Unused Cinematics#

Found in the directory /hub/demo, several unused demo resource files can be found alongside the used files. "Demo" is used for assets relating to cutscenes in Game Day.
Examples being the following:

• demo_blue_##.cmpres and demo_red_##.cmpres, which are unused mid-story cutscenes.
  • demo_green_##.cmpres and demo_yellow_##.cmpres are duplicates of the Red files.
    
• demo_red_op.cmpres, which is an unused introductory cutscene to the team you picked.
  • demo_blue_op.cmpres, demo_green_op.cmpres and demo_yellow_op.cmpres are duplicates of the Red files.
    

Due to the script files that would've been used to play them not being present, and no scripts actively loading the files, they simply go unused.

Unused Sprites#

To do: There are other sprites to add here.

Sprites from Ice Fishing#

Left in \test\gm_dancing_lay_test.cmparc, there are sprites that were used for testing or for very early on the game's development.
There are sprites for Fluffy the fish, a jellyfish and others related to it from the "Ice Fishing" minigame.

Stamp Tickets Sprites#

Found in hub\hub_ui_common.cmparc, UI textures for a ticket book, a ticket and a "Clear!" stamp exist, which were used in the unused stamp ticket layout section.

Pause/Menu Early Sprites#

There are multiple unused sprites found in pause.cmparc that relate to the pause menu that are leftover from FlingSmash, another Artoon title.
They were never used, or they were placeholders for early versions of the game.

Dancing Sprites#

Unused Objects#

General NPCs#

Found in \hub\script\Common.arc, there are three general NPC classes present which aren't called anywhere else in the game.

hub01_town_Com_ESNPC_SS.nut#

This class looks to be an earlier version of the NPC used for "Bean Balance", as it calls that minigame in the event parameter.
The class uses the special penguin register for Sensei when setting up, which implies that Sensei was originally going to be the NPC for Bean Balance, but was replaced by the Coffee Shop Barista late into development, with his dialogue removed from the final files.

hub01_town_Com_SSNPC_01.nut#

This class is the Gift Shop Penguin, they would reside at the door of the Gift Shop, and would allow you to view the Penguin Style catalogue when interacted with.
In the final game, you interact with the door to access the catalogue, rendering this NPC obsolete. A separate NPC class that uses the same appearance and locator, hub01_town_CH09_GiftShop.nut, is used in-game, during the "Hunt for Funny Items!" challenge to prevent access to the Gift Shop.

hub02_village_Com_SSNPC_01.nut#

This class is the Sport Shop's Salesman, they seemingly would have resided at the door of the Sports Shop, and would allow you to view the Snow and Sports catalogue when interacted with.
In the final game, the Sports Shop was replaced by the Everyday Phoning Facility, rendering this NPC obsolete, and thus they go unused. Interacting with them will bring up the Penguin Style catalogue.

Challenge NPCs#

Found in \hub\script\CH09.arc file, several unused NPC files are present for the various referees in the other hub areas during "Hunt for Funny Items!".
In the final game, only the one at the Ski Village is present.

Debug Elements#

In several of the game files, there are leftover debug elements present that do different things, from printing specific data to actual testing features.

Title Select Debug Menu#

Left over in penguin_maker.rso is an entire debug menu that appears to be from an earlier point in development. It consists of several menus and a lot of options.
By default, the game doesn't print anything being called to the function Debug::Printf, instead it needs to be swapped to use Romfont::Printf to view the printed strings.
The basic controls are: Up and Down to scroll the options. Left and Right to adjust the selected option. A is used for confirmation.

SELECT#

The main screen for the menu, it consists of the Wii's region, the current language for the game and four options to use.

GAME OPTION#

The Game Option menu, this provides several options for the various minigames you can pick.
Pressing A will save the changes you made. Pressing B will discard any changes that have not been saved.

HUB OPTION#

The Hub Option menu, this provides options for the hub flags, team color and allows for jumping into any challenge or sequence.
Pressing A on "START SCENE" or "START CHALLENGE or DEMO" will load into the specified option.

SOUND CHECK#

The Sound Check menu is what it says, it allows you to test any registered sound entry.
Pressing Plus will play the selected option. Pressing Minus will stop whatever audio is currently playing.

FONT CHECK#

The Font Check is another self explanatory option, it displays a list of font files used in the game. Preceeding that is some Japanese text that doesn't display properly.
Pressing A will print information regarding the selected font file to any connected debugger.

