Underwater Level
Scattered in the DUMMY.DAT are mentions of an underwater level that was seen in an early preview video and screenshots, but completely removed in the final. This is the only build that mentions them.
Barrel Water Bobbing Barrel Underwater Big Blocking Barrel Underwater Exploding Box Underwater Pushable Cannon Underwater Sea Monster Water Explode Model
In addition to this, a strange song name, KWaterMine also exists. Since the original entrance bears a resemblance to a mine, it's very likely that this is the working title.
Removed Mechanics
Code for a raft not present in the final (Croc uses a Boat instead, although early screenshots show Croc using a raft).

Removed Enemies
Monkey
Mentions of an unused enemy seen in early screenshots are also present. This would place them in the level, Save the Bird from the Thief.

Drill Mouse
Code for a mouse enemy that has also been spotted on a couple of early screenshots.

Mine Cart Dantini
Not found in the final game is this coding for a mine cart Dantini. On the cover of the game, there is a Dantini which could be what this enemy was intended to be.
