Sub-Pages

Unused Peppino Animations Yes, even the fat Italian has some unused animations, and there are a lot.

Unused Noise Animations That pesky gremlin again.

Blue Purple Block Land Build Leftovers

One of the Patreon builds titled Blue Block Land had sprites created for a placeholder hub room in a time when gates did not display level names. These served as a temporary replacement until that was implemented. There's also sprites for ranks and a "cover" for the build of sorts.

The mixup of the "Blue Block Land" and "Purple Block Land" names is the result of the solid objects being changed from blue to purple in one of the builds. These solids were, ironically, changed again for the final game to be a pink transparent square.

• 

  sprite1026
  The build's cover image for build v4, which presents the addition of wall climbing and the fireass transformation.
  (Text: Purple Land Week 3 (+1) Butt & Wallclimbing)

• 

  sprite10261111
  A window that would've appeared in front of a gate to indicate the level wasn't cleared yet.
  (Text: No Rankings Yet)

• 

  sprite10261
  Cover for the tutorial, which was John Gutter in this case.

• 

  sprite102611
  Cover for Pizzascape.
  (Text: Fun fact: Knight took shit in their armors)

• 

  sprite1026111
  Cover for The Ancient Cheese.

• 

  sprite10261112
  Cover for Bloodsauce Dungeon. By then, the game adapted purple solids.

Captain Bomb

Captain Goblin was originally called Captain Bomb and had a more humanoid design. The only sprites created for him consist of the same idle animation badly rotated and edited. He was probably replaced as his sprites would've obstructed the player's view too greatly.

• 

  spr_captainbomb
  Captain Bomb ready to fire. Although it doesn't animate, it has 16 frames.

• 

  spr_captainbombshoot
  Captain Bomb shouting "FIRE!" while shooting his cannon.

• 

  spr_captainbombdead
  Captain Bomb's cannon exploding on him after the player enters a room that Bomb isn't used in.

Credits Transformations

One sprite simply titled spr_credittransformation was used for the credits in the Halloween demo from 2018 to tease players for upcoming transformations. They're single frames, and the majority of these transformations were either changed visually or scrapped.

• 

  Early version of the Barrel transformation, with a more shaded barrel.

• 

  Sticky Cheese transformation.

• 

  Scrapped Meteor transformation, which has finished animations in the game's files.

• 

  Scrapped Spinny transformation. According to McPig, the transformation would have "[made] you spin, go real high then float back down spinning" and "Stun you for a second when landing." Notably, the final version of the Firemouth transformation depicts Peppino spinning as he jumps, but this has a minimal effect on the jump itself.

• 

  Scrapped Shy transformation. "Makes you unable to charge, slow. Spikes."

• 

  Scrapped Caffeinated transformation. "Makes you go really fast without being able to charge until you are hit and drop your coffee. Used to get through falling platforms that requires high speed instantly." Likely made obsolete by Dash Pads.

• 

  Scrapped Drunk transformation. No info was given for this, which suggests it was scrapped pretty early on. It would have most likely acted a lot like Drunk Wario from Wario Land II and 3.

• 

  Scrapped Muscle transformation. "Makes you able to destroy everything."

• 

  Cheeseball transformation.

• 

  Early Pizza Box transformation. Has visible legs and a logo on the top.

• 

  Scrapped Swiss transformation. No info was given for this either, but it was most likely an early version of the Ghost transformation, which would have been given to you by a... "fat guy that farts eating pizza". Notably, around the Western Builds, the ghost transformation was given via Ranch Shooters' bullets.

• 

  Scrapped Superhero transformation. Has an uncanny similarity to The Noise's old design. "Makes you fly anywhere and destroy metal blocks when running into them at high speed. Spikes."

• 

  Early Peshino/Animatronic transformation.

• 

  Early Fireass transformation.

• 

  Scrapped Sick transformation. No info was given for this one.

Old Pillar John Animations

Some old sprites for Pillar John. Since these sprites were never reused after his redesign, they've remained in the game's files using his earlier design.

• 

  spr_hungrypillar_mouth
  Pillar John opening his mouth to be fed Toppins, a scrapped mechanic that was last used for Demo 2.

• 

  spr_hungrypillar_happy
  Pillar John smiling. When the game's Toppin feed mechanic was still used, he would smile after you fed him all five Toppins. In later builds, he would smile if you walked away after approaching him.

Old Pause Screen

Sprites for one of the old pause screens (titled spr_pausescreen) that was used from the SAGE 2019 demo up to the April 2021 builds. It fully covers the screen and only gives three options, featuring Peppino's face next to the text.

