Attachment In addition to being used in the special attack in select stages, the track "Thriller" was intended to be used in full as the BGM for stage 3-2 of the Genesis version, the cemetery level. However, the song was replaced with "Another Part of Me" due to the former song being written by Rod Temperton and not by Jackson himself. A version of the game that included "Thriller" as the 3-2 theme went undiscovered until September 15, 2017, when a collector going by the online handle of "brian the hedgehog" bought a prototype cartridge at a flea market for $20 and uploaded a YouTube video showing off the track as it appears in-game. The cartridge is dated at April 24, 1990, three months prior to the game's initial release.

Attachment In 2002, Pseudo Interactive created an early prototype for a sequel to Cel Damage, entitled "Cel Damaged 2". Pseudo was aiming to fix what was considered wrong with the first game as well as introduce new elements to the game. A character line-up with some of the characters that appeared in the first game was made as well. The game would've featured new characters(their names were not mentioned in the documents). The new characters in order were a caveman, a robot, an Egyptian queen, and a king sheep.

The game was pitched to EA Games, Sega, Ubisoft, and lastly Midway Games. All of which were rejected due to the game's poor performance in sales.

Designer Phillip Campbell stated in an interview with Edge Online that Quantic Dream had at one point intended to feature character animations based on the "signature moves" of David Bowie, who composed the game's soundtrack and voiced Boz and the Dreamers. However, when Bowie stated that he didn't have any signature moves, he brought in his choreographer, Edouard Locke, who was then motion-captured performing Bowie-esque techniques.

Attachment A prototype image of the main character was drawn early in development. It was dropped after the artist, Shigenori Soejima, felt he had added too much and went for something simpler. Another early design of the main character was dropped due to Director Hashino claimed it looked "too professional". Soejima also commented that his initial changes to the design felt too cheap.

Davide Soliani has stated that, when developing the game, one of the major influences for Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle was the Mario Kart series.

“So, we started with the intention of saying we should renew the genre a little bit. We thought that tactical games are known to be slow paced and they tend to be a little niche, so why not try to have something very dynamic and colorful and fast paced. That’s why our first reference was Mario Kart. How cool would it be to try to translate that kind of action into the combat of our game?”


Soliani also explained that the team talked about adding Rayman to the game. It was decided best to leave him out of the game since The Rabbids and Rayman were now separate series.

“We discussed it, but honestly, we thought that the strength of the Rabbids is that they are a white canvas, so you can do pretty much whatever you want. You can come up with crazy ideas and they work. We tried to bring the same spirit into this game. Mr. Miyamoto kept saying, ‘Show me your colors. Show me your Rabbid’s humor even more. Show me how crazy you can be.’ Of course, Rayman was part of the Rabbids games in the past, but now those are two separate universes.”

Attachment SNK created new assets for the loading screens on the Neo-Geo CD version. However, the art style used for said loading screens was considered "too eccentric" by many fans, to the point that they sent letters directly to SNK demanding that they shouldn't use the style anymore. Because of this, the art style used in those loading screens was never used again in future SNK games.
