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<ref>Xindictive

From what i saw, the levels like the hell/volcano one were just empty

Just the starting platform and background</ref>, 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" <ref>[[File:SLES-66666 ( ) Level Select Volcano.png|frameless|195x195px]]</ref>
* 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)'''''<ref>[[File:CharliesAngelMenuScreenshot.png|left|thumb|222x222px|There is a lot of ressemblence with the prototype's menus. The naming of the game saves stood in the prototype until the beta.]]
</ref> contains the most of them, especially early versions of other textures. It also includes early animations for the characters.<ref>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.

[[File:CocotoPlatformJumper_Unused_Animation_1.png|none|thumb|216x216px]]
‎
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.</ref>
* 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<ref>[[File:Capture d'écran 2025-04-07 092616.png|frameless|200x200px]] - [[File:Capture d'écran 2025-04-07 091845.png|frameless|200x200px]]

</ref>.
* The [[File:Cocoto- Platform Jumper "G" symbol.png|frameless|21x21px]] is used much more.

Cocoto Platform Jumper Nov 18 2003 Prototype's unused early animation force-loaded in Cocoto Platform Jumper PC port.

File:SLES-66666 ( ) Hell Boss.png

2026-04-06T17:14:28Z

IzzBloxian:

This BOSS level is accessible using cheats on the Cocoto Platform Jumper November 18 2003 prototype.

It requires to freeze the 2 main level elements & geometry adresses (201C8038 - 201DAF48) to any level that exists beside the title screen 40.

Then, to freeze adress 201F4380 value to 7 (which is the L7 = Hell BOSS which level data is absent from the prototype) and to leave the current level either by finishing it, or by starting any game if on the title screen.

The level will start playing with the music, and a boss health counter, but due to the level elements and geometry not being the correct ones, the boss never spawn.

2025-01-20T16:28:07Z

IzzBloxian: Added some info. It looks more like a CPJ prototype than a Cocoto Kart Racer one even though the MAIN.elf/Rainbow.elf file references vehicles.

==Notes==
* A port to the Xbox was never released.
* Contains some files for a PS2 version.
* Does not boot in a Retail or Developer Kit.
* The "data" folder contains pre-release assets for ''Cocoto Platform Jumper'', including all the necessary files for the game.
* It features a "Hell" folder and a "VOLCANO" folder, which are essentially the same. The "VOLCANO" folder includes levels with minor differences from the beta version.
