This page includes all of the unused content from Carmageddon II: Carpocalypse Now.

Power Ups

Main article: Power Ups in Carmageddon II

Amongst the regular powerups, there are some that can be activated with cheats, but not found in-game, and others that are found in the game's string files.

  • Turbo cops: Leftover from the original game, doesn't work because the Cop system wasn't implemented.
  • Frozen cops: Same as above.
  • Cloaking Device: Partially unused; it grants credits in single-player, despite never being obtainable by normal means in that mode.
  • Got 'im in the Bollocks: A remnant from the Splat Pack, being unused in that game as well.

Ron Dumpster

What the Digga probably looked like.
Main article: Ron Dumpster

When the player completes the game in any difficulty, they unlock all available vehicles, including some that don't enter races normally. Amongst those lies Ron Dumpster, and selecting him in the garage will reveal that he has no picture. This is because the car isn't implemented in the game; it had to be cut off from the final version of Carmageddon II. Trying to play as him leads to a crash.


Steel gonad o' death

Max Damage in the SGoD form.
Main article: Steel gonad o' death

This weird mode is very mysterious, and can only be activated with cheat codes.

When in this mode, the car transforms into a giant indestructible ball (hence gonad). This ball is hard to control, but it packs a brute force.


Strings

  • In TEXT.TXT:
    • No other cars to choose from yet, Original driver was, Your original car and Car added to change car list - Lines 35 - 37 and 171; these messages would appear if Carmageddon II were to use the stealworthy mechanic.
    • WRONG TEXT.TXT - Lines 135 - 139 and 170; even though there's less of these lines than in Carmageddon, they're still present.
    • Lines 195 - 201; thanks to what is likely a glitch, this text doesn't appear anywhere. These are multiplayer modes' descriptions.
    • This car already taken by - Line 205; this doesn't seem to be used, because one can't choose which car to use in a net game.
    • Tried to cheat! and Managed to cheat!!! - Lines 225 and 226; writing a cheat during a net game has no effect.
    • Ped Cam and Drone Cam - Lines 268 and 269; two unused camera modes.

Other things

  • There is data for the credits per rank for each difficulty, found in GENERAL.TXT. Carmageddon II doesn't use ranks.
  • Remnants from Carmageddon's circle, diamond and square powerup icon fadeouts are inside data\64x48x8\POWERUPS.TWT.
  • A lot of unused sound files can be found in the SOUND folder. They are identified on the sound files page.
  • A pedestrian based on Lara Croft (named Cara Loft) was meant to appear on the El Morte Desert, as evidenced by the string DES7 // Name of Ped / Cara Loft - Notorious artifact thief and fellow animal killer. found in line 772 of DATA\PEDS\SETTINGS.TXT. This ped doesn't exist in the normal game, but textures for a zombie Lara Croft do exist in the censored versions. [1]
  • The string Let the carnage continue... in line 25 of TEXT.TXT is unused in Carmageddon II. In the original Carmageddon, the message is only partially unused, appearing if one turns off the Nice and Fluffy mode.
