This dungeon has a new area called the Frozen Cliffs, which uses “Singing Mountain” as its theme. Once the player completes the game, they will unlock a new post-story dungeon, called the Dimensional Vortex. The Song Returns In Chrono Trigger DSĬhrono Trigger received a port to the Nintendo DS in 2008, which included brand new content. These maps were replaced in the final version of the game with the ones used for the Black Omen, so fans would never have seen them if it weren’t for the leaked demo.

Singing Mountain lacks any enemies or treasure chests, but it does contain a large open area, a map full of small caves, and a final walkway area that would likely have housed a boss battle. Singing Mountain was a dungeon from the prehistoric era that used similar visuals to Heckran’s Cave, with the water being turned into lava. The most interesting piece of cut content in the demo build is an incomplete version of the Singing Mountain dungeon, which includes the song as its background theme. The Cutting Room Floor contains a detailed breakdown of the altered content in the demo. The demo cartridge was later uploaded to the Internet and fans datamined its content.

Square Enix has admitted that it never kept the source codes for its old games, so people expecting Nintendo Gigaleak content for old Final Fantasy games are out of luck. The Leaked Demo Buildįans were given a glimpse of the original plans for “Singing Mountain” years later. According to the Chrono Wiki, Mitsuda explained that “Singing Mountain” was meant for a dungeon that was cut from the final version of the game, as it didn’t contain any plot-relevant problems that needed solving. The mystery behind “Singing Mountain” was cleared up in an interview with Mitsuda. The song was called “Singing Mountain” and it was the 24th song on the soundtrack, between “Magus Confronted” and “Tyranno Lair.” The song’s placement on the soundtrack led fans to believe that it was meant to be used in the prehistoric era of Chrono Trigger, after the party is accidentally sent back in time during the battle with Magus. It didn’t take long for the fans to notice that one of the songs on the Chrono Trigger soundtrack wasn’t actually in the game. Square Enix would often release the soundtracks for its games on CD or vinyl.
