Unused Graphics#

Rock Blast Leftovers#

003.MWT and 004.MWT, the only contents of the folder MENU, when decompressed, reveal themselves to be leftovers from Rock Blast, one of CyberPlanet's previous games.

There are also more leftovers at files CHARSET_NM.MWT and CHARSET_HI.MWT, located in the folder EDITNAME. Both refer to a button that would switch between regular and special characters.

Demo Leftovers#

The folder DEMO contain some leftover assets from a demo version of the game, including an early rendition of the game's map that has placeholder level names.

DEMO_VERSION.MWT

Early Map#

Unused MAP\LOWERBG.MWT / UPPERBG.MWT	Final SELECTSTAGE\LOWERBG.MWT / UPPERBG.MWT

MAP\JOURNEY_1.MWT	MAP\TOWN_1.MWT	MAP\JOURNEY_2.MWT

MAP\TOWN_2.MWT	MAP\JOURNEY_3.MWT	MAP\TOWN_3.MWT

Early Level Descriptions?#

The directory SELECTSTAGE\Nitro1 contains several compressed files labeled UP_SCR, which have level descriptions. It's worth noting that none of the mentioned places exist anywhere in the final game.

Maya Wizard#

The folder TEMPLATE contain assets for what seems to be an unused demonstration screen of sorts, depicting an airplane (AIRPLANE.MWT) flying over the sky (SKY.MWT). The third graphic, LOGO.MWT, credits a graphic animation tool to the company Maya Wizard, which is known to have some ties with CyberPlanet Interactive. However, the true extent of the company in this game's development is currently unknown.

Thumbnail Image#

Throughout the game's filesystem, many Thumbs.db files, which are used for archiving image thumbnails in older versions of Windows, can be found. One of them, located in MAINMENU\Nitro, is particularly interesting, as it has a leftover from...

a cancelled DS port of Zuma Deluxe. According to the file's metadata, the thumbnail belonged to BgUpscreen.bmp, which was last modified December 8, 2009, almost two years before Junior Island Adventure's release. Given the background image is exactly the same, barring the logo and an additional text box in the final rendition, it's likely that most assets from the cancelled port were eventually repurposed for this game.

Unused Text#

The folder Text contains many leftover text strings from Rock Blast, as well as a couple from Burger Bot. There are also some strings that indicate that an European release of the former game was planned; it's important to note that the translated text seen here has a much better quality than the text found unused within Underwater Attack. In addition, translated credits strings can also be found unused.
