Mambo Adventure involves guiding the elephant Mambo through increasingly difficult mazes.
Like many of CyberPlanet Interactive's casual games, it was later ported to the PlayStation 2.
NOTE: All of the filepaths take in consideration the folder Data.
Unused Graphics#
Buttons#
Through the game's files are many button graphics which don't fit the game's jungle aesthetic, and are assumed to be leftovers from a different game.

Thumbs.db Files#
Throughout the game's directories are Thumbs.db files, which were used in older versions of Windows to store image thumbnail data. In particular, the one found in the root of the Data folder contains many leftovers from the game's development, and even from other games, some of them not even being developed by CyberPlanet Interactive.

Unused Music#
Found in the folder sound, where the game's sound effects are stored, is a MIDI file labeled You're_not_alone.mid. When played, it is revealed to be an arrangement of Not Alone, from Final Fantasy IX.
Trivia: This is not the first time a rendition of a Final Fantasy track is found unused in a CyberPlanet Interactive game.

Unused Text#
Found at offset 0xB4E58 of the game's executable are leftover text strings from Deep Hunter, a previous game by CyberPlanet Interactive.
Deep hunter is a shooting game in the deep ocean. There are three major sea creatures: octopus, green jellyfish and red jellyfish. Octopus earns 5 points and 10 Oxygen points. Green jellyfish earns 10 points. Red jellyfish earns 20 points. There is chance to earn Bonus point too. Press the UP and DOWN arrow key to control the diver's movement. When ready to shoot, press the centre button. Earn as many points as you can within the time limit.
