Garfield (PlayStation 2, Windows)

He hates Mondays and loves lasagna. Comedy! Notable for the fact that Jon and Garfield are voiced by the same person (and it isn't very hard to tell).

Unused Video#

KISS.PSS#

Garfield_KISS.MP4

KISS.PSS is an unused cutscene where Arlene kisses Garfield. It is absent from the PC version.

Unused Menus#

Level Select#

An unused level select menu. Uses menu index 0xFFFF. Selecting a floor will start a new game in that area. Similar to the "Mini Games" menu, when loading a minigame from the level select menu, quitting the minigame returns to the main menu.

Center Screen#

Allows the player to set the center position of the menu UI using the directional buttons. This option only functions when playing on PC. Attempting to adjust this setting when playing on PS2 will have no effect. Uses menu index 0x403.

Unused Text#

Hidden Message#

Present at 0x2FFE71 in the PlayStation 2 version's executable is the following message:

Err, what you doin' here???

Unused Music#

In AUDIO/MUSIC in the PlayStation 2 version are seven unused jingles. Since the game has exactly zero used jingles, there are lots of places where these could have played. They are absent from the PC version.

SPEECH_2901.wav

Must... resist... lasagna.

SPEECH_2902.wav

Bonzai!

SPEECH_2903.wav

Ugh... now I have to make another one! It's so weird... this is the only time I've ever disliked eating lasagna.

SPEECH_2904.wav

[Eating noises]

SPEECH_2904 is technically used, but in the WIN FMV where Garfield is able to eat the lasagna as a reward for cleaning the house.

Backmasked Voices#

The sound effects 93-95 and 109-114 contain seemingly unused backmasked voice lines. Reversing reveals them to be low-quality versions of some translated voice lines, eight of them in Spanish and one in German. Some of these are also higher or lower in pitch and speed, while SFX_95 has less pauses between words. They seem to have been intended to be used for the television, since parts of SFX_112 and SFX_114 can be heard as such in the intro FMV. Even though you can tune the living room TV to a news channel after fixing the antenna on the roof, no sound is ever played.