フォントごとの各文字サイズを取得する
↑ or ↓ ボタン でフォントを選択。
Ａボタン で選択したフォントの文字サイズを出力。

Obtain Character Size for Each Font
Use the ↑ or ↓ Buttons to choose a font.
Press the A Button to display the character size for your selected font.

UI COMMON#

The UI Common Tester option is a test for the layout files, both for handling loading of them and modifying nodes/animations. More Japanese text is found here, but not displayed properly.
Pressing Left or Right will alter the radial's bar. Pressing Plus does something with loading a UI file.

GetSaveWork Debug Print#

Found in the common hub script files for the Town, Snow Forts, Beach and Dock, there's a check for if ScriptDebugMode is set to true in common.nut.
If the check returns true, it will print the result of the GetSaveWork data for FLAG_YELLOW_ED, FLAG_RED_ED, FLAG_GREEN_ED and FLAG_BLUE_ED to a console.

GetLocalWork Debug Print#

Similar to the GetSaveWork debug functions, the challenge mode "Hunt for Funny Items!" has print functions for every hub area except the Ski Village for the collectable items.

Challenge Debug Skip Command#

Found in the script file challenge_common.nut, a debug skip function named IsChallengeDebugSkip() is present which is called by all challenges in the game while in active play.
If IsDebugMode() returns true, any valid player who is holding Minus on their Wiimote will instantly clear the challenge. Holding B in combination will instead instantly fail the challenge.

By default, IsDebugMode() will always return false. This can be forced to true with the following Gecko code:

These codes were made with immediately going to the story mode and risks problems if you go into any mini-game with these codes active due to how the RSO files are loaded.

Minigame Debug Parameters#

This needs some investigation. Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page. Specifically: What needs enabling to use the debug parameters leftover in Java Jump and Snowball Battle?

Found in \param\gm_javasack\js_param.param, mentions to various debug aspects can be found for "Java Jump", including turning off the time limit and a path editor.

Unused Layouts#

Early Title Menu#

In the game's files, within \title\title.cmparc there is a placeholder title of the game along with some early "Press A + B" text.
This can be viewed by replacing penguin_maker.rso with main_menu.rso.
The same file is also found in the files of Fortune Street, due to being accidentally copied by the developers when attempting to reuse the "Put on and tighten the wrist strap" splash screen.

Event Test Menu#

Also found within \title\title.cmparc, there are two additional .brlyt files that look to be a very basic menu, comprising of a player amount select and an event select.

Title UI	Notes
	ui_tit_menu01a.brlyt is a total number of players selection menu, up to four players can be chosen.
	ui_tit_menu02a.brlyt is an event select menu, only two events can be selected. The only events that appear are "Speed Skating" and "Figure Skating", both of which do not exist in the final game.

Early Event Instructions#

Found within \game_sub\gm_inst_lay.cmparc are two .brlyt files that make up an unused instructions UI.

Instruction UI	Notes
	ui_eve_inst_balloon01a.brlyt is a dialogue box with up to 9 pages of messages, with scroll buttons to go between each page.
	ui_eve_inst_screen01a.brlyt is a projector screen that was likely connected to the balloon UI. It looks similar to the video projector that was used on the landing page for the online game.

Unused Stamp Tickets#

Alongside the main UI for the hub (ui_hub_layout01a.brlyt) in \hub\hub_ui_common.cmparc, an unused section with stamped tickets can be found.

Unused Textures#

Sensei Color Texture#

Alongside the other body colors in /chara/cp01.cmpres, one for Sensei can also be found. Because Sensei was never used, this also goes unused.

Wii SDK Leftovers#

Several textures from the Wii's SDK were left in /test/test01.brres, examples include a fish and a human man respectively. The models that they belong to were not kept in the file.

Development Leftovers#

Subversion Entries#

In the file directories for Club Penguin: Game Day!, there are leftover .svn folders from their Subversion repository for the game.
These contain details about the files present, such as their last changed date, author of the change and the URL it was on in the repository, as well as duplicate files of the ones present.
The example .svn/entries file presented is from the root files directory.

Several .svn files can also be found in the .cmparc files for "Fast Freeze" (gm_gogostop), "Feed A Puffle" (gm_feedapuffle) and "Java Jump" (gm_javasack), which are dated to before the current files they were found in.

Internal Names#

Unsurprisingly, the game's internal name is Club Penguin Wii, sometimes abbreviated to cp-wii, as seen in the SVN files.
===Internal Minigame Names===
