Concept Art#

A bunch of concept art for the game can be found online from the official Japanese website, a lot of them showcase earlier versions of certain character designs, and models.

Official Japanese Website#

Dillon#

2 Early Dillon outfit designs that can be found on the official Japanese website.

• The first outfit has a longer bandana, different shoulder armor, red spikes instead of bronze spikes, a white cowboy hat with different looking goggles, brown cowboy boots, white gloves, and a holster instead of engines. The pose for the first artwork resembles the pose seen for his trophy in Super Smash Brothers 3DS

The text reads "Initial idea for Jiro's costume. Jiro 1: I tried to focus on the near future, but it seemed like the science fiction feeling was too strong."

• The second outfit almost resembles the final design, but with a different belt design that almost resembles the one Dillon wore in the Rolling Western games, red spikes, no goggles, silver claws, and has a holster instead of engines.

On the artwork itself, the text reads "Costume consideration number 2. This is almost the final version, but I accidentally forgot the spikes on the back."

An earlier model based off the second concept art can be found in the game files (albeit with a different belt), and can be seen when the player completes a village mission.

Along with the early engines, that matches the early Dillon unlockable concept art in the game.

"Jiro 3 | Rough sketch of rolling engine. In fact, I've been considering a lot of things about Jiro's special weapon since the days of "The Last Ranger."

Shinji Usui's Blogspot#

On December 16th, 2021, 3 years after the game released, the concept art director of the game Shinji Usui, uploaded three pieces of concept art on his blogspot profile, this one being for this game.

These would be for motorcycles that were once planned to be used by the Amiimal Gunners during development, instead of them riding inside the player Amiimal's trailer vehicle.
