Marble Blast Platinum Leftovers

This is a sub-page of PlatinumQuest.

PlatinumQuest, being derived from Marble Blast Platinum (and also including it's levels/assets), naturally has all leftovers from that game. Most content here also goes unused in Marble Blast Platinum.

Unused Graphics#

Several unused graphics exist in platinum/data/interiors.

Early Tunnel Vision#

PlatinumQuest Unused TV-DM2.jpg

This is a screenshot of an early version of the Marble Blast Platinum Expert level "Tunnel Vision". The file is named "TV-DM2.jpg", TV meaning Tunnel Vision and DM likely meaning Double Maze.1 Many Marble Blast Platinum levels were community levels uploaded to the Custom Level Archive (CLA) in ~2006-2007, and this is one of those.

cyberspace1-5.jpg#

PlatinumQuest Unused Cyberspace.jpg

This graphic of a fake Windows XP error dialog exists, and the graphic is repeated four extra times for some reason. Every file is the exact same.

Vending Machine#

PlatinumQuest Unused Machinecandy.jpg

A very low quality picture of a vending machine.

Developer's Face#

PlatinumQuest Unused Pf2.jpg

A picture of one of the developer's face with the word "CUTE" in blue text on top. Judging by the filename "pf2", it is likely this is a picture of Perishingflames, who created the Advanced level "Frictional Ascent".

Unused Interiors#

Lots of interiors exist from Marble Blast Platinum, such as alternate versions of levels and parts of scrapped levels.

Wall_crack.dif#

PlatinumQuest Unused Wallcrack Interior.png

A cube with four platforms on each side. It is unknown what this was used for, possibly a scrapped level.

Floor_Climb.dif#

PlatinumQuest Unused FloorClimb Interior.png

An early version of the level Floor Climb. The final game uses FloorClimb.dif instead. There is also a duplicate of this interior named Floor_Climb2.dif.
