Jet Moto 2124

This game was never completed and/or given a public release. As a result of this, keep in mind that the developers might have used or deleted some of the content featured here, had the game actually been released.

This prototype is documented on Hidden Palace.

Jet Moto 2124 was intended to be a futuristic followup to the highly-underrated Jet Moto games, to be released in Spring 2000. Unfortunately, problems during development, as well as the relatively lackluster sales of Jet Moto 3, resulted in its cancellation.

What seems to be an early test build was acquired by Jet Moto Central and released on January 14, 2014.

Unused Tracks#

Atlantis II#

Watch on YouTube

Known in-game as ATLAN_2. This track uses a similar aesthetic as Atlantis, but has a completely different layout. According to developers, this stage was scrapped due to being too difficult for the first stage in the game, and was thus replaced with Atlantis.

The following code will replace Atlantis with Atlantis II:

 300C55EC 0041
 300C55ED 0054
 300C55EE 004C
 300C55EF 0041
 300C55F0 004E
 300C55F1 005F
 300C55F2 0032

Neo Rio#

Known in-game as NEORIO. This track crashes the game when loaded.

An unused trophy for Neo Rio exists in the game's files.

Pacific Ocean#

Known in-game as PACIFIC. This track is a near-duplicate of Atlantis II with only some minor aesthetic changes. The files are located after Neo Rio, indicating that Atlantis II was to be brought back after being cut with a slight change in its theme before being scrapped again.

The following code will replace Atlantis with Pacific Ocean:

 300C55EC 0050
 300C55ED 0041
 300C55EE 0043
 300C55EF 0049
 300C55F0 0046
 300C55F1 0049
 300C55F2 0043

The beginning of the track. Note the different sign compared to Atlantis II.

The turn right after the underwater tunnel.

The ship jump, now with less protective barriers.

Again, note the yellow arrow sign.

Test Track#

Known in-game as CRYS_COM. This track is a flat plane made up of a grid of various textures.

The following code will replace Atlantis with Test Track:

 300C55EC 0043

 300C55EE 0059

Unused Images#

Given the unfinished nature of the game, there are a lot of images that go unused here.

Screens#

A development credit for Sony Interactive Studios America, recycled from 2Xtreme. It was most likely a placeholder for either the 989 Studios logo video or for Pacific Coast Power & Light's own logo.

A couple of screens involving legal info.

These screens were meant to be displayed at the end of a demo build of the game.

This screen was meant to be shown when loading stunt mode.

Renders#

An unused logo image.

A simple test image, showing a screenshot from Jet Moto 2.

Another test image.

There are also a couple of other unused renders hidden in the game's files. Their intended purpose is unknown.

Jet Moto 2125#

There are several leftover images from a much earlier build of the game, titled Jet Moto 2125.

These images were used for the title screen. Interestingly, the background is also stored as a separate file, despite the menus coming pre-assembled in the first three images.

These images were used for the options menu. Likewise, there are several elements that are saved separately, despite the pre-assembled menu screen.

A couple of early speedometer designs.

Unused Music#

The tracks "Falling" and "Keep Hope Alive" go unused, as they were intended to play on Pacific Coast and Neo Rio, respectively.
