Given that Miyamoto gave the idea to retool the game into Star Fox Adventures a week before E3, I think they would have definitely finished the game and dropped it around an early 2001 release, maybe December 2000 even.

Dinosaur Planet really stuck with me when the prototype leaked, seeing all those areas that got cut and the soundtrack especially made me more sore about SFA, which I played back in 2010 knowing full well what happened behind the scenes and I tried to see some worth in what the final product offered. Seeing the prototype, I really wish they stuck with DP.
>Krystal reduced to the prologue instead of half the game alongside Sabre
>Kyte was reduced to a small cameo and you wouldn't even know it was her, she got fucked over the hardest because her mother and siblings survived, the irony given her mother was killed in the original story
>Sabre cut completely, Randorn cut completely
>General Scales didn't get his intended fight due to the retool, then lost a second chance at a fight due to the buyout
>Drakor, the main villain, was made into Scales' and Andross' lackey, no lines or dialogue, his entire backstory with the Kamerian Heart and Krazoa war scrubbed
>Krazoa were the real villains in the story, Quan Ata Lachu plot and actual Krazoa Palace was cut
>75% of Cape Claw was cut, Krystal's areas were cut, The SwapStone's brother was cut, actual spells were cut, etc.
So much was lost, even in its unfinished state DP is better than SFA. Nothing was retained going forward from that game minus Krystal, and she disappeared from the series after 2006.

I don't blame the gay SF fans for lashing out against Krystal, long-term, Adventures did not help the series grow.
