Unused Data#
Unused character data#
In the game's files, there are player stats for Specter and Dark Specter, implying they were meant to be unlockable similar to Jake and Dark Jake.
Something to note with their stats: Specter has the lowest base boat speed, at 5, compared to the average of 7.23 while Dark Specter has the fastest base boat speed, at 30.

Unused characters can be selected and data can be created, but characters are not displayed on the preparation screen and soft-locked when moving to the battle screen.

On the game's disc, under \RAW\SOUND\MIDI\, there are six leftover MIDI files (accompanied by samples) that are unused in the final game. The final game uses compressed audio in .INT format.
