.

Ahahaha, awesome. Things like this always make me really happy.

Thanks for the heads up!

Since he isn't being specific enough about how to access the debug menu, I did some investigating.

In the title screen, press L and R simultaneously on a second controller to access it.

The unused music track was present as early as this prototype--as BGM 11 in the debug mode--although you still don't actually hear it anywhere in the game.

Also, the track that plays when the map is shown in Puzzle Mode is present (BGM 03), despite Puzzle Mode's lack of existence.

In Action mode, pressing R lets you skip the current board. Pressing L lets you skip the entire round, ending it instantly.

Must have been a good way to test the cutscenes.

Figured out the purpose of the purple bars underneath Yoshi in action mode. These keep track of how many cookies have been eliminated in the current round. For each cookie you get rid of, 1/64 of the bar on the left fills up. After 64 are gone, 1/16 of the bar on the right fills up. Once you reach 1024 cookies, both bars are emptied, and the cycle begins again with differently colored bars.

What's the point of knowing this?

Well, for every 1024 cookies you eliminate, the beginning of the cutscene played after completing a round changes slightly. This is the case in both the prototype and the final version, although the results differ. PAR Codes 7E03F6 and 7E03F7 will let you set the low and high bytes, respectively, for the number of cookies cleared.

Bar Color # of Cookies Cutscene (prototype) Cutscene (final)
0-1023 None
1024-2047
2048-3071
+/=3072 Same as above


Edit: I've been informed by nensondubois on YouTube that you can freeze/unfreeze the game anytime by pressing A and X simultaneously on the second controller.

The alt attribute should be used to give a short description
of an image; longer descriptions should be given with the
longdesc attribute which takes a URL linked to the description.
These measures are needed for people using non-graphical browsers.

For further advice on how to make your pages accessible
see http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL.
You are recommended to use CSS to specify the font and
properties such as its size and color. This will reduce
the size of HTML files and make them easier to maintain
compared with using <FONT> elements.

You are recommended to use CSS to control line wrapping.
Use "white-space: nowrap" to inhibit wrapping in place
of inserting <NOBR>...</NOBR> into the markup.
