Prototype Info

Unused Music

MUSIC/STAB_00.MIB contains a short audio clip of the title screen music ending. This audio clip would have been used as music in one of game's minigames.

In the European version, MUSIC/TRACK_14.MIB and TRACK_15.MIB contain an unused track that would have been used in one of the unused minigames like Robot Boxing.

Crazy Cook

A minigame that's an exclusive to the European version, in which players have to press and hold their Buzzer to fart and score points while the Robot Pirate is looking away. If he spots you, you'll get hit in the head and lose points. You have to score the most points to win. When the minigame is over, it plays a short animation where the Robot Pirate farts and laughs before the foreground door closes. This minigame is very similar to the Bubble Bath minigame in Buzz! Junior: Jungle Party.

North American Leftovers

Although the minigame was removed entirely in the North American version (possibly due to the toilet humor involved), MOVN/45.PSS contains a demonstration video for the minigame.

Leftover Audio Clips

There are a few unused leftover voice clips from the announcer "Sarge" for this minigame.

Unused Voice Clips

To do: There might be more.

Found within the game's data are a few unused voice clips recorded by Philip Maurice Hayes.

General

• This audio clip is supposed to be an introduction to the game:

• An early name for the minigame "Octo-Beat" is simply named "Alien Beat"

Minigame Demonstration Retakes

There are a few retakes for the demonstration videos for a few minigames.

• Astro Blaster:

• Saucer Shootout has a scrapped gameplay mechanic where if you shoot an alien, it'll jump onto your ship and try to eat you. Pressing the Buzzer will fry them with your shields. This mechanic was used in the January 12, 2007 prototype.

• Space Jumping:

Unused Mini-Games

To do: Find a proper way to access these unused minigames via CodeBreaker codes.

Robot Boxing

Robot Boxing

In the European version, LEVELS00/GAME_006 contains an unused boxing minigame named "Robot Boxing" or "Robot Rumble". This minigame is likely fully complete in the final build as it's also present in the files of the prototype. You can access this minigame by swapping the game's files with this minigame, however, it doesn't work correctly as the game handles this minigame as any other minigame you've selected. So the results will be pretty buggy. You can access this minigame with memory editing or a CodeBreaker code, and it'll work as attended.

Rainbow Robots

Rainbow Robots

LEVELS01/GAME_011 contains a minigame for the mysteriously named "Rainbow Robots" as listed in the prototype. This minigame looks pretty simple, but it still doesn't work correctly just like with Robot Boxing. Accessing this level with memory editing or a CodeBreaker will get it to work as attended.
