Attachment After Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal, Insomniac was planning to announce another Ratchet & Clank game called Ratchet & Clank: Nexus. The idea was scrapped and instead Insomniac released Ratchet: Deadlocked (Ratchet: Gladiator in Europe) which used some features from Ratchet & Clank: Nexus. The name Ratchet & Clank: Nexus may have also inspired the name for Ratchet & Clank: Into the Nexus.

Attachment In earlier versions of the game, the lab in Termina: Great Bay could be entered from both sides, and characters could stand on top of it. This idea was eventually canned and the laboratory was closed and moved to the background. However, the lab still has some textures and models of some pipes inside of it, likely remnants from the initial idea.

Attachment Early in development, there was going to be an enemy named "Tramplin' Stu", another iteration of Stu in the game. The Tramplin' Stu was supposed to spawn Swoopin' and Strollin' Stu behind it as it walked. To defeat a Tramplin' Stu, you must fill it with water so that the outer shell pops, then you stomp on the eye on top of it. The data for Tramplin' Stu can be found in a test map where it shows up correctly, but without its shell. Tramplin' Stu shows up correctly with its shell when moved to the Delfino plaza map.

Company: id Software

ID software actually created the first side scrolling platformer on a computer. Before then, computers had a hard time redrawing the background like the NES did. To solve this problem, John Carmack thought to just redraw the important parts of the background instead of the entire background. "Since the sky is always blue, why redraw it?" To test this out, him and his friends, John Romero and Tom Hall, recreated Super Mario Bros. 3 pixel by pixel, by hand, which they shipped to Nintendo hoping to gain authorization to make an official port. This would latter become the template to the game Commander Keen.
