Finding Nemo is a game based on the movie of the same name. The game is exclusively set underwater, and features 2D-style gameplay where you can play as either Nemo, Marlin and or Dory as you follow the plot of the movie only with a whole lot more colored stone and sliding block puzzles that are mysteriously in your way.
Notable for being the first Disney/Pixar console game published by THQ, and Traveller's Tales' last Pixar movie tie-in game as development for future games would be handled by THQ's internal studios.

Nigel the Pelican#
There are three playable characters: Nemo, Marlin and Dory. While there are few differences among them, their gameplay styles are nearly identical, where they swim around in a 2D or 3D plane. However, the game's files show there were plans for more playable characters with different gameplay styles. The config.txt file shows a list of the planned characters. Judging from all of this, Nigel was going to have two gameplay styles: one where he would have been running and jumping and another where he would have been flying. His model is present only in the GameCube version's files, with incomplete textures, that demonstrate that he was cut before he was finished. Each of the cut characters have a .txt file attached to them, with Nigel's listed below as an example:

anim_end This unfinished file doesn't list the full set of animations for Nigel (dive, glide, grab, idle, jglide), since was cut and left unfinished. Underneath his walk and fly animations are "thunk" and "flap" sound effects, which go unused since there are no other characters with actions that use those sounds. As a result, Nigel, a major character in the movie, is completely absent from the game.
Additionally, Nigel has two death animations: ni_drop.cut (if he went too far offscreen) and ni_hitob.cut (for collision detection). Unlike other death animations, there's no txt file to accompany them.
Crush#
Crush has less animations and a shorter txt file so he didn't get as far into development. Unlike Nigel, he was going to be playable underwater. Ultimately, he is featured, but as an unplayable character.
radius=5
miny=-1
maxy=2.3
scale=0.825

anim_endThis .txt file also has missing animations (idle and surf).
Bubble#
Bubble (not to be confused with the character Bubbles), unlike Nigel and Crush, has no animations, and is just simply a white sphere. Its associated .txt file is also lacking. It's possible this was used as a test object.
scale=1.75
radius=0.37

This needs some investigation. |
There are a number of unused levels left in the game's files, although their overall state depends which version of the game. The PS2 version has the most complete files, which can possibly be accessed and reconstructed. The Xbox version has empty files, and the GameCube version only has the .txt files that reference them.
All Versions#
boat#
This level, set on a boat, was likely a level where you play as Nigel (suggested by the line "air_based"). The .txt file is short with very little info about the level, and only the PS2 version has collision detection for all of the unused levels. Watch on YouTube

The model and collision detection data are found in the files for the East Australian Current level, while the .txt file is found in the test folder. The level's file size (16.3MB) is too large to swap with any of the other levels, so it currently cannot be accessed.

Start#
Start is supposed to contain graphics, but all of the files in the folder are empty.
subold#
An earlier version of the "Submarine" level can be found within its files. This version contains less files than the final version, though it is currently unknown how different is it from the final version. It is the only unused level in the Xbox version that has collision detection and files that are not empty.
Unused Animations#
|
|
This page or section has one or more broken YouTube links. |
Nemo#
Nemo has two unused animations in a separate subfolder: "swimfast" and "walk". Though the former's removal is unusual, the latter's removal is pretty obvious.
swimfast#
The swimfast animation is only done during a level. Trying to move Nemo will cause the game to crash. The video below depicts this animation glitching and moving a frame per second while trying to implement it into the game.
Watch on YouTube
walk#
Again, the video below depicts the animation glitching, but it is interesting to see what Nemo's walk animation would've been like.
Watch on YouTube
Nigel#
Nigel's animations can only be inserted into the loading screen, as it will crash if loaded anywhere else.
idle#
walk#
fly#
This may have been intended for the unused Pier level, during the seagull chase.

tkhitair#
Ditto for this hit animation.

