Unused Music

Unused Track

The composer of the game, Robert Baffy, told why it was unused and what name this track originally had. Here's the direct quote:

I didn't remember, but I just went through my email archive for the project and it was for "upbeat boss music" -- not attached to any particular level or boss in-game, but something I thought could be used for a more fun and frantic part of the game. We never found a spot for it unfortunately, it was one of my favorites. It was called SNG_SLAPHAPPY, which I now recall naming it that because I was pulling multiple late nights on various projects.

Phrases left with the US English spelling

US/EU	note
My new armor is impenetrable!	Not using "armour" in the EU version
The best armor!	Not using "armour" in the EU version
Yesss... I see a traveler...	Not using "traveller" in the EU version

However, the line "little purple traveller" is not using the spelling "traveler".

Oddly, in the EU version, the English name for "Celestial Plains" has added a trailing space: "Celestial Plains "

Unlike the previous game, 'A' is used as a placeholder for each name of the languages in the US version.

Unused Text

Present only in the US version are the names of all the fireflies. This is different from the 'You captured X' texts.

The list of languages contains "Dutch" left in English, unavailable in the game, suggesting a Dutch translation was planned at some point.

DUTCH ENGLISH FRANÇAIS DEUTSCH ITALIANO ESPAÑOL
