Invizimals allows you to see invizimal creatures in your environment using the Sony PSP Go!Cam. Using a special trap you can capture them to fight and trade them with other hunters all over the world.

Testing Areas#

There are three locations that based on their name were likely used for testing content of the game. They are only accessible by editing the memory.

TEST#

TEST has the location ID 00 and is located in the ocean south of South Africa on the world map. It has an entrance fee of 100 sparks to enter the club fight. It was mainly used to test attack animations. All fights use the 1 set and no bet rules, except SPARRING which uses 1 set and bet rules.

TESTMARC1#

TESTMARC1 has the location ID 01 and is located in the ocean south-west of South Africa on the world map. It has an entrance fee of 100 sparks to enter the club fight. It was mainly used to test invizimal animations during fight. The fight names use the internal invizimal names and all fights use the 3 sets and no bet rules.

TestMarc2#

TestMarc2 has the location ID 02 and is located in the ocean south-west of South Africa on the world map. It has an entrance fee of 100 sparks to enter the club fight. Like TESTMARC1 it was mainly used to test invizimal animations during fight. The fight names use the internal invizimal names and all fights use the 1 set and no bet rules.

Unused Locations#

There are four locations in the game that are not accessed at any time during the game. All of them have clubs suggesting that they might have been planned but were discarded during development.

Sydney#

Sydney has the location ID 11 and is located in the south-east of Australia on the world map. All club fights use the 1 set and no bet rules and the invizimals used are randomly generated, possible invizimals being Stingwing (Colt), Jetcrab (Colt), Moonhowler (Colt) and Phalamos (Colt). All of them are named ghost.

London#

London has the location ID 1A and is located in the United Kingdoms on the world map. All club fights use the 1 set and no bet rules and the invizimals used are randomly generated, possible invizimal being Stingwing (Colt), Mobula (Colt), Porcupain (Pup), Porcupain (Colt), Porcupain (Max) and Rattleraptor (Colt). Possible invizimal names are Benny, Don, Lon, Nessy and RobinHood.

Barcelona#

Barcelona has the location ID 1B and is located in Spain on the world map. All club fights use the 1 set and no bet rules and the invizimals used are randomly generated, possible invizimal being Stingwing (Colt), Mobula (Colt), Porcupain (Pup), Porcupain (Colt), Porcupain (Max) and Rattleraptor (Colt). Possible invizimal names are Bestiota, Bicharraco, Bruto, Fantasmon and Monstruo. Barcelona became an actual location in the sequel.

Since the memory for the combat records is not fully reserved for Barcelona, the data for Elena is using the invizimal party data resulting in showing the combat data wrong and being able to edit the data by fighting her.

Los Angeles#

Los Angeles has the location ID 1C and is located in the United States on the world map. While this location has a club the player can enter, there are no opponents found inside. However inside the memory the following code can be found:

d.Los Angeles.comb
at_tokyo genarma
dillo2_rattlera
ptor2.s. Invizima
1.ngBrandon. Melv
in._Jon. Josh.ar_
Doug...aSuzanne.
Quentin. Perry.en
Trish...Rick.ty.
Brodie.nSully..f
Tariq. anHowie.im
Dallas

Based on the code it seems to be that there would have been fights with random generated invizimals which could either be Rattleraptor (Colt) or Firecracker (Colt). The random invizimals names would have been Invizimal, Brandon, Melvin, Jon, Josh or Doug. The opponents would have had the names Suzanne, Quentin, Perry, Trish, Rick, Brodie, Sully, Tariq, Howie and Dallas.

Internal Names

Each invizimal in the game has an internal name used while development. While most of have their final name or the name referring to the origin of the design, some have names suggesting that their design was changed while development.

Debug Game States

There are several game states used for internal debugging present in the released game. This includes test_capturer and test_logos. There is also a test_camera game state but this freezes the game when forced to load.

test_capturer#

This game state tests the capturer feature of the game. It consists of a Mobula capture sequence without many of the normal UI elements, and the addition of axes displaying the detected orientation of the trap card.

test_logos#

This game state debugs camera detection of various special trap icons usually used within The Big Secret easter egg area. It shows the probability of detection of each icon, and allows users to save new reference images of what each icon should look like, which are then used for detection purposes.
