Unused Backgrounds#

Located in folder /art/backgrounds/ is the file LoadingScreen.rbh:

Unused Sounds#

Gudmund, Koji, and Giovanni have full sets of voice clips present in the game’s files, but almost none of them ever play during normal gameplay. Only one line is actually used, that being their character-select confirmation. In the game’s files, Gudmund and Koji are referred to as ‘Sven’ and ‘Hiro’, likely early names for them.

Unused Music#

In the game's files, four unused songs can be found.

SEQ_lost

This is actually the lose theme from the Game Boy Advance version. The Nintendo DS version uses a different theme.

SEQ_lost02 Another unused lose theme.

SEQ_Radiator_Springs_1 An unused cutscene theme.

SEQ_Starting_Line_Jingle1 An unused jingle that presumably would've played before starting a race.

Unused Text#

Inside the text folder are the directories for each language’s text. Interestingly, the US version of the game includes full text for all translated languages, but it does not actually have a language select.

One directory, jp, appears to have been created for a Japanese translation. However, the game was never released in Japanese, and this folder does not contain any actual Japanese text. Instead, it contains the same files as the other language folders, but with every string replaced by:

Missing ____ for lang Japanese

This placeholder appears for every instruction key.
