{{Game Infobox |image=Jazz3d titlescreen.jpg |caption=Title Screen |developer=World Tree Games<br/>Epic Games |publisher= |platform=Windows, PlayStation 2 |release=Unreleased }} '''''Jazz Jackrabbit 3''''' (alternatively called ''Jazz Jackrabbit 3D'' or simply ''Jazz3D'', subtitled Adventures of a Mean Green Hare) is the unreleased third installment in the ''Jazz Jackrabbit'' series. Spearheaded by [[Dean Dodrill|Dean "Noogy" Dodrill]] (an animator for Jazz Jackrabbit 2) and coded by World Tree Games, it was developed for the original Unreal Engine technology in 1999. Like many other mascot characters of the late 90s, Jazz would venture into the realm of 3D for the first time. The game was originally slated to be released in 2000, but since Epic was unable to find a publisher the game was ultimately cancelled. Gathering of Developers, which published [[Jazz Jackrabbit 2]], refused to publish this game due to reportedly low sales of ''Jazz 2''. ==Gameplay== ''Jazz Jackrabbit 3'' is a third person shooter. Jazz can jump, sprint, and fire his weapon or charge up for more powerful shots similar to games like later ''Mega Man'' and ''Mega Man X'' titles. Jazz's arsenal can be expanded using coins collected to purchase new weapons and combine them with Elemental "Dream Cells" to create various weapon effects. In the alpha, only Fire and Ice Dream Cells can be acquired, and usable with two guns (the standard Blaster and the Gizmo Gun). While only Jazz is playable in the current build, Spaz and Lori were also planned to be playable, as they were in ''Jazz Jackrabbit 2''. ==Story== Following the events of ''Jazz Jackrabbit 2'', Jazz and his wife, Eva Earlong, settle down in Carrotus Castle to rule the planet and have children. The game ties in with ''Jazz 2'', starting with a battle between Jazz and Devan in a 2D environment, either in cutscene form or actual gameplay. (A story board for one such cutscene was drawn, but never animated.) The premise has Jazz and his wife with kids, which Devan comes to kidnap. Devan is successful in snatching the kids away, taking them into an alternate universe using the Time Machine (converted to a Dimensional Machine) from ''Jazz 2''. This alternate universe turns out to be the 3rd Dimension, and of course, Jazz must venture into the 360-degree world to rescue his children. During the search, Devan uses the kid's dreams against Jazz. ==Characters== *'''[[Jazz Jackrabbit]]''': The series' hero would return as the game's protagonist. Now the King of Carrotus, Jazz would embark on a journey to save his children from Devan. *'''[[Spaz Jackrabbit]]''' and '''[[Lori Jackrabbit]]''': Jazz's brother and sister would appear again as playable characters, helping Jazz on his quest. *'''[[Eva Earlong]]''': Now the Queen of Carrotus and Jazz's wife, Eva would serve as a supporting character. *'''[[Razz ma Taz]]''': A new supporting character and Eva's cousin, Razz is an inventor who would make Jazz new vehicles to reach later areas/levels. *'''[[Cosmo]]''': The game's planned first boss, he is an underling of Devan who made the machine he uses on Jazz's children. *'''[[Hook Lee]]''': The game's planned second boss, after being rescued by Jazz and Razz he would become another supporting character. *'''[[Jazz's Children]]''': The children of Jazz and Eva who got kidnapped by Devan. *'''[[Devan Shell]]''': Devan would once again reprise his role as the main villain and final boss of the game. ==Gallery== <gallery> Will lizard-sm.jpg Will rabbit-sm.jpg IMG 20181129 104120.jpg Razz-sm.jpg JJ3 ice-sm.jpg Will turtle-sm.jpg </gallery> ==External Links== * [http://www.jazz2online.com/~j3f Jazz Jackrabbit 3 FAQ] ** [https://web.archive.org/web/20230724224003/https://www.jazz2online.com/j3f/ Alternate link] * [https://archive.org/details/jazzjackrabbit3winen Alpha Demo] ** [https://www.myabandonware.com/game/jazz-jackrabbit-3-cld Alternate link] * [https://archive.org/details/jazzjackrabbit3designdocument Design Documentation] ** [http://www.newbiesplayground.net/?wpfb_dl=8485 Alternate link] * [https://tcrf.net/Jazz_Jackrabbit_3 The Cutting Room Floor] * [https://www.jazz2online.com/wiki/Jazz_Jackrabbit_3 Jazz Jackrabbit 3 on Jazz2Online Wiki] {{JJgames}} [[Category:Games]] [[Category:Beta Elements]]
