JumpStart ABC's/Pre-release and Unused Content

This is a list of pre-release and unused content from JumpStart ABC's.

Unused AutoRun Screen
The game's folder for the AutoPlay launch menu contains an alternative background. The unused background is derived from a standard design for JumpStart autorun screens in the late 90s. The final release's background uses artwork specific to this game.

Scrapped Responsibility Singalong
A preview for JumpStart ABC's and JumpStart Learning Games Phonics depicted a brief clip of a singalong sequence of the Responsibility song from JumpStart Preschool: Who Left the Juice in the Caboose?, which presumably would've appeared in the Band Stand Sing-Along activity. However, in the final release of JumpStart ABC's, Responsibility isn't listed with the other songs, and the digital manual makes no mention of it either. It appears that although a singalong sequence for it was originally planned, it was scrapped before the game was released, for unknown reasons.

One of the game's files supports this as well. "Lsa.dxr", which contains assets for the Band Stand activity, also contains an unused voice clip of Hopsalot saying "responsibility" (included below). This appears with the other voice clips of Hopsalot saying the names of the songs listed at the Band Stand, so it was presumably left over from when Responsibility was still planned to appear in the game.



Character Changes
The game's digital manual image for the Pizza Palace activity depicts Casey with green eyes. In the final release, his eyes are black during this activity instead.

JumpStart Train Station Sketch
A sketch of the JumpStart Train Station activity appears in the file "LTS.dxr".
