Notes

The Cutting Room Floor research

This prototype has a research article on TCRF.

• The original preview copy from SCEA was given to a magazine for only a few hours for preview purposes. They weren't allowed to keep the original disc, so the disc was returned back to SCEA. This dump was made from a copy (see scan) of that disc made by someone of the magazine staff.
• The music is completely absent from this build, though data for some tracks can be found in the game files.
• The level-completion screen is absent. The game simply sends the player back to the map.
• There are no gems in this build, and as such there are no gem paths.
• Press R1 + L1 in the main menu to unlock all levels.
• Pressing R1 + L1 in-game makes Crash invincible to all dangers, except for pits and water/acid.
