The Fairly OddParents: Breakin' Da Rules (GameCube, PlayStation 2, Xbox)

Breakin' Da Rules is a game based on The Fairly OddParents cartoon that revolves around Timmy doing exactly what the title says, along with fixing Da Rules across 10 levels.

Unused Animations#

To do: Retake without rotating lights. Faces would be cool too but I doubt that'd be possible without hacking the game.

Timmy#

Pushing/Pulling Blocks#

A set of pushing and pulling animations for Timmy. There's no such mechanic in this game, however these were repurposed in the sequel.

Miscellaneous#

A very long animation of Timmy holding down (and getting hit in the face by) an unknown object.

Mom#

An unused walk cycle.

Likely a talking animation. Whenever she speaks, she only uses her generic breathing animation.

Dad#

An unused walk cycle.

Unused Music#

episode8.str#

A music track intended for the level A Dog's Life.

cb_c_sting.str#

An unused stinger meant for the level Chinless Blunder.

Partially Unused Map#

There's a map underneath Timmy's room showing the front of Timmy's house only seen in cutscenes. The camera changes locations based on how close you are to the house and what's interesting is that if you enter the house, you will be greeted with Bad Luck 101.

Unused Text#

characters.txt#

The configuration file characters.txt contains text left by a developer.

;       This is used for the files which need the boundary for the starting
;       position like ADPCM data.  (ADPCM needs to be aligned with a 32KByte
;       boundary according to the specification.)
;       The evaluation priority is decided depending on the <Priority> value.

; [Layout] Section
;
;   <Priority>="<File Name>",<laypout val>
;
;       The <File Name> file is laid out on the optical disk according to the
;       <layout val> value.
;       If the <layout val> value is negative, the files are laid out from the inside of the disk, and if it is positive, they are laid out from the outside of the disk.
;       This is used to lay out files on the outer area to shorten the access
;       time.
;       The evaluation priority is decided depending on the <Priority> value.
;       (A bigger numerical value takes higher priority.)

Platform Differences#

• The game runs at 30fps on GameCube and PlayStation 2, while the Xbox version runs at 60fps.
• The GameCube version lacks the bonus episode, probably due to disc space limitations.
