List of Unreleased JumpStart Media

This article is for listing any official JumpStart media that was canceled during production. This includes rejected concepts for JumpStart products (from official staff/sources), media that was in development but never finished, or media that finished production but was never formally released. Please keep in mind that there is often not a lot of information about these sorts of projects, and personal speculation should be avoided on this article as much as possible.

These projects are also not to be confused with pre-release and unused content, which refers to parts of a released product that are removed, changed, or left unused in the final product.

JumpStart Field Trip
Concept art for a game called JumpStart Field Trip was shared by JumpStart employee Megumi Itoh on her website. The artwork depicts an Advanced series-styled Frankie with various buildings such as an aquarium, astronomy building, and a dinosaur building. It is unknown if the game was ever developed beyond this concept art.

JumpStart Pet Party
JumpStart Pet Party is a cancelled JumpStart game that was planned to be released for the Nintendo DS circa 2011.

Very little is known about the game currently, including how far into production it was at the time of cancellation. What is known is that it received an E rating from the ESRB in 2011, and cover art for the game was produced by JumpStart staff. The game would have presumably centered around Petz given its title and cover art.

JumpStart Advanced Comic
Sometime in the early 2000s, JumpStart artist John Nunnemacher pitched an idea for a JumpStart comic based on the Advanced series. He created two full-color pages for the pitch. According to Nunnemacher, the comics were intended to be "an inexpensive way to develop the core characters and expand their marketing reach, as well as promote reading skills for children." However, JumpStart executives turned down the idea, so it stopped development. Additionally, the full-size pages for the comic pitch appear to be lost, so only a small thumbnail image of them remains.