Unused Graphics#
The "stuff" folder in the PS2 and Xbox versions contain some unused graphics. Unless otherwise noted, these are leftovers from Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex.
PS2#
ariel32 is a font set from Wrath of Cortex.
envtxt is a bunch of random colors.
Spectxtf is a bright light with no clear purpose. Both of these graphics differ from the similarly-named ones found in Wrath of Cortex. The Xbox version also contains oldspectxtf which shows a bunch of grey diamonds separated by black diagonal lines.
particle.raw is a bunch of leftover textures, one of which is a stained glass texture featuring Dr. Neo Cortex, which is also found in LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game, albeit darker.
nemo_old.ico is a leftover PS2 save icon from Wrath of Cortex. It may have been used as a placeholder.
Xbox#
WaterCubemap.dds is an image of the interior of Microsoft's building.
Unused Cutscenes#
|
|
This page or section has one or more broken YouTube links. |
intro.xmv#
intro.xmv, found only in the North American Xbox release, is an unfinished workprint of the movie's opening titles dated January 2003, four months before the movie's theatrical release. It was most likely used as a placeholder before Pixar sent the final footage.
mfbout.cut#
Present in all versions (except GameCube) is "mfbout.cut", which is a cutscene from the Minefield level in an unfinished state, with incomplete animations, no lip-synching, and no audio.
Unused Audio#
Character |
Transcript |
|---|---|
Merlin |
"Come on, Nemo. Time for school." |
Nemo |
"Hurray!" |
Merlin |
"Make sure you keep up, Nemo. There are rings of bubbles along the way. See if you can swim through all of them. You might just gotta reward if you do." |
Nemo |
"Wow! Cool!" |
Merlin |
"Right, let's go!" |
Present only in the GameCube and Xbox versions is the file audio\english\gts_intr, which is placeholder dialogue of Marlin and Nemo from the "Going to School" level.
Unused Gameplay Styles#
Config.txt shows all of the gameplay styles that were planned to be in the final version.
Used in the final game are:
- Side
- In
- Out
- Boing
There are a few more styles listed:
- Default - Listed to have directional controls (Left, right, forwards or backwards, but not up or down) and meant to be used in any Out of Bounds areas.
- Sidewalk - The camera is shown from the side (originally intended for the cut Nigel levels).
- Offset - The camera has a fixed offset form the player.
- Down - The player would be moving along the y-axis.
- Free - A free-roaming mode where the player can swim anywhere.
- Next to this listing in the .txt file is a dev message: (aaaaaarrrrrgggghhh.....!!!!)
Any of the unused styles can be added to the levels in the game, though since they're not designed for those styles, the controls can glitch. The huge abundance of invisible walls also makes it difficult to use these styles and there is zero freedom. Even if the player bypasses these walls and gets out of bounds, the game will switch to the "default" style, and depending on the locations, the player can get stuck.
The config.txt file also mentions "water_based" and "air_based", meaning that the level was designed for underwater or above water, respectively. However, "water_based" is not in any of the .txt files for each level, since that is the default setting to begin with. "air_based" can be added to any of the levels, allowing the player to swim above water, although once a certain height is reached, the game will force you into the "default" style, with no way back down.
Unused Text#
config.txt#
Config.txt can be found in the files. This contains all of the information about the game: playable characters, graphics, gameplay styles, cutscenes, dialogue, etc. The .txt file shown below is from the GameCube version. The Xbox version's config.txt adds the level select code at the start of the file (for the PS2 version, strangely). The game does not read it, as it is not referenced in the executable, and modifying it has no effect on gameplay.

- The Korean PS2 and Xbox versions have a moving animation for the text, which the Japanese PS2 and Japanese/Korean GameCube versions lack.
- The level names in the Japanese PS2 and Korean PS2/Xbox versions are raised from the ground, as opposed to the flat texture that in the Japanese and Korean GameCube versions.

Revisional Differences#
Miscellaneous Differences#
- Each version has different options. The GameCube and Xbox versions set stereo or mono audio based on the system setting. The GameCube and PS2 versions have a toggle for Surround sound. The PS2 version has an option for adjusting the screen position.
- The Xbox version has Dolby Digital 5.1 support and has an option for headphones.
- Curiously, the Xbox version has a "Press Start to Resume" text when the game is paused.
- The rolling demos that play when left idle at the title screen are different. The PS2 and Xbox versions have gameplay demos, but each version has slightly different sequences that are featured. The GameCube version has flythroughs of a few levels.
- Graphically, the Xbox version has a shinier bloom effect while the GameCube version is the weakest, suffering from worse overall graphics (poor color and darker areas) and performance. The PS2 sits in between, with better frame rate but less shiny graphics.
GameCube Version#
Two different revisions were released for the GameCube version. Version 1.00 was released in North America and English language PAL regions and had the following issues:
- Drastically longer load times, ranging up to about a minute.
- Some missing sound effects, such as when the seashell counter lands in the ground in the level select after finishing the level with a new high score.
These issues were fixed in Version 1.01, which was released in Japan, Korea, some parts of Europe and later in North America.
PlayStation 2#
- The music on the level continues to play during the cutscene and does not restart after the cutscene, unlike in other versions.
