In the Random Facts section, it says:

1: Once upon a time, Croc wasn't as we know him now - he was the star of a dinosaur-themed racing game that was intended to be released on the ill-fated SNES CD-ROM drive add-on. In fact, at one time, Croc was not Croc, nor was he in his own game - he 'evolved' from Nintendo's Yoshi!

I find this very interesting.

However, this is all I've ever heard about this. Does anyone have any more info regarding this?

Nope, because that's all I've ever heard about it, too. Straight from the mouths of the folks at Argonaut, back in the day, at that.

I would imagine that the chances are that the game in question never got off the drawing board, though.

I read this in the Random Facts section too. Interesting, and I always saw a similarity between Croc and Yoshi.. I once had a Yoshi figure (back when I wasn't familiar with Mario, but I knew what it was) and I knew it wasn't Croc, but I imagined it was.

I'm glad this game was scrapped and Croc became what he did.
