* DummiedOut: Tons in Jazz Jackrabbit 2, due to rushed production. Everything from secret levels (at least three, including two complete levels) to bosses (one complete and only used in a later bonus pack, another with no attacks and a third that's invisible despite having sprites) to minor enemies (some functional, others not) and powerups ([[EnergyWeapon Frickin' Laser Shield]]!). There's a bunch of unused sprites in the animation file, too, including '3D' views a-la the 3D Bonus Stages in the first game. A complete list can be found [[https://tcrf.net/Jazz_Jackrabbit_2 here]].

* StillbornFranchise: Epic Games had plans to turn ''Jazz Jackrabbit'' into a full-fledged franchise, with an animated television series and a third game that was 3D. The closest that the company ever got to this goal was the second game and the add-ons. Everything else was shelved.

* DevelopmentGag: All over the place.
* FollowTheLeader: The franchise is created in the wake of the ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' craze and it takes so many cues from it, including the mechanics and having an animal mascot with an attitude. [[TropesAreNotBad Not that is is a bad thing,]] because the series curves around these trappings in such a way that the game becomes completely original.
* NoExportForYou: Two bonus packs, ''The Secret Files'' and ''Christmas Chronicles'', both for ''Jazz 2'', were Europe-only releases until the game was rereleased on GOG.com.
* {{Vaporware}}: ''Two'' different versions of ''Jazz 3(D)''. Bonus pack ''The Secret Files'' was this for a few years before suddenly appearing ([[NoExportForYou but only in Europe]]).
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: ''Jazz Jackrabbit 3(D)'', full stop.
