So, among that StageData, I noticed something very interesting:
# WorldMap01Galaxy
# WorldMap08Galaxy
That is an eighth world map. No lighting data, though. Would it be possible to force the game to load this in place of, say, World S? Regardless, this suggests that a metric asston of content was cut before release. Enough for another world, at any rate. If these are just dummy files, I apologize; I don't have a copy of the ISO on hand, myself. |

| Unused world seems likely, since it's missing its lighting.
Also, PeachCastleInsideZone suggests that, at one point, the intro was considerably longer. Either that or you were able to revisit it a la Grand Finale Galaxy. That one's empty, though, so we can assume it is lost. EDIT: Also, I doubt they deleted anything; Galaxy 2 included scavenged bits from the first game's production, supposedly, so I'd guess they just removed the contents from the build script. Same to us, but it means technically most of this still exists. You'll just not ever see it. Can the world maps be loaded in a model viewer? |

| Well, that's a shame. Anything intelligible?
I wonder if the WorldMap files are interchangeable? Assuming a common format, could you force the game to load WorldMap08's existing data by renaming it to WorldMap05.arc/WorldMap05GalaxyMap.arc/etc. and loading it in Riivolution as a patch? You'd get a broken result, but depending on how hardcoded the details of the world maps are you could get something usable. Might try it when the ISO finishes. Can't hurt, can it? EDIT: Nope, crashes before anything usable shows up. Starting in World 6, it would crash as soon as I opened the World Map. I expected the crash but was hoping for the hybrid map to partially load before the game choked... I guess not. EDIT2: Looking at the ObjectData, though, World 8 has no icon, so it must have been cut fairly early on. EDIT3: Cosmic Clones are stored as InfernoMario, making me think the original intent as that they'd be on fire as opposed to simply being a retexture. EDIT4: A handful of models I didn't recognize and suspect may be unused:
From CloudSliderObstacle.arc; it's a tall crate. Don't quote me on its being unused; I don't remember every crate I see and this probably IS used. Still, I don't recall seeing it...
From JewelRelayPlanet.arc. Very early, untextured planet resembling a cut gemstone.
From MechanicKoopaMini.arc; these guys don't come back, do they? I BELIEVE they're limited to the first game.
VsKingTossinPlanet.arc. This has to be unused; the textures are broken, so the walls are only textured from within.
WingBlock.arc; I don't remember seeing this. This is 8 AM and I've been awake all this time, so don't quote me on anything other than VsKingTossinPlanet. EDIT5: Debug text. Needs proper formatting.
More...
...and more. There seems to be more debug leftovers than in Galaxy 1. I wonder if any of the back-end is left? |

| All right, that's fine. Debug text is still noteworthy.
The patch isn't viable; it crashes, if you look there. |

| All right, good to know those about World 8/debug. I've not even looked at main.dol yet.
Cleaned up the other two I got out of DebugMessage.arc. All of these are in DebugMessage.msbt and MessageCheck.msbt, so if you could run those two files through the parser that'd be great; it'd probably be cleaner than this by far.
Looks like it's for a more complex in-level debug mode. There are random symbols in front of some lines; presumably they designate something?
Menu text, it looks like. |

| JewelRelayPlanet is used in Battle Belt; it has ice applied to it. Oh well!
(Either that or Rolling Rock; there are two planets that look like that model) Found a room that MIGHT be unused; doing a quick checklist before I post it. EDIT: I can't find anything related to it, so here; if it's used, please tell me where. It looks like it should go in Slipsand or Clockwork Ruins, but it doesn't seem to be used... So, ZeroGravityRoomPlanet:
And ZeroGravityRotateStep:
I don't recall any null-gravity rooms like this. Nor do I remember that step. It would have been on the wall; I'd guess within the circles. Big one might have contained a pipe or a Star or something. I prefer to be thorough, so if it arouses my suspicion I post it. I'm aware that most of what I post will be used, but better safe than sorry. And I cannot for the life of me remember this room... |
