Prototype Info

Unused Animations#

Planet WWE
Present in every DOB_LV##.HMD file contains an animation of Dob doing a dropkick. There's no specific button or button combination in-game that can activate this animation.

Unused Dob Faces#

Also present in every DOB_LV##.HMD file, a single vertex animation for Dob can be found that includes his facial expressions.

Among the 6 facial expressions that he makes in-game, only two of them were never used.

Unused Models#

Placeholder GET/MISS#

They are high-poly too...
GET.HMD and MISS.HMD contain hi-poly placeholder models for the GET/MISS screens.
Curiously, some letters have a stray polygon in a specific location

Unused Graphics#

Piece 1 Leftovers#

One of the Piece 1 items in those ITEML.DAT files.
ITEML.DAT in STG3, STG6 and STG9 folders (representing Pieces 3, 6 and Outer Circle respectively) contains items from Piece 1. There are no items to pick up in those stages.

Outer Circle contains some tiles and background data from Piece 1.

Error Text#

There are snippets of error messages found in executable and .BIN files, likely because of serial output function still in code.
Interestingly, some text lines are also present in Galaga: Destination Earth, suggesting the same engine being used.
