Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box

Regional DifferencesIs it the Diabolical Box or the Pandora's Box? English Translation Differences(Contains spoilers!) Thankfully not as complicated as the later Layton games. Lost in TranslationThe altered puzzles, some of which can be solved without any prior knowledge of Japanese. Bugs

Unused Puzzles#

Unused Wifi-Puzzle#

There are only 34 puzzles localized out of the 52 Wi-Fi puzzles from the JP version. One of the translated puzzles is never triggered normally, and thus remains unused: it is “Different Cats”, which has B as an answer and consists of a black model and five inverted-color mirrored patterns we must choose from. The rest of the puzzles have been mostly completely removed.

Puzzles with Unused Alternate Translation#

Two puzzles from the JP version were replaced with different puzzles in the US version. However, the original puzzles still exist in the US version, fully translated but unused. They're called Bird in a Hole (JP Puzzle 56) and Boxes of Treats (JP Puzzle 75).

Unused Graphics#

NPCs#

Placeholder NPC graphics.

Puzzle Graphics#

Graphics from unused puzzle types.

The Japanese text reads "Touch the cup you want to move!"

Subscreens#

Unfinished drawings of subscreen graphics.

Maps#

Unfinished/early versions of map sections. The top image could possibly be a prototype for the Folsense Plaza map.

Backgrounds#

A crudely drawn entrance.

Flora Face#

An unused face sprite of Flora giving a rather sinister smile. It's likely this would have been used in Chapter 6 when the 'Flora' that Layton and Luke are traveling with is revealed to actually be Don Paolo in disguise. This graphic is also present in the EXHD for Mobile version.

Separate Flora Audio#

During Don Paolo's aforementioned big reveal in Chapter 6, there are two lines spoken with both his and Flora's voices overlapping. There is another file, though, which is only Flora's voice. The lines are kept in the same audio file unlike the ones used for the actual reveal.

The single only purpose for this audio is for the 'Voices' bonus feature.

Untranslated Text#

'...But what does it mean?' This game has text or audio that needs to be translated. If you are fluent with this language, please read our translation guidelines and then submit a translation!
