Krystal & Randorn's First Conversation - Alternate#
There are two copies of the dialogue for Randorn's first cutscene in the game. Strangely, the unused version has fewer grammatical errors and typos than the instance that's used, which may suggest it's a revised draft. It can be found at 0x1FF1779.

Unused Speeder Rematch#
Stored beside other Ice Mountain lines from addresses 0x1FEFFDF-0x1FF0158 in the ROM. There's text for the SharpClaw challenging Sabre/Fox to a rematch, taunting him if he rejects them, offering him a harder challenge if he wins, mocking him if he loses, and giving him something if he wins the harder challenge.
This likely relates to the unused warp pads and extra speeder racetrack.
So the wolf thinks he's fast.
Wanna race Sharpclaw?
Rules are simply... first to bottom... wins.
Wolf too scared to race?
You were lucky that time.
Wanna harder challenge?
You're too slow wolf boy.
We race again.
This time wolf must smash all of the crates.
Wolf too fast.
Take this and leave SharpClaw alone.Early Script#
An early version of a small part of the game's script can be found at offsets 0x3A790C4-0x3A790C4 in the unmodified ROM. May have been used as a placeholder or for testing subtitles.

Several lists of strings can be found at the end of the audio datablock, from addresses 0x1BD030 to 0x1BF036. These appear to be the original MIDI filenames of some of the game's music tracks! The first list has 34 entries, and the second list (which appears numerous times) has 14 entries. The second (recurring) list seems to just consist of the last 14 entries from the first list, so it could just be an artifact. The second list's first entry "pf1" appears to be the "campf1" entry from the first list but with the first few characters cut off - with this in mind the first list's "rysmed3" could also have its beginning truncated, where "rys" could be short for "Krys(tal)". The lists don't have enough entries to cover all the game's music tracks, so it's possible these are "diff" files noting which batch of MIDIs had been processed/updated by an asset importer. It's currently unclear which music IDs are associated with these tracks, but the additional data surrounding the lists may reveal further insights.
MIDI Name |
Possible music track name |
Notes |
|---|---|---|
rysmed3 |
? |
Based on the above evidence this filename might be truncated, in which case "rys" could potentially have been "Krys(tal)" - Krystal Medium? |
cryshig5 |
? |
Krystal High? |
cdrip2 |
? |
Cave Drip? |
cave2 |
? |
Magic Cave ambience? |
icecham3 |
DarkIce Mines Ice Chamber |
Commonly referred to as the "Waterfall Room", but "Ice Chamber" might be its official name. |
force3 |
Desert/Volcano Force Point Temple |
It's not clear which of the two this could be. |
hollow2 |
SwapStone Hollow |
Curiously, "swaphol1" is also listed below! This could suggest that SwapStone Hollow was once going to have different music tracks for its upper/lower layers. Alternatively, it might mean that two different pieces of music were composed for SwapStone Hollow and both were retained so that one could be reused elsewhere, possibly in SwapStone Circle so that the two SwapStone areas would have unique themes. The Thorntail Hollow theme from Star Fox Adventures is also present but unused in Dinosaur Planet alongside the music track used in both SwapStone Circle/Hollow, so it could potentially be either "hollow2" or "swaphol1". |
discf4 |
Discovery Falls |

nwfore7 |
Northern Wastes (Foreground) |
|
cloud1 |
CloudRunner Fortress |
|
shower1 |
? |
Could be rain ambience, or maybe "Meteor Shower" as in Moon Mountain Pass' meteoroid crash cutscene. |
raincvr3 |
? |
Rain Cover? A rain ambience track? |
clear1 |
? |
|
newsprg1 |
? |
New sprg? News programme? Possibly music for the "previously on Dinosaur Planet" menu? |
dunambi4 |
? |
Possibly a truncated "dune" - ambience/music for Golden Plains? |
wtrtest1 |
? |
Walled City T. Rex test? Could be the RedEye King boss theme, or possibly music for the unimplemented RedEye chase sequence in Walled City. |
galint1 |
Galleon Interior |
It's possible to enter the Galleon in CloudRunner Fortress but it doesn't have its own music track, however this filename seems to suggest that music was considered for it! |
moonp1 |
Moon Mountain Pass |
|
treas1 |
CloudRunner Fortress - Treasure Rooms |
The Treasure Rooms don't play a unique music track, however this filename suggests that one was considered. |
gstorm1 |
? |
Galleon Storm - environmental ambience? |
campf1 |
? |
Campfire - possibly Sabre's intro cutscene on Ice Mountain? |
wind1 |
? |
Wind ambience |
gallext1 |
Galleon Exterior |
|
rainwind |
? |
Rain/wind ambience |
tester |
? |
Possibly a MIDI scratchpad for making sure instrument samples were configured as desired. |
gallwind |
? |
Galleon wind ambience? |
dimwind1 |
DarkIce Mines (Wind ambience) |
|
silence1 |
? |
The December 2000 prototype contains over 20 silent/blank MIDI tracks. |
dimmute1 |
? |
DarkIce Mines (Mute/Muted?) |
swaphol1 |
SwapStone Hollow |
As noted above, there seem to be two pieces of music for SwapStone Hollow in this list! It's possible that SwapStone Circle/Hollow were originally going to use different pieces of music, and Circle's music track originally started off as a theme for Hollow. Star Fox Adventures' Thorntail Hollow ends up using two music tracks at different points in the game (both of which are present in this December 2000 prototype), which may have been a way to retain both of these lovely themes instead of having to discard one of them. |
biggem01 |
? |
Big Gem? Possibly cutscene music for the Quan Ata Lachu crystal's transformation into a star? |
spooky01 |
? |
This could fit a number of tracks: the eerie music used when first visiting Warlock Mountain, the scary Quan Ata Lachu spirit collection theme, or maybe music for the graveyard-themed BlackWater Canyon. |
spirit01 |
? |
Quan Ata Lachu spirit collection/cutscene? |
showernodrip |

Miscellaneous debug text can be found at address 0x39B893C, which may be partly carried over from Diddy Kong Racing since it refers to "tracks" instead of "levels". Text for various render mode toggles is included such as "AntiAlias" on/off and "Sky" on/off - there's also an amusingly-named "MrSheen" setting, which seems be a reference to the Australian-made cleaning spray product!

Debug text can be found at address 0x39BCDE5 which seems to relate to some of Warlock Mountain's objects, specifically the "WM_MoonSeedMoun" "WM_NoPassVine" and "WM_NoPassHorzVi" objects. These vines block access to some of the level's more obscure corners which were once going to be used for an optional late-game quest to save Randorn: i.e. the dockside cave in Krystal's half (which houses one of the MoonSeed mounds), or the interior port's shore in Sabre's half. The debug text seems to suggest that the vines were intended to be burnt away using Kyte/Tricky's flame abilities when they join the player on later visits to the level, instead of the vines' current behaviour where they simply disappear after being hit repeatedly with any attack.
