Unused Character#
Cookie0000, bizarrely returning from Cookie Run: OvenBreak's files barring their design being a black silhouette, is present in the files of Cookie Run: Kingdom, with their role being a placeholder.
Cookie0000 has a single cutscene sprite and only an idle and appearing animation. Cookie0000 additionally has data present acting as if it is an obtainable Cookie, including an overworld spritesheet and animations, but the data only exists as a blank .png and simple pointers respectively.
Unused Graphics#
Unused Character#
A character who was designed to be an NPC appears in the game files, internally named npc0001. They were seen in the 2019 Devsisters Lineup Trailer, having their own menu icon, perhaps suggesting that they were intended to be playable or perhaps have a large role as an NPC, yet as of launch, they seem to have been scrubbed from the game altogether. Interestingly, they appear in The Art of Cookie Run: Kingdom artbook on the page for Black Magic. ''
Carol Cookie#
The development of Cookie Run: Kingdom was long and arduous, being reworked several times during development with the final game having several cuts of Cookies that were present in previous game builds. One of these Cookies was Carol Cookie, who was seemingly cut rather late during the rework of the game into it's current state, as she has a unique sprite for standing, as well as exhausted and menu icons, being reused from Cookie Run: OvenBreak. It is unknown what she would have done as a playable character, but she did make it into the game's launch files, only to never be used.
On November 25, 2022, at 5:00 AM, the Stories by the Fireplace update was announced, which includes Sherbet Cookie as a Super Epic, The Sugar Gnomes' Holiday Cake Shop, an Expansion and some new features for the Tower of Sweet Chaos, and... Carol Cookie herself! This makes the standing sprite no longer unused.
Exhausted Graphics#
Every playable Cookie has an exhausted graphic in the game. Only GingerBrave's is used, when the player fails a level in Story mode. Every other Cookie does have appropriate graphics, though; but Cookies that appeared in Cookie Run: OvenBreak simply reuse their exhausted sprites from said game. The new Cookies introduced in Kingdom have completely unique images drawn, although they are rough and unfinished... These sprites can be seen in the artbook too. (Placeholders, maybe?)
Decor#
Scrapped Event#
Tied to the grand launch login bonus event, there was plans to enter players into a raffle for a free copy of the Cookie Run: Kingdom Art Book if you logged in all 14 days. While there's no explicit reason why this was canned, the rocky launch the game faced more than likely meant this event wasn't going to last in the first place--perhaps the development team foresaw issues and canned it due to that?
Sketches#
Loading Screens#
Most of these loading screens came from the pre-registration animation video, but one can speculate that they were just placeholders to test out something else.
2018 Leftovers#
CookieRun: Kingdom was revealed initially in late 2018, showing a game with early animations and scrapped features, and more. Thankfully(?), some of the assets have survived the transition. these were used in said trailer, unless stated otherwise.
Unused Backgrounds#
A plain, grassy background, that's it.
Unused Tiles#
Unused Icons#
Unused Quest Icons#
All of these are related to kingdom pass quests, or an unused series of quests.
Unused Items#
3 unused pearl items. Uses are unknown, but it could be an early version of the Rainbow Pearl item.
Beta Costume System#
The costume system was originally going to have the ability to upgrade costumes and two other rarities; Ancient. Though as costumes are purely cosmetic, it is unknown what upgrading costumes could do.
Unused Sounds#

Anti-Cheat#
The Android version of Cookie Run: Kingdom utilizes an anti-cheat method to prevent playing the game. While how it exactly works is rather unclear, it can be seen that when the game is launched, the game will check for all of the apps installed on the user's device. If an app that is blacklisted is detected to be installed, the game will intentionally crash itself. Occasionally, a small popup with the title of the package saying that the game cannot run with the installed app will appear, but this is rare.
A full list of apps that are blacklisted by the game is currently unknown, but a few of the known blocked apps are:
- Auto Clicker (uit.quocnguyen.autoclicker)
