Taisen Tanto-R Sashissu!! is a spin-off and the final game in the Puzzle & Action Series. It's basically if PaRappa The Rapper had a gambling addiction.

Graphics#

Unused Characters#

Hidden inside the game's data are unused textures for the protagonists (Temona-Kun & Meruko-Chan) from a previous Sega ST-V game titled "Ejihon Tantei Jimusho"

Temona-Kun

Meruko-Chan

Along with extra face textures, Meruko has a texture of her being electrocuted. Although there is no part in the game where a character gets electrocuted.

It seems at one point they were going to be part of the roster but was scrapped at some point in development. They did however reuse (and extend) a music track from Ejihon for the minigame "小銭減らしで対決!! (Showdown to Reduce Change!!)"

Unused Textures#

In Cheap's Level 3 texture data, an unused texture of a missile can be found. It's unknown what this would've been used for.

A similar thing was done with Juzo's texture data, except it's a staff.

These are the backside textures for the Player 2 variant of the continue/bankruptcy models. While these should technically be used, during the actual cutscene the models never turn away from the camera, meaning the backside textures are never rendered therefore making them unused.

Unused Sprites#

This needs some investigation. Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page. Specifically: Find the correct color palettes (if they even exist)

An animation for "アリンコで対決!! (Ant Showdown!!)" meant for the minigame select screen in single player mode. Due to the minigame only being available in two player mode (via the random minigame card), this goes unused.

Alternate character select mugshots of the characters in their continue/bankruptcy designs. What these could've been used for is unknown.

In the single player mode, when you beat a CPU and win the round a small cutscene will play and in the background there will be a black and white mugshot of the character you will play against in the next round.

Mugshot	Description
	Because Mee is (and always is) the CPU of Round 1 and there's no one before him, this sprite goes unused
	Likely a placeholder sprite
	Same as above, the text translates to "Bankruptcy"

Unused signs meant for "坂でパン喰い (Bread-Eating on a Hill)" (Hey it's Temona again!)

Unused sprites of people cheering, also meant for "Bread-Eating on a Hill"

A random crocodile

Cards with (mostly) animals on them

A (single) sprite of a fire

An animation of a heart breaking (Note: The palette used is from another sprite)

Music#

There are 3 versions of the How to Play theme, one of which being unused
