Summary

Super Pitfall II (sometimes just called Pitfall II) never saw an official release in the US because it was originally the Japanese game Atlantis no Nazo. The plan was to bring that title across the Atlantic, but instead of keeping its original name, the localization team decided to shoe‑horn it into the Pitfall brand, hoping the familiar name would boost sales. Ultimately the project was scrapped, leaving only a handful of prototype cartridges and a curious footnote in retro‑gaming history. I find it fascinating how a completely different adventure was almost hidden behind a classic name.
