Valuable Mowers#

An upgrade that would make lawn mowers drop two coins instead of one at the end of a level.

Powerup Duration 1 & 2#

Two upgrades that would have made power-ups last longer. These use the Manual Mowers upgrade sprite as a placeholder.

BACON#

Added in 1.9.2 is an item for collectable bacon, which costs 10 coins each and can be bought by tapping the X at the bottom of its info box (a placeholder sprite for a missing image). Bacon bought is not saved. This may have been similar to the bacon purchasable in the mobile version of the first game that did nothing.

An unused feature named "BACONPOCALYPSE" exists, which would presumably be an event that replaces sun with bacon as the game crashes when sun starts to fall. This may have been related to the purchasable bacon.

Vase Color Changer#

An unused Vasebreaker power-up that would have allowed you to change the color of a vase, revealing whether or not there is a plant inside. This was likely scrapped due to Power Reveal Vase essentially doing the same thing but showing even more info about what's inside the vase.

Cherry Bomb Powerup#

An unused power-up that would have allowed you to place Cherry Bombs anywhere.

This was intended to be used in a Piñata Party, as evident by text strings for it, although which Piñata Party it was exactly is unknown.
