We get to see a few unused objects in action, such as the Hammer, Shovel, and hand, as well as the unused angel creature. The sleeper was also meant to do more actions: falling asleep, rolling (possibly when tumbling down hills), and falling through thin terrain. There is also an alternate design for the sleeper, which looks more 3D and realistic (and wouldn't entirely be out-of-place among the Yoshi's Island prologue cutscene graphics). Another sleeper design, with an orange-yellow cap, is located in the z-sword directory.
NOTE: Unless the .COL file is specified, most gifs were made using the sleeper.COL palette.
