Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance
Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance (2002)

Attachment Mavado's design originally resembled a matador, as part of an overall Spanish theme -- his name was "Malvado", meaning "evil man" in Spanish and Portuguese. This was changed because the developers felt that his appearance didn't fit in with the Mortal Kombat universe, and they redesigned him to give him a darker persona.

Franchise: Crash Bandicoot

The character Nina Cortex was created by Traveller's Tales Oxford Studios for Crash Nitro Kart. However, Vicarious Visions was assigned to develop the game instead, so TT-Oxford planned to debut Nina in Twinsanity. However, when screenshots of Crash Fusion (developed by Vicarious Visions) revealed that Nina would appear in that game, TT-Oxford was shocked, as they had not been asked or even notified that their work would be used in another game, which would release even before their own.

While Crash Nitro Kart was developed by Vicarious Visions, Naughty Dog is also credited as participating in development. The game also saw the return of the duo behind the majority of the concepts for Crash Bandicoot: Joe Pearson (who refused to work on any other games with Naughty Dog, because of not receiving proper credit for his original work) and Charles Zembillas.

Attachment Storyboards were produced for a pirate ship sequence, and Dirk would have faced an octopus and the Pirate King. While this sequence did not make it into the game, there is a pirate flag in the pile of objects that Dirk pours out of his bag at the end of the page, suggesting that the pirate ship sequence was cut after the ending was produced.

It only contains a short, curved hallway, four pillars, and a coffin. Instead of removing it, the developers just blocked off the entrance.

Attachment There are signs that the Well Stacked Pizza Co. from Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas was originally meant to reappear in the game:

• Outside the store "Pizza This", the employees are still seen sporting the logo and some with "Well Stacked Pizza Co." on the back of their shirts.
• Logos and names of Well Stacked Pizza can be found at a shuttered storefront at the Alderney Casino in Westdyke, Alderney.
• The chain is mentioned on the Pißwasser website as a business partner of the beer company.
• When blocking the route of certain taxis, the driver will sometimes shout lines such as "Hurry up, I need to get to Well Stacked!" and on occasion "My Pizza Stack's gettin cold, move it!"
• Pedestrian-to-pedestrian dialog will occasionally involve whether Pizza Stack or Burger Shot is better.

During one of the powerboat outings with Brucie Kibbutz, he will call the Statue of Happiness the "Statue of Freedom", while the subtitles still say "Statue of Happiness." This suggests that the statue might have had a different name during development, but the audio file did not get changed to reflect the statue's final name.

The Proton Pack in the Realistic version of Ghostbusters: The Video Game has a set of blinking lights on the left side of the Blue Chaser Lights. These lights were inspired by Ray's (Dan Aykroyd) Proton Pack from the first Ghostbusters Film.

These lights aren't actually on the Proton Pack, but are a result of the paint on the Proton Pack's shell being chipped away and the adjacent lights shining through. The lights were still added to the game's Proton Pack anyway.
