Broken Cheat Code
Holding L1 and pressing Down, Down, Down, Down on Controller 2 will display the line "Cheat activated."
The cheat by default doesn't actually seem to do anything, because the function that handles this specific cheat checks if a certain parameter of a weapon equals to 2, which no weapon in the game has. This value 2 is an unused 2nd set for prank-specific weapons. The check can be patched with the codes below, which makes it ignore the aforementioned weapon parameter.
The patched cheat for the most part gives the same items as the 1st weapon set, with the only notable exceptions being the unobtainable Flashlight and the scrapped Super Spud gun.
- *The normal weapon cheat that's activated by holding L1 and pressing Up, Up, Up, Up only gives weapons where this value equals to 1, and the remaining weapons have this value set to 0.

Locations
Greaser Hideout Restroom
There is a restroom door in the hideout that is always locked but is unlocked after beating the game. This is because this door, ESCDoorL, shares the same name as the door in the library, which gets unlocked after beating Ted in Complete Mayhem.
Unaccessible Tenements Room
The mission The Tenements spawns a door that locks an empty room that would otherwise be accessible. This door is called BossFight_NortonsDoor. Norton's boss fight was originally supposed to take place here, rather than in the bigger room on the other side of the building that is entered through a crack in a wall, that other room seems to have been made later in development considering that it does sort of stick out and doesn't make much sense with rest of the building's layout.
Unpathed Area
A small area in the Happy Endings Retirement Home isn't pathable to peds.
Missions
Hattrick vs. Galloway
Mr. Hattrick is scripted to have a view radius that detects when the player gets in his sight with a bottle collected.
This will make him say a set of lines but he won't chase nor will the player be in trouble for this, the MS_ChaseAdult music does play but it immediately fades away.
As shown by other unused sets of lines for this mission, it was planned for the player to have to avoid being seen with the bottles by the faculty.
Whether this feature doesn't work as intended or if this programming for Hattrick is a leftover that the developers forgot to remove is unknown.
Nice Outfit
If the player starts a fight against any non-jock student, the Vendetta Jocks theme will play.
This is because the mission's script assigns MS_FightHigh02 as the High-Intensity Stream, meaning it will play during any fight against any student.
Even odder, this file isn't the jocks' theme per se, but just a copy of it (the original being MS_FightingJocks).

Minigames
Gym Class
The player's ground spit Humiliation move is unlocked after Gym 3, however, this move is not taught during it (although it can be performed). Due to this, the move's unlocking requirement is an obscure fact.
Lawn Mowing
If the player runs over Dorsey during the jobs, he will say a set of lines that noticeably don't match with the situation: these indicate that originally Dorsey's customers were meant to be present during the jobs and the player would have had to avoid hitting them with the lawnmower, but those customers are not present in the final game and these quotes were instead repurposed in this out-of-place way.
| Filename | Audio | Transcript |
|---|---|---|
| Dorsey_LAWNM_007_v1 | Hey! Don't hit my customers. | |
| Dorsey_LAWNM_007_v2 | Hey! That's my customer. | |
| Dorsey_LAWNM_007_v3 | Hey! Look where you're driving, kid. | |
| Dorsey_LAWNM_007_v4 | You crazy or something? |
Textures
Duplicate Texture
While these graphics are used in the Help Bucky intro cutscene, they are in two separate texture files (TestC0 & C1), even though they're both exactly the same.
Lola Icons
These Lola icons share the same name, meaning that during the mission The Tenements, the game will randomly pick one between the two.
Lola
(meant for the mission)
Lola
(meant for the yearbook)
Mandy Poster HUD Graphic
The HUD graphic in the mission Discretion Assured shows a poster that is not seen anywhere else in the game, with Mandy doing a pose seen only here and some unreadable that judging by unused quotes, it might have been intended to be Mandy's phone number.
Comic Store Early Map
In the Nerds' Hideout, there are two pictures of the campus' minimap.
One of them shows something on the bottom right, next to the Library and behind the Boys' Dorm. In the final game, nothing is there.
Room Trophies
The Room Trophies Jimmy can get while progressing through the game seem to have been made earlier in development.
The boxing glove uses the same texture as Jimmy's unused Boxing Outfit.
The photo of Gord and Lola shows them in their earlier designs and at the Gazebo in Old Bullworth Vale, rather than in the alleyways in Bullworth Town, which is more in line with the unused dialogue.
The jersey has a different design, as worn by Ted in a picture from Jared Fry's portfolio.
The picture of Pinky shows her in an earlier design, which is the same one seen in Jared Fry's portfolio.
The picture of Mandy shows her in an earlier design as well.
The dodgeball is shown in an earlier design, as seen in pre-release screenshots.
The helmet uses the same texture as Jimmy's unused Wrestling Outfit.
Audio
BoysDormRoom04
This is used as ambiance near some of the boys' dorm doors, and the audio itself is a distorted version of the intro cutscene of A Little Help (1-06) and, more interestingly, an early cutscene audio of the Welcome to Bullworth ending cutscene in Jimmy's room (1-02E).

I'm feeling self-important now that I finally hit puberty. |

Kirby's Mission Voice Clips
The game has two types of character voice clips: compressed non-mission lines and uncompressed mission lines of noticeably better quality.
The only exception to this pattern is Kirby, for some reason, as all his mission quotes are compressed just like non-mission ones, with the exception of his unused Kirby_5-04_034_v1 quote meant for The Gym is Burning.
Scooter Colors
Unlike the Go-Kart, despite having multiple colors, the unlockable Scooter only spawns in white color. Pedestrians can, however, be seen riding scooters in different colors that can be stolen, but not stored, making the recolored scooters impossible to obtain.
Internal Inconsistencies
Character Changes
- Angie's ID, 39, is grouped with the Preppies', placed between 38 (PRGirl_Pinky) and 40 (PRH3a_Parker). She might have taken the place of a scrapped character.

- While in the basement during Help Gary, the game plays MS_CarnivalFunhouseMiner which, judging by its name, was meant to be used in the mine section in Funhouse Fun.
- The tracks used during Rats in the Library are codenamed MS_FinalShowdown meaning they were meant for the mission Final Showdown. The music tracks used for that mission are instead labeled MS_FinalShowdown03, possibly meaning the song might have gone through at least three iterations, no tracks named MS_FinalShowdown02 can be found in the files.
Vehicle Changes
- The blue bike unlocked in Shop 4 is internally called custombike.
- One of the vehicles in the game is a car that is always blue. It is internally called taxicab, and it later reappeared as a taxi (probably unintentionally) on the Xbox 360 version of Scholarship Edition.
