Unused Models#

BEAVER.ALL#

A Beaver model that would have been one of the 5 collectibles in Al's Penthouse. It is unclear if this was replaced by the final Critters in the level, or if it would have shown up alongside them and was removed. In the PC version, creatures.cfg lists CREATURE 40 as RABID and BEAVER in the old creatures.bak file.

Particle Tech Demo#

Watch on YouTubePhil Harrison, then-Executive Vice President of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, came to visit Traveller's Tales having just revealed the PS2 in Japan by showing off a particle demo. Jon Burton (founder of Traveller's Tales) coded up the same demo on the PS1, and left it in the Toy Story 2 game by accident.

This tech demo has been in the game since the first known preview version, and can be accessed with the following GameShark code (final US version SLUS_008.93) 800D7EBC 0009 overriding the Movie Viewer menu option. You can control it with the D-Pad:

• X/Triangle''': Zoom in/zoom out.
• Circle - Stop/continue particle animation.
• R1/L1 - Change particle angle (?)
• Arrows - Rotate camera.

Version Differences#

Watch on YouTube

In the original North American release of the game, the gunslinger enemies that first appear in Al's Penthouse resembled a stereotypical Mexican. They were changed into blonde cowboys in the North American Greatest Hits re-release and the European version. The Dreamcast and Windows ports use the later design, the former worldwide and the latter outside of North America; in the American Windows release, the Gunslinger enemy remains.
