An early prototype of Cocoto Platform Jumper for the Sony PlayStation 2.

Notes

The game was just called "Cocoto"
A cheat menu is accessible by inputting the following code in-game: R1 + Square and Start.
It was said that there are more levels in the prototype^[1], but they do not start due to missing level folders.
The Abyss has 1 level instead of 6 in the final.
There are quite a lot of sounds (mainly for Cerber, the Abyss and Volcano) but they are left unused.
The Volcano was called the Hell even though the level selection world image had it called "Volcano Land" ^[2]
There are unused graphics, especially a map texture present in every level.
The title screen, which have some left overs from Charlie's Angels (PS2)^[3] contains the most of them, especially early versions of other textures. It also includes early animations for the characters.^[4]
The presence of cactuses and an unused sand graphic in the Atlantis land could indicate that it was originally a desert world. Turns out it is also a left over from Charlie's Angels^[5].
The is used much more.

Level selection of the Cocoto Platform Jumper November 18 2003 prototype. The selected save is the Heaven, that can only be chosen using the Cheat Code menu.
Battle mode of the Cocoto Platform Jumper November 18 2003 prototype. Notice that the Volcano background is the same as the title screen. The health indicator was different.
Atlantis level. Ice platforms, Fairy, Cocoto, cactuses and a jumper can be seen.
You had to touch Fairy to finish the level. The level cleared music would play and Cocoto would fly instead of playing the animation. If the timer hits 0, thee water rises beyond the last platform, even if you reached it. It was fixed in the release.
Screenshot of the Race mode, where Cocoto and Shiny are on the finish platform. Notice that the jumper's texture stayed the same in every world like in the GBA port (based on the beta). The side texture of the finish platform stood unchanged in the final release.
This BOSS level is accessible using cheats on the Cocoto Platform Jumper November 18 2003 prototype. The normally unused boss music (3rd in music data) plays in the level. Depending on the loaded geometry and elements, the decor will change. Boss levels are unbeatable due to the elements not including any boss, whereas other levels allow the checkpoint Fairy to appear.

↑ Xindictive From what i saw, the levels like the hell/volcano one were just empty Just the starting platform and background

There is a lot of ressemblence with the prototype's menus. The naming of the game saves stood in the prototype until the beta.
↑ It is insanely hard to see the animations. First, it is needed to have the PC port of Cocoto Platform Jumper to be able to do file-swaps easily. Then, to choose a level (preferably a battle level, for example jungle battle) level to replace its geometry data (L34.PC in the case of Jungle Battle) with the prototype FRONT END/Title Screen level geometry L40.PC (Texture data and offset data must not be loaded, or the game will crash.) You need to select either the charactes with names Baggy or Neuro before starting the game. It is because the early animations are stored in their early models, which were Shiny duplicates. The animations are now hard to see due to the title screen cave geometry being sideways.

‎ There are some other early animations used in the game, but they are either much closer to their final version, or very minor: The checkpoint Fairy animation does not move in its final version, only vertically. / A early iteration of the character's idle looking exists, which wasn't removed until the late beta. It is also still in the GBA port of the game.
