Showdown Town Strings#

Default Showdown Town File#

The entries in here are referring to the file aid_loctext_banjox_showdowntown_default, located at (\Debug\11\b5\ef\5f).

Stop 'n' Swop Truth#

In Bottles' Tourist Information, there is a hint named Stop 'N' Swop Truth which costs 6,000 notes; This is impossible to purchase normally, as there is a max total of 5,230 notes in the base game.
There is however associated text for purchasing the hint, where he makes a cheeky reference and thanks you for the notes.

Tourist Info Map Dialog#

Along with the Stop 'n' Swop Truth option, Bottles' Tourist Information contains an unused dialog option for the Showdown Town Map itself.

Unused L.O.G. Intro#

Most characters in Showdown Town have an assigned intro to them and L.O.G. was seemingly no different at one point, having a dedicated intro line that never gets said in the final, pre or post tutorial.

Unused Intro Lines#

Despite the already-lengthy introductory sequence, it was seemingly meant to be even longer, featuring a time jump and a proper introduction to Mumbo Jumbo. Found in the file aid_loctext_banjox_showdowntown_intro, located at (\Debug\11\e0\ca\e5)

Unused Scuba Gate Line#

Attempting to go through the gates that require the Scuba Seat early will prompt L.O.G. to speak up and prevent entry. L.O.G. was meant to have a follow-up line after Kazooie's jab but it ends up going unused.
It can be found within aid_loctext_banjox_showdowntown_log, located at (\Debug\11\1d\c2\ac)

Scrapped Pikelet Lines#

Left inside aid_loctext_banjox_showdowntown_jinjos are several unique lines that were meant to appear upon each Minjo jailed. He only repeats the same line in the final. Said loctext file is located at (\Debug\11\90\3d\36)

Early Game Intro Tags#

The file aid_loctext_banjox_gameintro once contained a different draft of the Spiral Mountain dialogue for the game's intro. While the file itself has been wiped of text, two of the intended entries were seemingly preserved in aid_loctext_banjox_test_dialogtesttext. Found in (\Debug\11\8e\b4\27).

Animated Sequence 1#

The line for dialog__jamjarslistenup is seemingly one of two preserved.

Playable Sequence 1#

Animated & Playable Sequence 2#

Animated Sequence 3#

The line for dialog__banjoincaseyou is seemingly one of two preserved.

Challenges#

Unused Challenge Type#

Found in aid_loctext_banjox_tempplaceholder_style alongside the strings for LOG's Choice and Player's Choice Style Choices, a third style choice can be found by the name of "Limited Choice". Found in (Debug\11\36\42\09)

Challenge Leftovers#

The file aid_loctext_banjox_challenges has a number of unused text entries present, some relating to the scrapped Weird West world and its intended 15 jiggy challenges. Found in (\Debug\11\fb\c3\ac)
Some noteworthy mentions are that "Freewheel Festival" is mentioned in the challenge names for Weird West, which would be repurposed for Nutty Acres. The Weird West LIVE challenge name of "Short Circuit" would also seemingly be repurposed for LOGBOX 720.
Additionally, challenges mentioning sheep are present, which aligns with the sheep challenges in Banjoland that relate to a "Cut for Deadlines" room.

Along with L.O.G.'s Choice and Players Choice, there was to be a third game style, named "Limited Choice". Strings for this are still present, hinting to what would've bee able to be affected with this.

Live Challenges#

Jinjo Challenge Instruction#

The file aid_loctext_banjox_jinjos has a singular unused challenge instruction for the Jinjo Combat. It is meant to be used but because it is set to check an always true flag, it never gets said. Found in (\Debug\11\db\22\ae)
