A handful of scrapped Castle Crashers ideas were shared publicly, and I planned to have two of those added to DevEleven's Insane Mode Survival Guide. Here's the one that didn't make the cut.
"I wanted to have another reference. So, y'know how he cries, (and then he-) and then he steals the princess and runs off? (There was-) I wanted to rework the scene in hindsight, and I wanted it to be where instead of him coming out of the bathroom, the princess goes to escape through an elevator, (and when she- and when she op-) and when the door opens, she falls back and she's scooting backwards as the Cyclops walks up to her and takes her." - Dan Paladin, Reckerless Interview

I kept the bathroom bit with Cyclops because I misinterpreted what Dan said. I thought there'd be a separate elevator scene and that wouldn't explain how Cyclops knew that Groom died, but Cyclops would've seen his dead body if he came out of the elevator the princess entered. Though takin' the idea in this direction allows us to see Cyclops mourn over his buddy and a funny ass bitch slap. Too bad I forgot to add fire to those candelabras. I don't think I can live anymore for that blunder.
Have a look at DevEleven's Insane Mode Survival Guide for another idea cut from the game brought to life, or just to watch a digestible, to-the-point, info-dumped celebration of Castle Crashers in the form of an Insane Mode guide.
