Lauri#

This needs some investigation.
Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page.
Specifically: There's two Lauri's! A QA Tester (Karivaara) and Hosio (Lead Programmer), if possible determine the one being referenced.

Lauri is an internal name for a user, internally used as a placeholder for player avatars. Despite being named after an individual, the avatar was also used by other developers in conferences. 1

Splash Screen#

In a 2016 build of the game, moving the main splash screen image away reveals the 2013 splash screen was behind it, this was likely removed around 2017.

Early Powerup Icons#

Icons for the game's 5 powerups from the open beta are present in the 2012 version. Only the gift inbox versions of the powerups are present aside from the fifth one (TNT Drop) which also has static textures.

Unanimated Green Day Level Select#

Static images for most likely a static menu like every other level selection menu was left over. The game used an animated menu playing music instead so that's probably why they were cut. The menu itself was also removed so it's not possible to see what it would render like. These stayed in all releases past Green Day.

Branded Tournament Tests#

The content archives tournament_BP_TEST and tournament_BLUEPRINT_TEST in the 2018 releases have placeholder textures for branded tournament blocks.
