Originally made for the Nintendo 64 as "Dinosaur Planet" with no relation to the Star Fox franchise, Star Fox Adventures is the last game made by Rare for a Nintendo console (handheld consoles aside) and the only Rare game released for the Gamecube. It also has a somewhat divisive reaction, due to its departure from the Star Fox formula.

Saurian Language Clips - Krystal

Saurian: A'lo wek u rut voocadw ureik kxaj.
English: I've got a bad feeling about this.
Might have been used for when Krystal gets on the Galleon.

Saurian: A'm weadw ke xaut adjato.
English: I'm going to head inside.
Would have been for when Krystal entered into the Krazoa Palace.

Early Staff Intro

Used in early builds of the game, this was re-written for the final version. Also, instead of being in the Saurian language, it is in English and is filtered as if it were listened via radio. The text seen here was ripped from GAMETEXT.BIN.

"If you are receiving this message then I am in great danger."
"The staff you hold in your hands is a powerful weapon."
"You must learn to use it wisely."

"It will give you guidance when it's powers can be used."

"This is not all the staff can do;"
"You have the ability to upgrade it's powers."

"When it glows with a magical force"
"and you can feel its call through your hands,"
"it is a sign that a Spirit Cave is beneath you."
"If you can enter this cave then the upgrade will be found within."

"Take care of my staff and it will take care of you."

Alternate Cutscenes

Sound	Character	Transcript/Text
	General Scales	"You dare to bring the Fox here?"
	General Scales	"It is something you will live to regret my Queen!"
	Queen CloudRunner	"My tribe will never join you Scales..." "...you're just a fool."
	Fox	"She's the Queen?"
	General Scales	"I assure you Queen, now I have all of the SpellStones, Dinosaur Planet will soon be mine!"
NO VOICE CLIP	Queen CloudRunner (?)	"Aaaaah!"
	General Scales	"For the last time, surrender your Fortress!"
	Queen CloudRunner	"Never."
	General Scales	"Enough. Show the Queen how we deal with traitor's. Take her away!"

An alternate version of the conversation between Scales and the Queen Cloudrunner, after the latter gets captured. In the game, the Queen Cloudrunner announces her status while in Cape Claw, before Fox enters the CloudRunner Fortress.

Sound	Character	Transcript/Text
	Fox	"Tricky, what's happened?"
	Tricky	"It was the SharpClaws. They came here after I was kidnapped."
	Queen Earthwalker	"Son, I am dying ... the Healing Mushrooms ... they are my only hope ..."
	Tricky	"The Healing Mushrooms only grow inside the ancient well"
	Fox	"Let's go, there's no time to lose!"

Part of an early cutscene for when Tricky finds his mom ill.

Sound	Character	Transcript/Text
	Fox	Oh no...
	General Scales	Fox McCloud, savior of Dinosaur Planet. I feel I should be honored.
	Fox	It's over, Scales. The tribes are gathering strength. You will never rule Dinosaur Planet.
	Fox	"She's the Queen?"
	General Scales	We shall see, but one thing is for certain. Tomorrow, the Lylat system will be mourning your loss.
	General Scales	Open fire.
	Falco	Hey, McCloud. Still lying down on the job?
	Falco	Different time, different planet, and I’m still saving your butt. Good to see you old friend.
	Fox	Falco?! Is that really you?
	Falco	I heard about your mission and though you might need some help… for a small fee of course!
	Falco	Now let’s kick his scaly tail!

In the final game, the battle with General Scales ends abruptly and he is more or less made redundant by Andross. Even during the short 'battle' with General Scales, he doesn't do much of anything. Falco meets up with Fox during the battle with Andross, not at the final Krazoa shrine.

Misc. Unused Content

Cheat Token: Throw me 20 Scarabs and you can replay a boss.

No cheat token well allows the player to replay boss battles in the final game.

Fox: Skeetlas!
Tricky:Fox, look!

Fox: The General wants the key. I will take it to him.

Fox has to get his staff out in the final, not ask for a key. Also, he never speaks during his meet-up with the guard in the final game.

Unused Text

Inside GAMETEXT.bin, there is an early script for the game, with several differences from the final version and even including leftovers from when it was Dinosaur Planet.

"How about playing a little game?"
"The rules are simple... Choose how many Scarabs you wish to gamble."
"I will throw them into this cave and you have to collect them within my time limit."

Same as the final version, except "The rules are simple" was omitted.

"Okay,whats with all the noise?"
"I am here with the rest of Starfox Team,"
"We have come to save your planet."
"Queen calls out"
"Vesujo, ohw ehj Miyzh.Ho jicz ohw mho Jehd."
"SCALES Kuzt szojh.Ku Bawd Kuztem ICEMOUNTAIN."
"I am sorry lady, but I can not understand what you are saying."

