Antonball Deluxe/Unused Rooms
This is a sub-page of Antonball Deluxe.
Although not much, there's a couple of unused rooms.

Levels
Sewer Slam Template (rm_vs_template)
A room used to create Sewer Slam (and possibly other Vs. stages). The stage also used less bricks and colored bricks for both teams instead of only red and blue bricks. No end condition is present for this level, meaning the game will go on, even if all bricks are destroyed. The placed tiles uses an early Boiler Sewer tileset seen in the SAGE 2020 / Steam 2020 demos, though everything is misplaced. There's also no background, since the SAGE 2020 / Steam 2020 sewer background has been deleted.

Unknown Level #1 (rm_l25)
An unknown level that possibly would've gone in between Fudge Mountain and Brick Factory. Stages with a vertical hole where the ball could pass through the floor was a thing at some point, but scrapped because it was "bloody awful", according to one of the game's developers. Just like rm_vs_template, all the tiles are misplaced and there's no background.
Jungle Jam Level (rm_l26)
A cut Jam Jungle level, but it's for Phase 26, which is very odd. This is also one of the instances in which a level would extend the bricks to the ceiling, and in which the UI is layered incorrectly, so it doesn't show up. This is also the only unused level that's using an older Boiler Sewer tileset with the correct layout.
Unknown Level #2 (rm_l68)
Another unknown level that has the unused Big Ball power up. Once again, there's no background and misplaced tiles.
Other
Ending (fin)
An empty room with some text. This was always just a placeholder, as early builds of the game would use the command room_goto_next() when going to the next level. Without this room at the end of the room listing, the game would simply crash. Its resolution is messed up, but it reads:
CONGRATULATIONS!! YOU ARE A GREAT PLAYER. TRY AGAIN?
In an earlier build of the game, this room once showed a now deleted sprite of Anton.
Beachbrawl Background Test (rm_beachbrawl_bgtest)
As the title suggests, it's a background test for Beach Brawl. It only shows the city background layer and a single row of Boiler Sewer tiles.
Work In Progress Message (rm_demotext)
A leftover from the SAGE 2020 / Steam 2020 demo. The only difference is that this banner had its copyright date crudely changed to 2021.
