Debug Mode#

Please elaborate. Having more detail is always a good thing.

Unused Levels#

To do: How do you access these levels? When these levels are more accessible, take screenshots of them to be put in a sub-page.

Unused levels are actually pretty abundant in Pac-Man World, so here they are.

Kooky Crypt#

Watch on YouTubeThere is actually a third ruins level, however, due to time or space issues, Kooky Crypt was left unused. When accessed, the level doesn't have many objects; it's mostly traps. Oddly enough, Kooky Crypt is actually set outdoors, unlike most of the other Ruins levels. Also shown in the video is an unused maze layout, possibly meant for Kooky Crypt, and an earlier version of the ruins' bonus rounds. This version looks a lot more barren, with a black sky and little to no decoration.

Unused Mazes and Test Levels#

Watch on YouTubeMore unused levels and even some unused mazes exist in the game. Some of these range from nearly-complete mazes to unfinished maps that include oddities such as startling a player right as they start the level, and levels that are only the "bubbly" texture in the Funhouse stages.

Unused Pac-Man 3-D Levels#

To do: Screenshots would be nice. Add these levels to the July build's page.

To access these levels, the debug mode must be activated and in some cases, some unused levels may need memory editing in order to access them. Some of these levels are only available in the July 21st, 1999 build.

Kooky Crypt Title Card#

If you use debug mode to access Kooky Crypt, this is displayed on the loading screen.

Ghost Island X Marker#

The player selected a world from these spots in the original Ghost Island. Strangely, these are loaded in the HMS Windbag level, and only in that level.

Cola#

Present in mostly every level, but never used. This powerup is meant to freeze enemies when you butt-bounce.

Beta Pac-Man#

It was stated by programmer John Hamilton that their biggest challenge was Pac-Man himself. To make him look round, they had to use way more polygons than they could afford. Art programmer Gil Colgate came up with the idea to just use a picture of a sphere that always faced the camera as his body, and they stuck with that.

The textures for this version of Pac-Man's model are in VRAM 370. The sprites for the body and limbs would be used until Pac-Man's model changed to be more consistent with classic artwork, Shortly after E3 1998 (the faces for the E3 1998 model are still here as well, they now belong to Professor Pac-Man).

Several of these faces would be cut in half and reused in the final game, specifically for when Pac-Man blinks.

Pac-Man's body.

Pac-Man's limbs. These would have been made yellow with vertex colors.

Pac-Man smiling.

Pac-Man whistling.

Pac-Man looking closer at something.

Pac-Man eating.

Pac-Man frowning.

Pac-Man dies.

Pac-Man dizzy.

Pac-Man's shadow. It would have been rendered at an angle, so it wouldn't have looked squished.

FB.s3d#

Krome Keeper was originally going to look much more menacing, according to director Scott Rogers on twitter. He confirmed this to an early version of him by sharing concept art. The textures for this model are loaded alongside the final textures.

GT.s3d#

It is currently unknown what this is meant to be. Its textures are gone, but it would've called for files MOUTH02, RH_EYE01, LF_EYE01, GLOVE1, and GLOVE. Observing the vertex colors in yychr's palette editor show that the gloves would've been a dark red.

CW.s3d#

Purpose Unknown. Its textures are gone, but it would have called for CWAMBOL2, CWARM, WBLUE2, and CWJOINT.

E3 1998 Leftovers#

Early Loading Screen#

Instead of title cards, the E3 1998 demo used generic loading text while it was... loading.

E3 1998 Fruit#

The fruit renders used in the E3 1998 demo are still in the games files, and are loaded in multiple stages. The final fruit are hand-drawn.

E3 1998 Ghosts#

The ghost models from E3 1998 are loaded in the leftover pirate fort levels. They don't have backsides, revealing that their bodies always faced the screen and their eyes and hands just moved around.

GB.s3d#

A Butterfly that flaps around. No textures are associated with it. The model is very small, As it was used as Decor in the "Pirate Fort" level.

BE.S3D#

This bee enemy was seen flying around in E3 1998 pirate fort levels. Their textures are long gone. It would have called for WING, BEE2, BEEEYES, AND BEE1. Scott Rogers revealed on twitter that these were ultimately cut alongside the Pac-Dot forest levels, which they were intended to be used in.

E3 1999 Leftovers#

Coming soon.

Displayed on the title screen at E3 1999.
