If you manage to save every single Mudokon in the game, you get a bonus cinematic.

In this first Oddworld game, the Mudokons had four-fingered hands, but in later Oddworld games, they have three-fingered hands. This was changed after complaints from the Japanese government. Four-fingered characters are offensive to the Japanese, because Japanese meat-workers often lost a finger (thus making them four-fingered).
To make it extra ironic, Abe's Oddysee begins and ends in a meat fabric...
