Unused Graphics
 | To do: This section needs to be entirely rewritten, as many of these "prototype" sprites are actually the final sprites, and vice versa. It would also seem that Odie uses different sets of sprites during different points in the game. |
Present among the title screen graphics are several earlier sprites of the enemies and characters.