An early version of Fox's introduction to Queen EarthWalker, most likely. The dialogue is very different, including a piece of dialogue that written in some early Saurian language.

"You're lucky it's a hot spring or you'd be frozen by now."
"Why you little ..."
"Hey, I wouldn't if I were you, my dad's a King EarthWalker and he'll bash you up!"
"I don't think he'll be doing any bashing, he's been captured."
"That's why I've been sent to rescue you!"
"He's been captured?"
"That's right! So stop moaning and let's get you back to your home!"

The last line was re-written to say "That's right! It was your mother that sent me to find you." and the cutscene was expanded so that Tricky and Fox talk about Queen EarthWalker's illness. Also, note the lack of dino speak, making it likely that it's a Dinosaur Planet leftover.

"I cannot let you in yet."
"The Store Keeper has gone out to get supplies."

This never happens in the final game, as the shop keeper is always within the store.

"And Fox, I think you're going to need some extra supplies."
"Go back to the WarpStone."
"Maybe the ShopKeeper has come back and opened his store"
"OK, enough already."
"Can I just get on with it!"

Early dialogue for the end of the conversation between Fox and the Queen Earthwalker. In the final game, she drops a key for Fox. The dialogue here merely mentions that Fox should buy some items from the store and that the shopkeeper would have been gone for a while.

"They sent you to rescue me? ... Hmmpphh."
"The SharpClaws haven't fed me in days so I'm feeling a bit weak."
"If you bring me 12 Frost Weeds I'll be able to get myself out."
"Hurry boy, I'm starving in here!"

Garunda Te only needs three frost weeds to break free in the final game, although he doesn't mention how many of them are needed. The dialogue is also worded differently.

"Who are you?"
"My name is Fox, and this is the Crown Prince of the EarthWalkers."
"We have been sent by the SnowHorn Guardian to find the SpellStone."
"Do you know where it's hidden?"
"My name is Belina Te. The Guardian is my father."
"Did he send you to rescue me?"
"I'm sorry Belina, but he feels you have dishonoured the Guardians."
"We were only sent to find the SpellStone."
"The old fool. I had to save the tribe."
"If it wasn't for my father being a Guardian,"
"none of this would have happened in the first place!"

What's odd about this dialogue is that Garunda is still said to be a guardian, but the dialogue is otherwise similar to what's in the final game.

"To power the Jet Bike push forwards on the"
"CONTROL STICK to go faster."
"Pull back to slow down."
"Dodge left and right to avoid obstacles and beat"
"the SharpClaws!"

In the final game, there are no instructions as to how to use the jet bike.

",�t?QWake up!"
"Somebody coming."
"Here we go!"

This is the same dialogue used when first going to Moon Mt. Pass, but the last line was removed.

"You dare to bring the Fox here?"
"It is something you will live to regret my Queen!"
"My tribe will never join you Scales..."
"...you're just a fool."
"?"
"She's the Queen?"
"??"
"?"
"I assure you Queen, now I have all of the SpellStones, Dinosaur Planet will soon be mine!"
"Aaaaah!"
"For the last time, surrender your Fortress!"
"Never."
"??"
"Enough. Show the Queen how we deal with traitor's. Take her away!"

An early conversation between General Scales and Queen Cloudrunner. The dialogue is very different from the final game.

"?BOSS"
"GALADON"

Galadon is probably an early name for either Galleon (the ship Scales rides on in the intro) or Galdon.

"PGrab the key, but don't wake the Sharpclaw."

In the final game, Fox has to get his staff back rather than get a key.

"?If you find my children I will be so happy!"
?
"?If you find all four of my children you will be greatly rewarded.  Please hurry!"

The queen simply never says this.

"?�?�?�?�?�?THE LIGHTFOOT TESTS"
"TOTEM POLE TEST"
"Activate all four Totem Poles| within the Lightfoot Village.| Beat Musclefoot's all time record| of 4m 30secs to pass the test"
"THE TEST OF STRENGTH"
"Rapidly press the A button| to compete against| the mighty Musclefoot.| Only the strongest can| push him into the pit!"

In the final game, the player is given 2 min. and 30 secs. to complete the totem pole test (or the Tracking Test, as it's called in the game). The Test of Strength's descriptions is nearly the same as the final version, but it shows a graphic of the A button rather than simply putting it in text and the Musclefoot isn't described as "mighty".

"Thanks for saving my eggs. They will be ready to hatch soon."

Presumably saved after saving a Thorntail's eggs. She doesn't say this.

"FOX MC CLOUD!"
"Will you stand and fight?"
"Or run like a coward."

This might have been said during the boss battle with General Scales.
