Trials HD

To do:

  • See if there's more than just unused graphics and tracks, Fusion Explorer could prove rather useful in finding more unused content.
  • Investigate early builds to check for more content.
  • Also check the DLCs for unused stuff, including the unreleased Highway to 2010 and Race Pack DLCs
  • Document unused tracks

No mustard on my ham sandwich, I'm on my bike... It's trials time! No mustard on my bike.

Trials HD is the sequel to Trials 2: Second Edition and was the first Trials game to be released on consoles. This game has more of the same: bike riding, deadly hazards, squirrels... you get it by now.

Unused Graphics#

Gear Icons#

Used

Unused

Different variants of the rider gear icons exist that appear to be based off the key art and in-game rider model go unused for some reason.

There are also duplicates of the unused icons except for the shirt icon and a duplicate of the used pants icon.

Skill Game Icons#

Icons exist for two seemingly unused skill games.

The first one is one titled Freestyle, it is unknown what it could have been.

There is also an unlock icon associated with the Freestyle skillgame.

The second one is unknown, perhaps it is related to bowling with the steel ball seen in other skill games?

Notifications#

A pair of icons exist for challenge unlocks, presumably as placeholders.

Game Mode Icons#

Icons for various game modes.

Difficulty Icons#

Used

Unused

Different icons for the 5 difficulties exist in the files. Most of the art would later be reused for other things.

Editor Categorys#

An icon for an unused track editor category. It looks a bit different compared to the icons that do get used.
