Attachment A PC version of the game was in development titled Seaman for Windows Ver. 1.0, and unlike the Dreamcast version which was a game, it would've been more of a communication tool and a pet for your desktop. The program would automatically run when turning on your PC and speak to you in the background. Seaman would also interact with your email, chat features, and other PC tasks. The game was, however, never released.

Franchise: Crash Bandicoot

Attachment A kart racer was planned to be released along side the cancelled "Crash Landed", the game was being lead by High Impact Games, a studio mostly comprised of former Naughty Dog and Insomniac Games employees. The game would have featured a number of returning characters, including Crash Bandicoot, Dingodile, and the long awaited return of Polar. A new character know simply as "Land Shark" was to be introduced. High Impact Games decided to introduce a dynamic kart modding system, in which the player could equip their character's kart with a number of crazy gadgets, including "Crab Tires" for good speed on sand, "Octopus Tires" to suction onto vertical surfaces, "Pig Engine" to belch their way to first place, and many more wacky gadgets. Unfortunately when Activision made the call to cancel "Crash Landed", the same went for this game.

The game was originally going to have an international release, but was eventually cancelled due to unknown reasons. It's believed the cancellation was due to copyright issues surrounding the names of the characters' Stands, all of which are musical references (i.e Gold Experience is named after the Prince album of the same name).

The game was supposed to demonstrate how the Game Boy Advance could be used with the GameCube as a controller. The game used a special cartridge in the Game Boy Advance to detect tilting. Kirby was removed as the mascot, and the game was reworked as 'Roll-o-Rama'. It's unknown why the project was cancelled.

Attachment After the launch of Mario Strikers Charged, Next Level Games had pitched to Nintendo a Mario volleyball game titled Super Mario Spikers. Referred to during development as simply Mario Volleyball, it was to be a mix of volleyball and wrestling mechanics, and was presented with hints of a TV game show. It was intended for the Wii and work began on it around the end of 2006. Development was canceled in 2007 after the pitch had failed with Nintendo. The game was financed as a reward from the studio's previous work on the Strikers games, and the volleyball mechanic was thought to have been reused for Mario Sports Mix.
