This official enemy collage found on the Super Turrican secrets page on Factor 5's website features some enemies that didn't feature in the final release, namely, from top to bottom:

  • At the top left is a green alien head boss that was later seen in Stage 4-2 of Mega Turrican, albeit with the green brain-like balls orbiting around it rather than being its hair.
  • A metallic variation of the fish enemy from Stage 1-2.
  • All enemies seen inside the alien queen go unused, mainly the tank boss found in Stage 3 of Mega Turrican, seemingly missing its long arm-like beam from that game, the small drones to the left of it may have been related to it.
  • A red robot enemy with a grey bottom half. A variation of this that's the top half but crawling exists in the Director's Cut, frozen up in 3-1, and alive in the restored battleship stage, complete with a green variant.
  • A giant flying alien enemy which would make it into Mega Turrican with added insect wings.
  • A bizarre ball-like enemy on the far left seems to go unused.
  • An angry metallic human face at the bottom left, surrounded by red stray pixels. It may have been related to the Stage 2 boss.
  • At the bottom right is a boss that would eventually make it into Super Turrican 2, albeit with some design and shading tweaks.

An unused turning sprite for the running alien enemy in Stage 4 is also present, which can be seen in Mega Turrican.
