The Gigglebone Gang continue their escapades in the kingdom of Pantsylvania, where they make the fancy pants. (That's right!)

Velma tells kids about sackbuts, Bunji makes worm juice and slime pancakes, Clyde still does his I Spy thing (and hit puberty too), and newcomer Monkie-Sue gets into conflicts with the local ruffian, Rotten Wrench. Oh, and Kingamajig sings about playing with his bouncy balls or something.

Prototype Info

Unused Graphics

All of Pantsylvania's unused graphics come from its Poke 'n Prod segments.

General

Normal	Hungry (unused)

A "hungry" variant of Bunji's jumping sprite is present in the data for every Poke 'n Prod segment. It goes unused as Bunji only uses her jumping sprite in the game's intro cutscene, which doesn't allow her to get hungry.

Chez Cheese

An explosion effect with what appears to be some illegible text underneath it.

Kid U

Early	Final

An older version of the diaper item's sprite, in which it lays on the floor instead of standing straight up.

Rotten Wrench's Swamphouse

Early	Final

Earlier versions of the two ghosts that come out of the Spooky Flask. They were given proper colors and had their bodies flipped, and the length of the second ghost's shirt was shortened.

Unused Sounds

Fancy Pants Factory

Furry Tales

Early	Final

A placeholder voiceline for Rotten Wrench's catchphrase. It's equally likely that the line was meant for the transformed pants machine, who doesn't speak when clicked on.

Pantsylburbia

Poke 'n Prod

Bunji: Hoo hoo! Hey, kinda... off-white!

Bunji talking about an "off-white" material for the house. This was likely meant for the paint job that the house starts off with.

Rotten Wrench's Swamphouse

Seek 'n Find

Early	Final

Another placeholder line, meant for Clyde talking about the punctured tire. The early line calls the item a different name, "worn-out old tire".

Poke 'n Prod

Early	Final

Yet another placeholder voiceline; this time, it's one of Rotten Wrench's "caught you" lines.

Hub of Pantsportation

Fancy Facts

Audio	Subtitle
	Velma: Know how they get around in places covered by snow and ice?
	Velma: With dog sleds! Sled dogs are smart, they like workin' together, and they're strong enough to pull sleds right over the snow! Other vehicles get stuck. Nope, dogs are the way to go in snow!

Unused Velma dialogue for an equally-cut segment about sled dogs. This is the only remnant of the fact left in the data.

Unused Text

A developer message relating to importing sounds can be found in the data for every Seek 'n Find segment:

Don't move this place holder. It has to follow the cast
that's being called to import sounds.

In addition, Symfunny Hall's Furry Tales segment has a developer note relating to the stage's curtains:

Some notes:

Cast

Curtain
CurtainA and CurtainZ must surround all curtain cast members. These are the
clickable casts to close and open the curtain.
