Weirdly, the voice clips for Zaria and Lok are still on the disc, rendering all of them unused.</li> <li>At the end of <i>Swollen River Ruins</i>, in the Wii version you have to face-off against a single giant Woodie, in the PS2 version he's replaced by three smaller Woodies.</li> <li>The various parts of the interior of Trashthulu's head from the final section of his level are constantly shaking and moving around for ambient effect in the Wii version, they're completely static on PS2.</li> <li>The final cutscene of Slopviathan's level has him bleeding green goo from his eyes before turning to stone on the Wii version, the goo color is changed to black/purple in the PS2 version (which may or may not look more gruesome depending on who you ask).</li> <li>Gorgonzilla's level has a cutscene that's slightly different depending on the version: on the Wii version the camera zooms out on his back showing a bit of the next level section before switching to an aerial view of him from the front, in the PS2 version it doesn't show the detailed level section and the front view is from the ground.</li> <li>Stinkolossus spends most of his titular level just there in the background, in the Wii version he's constantly spinning in a somewhat poorly looped animation while in the PS2 version he's mostly static.</li></ul> <table width="90%" class="navbox mw-collapsible"> <tbody><tr><th
