SCRIPTS / OBJECTS

Some of the game's scripts remained unused with several community members attempting to make them usable again:

By Smartkin:



By Marko:



By the community:





Several cutscenes also remained unused:



An invisible, controllable hoverboard exists out of bounds at the Mechabandicoot arena:



AUDIO - GENERAL

A lot of ambience tracks, songs, and small sound effects went unused:



Several voicelines remained unused:

Cortex: "Meet me on level B, I have something to show you."
A voiceline in most Iceberg Lab chunks. Most likely a way for Cortex to tease Crash just before the Psychetron, judging by how proud he is of it in the cutscene.



Cortex: "Spin me if you like, but I'll never give up my crystal!"
A voiceline placed in several Cavern Catastrophe chunks.



Cortex: "The doors! Close them! Quickly!"
A voiceline in the ant drill fight chunk in Cavern Catastrophe. Most likely for the end of the drill's first cutscene.



Cortex: "Naughty dog, naughty dog!"
A voiceline in Cavern Catastrophe chunks placed nearby idle animation lines.



Cortex: "Now be careful not to let him spin back the green plasma blast. Three fault hits and we're done for. If only he knew..."
A voiceline in the general localization pack, which contains mostly cutscene audio. Three plasma hits implies that it was used in the Mechabandicoot boss fight at some point.
Filename: DRC033



All of them were localized in the PAL and NTSC-J versions:



AUDIO - XBOX

On the NTSC-U XBOX version, 14 voicelines exist in the localization pack that were scrapped ambient lines spoken during Cortex's part of Classroom Chaos.

AUDIO - CRASH TAG TEAM RACING DEMO

A test voiceline in the Crash Tag Team Racing demo depicts an different take on the birthday cutscene, which turns out to lead directly into Mechabandicoot's entrance.

Cortex: "Three years I've spent alone in the frozen antarctic wastes. And I've missed you.
So, I've built something to remember you by! Meet your brand new, hydraulically operated, twin brother, Mecha Bandicoot!"
