Bowling Pin Textures#

G&W_Unused_18-Volt_Pin_Texture.png G&W_Unused_Mona_Pin_Texture.png
The aforementioned bowling pins file for Bowling also contains a couple of unused textures: one for 18-Volt and another for Mona. The latter was possibly an early or placeholder texture.

Placeholder Bowling Ball Texture#

G&W_Bowling_Ball_Test_Texture.png
The bowling ball file for Bowling, Ball.bfres.fzip, contains a crudely drawn white circle with a yellow rectangle and green letters reading the word "TEST". This was likely a placeholder texture for the bowling balls.

Early Mona Card#

Early

Final

The layout archive for the character fact cards hold an early version of Mona's card as a placeholder. For the front, the scene photo was changed entirely. For the back, Mona's artwork was resized and has a somewhat different design.

A texture used to test the patterns on the spinning top extra.

Haunted Mirror DUMMY#

G&W_HauntedM_DUMMY.png
The Haunted Mirror extra has a dummy graphic that appears to show..... something.

Cluck-A-Pop Cards (E3)#

A demo for Game & Wario was held at E3 2012. In this demo, the Cluck-A-Pop gave information about the game in the form of cards instead of little extras to dabble around with. These cards still exist in the game for the Cluck-A-Pop.

Early Balloon Fighter Extra#

G&W_PonPlaceholder.png
An early version of the Balloon Fighter extra icon, notably for the game Gold Digger, that lacks the color blue. Used as a placeholder for the extra that comes out of the Cluck-A-Pop machine.

Minigame Tip Screenshot#

G&W_Gamecard_test.png
The minigame tip card layout archive holds an unused screenshot as a placeholder.

Credits#

Placeholder Background#

Placeholder

Final

There's a single placeholder mixed in with the character splash screen credits. "Temporary" is scribbled on it, and circled many times. Just to make sure.

Early Wario Credit#

Unfinished

Final

Just like the placeholder background, this unfinished remnant of Wario's splash screen is found with the character splash screen credits. Key differences are the image is completely lacking color and Wario's arm is positioned slightly off-screen.
