MNUC SCREEN INSTRUCTIONS 2 TXT	Press {i:button_picture_01} to accept settings.	The "Accept Changes" prompt is used instead.

key_text_05	You have five of the Keys!	Scrapped in favor of the "The Gates are Open!" message.

Rock Slide#

Filename	Text	Comments
monster1Text	Oh! Ya got me!	This text seems to imply that the four big monsters found in Rock Slide were meant to be defeated on the way down (similar to Now That We're Men). Remnants of this idea can still be heard in-game, such as when Patrick's says "Take that, you big monster thing!" after seeing the giant monster crab.

Alternate Planktopolis Text#

There are subtle differences between the text found in both parts of "Welcome to Planktopolis... Minions". These differences will be crossed out.

Filename	Text	Comments
AmbushTask	Press [Talk]'' to warp to the~~Ambush~~ Combat Arena Challenge''.	The unused text still refers to the Combat Arena Challenge by its original name.
bungee_counter_text	{counter:~~BUNGEE_COUNTER_01~~BUNGEE_TEXT_COUNTER_01/10}	The unused text shows the counter for the first bungee pit.
SpongeBallText	Press [Talk]'' to warp to the ~~SpongeBall Challenge~~ SpongeBall Challenge''.	The unused version does not highlight "SpongeBall Challenge".
tutorial_sonicwave_text	Hint: You can use your guitar to launch a ~~sonic wave~~ *sonic wave''* that will defeat some enemies. Press[Sonic Wave]'' and steer the wave at the enemy.	Unused hint does not highlight "sonic wave".

ability_reminder_text	Mindy: You need ~~more~~ 40 Goofy Goober Tokens before I can teach you the Sonic Wave.	The Goofy Goober Token requirement was specified, though ironically the initial ability_description_text in the final game forgets to do this.
ability_success_text	Mindy: SpongeBob, you've got enough Goofy Goober Tokens for me to teach you a new ability. You have a special power that you can use. SpongeBob~~_NPC~~: I do? Mindy: Yes, you have the power of music. SpongeBob: 257 and a half watts of ear-splitting metal! ~~Mindy:~~ Hint: You can press ~~the~~ *[Sonic Wave]* ~~button~~ to launch a ~~sonic wave~~ *Sonic Wave''* from your guitar. SpongeBob~~_NPC~~:~~Wow, the~~ The power of music. Mindy:You can steer the ~~sonic wave~~ Sonic Wave'' right to where you want it to hit.	The early version found in Part 2 originally had a separate SpongeBob NPC saying a few lines instead of the player. SpongeBob originally said "wow" in one of his lines. Mindy also doesn't say one of the lines in the final game as it gets replaced by a Hint prompt.
mainchallenge_description_text	Mindy: SpongeBob! Thank Neptune...I mean dad! Where have you guys been? SpongeBob: We did it Mindy! We went to Shell City and got Neptune's Crown! Mindy: Oh SpongeBob, I knew you could do it! But my father is already at the Krusty Krab 2, on the other side of Planktopolis! SpongeBob: Oh no! There are bucketheads everywhere! How will we get through? Mindy: I found out that Plankton is controlling the bucketheads using those giant statues. If we destroy them we can break his control. SpongeBob: Let's get it ~~awn~~ on!	An entire line from Mindy was removed, but it can still be heard in one of the unlockable Extras. A comma was removed. Finally, SpongeBob once said "awn" instead of "on".
mainchallenge_reminder_text	Mindy: Destroy the ~~statues~~ statues and you'll break Plankton's control over the bucketheads! SpongeBob: We'll do it Mindy. I didn't ride the ~~..........~~ ,,, for nothing. Mindy: What's a ~~..........~~,,,?	The word "statues" was not highlighted, and several dots instead of three commas were used for censoring words (although dots are still used in Bubble Blowing Baby Hunt).

Combat Arena Challenges#

Filename	Text	Comments
FailureText	You lose. Would you like to try again? [Y/N]	The Combat Arenas planned to have an option to quit the level.
Wave1	Wave 1 of 3	A separate version of the text for starting Wave 1, independent of the "Defeat all enemies!" text sequence. It likely suggests that the first wave was originally started automatically rather than by pressing Continue.

wave2_born_counter_text	{counter:WAVE_2_COUNTER_01}
