Kula World was released on July 10th, 1998 and was published by Sony Computer Entertainment. It remains the most well known version of the game.

The most well known piece of cut content is the OBJ LEVEL, a testing level containing every object in the game including unused objects. This level is present at the end of every theme's main .PAK file:

Roll Away was released sometime between November 27th to December 1st, 1998. It remains the only known version to have been released in North America, and was published by Psygnosis. The changes in this version branch off of the changes from the Kula World Prototype, as the prototype is slightly newer than Kula World.

The OBJ LEVEL inside Hiro's PAK file was replaced with a new LESSON level, slightly modified to show the player most of the objects and blocks, though still inaccessible:

A more obscure unused level is one embedded inside the game's executable, which was later used in Kula Quest for the Time Trial ending:

  • The ending FMV was changed to a golden ball bouncing on a block.
  • The Hidden 10 exit is correctly placed, with the Hidden 9 exit being placed but in an unreachable location.
  • For an unknown reason, the "ACID!" death message is displayed when The Final is completed.
