Unused Treasure Models#

Unlike the above, these model files aren't used at all.

All Folders#

These can be found in every region's /Abe/Pellet folder. All but 2 are Exploration Kit items—seems there were 18 pieces of equipment planned.

Model Name	Treasure Model	Notes
light_b		A second light power-up (the first is the Stellar Orb). The items in these containers are flat textures.
map03		A third map item. The northeast and northwest pieces of the map were overwritten with the globe items used in the final game.
map04		A fourth map item! At one point, this game might have had 5 areas, just like the first game.
pal_denchi_1		Given the treasure name, this was the first idea for localizing the National Hi-Top battery items. Duracell was used in the final game.
pal_denchi_1_pana		Same as above with a different battery type.
panszonic_alkali		The model's name differs from the szs file - it's in fue_c. This suggests it was originally another whistle upgrade.
radar_c		A third radar item. The second radar item, radar_b, eventually transformed into the Napsack.
rocket_pac		Either an early version of the Brute Knuckles, or something much more amazing.

Pal Folder Only#

Early Treasure Models#

These only exist in the PAL item folder of the NA and JP versions of the game. They were never cleaned out...thankfully.

donuts_choco / donuts_ichigo	donutschoco / donutsichigo

Early donut models. The frosting isn't as shiny / delicious looking, and the dough texture is, uh, not appetizing. At all.

chocolate_ichigo / chocolate_white	chocoichigo / chocowhite

The wrapping paper uses a different texture with text on it—"cho" for chocolate—and the models for the strawberry / white chocolate truffles aren't as smooth.

Unique Treasures#

Model Name	Icon	Treasure Model	Notes
broken_teala			Possibly broken in more ways than one. This image may be a bit off.
diamond	None		A prototype of the game's toy gems.
donuts_white	None		A donut with vanilla frosting. The dough texture is...bad.
flower	None		A red flower. It looks a bit like a candypop bud.
GCDisc_luigi			A Luigi's Mansion GameCube disc! There are four GameCube discs present. Of note is that Pikmin 4 would eventually feature a GameCube disc for Wave Race: Blue Storm as a treasure, called the Glinty Circular Disc.
GCDisc_mario			A Super Mario Sunshine GameCube disc. You cannot DISC GET.
GCDisc_pikmin			A GameCube disc for...Pikmin?! If this were still in, the game's universe might implode. A similar model exists under the name GCDisc. It uses a slightly different texture and has no underside.
GCDisc_zelda			A GameCube disc for The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. Watch out for Moblins!
gear01	None		A funky-looking prototype of the game's gear treasures.
oukan			An unused bottle cap item. The icon is different -- it seems to be a vintage Coca-Cola bottlecap.
sensya06	None	Soldier's Shell: Lost Artifacts Series (200 Pokos)	It's a turret from a toy tank with the number 14 on one side, and the number 144 on the other. It closely resembles the turret of the German "Panther" tank from WW2, though the barrel of the gun was broken off.
yoyo	None		A blue yo-yo. Might be an early model of yoyo_blue, before it was replaced with a different item.

Miscellaneous#

This is the only alt text on the page. Sorry.
Model Name: Indirect_test
This isn't a treasure at all, though it is in the item folder. It's a model used to test the game's indirect object lighting.

Dummy Models#

These models can be found in the PAL item folder of the NA and JP versions of the game. These models were never worked on, though the file names give clues as to what they would have been.

There are four types of models:

Blue: Small object. 6-sided model, 64x64 model name texture, 32x32 model base texture.
Green: Medium-sized object. 10-sided model, 64x64 model name texture, 128x128 model base texture.
Yellow: Large object. 12-sided model, 128x128 model name texture, 64x64 model base texture.
Red: Huge object. 14-sided model, 128x128 model name texture, 128x128 model base texture.
