Kooky no Quiz Carnival

Cookie's Quiz Carnival is Jupiter's first game. Text refers to the protagonist as "Kooky" in-game. This game was followed by another obscure game known as Quiz Carnival 2 -Meguriai Version-.

Unused Audio#

Jupiter Logo#

What appears to be an earlier accompanying jingle for the Jupiter logo is found in the HFS. The sound file for the earlier version is simply named "Jupiter", and the final is named "Jupiter2".

Jupiter2 appears to have blended the Shinsei jingle into it. "Sinsei" and "sinsei2" files are unused as well, perhaps redundant for this reason.

Mr. Panda Narration#

A voice clip for narrating "Mr. Panda"; possibly an early or placeholder name for the final panda character known as Mr. Paose.

Notably, the voice actor is also different (a male voice?), compared to the voice of the female dancers in the final game. It is possible either the voice was a placeholder intended to be changed later, or the dancers were added later on in development.

In the final game there is also a voice clip that plays if Mr. Paose is in the lead (MrPaoselead) "Mr. Paose Da!" (meaning "It's Mr. Paose"), but Mr. Panda apparently doesn't have an equivalent file.

The file size for MrPanda is also much smaller (7KB as opposed to 50KB on MrPaose), perhaps it was compressed or of lower quality (though it is also shorter). Many other of the final voices are similar in file size to MrPaose, such as MrBeef being 48KB.

Shinsei Jingle#

Connections#

Connections in the game were apparently used or intended for the following:

• FCP via ADSP
• FCP via TCP/IP using several vendors' TCP/IP Communication Tools
• Using a connection script to connect via the Sprint network
• The Access to Jupiter menu in the Settings directory before actually running the game on the Mac, using FirstClass (SoftArc Inc.), and requesting a username and password.
