[[File: | [[File:Demo leaders.png|thumb|The unused character "D" (leftmost) as shown at E3 2012.]] | ||
There was one character that never made it into the game in any footage whatsoever, and was scrapped early in development. He was shown off at E3 2012 in a bit of concept art, and all that was underneath him was the letter "D". With an interview with Shigeru Miyamoto{{source needed}}, he stated that there were three leaders playable in the game, suggesting Character D was scrapped early on, since he was never shown in any footage. Since Alph, Brittany, and Charlie all had the first letter of their name under their art at E3 2012, it is speculated by fans that the character's final name was meant to be Drake, keeping in line with the military alphabet theme, but this name was eventually moved to the game's ship, the [[S.S. Drake]]. A possible reason for the scrap could've been due to the fact that controlling and switching between four leaders would have been considered too chaotic. | There was one character that never made it into the game in any footage whatsoever, and was scrapped early in development.
