GraphicsIcon.png This game has unused graphics.


Nintendo has created a lot of memorable characters over the years. Stanley the Bugman is not one of them.

Unused Graphics

Junior

Get out of here, you
Evidently, Junior was supposed to appear, although these sprites aren't from Donkey Kong Jr. – they're brand new.

Flower

I think this flower will do just fine without Stanley
What's either a fourth stage of the flower's growth, or a different design entirely. Interestingly, this looks a bit like a Fire Flower!

This changes everything!
This design was the basis for the level counter.
