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 and also had a simple gate for all levels you could play in. 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)

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

sprite10261112

spr_entrancegate
The gate used for entering levels.
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.
Halloween Update
The 2023 Halloween Update added a whole bunch of sprites related to a playable Mr Stick, alongside sprites for another goblin variant that possibly functions like a toppin. These were previously suspected to be for a scrapped level called Stickland, however it was later confirmed via. leaks that this was not the case.
Coins & Cash
spr_stickcollect_largecoin
A large coin bearing Mr. Stick's likeness.
spr_stickcollect_coin
A small coin, also bearing his likeness.

Placeholder Sprites

A crude placeholder graphic of a chest, is seen in video footage giving collectables upon being touched.
spr_stickswitch_0
A placeholder sprite of a switch.
spr_stickswitch_1

Debris from the cage.
spr_goblincagedebris_1
Ditto.
spr_goblincagedebris_2

spr_goblinkey
The cage's key.
Unlike most sprites here, the key is actually referenced several times. obj_key and obj_keyfollow check if they're sprite is set to it and check variables "goblinkey", which is supposed to belong to obj_player but has been removed, and "global.goblinkey" which has also been removed. scr_player_keyget(), the state for getting a key, checks if goblinkey is set to true when creating obj_keyfollow, setting the object's sprite to the goblin key if it is. Both obj_key and scr_player_keyget set the goblinkey variable to false, preventing obj_keyfollow's sprite from being set to spr_golinkey in case goblinkey is somehow set to true beforehand. scr_playerreset(), the script ran when resetting, sets goblinkey to false.
Collectables
Old Toppings
Old versions of the collectable toppings the player finds throughout every level. These were introduced in the Early Test Build and survived all the way until the April 2021 build, where the designs of the toppings were replaced to their modern day counterparts.
Old Big Toppings
Before the big topping collectables were pizza toppings, they were pizzas instead, and like the old smaller toppings, these made it all the way until the April 2021 build.
Old Clock
An old version of the clock collectable. Used in the first version of the Boss build to activate Time Attack mode.
Old Escape Collectables
In the April 2021 build, new collectables appeared during Pizza Time, those being shrimp, fish, eggs, bacon and bananas. The bacon and banana collectables were reused for The Pig City's bacon room and Crust Cove's banana crates respectively, however the rest are left over.
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.

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

Used throughout most of Pizza Time.

Unused Swap Mode Sprites
Left over in the Noise Update files are icons for Swap Mode that never got used in the final game. These would have been used for the main menu, but instead are replaced with smaller icons.
Unused Character Select Icons
Alongside the unused Swap Mode icons, there are also unused icons meant for the character select screen, however these icons are visible when accessing the room using the debug command prompt, because the main game uses the P1 and P2 icons like the older version of the screen.
Old Exit Gates
The old exit gate that was used from Early Test Build to the Blue Block Land Builds still exists in the final game. Another variant is a version of the gate with the word “EXIT” on it, which was used from the SAGE 2019 Demo to the Rework Build.
Old Doors
Various old door designs are left in the game. Less is more might just be this game's motto, because the door designs were changed to be the same generic design, although each floor has a different door design of its own.

A golden door that would've been used in Pizzascape's treasure room.

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.

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.
