Nintendo has created many memorable characters over the years that have lived in the public consciousness for generations. Stanley the Bugman is not one of them.

Unused Graphics

Junior

Evidently, Junior was supposed to appear at some point. These sprites aren't from Donkey Kong Jr. - they're brand new.

Flower

What's either a fourth stage of the flower's growth, or a different design entirely. Not only was this design used as the basis for the level counter (), but it looks a bit like a Fire Flower.
