This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion.
Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?

To do:
This site documents lots of unused in all versions of the game, as well as prerelease material.

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations is the third game in the Ace Attorney series. The game is 2.3 times bigger than the original Ace Attorney game and is considered one of the best games in the series.

Regional Differences#

The Japanese version has an English language setting with a slightly different translation from the American and European translations. There are some sentences that had translation fixes, but some actually gained errors.

  • The US version accidentally inserted an extra "in", as in "when you were in a child".

Unused Music#

A number of music tracks from the first and second game linger in the ROM right before the sound effect data. Some of them are used during brief moments in certain episodes, and some others are more prominently featured, but a couple of them go unused. The list of unused leftovers goes like this:

  • BGM002 and - "Pursuit - Corner the Culprit". Each game has a new pursuit theme, and while the normal version was reused in the second game in a flashback, it wasn't in this game. There is instead a rearrangement of the track, "Pursuit - Corner the Culprit 2004", used near the end of the game.
  • BGM003 - "Pursuit - Corner the Culprit (Variation)". Like the above, a rearrangement, "Pursuit - Corner the Culprit 2004 (Variation)", is used instead.
  • BGM082 - "Triumphant Return - Franziska von Karma". This track from the second game actually is used, as BGM087. This copy of the track on the other hand, is not.

Save Data Version Info#

Like in the original game, there is some version info that is used in the save data. It is unknown if the version info is for the save format or the game. The string is identical in all versions of the game.
