Trajectile/Unused Stages

From The Cutting Room Floor
Jump to navigation Jump to search

This is a sub-page of Trajectile.

Across the 311 stage files present in script\stage, only 230 (plus the non-playable tutorial stage) are used for the game's files. As shown by these unused stages, a number of changes were made to the game's mechanics and file structures.

  • A majority of the stages have 10 shots, compared to the game's final 3, 5 or 7 depending on the stage's color, indicating more shots could be fired earlier in development. The side of the screen does display the amount of missiles correctly, while the counter on top glitches out if it goes beyond 8.
  • Some stages don't use coordinates (from -8 to 8) and instead opt to use pixels (presumably going up to 256), suggesting the game used pixels to give more precise locations for the missiles. This no longer works properly and wraps missiles around, sometimes putting them in one of the walls.
  • Stages use a variety of different file formats, with some levels missing additional variables in its header or using a different identifier. Despite this, all stages load properly.

As you can see, even small DSiWare games have tiny huge oddities hidden in plain sight.

Regular Stages

stage_00100

stage_00110

DSi-Trajectile-stage 00110-1.png
Identifier: 4.9
Offset type: Pixels

A stage with portals, hard blocks and double item blocks. Based on this stage, it seems like blue portals were the only portals in the game at some point by attaching a specific portal to a teleporter. This doesn't work properly anymore, leaving the portal on the bottom right warpless.

stage_00112

DSi-Trajectile-stage 00112-1.png
Identifier: 4.9
Offset type: Pixels

An early version of Platinum 12 with numerous differences:

  • Circles are used instead of two bars with blocks in them. This leaves less room to enter the teleporter.
  • The enemy blocks on the top were moved around a bit.
  • An extra bomb block is present on the top right.
  • A ton of additional normal blocks aren't present.
  • Slopes are present on each corner of the stage.

This is the only stage that is unbeatable. Originally, it seems like portals would've been both an entrance and an exit, compared to the final game, which uses a separate object for teleporting the missiles. As a result, the game crashes if you try to enter the portal.

stage_00150

DSi-Trajectile-stage 00150-1.png
Identifier: 4.9
Offset type: Coordinates

An early version of Diamond 22 with a number of differences:

  • Two hard blocks are present near the bottom. These were removed altogether.
  • The double item block occupies one of the slots for one of the Bomber blocks. In the final stage, this double item block was moved to near one of the enemy blocks.
  • The portal system, much like stage_00102, functions differently. Going into one of the portals crashes the game due to a missing teleporter.

DSi-Trajectile-stage 01001 ALT-1.png
Identifier: 4.;
Offset type: Coordinates

A simple stage with one enemy block and a portal. As suggested by macro_def.bs2, this was once a tutorial stage showcasing how portals function. By default, the player has a Driller Item.

However, with the release of the international versions, this unused stage was swapped out with an early version of Silver 43. The layout is identical, but the shot amount is different and the player starts with a Driller Item by default.

A stage in the shape of Mario! This isn't out of the ordinary, as there are a few stages that appear to reference items from the Mario franchise. There's hard blocks making Mario's hat and face visible, seven bomb blocks and two double item blocks.
