9 Scrapped Bosses Used In Other Video Games
6. Crash Bandicoot's Tiny Tiger & The Komodo Brothers - Crash Bandicot 2: Cortex Strikes Back
The Crash Bandicoot franchise boasts a host of memorable bosses, two of which are undeniably Tiny Tiger and the Komodo Brothers from the fantastic second game, Cortex Strikes Back. And yet, it turns out that both of these bosses are cast-offs from the first game's development.
Unused cartoon clips originally intended to be included in the original game fleetingly show both bosses hanging out with Dr. Neo Cortex. Tiny Tiger, however, was actually originally known as "Tazmanian Tiger" and later just "Taz Tiger."
Series composer Josh Mancell even eventually released an unused track he composed for a boss fight in the first game against one of the brothers, Joe, but when the Komodo Brothers were brought back for Crash 2, he wrote an entirely new tune from scratch.
Given that the original Crash was already a pretty stacked and challenging game as it is, it was probably for the best to save these bosses for the sequel.