• 

  Continuing a level.

• 

  Restarting a level, which wouldn't work if you were in a hub room for example.

• 

  Exiting a level or returning to the title screen if you were in a hub room.

Old Player HUD

This HUD, featuring just the face of the character you're playing as on the left side of the screen with an inventory slot and a speed bar, was used for half of the game's development and was updated over time with new animations for different characters and their transformations. It wouldn't be until the April 2021 Patreon build that it got replaced with the TV HUD used in the final game.

Almost all the sprites of the old HUD are here. The ones that no longer exist are the TV score displays.

• 

  spr_pizzaHUDcomplete
  Usage is unknown, since it didn't show up after a reload.

Pizzahead Boss Fight Sketches

To do: Elaborate based on some of the stuff seen in the September 2021 build.

A good number of sketches created for the 2nd and 3rd phases of Pizzahead's boss fight are in the game's files as separate sprites created from cutouts. Not every attack seen here appears during the final fight.

Used Attacks

• 

  spr_pizzahead_transition1
  Pizzahead in the Pizzaface capsule, who controls it instead of sitting on a toilet.

• 

  spr_pizzahead_surprisebox
  The only sketches with animations - Pizzahead using a surprise box from behind.

Scrapped 3rd Phase

One of the more bizarre things that these sketches reveal is that the final phase was going to play out a lot different than in the final game. Originally, Pizzahead wouldn't have pulled the floor bosses up for Peppino to rematch, but instead completely lose it with attacks depicting him frantically charging and punching Peppino. According to the developers and playtesters, this phase was scrapped as the developers didn't want to portray Pizzahead as an angry character, and instead be seen as nothing more than a clown. The proper sprites that were created for this phase never showed up in the game's files at all.

A couple of duplicate sketches exist as well in the form of spr_pizzahead and spr_pizzahead2.

  spr_pizzahead_bigkickstart

A very basic placeholder graphic for the Cardboard Tank.

Car Placeholder

And equally basic placeholder graphic for a car.

Placeholder Gabaghoul

A placeholder Sprite for the Gabaghoul enemies.

The background for The Noise's old boss arena is still present in the files...

Unused Enemy Animations

Unused Cheeseslime animations

The most common enemy has some unused animations, all leftover from 2018-era builds. The turning and falling animations even then went unused as the turning felt slow, and Cheeseslimes don't fall off ledges. The bounce animation is a leftover from when they could be used like springs.

Eggplantmobile idle

An unused idling animation for the Eggplantmobile, leftover from their initial concept of being recruitable in the scrapped Mansion level, and using their abilities to the player's advantage.

Pineacool Parrying

Originally the Pineacool enemies would taunt to the beat of a level's music, similar to the enemies in the New Super Mario Bros. games, though this was scrapped. Pineacools still taunt when the player taunts near them, though this feature being removed disallowed them the ability to potentially parry the player.

Big Cheese death sprite

The Big Cheeses weren't always invincible, evidently; In early builds such as the Golf demo, these enemies could be KO'd, with this sprite being used upon defeat.

Noisey Jumping

When the Noiseys were re-occurring enemies, rather than a boss hazard, they had 2 phases; Their 1st being the normal walking one, and then the 2nd one where they bounce around on a spring. Likely scrapped for it being deemed too hard to attack them in this state, especially on the front.

Toppin Monsters walking

There are walking animations for the Mushroom and Cheese Monsters. In early versions of the Don't Make A Sound level, the Toppin Monsters would roam freely and would chase when the player was in their view, instead of only being active when the alarms go off.

Pineapple Toppin summoning the Pineapple Toppin Monster

Also within those early versions, the Pineapple Toppin Monster would be summoned when this Toppin smiled. Only one of the smiling frames gets used in the final game, as one of its taunts.

Pineapple Toppin Monster Jumpscare

This was used in the Eggplant Build when you got jumpscared by an animatronic summoned by the pineapple monster.

Loose Sprites

These sprites are single and don't have several animations that would otherwise make them part of a gallery.

spr_finaljudgement2

The final judgement that is given when the game is first beat was originally permanent. If a player wanted to try for a different judgement, they would have to either delete their save and start over, or start a new game in another save slot. A textless version of this screen can be seen in-game as of update v1.0.594 when attempting to exit the Halloween Event's Tricky Treat bonus level through the starting point using the Ghost transformation before the game closes itself, but this version remains unused. The screen with the textless version appears to be some sort of an error handler, because it also appears when doing other unintended things in the game
