Croc 2 Sega Dreamcast Version

The Dreamcast version of Croc 2 was intended for release after the Playstation and PC versions, and was to add minigames, a new village with presumably two more normal levels (as per "forty-two levels to play in total"). It is unknown if a prototype exists, but Jez San mentioned the port was "canned" implying development didn't get very far, if at all. It was officially cancelled in Autumn 2000.

Windows 98 version

The Windows 98 version of Croc 2 was meant to be a bridge between the Playstation and the Dreamcast version, containing many changes which were to be present in the Dreamcast version. As such, the prototype pictures of the Dreamcast version may have been pictures from the PC version. Besides having controller mapping, graphical settings and audio settings, the PC version had:

  1. Higher quality and less blocky Croc model
  2. Higher quality textures
  3. Various corrections such as reversing the welcome sign in Oki-Doki and the removal of the back number stamp of Croc's kart.
  4. Removes a beta song in Rescue the Ice-trapped Gobbos level. The song (popularly called Save the Ice Trapped Gobbos 3) was one of many beta songs for both main Croc games and was placed in the game either mistakenly or on purpose to not waste a song. It was cut presumably to save space on the disc, as the size limit of the PC version was nearly met.
  5. Replaces the lower quality blue Swap Meet Pete Card in exchange for a higher quality Purple card.

Minigames

The only thing known about the minigames is that there was more than one to be available.

Cowboy Village

Cowboy Village was probably meant to be the new village in the Dreamcast port. It was meant to be inhabited by the Cowboy Gobbos shown in promotional images. It would have two levels

Cowboy Gobbo

Seen only once in promotional art for Croc 2. He was meant for the cowboy village.

Cut Levels

The game files indicate three levels were cut from the game.
