PC v1.0.0 contains an early version of the background for the Trick or Treat episode from Angry Birds Seasons. In later versions, this background's assets were replaced with Ham 'Em High's.

Early Mine and Dine Background#

An early version of the background for the episode Mine and Dine, found in versions 1.5.2 and 1.5.3. Unlike the final version which takes place inside of a cave, this background depicts more of an outdoor setting.

THEME_11/"ORANGE"#

A strange background depicting several skyscrapers piercing through the clouds, found in versions 1.6.2 - 1.6.3. While the files label this background as "THEME_11", the sprite name for this background's sky texture is labeled as "ORANGE_SKY". This background would be completely replaced by the one seen in the Birdday Party episode.

Revised versions of two of the backgrounds seen in the Poached Eggs episode, found in versions 4.2.0 - 4.3.5. They notably have slightly more detail compared to the ones used in the game.

Strangely, there is a duplicate version of THEME_01_FACELIFT's textures under a slightly different filename called "THEME_FACELIFT".

THEME_01_ALT#

An alternative, Angry Birds Toons-styled version of Poached Eggs Theme 1's background. Unlike most of the other unused backgrounds, there is no data for this specific one in "blocks.lua", implying that it may have been scrapped early on.

THEME_SIEGE_01#

The background used for the levels in the scrapped Siege game mode found in versions 4.2.0 - 4.3.5. Seemingly modeled after the Cobalt Plateaus, a location in the Angry Birds Toons series and games based on it such as Angry Birds 2 and Epic.

Blanked/Removed Themes#

THEME_FB#

Present in the HD builds of versions 2.3.0 - 3.1.2 is a composprite DAT file named "THEME_FB_COMPOSPRITES". The data inside calls for the sprites "FB_MOON" and "FB_MIDGROUND_1". Judging by the filename and the sprites the file calls, this is most likely intended for the background seen in older Weekly Tournament levels in Angry Birds Friends.

THEME_BEACH#

The files of versions 5.1.0 and onward contain an unused script called "themes_new.lua". The code for this script contains a single background named "THEME_BEACH". Since the sprites for this background are not present in any version, nothing for this background will show up in-game except for it's sky and ground colors.

This background was most likely intended for the unused Adventure Mode, as the script containing it is grouped with some of the other files meant for this mode.
