NOTE: All of the filepaths take in consideration the folder Data.

Unused Graphics

Early Profile Viewer

The folder SelectProfile\player console contains an early variation of the profile viewer screen, labeled as player normal.jpg. It features less detailed buttons, and a background resembling a gameplay layout rather than the sky.

Level Editor Tiles?

The folder alltheme\tool contains tiles that could have likely been used in a level editor of sorts.

default.bmp

default_areadam.bmp

default_hold.bmp

default_nostop.bmp

default_walk.bmp

default_wall.bmp

Other

The root Data directory also contains some unused graphics, as listed below:

default.bmp is a red diamond.

Hideblog.bmp is a blue diamond.

number_(12,18).bmp is an unused graphic for numbers. It seems to be a leftover from Moontra Kid: The Ghost City.

shadow.bmp is a big shadow texture.

Thumbs.db Files

Throughout many of the game's folders are Thumbs.db files, which were used to store image thumbnail data in early versions of Windows. These files sometimes contain references to early versions of some of the images seen in-game, as well as to some deleted assets, as seen below:

Root

The game's root Data directory contains a thumbnail database which references three unused images. loco.jpg and loco_a.gif are leftovers from Ultraman: Little Adventure, while bg.jpg is an unused background image.

Another Thumbs.db file, in floor\pond, references a completely barren version of the pond tile, labeled as floor_pond1_1.bmp, which is also not present in the final game.

Likewise, the Thumbs.db file in floor\river contain references to four scrapped river tiles, labeled as 01.bmp, 02.bmp, 04.bmp and 4. These river tiles are much "thinner" than those used by the final game, and only their middle sections have water.

Lastly, the one in folder floor\vegetable also contains references to completely barren vegetable tiles, labeled as floor_vegetable1_1.bmp, floor_vegetable2_1.bmp and floor_vegetable3_1.bmp. All of them look exactly the same.

Folder: theme03

The folder floor\Block_road\dying grass contains a thumbnail database which hints that the dying grass texture was going to have three more variations. Despite this, only the intermediate texture is different, as noted below:

Used (d1\dying grass1-2.bmp)	Unused Thumbs.db - dying grass2-2.bmp	Unused Thumbs.db - dying grass3-2.bmp

Folder: weapon_monster

This folder contains particles used by bosses. The Thumbs.db file found in the folder ghostking contains a thumbnail for a now-deleted image, labeled throw.gif, which seems to have been an animated variation of the particle textures, which are stored as separate .jpg (colors) and .gif (alpha) textures in the final game.

Folder: character

The Thumbs.db file contained in the folder GHOST\Die\1 contains a thumbnail for ghost_Die.gif, which may have been an animated variation of the dying sprites for the ghost enemy.

Folder: Credits

The folder credits\pic contains miniatures of full in-game screenshots which are displayed in the game's credits. The Thumbs.db file found in it, however, hints that these screenshots may have initially been cropped, and that there were originally 10 of them rather than 8.

A thumbnail for a ninth uncropped image can also be found.

Unused Text

Thai Cutscene Strings

The game's cutscene text strings, found at Event1.txt, Event2.txt, Event3.txt and Event4.txt inside of the folder story\text, contain unparsed strings in Thai. It is likely that the used English text was translated from these strings.

"อาณาจักร Wonder Land ที่เคยมีแต่ความสงบสุข"
"ได้ถูกครอบครองโดย  3 สหายแห่งรัตติกาล"
"เพื่อนของ Hoppie จึงถูกจับตัวไป"
"Hoppie จึงต้องรีบวิ่งตามไปช่วย"

Event2.txt

"Wonder Land กลับมาสดใสส่วนหนึ่ง"
" แต่หุบเขาน้ำแข็งยังคงถูกปกคลุมด้วยความมืด "
"Hoppie มองไปยังที่นั่นแล้วรีบเดินทางไป"

Event3.txt

"ภูเขาน้ำแข็งที่เคยมืดมิดกลับมาสว่างสดใส"
"เกิดปราสาทโผล่ขึ้นกลางเมือง"
"Hoppie จึงมุ่งตรงไปที่นั่น"

Event4.txt

"ปราสาทถูกทำลาย"
"Wonder Land กลับมาสดใสอีกครั้ง"
"Hoppie และเพื่อนๆ อยู่กันอย่างมีความสุข"
