This article has a talk page!This is a sub-page of Proto:Crash Team Racing/August 5th, 1999 build.
Watch on YouTubeDespite the lack of any voice lines being heard in-game at this stage, the XA directory contains a plethora of placeholder recordings made by the developers - most notably programmer Gavin James - which would later be replaced by proper voice acting.
Unused Sound Effects#
Some of the sound effects were completely removed from the final game, while others are present but were implemented later.

|---|---|---|---|
147 |
Coco Park |
Some sort of animal sound. |
|
148 |
What sounds like a time-streched sample of a baby babble. |
||
141 |
Polar Pass |
Two water splashing sound effects that were removed in the final game, which were most likely from the Orca hazard when it jumped out of and back into the water. |
|
142 |
|||
158 |
N/A |
The warp in/out sound effects from the first game. These may have been a placeholder for the warp pad teleportation sound. |
|
159 |
|||
161 |
Unknown sparkling sound. |
||
162 |
A chime sound effect. |
||
163 |
The letter pickup sound effect but slower. |
In addition, some Adventure Mode-related sound effects are already present in the audio data, but haven't been programmed to play in-game yet:
- Warp pad loop.
- World door unlocking and opening.
- Regular boss garage opening.
- Nitros Oxide's garage opening.
Unused Music#
The race defeat theme is present within the files, but goes unused in this build.
Unused Early Intro#
A music track not used in the final version of the game is present in the MUSIC folder, but as this build doesn't play anything at startup, it becomes unused. The composer Josh Mancell posted the "pre-console" version of this track on his SoundCloud in 2016.
In the final game, the intro music is stored in the HOWL file instead, just like the level themes.
Aku Aku Fillers#
Several duplicate audio files containing random fragments of Aku Aku's cutscene dialogue from Crash Bandicoot: Warped are used to fill empty audio space in the EXTRA folder. Three clips in particular are repeated throughout what would later become the Adventure Mode audio files:

Notes |
|---|---|---|
Uka Uka is free?! No... it cannot be! Evil... great evil has come... Crash, now! |
The final part was cut and it's actually absent in the final version of the cutscene. Interestingly, you can still hear it in the September 26th, 1998 build. |
|
Children, Uka Uka and Cortex plan to use this Time-Twisting Machine to gather crystals that lay scattered across time. I have brought you here to recover the crystals before they do so. To open the time portal, simply stand on a button and then jump into the portal. Good luck. |
Interestingly, Aku Aku says that dialogue in the intro cutscene, but this clip has the Time Twister sound effects included before and after his dialogue, as if it was meant to be a Time Twister interval, which never happens as you're told everything before you even access the Warp Room. |
|
Crash, Coco, if you have already retrieved a level's crystal, then you will find a floating clock when you enter for the second time. This floating clock activates Time Trial mode. Grab it and the clock will start ticking. Race for the end to get the best time. But beware, some elements will change. |
Character Menu Placeholders#
The XA directory contains an additional folder named WRAP, which stores extra audio data that was not included in the final game. The audio files suggest that characters would have unique voice clips that played when selected on the character select screen, though this feature was scrapped shortly afterwards. Notably, Nitros Oxide is included in this set.

Placeholder Voice Clips#
The character audio banks are placeholder samples of programmer Gavin James reading out the basic actions of each character in a deadpan tone. Some leftovers of these filler clips are still present in Penta Penguin's audio files and the incomplete set of unused race result dialogues in the final North American release.

Voice Slider Placeholders#
In the Options menu, the voice adjustment uses two sample audio clips of each character to preview the volume according to the slider position. Funnily enough, the developers decided to record their own voice impressions for each character and put them in the menu as a placeholder. Note that only the eight starter characters actually have these audios enabled, while the unlockable characters' impressions cannot be heard in-game, but are present in the files.
