Unused Music

1st Grade Song (Unused Variant)

HW001.BAL contains an unused version of the 1st Grade Song. There are two variations of the 1st Grade Song that are used in-game, one sung by Frankie and the other by Floyd. Since HW001.BAL contains assets for the Hallway where Floyd can be found, it's possible this was intended for Floyd. However, Floyd's in-game song has entirely different vocals and some lyrical differences from this unused version. Additionally, this song can't be accessed from the Hallway in-game, since it only plays in the Music Room.

Extended Credits Theme

CD001.BAL contains an unused longer variation of the credits music, which is an instrumental version of Ms. Nobel's Gravity Song. The unused version is for the entire song, but the in-game version cuts off around 30 seconds in.
