Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams is the sequel to Giana Sisters DS and also served as a rebirth for the series. The game has a new gameplay mechanic called "twist", which allows the player to switch between Cute Giana and Maria Punk Giana.

To do: There is more content here, which includes unused content from expansion packs.

Unused Graphics

dummy_texture_invisible.dds

A placeholder particle effect labeled as "Dummy".

giana_nodeath.dds

Partially used in the score screen after beating a level, right next to the death count. However, the left part with Punk Giana laughing is cut off in-game. A duplicate of the image exists as hud_i6b.dds.

Unused Models

Heart Gem

Model	Texture

A Heart Gem, which is a 3D version of the heart health bar used in boss fights. The health bar was probably meant to be in 3D instead of 2D, or it could be an early version of the Pink Star Gem.
Missing Model

Model	Texture

A cubical model labeled as "MISSING MODEL". Like its name implies, it is meant to be used when a model is missing.

Unused Sounds

Five identical sound files titled 053_collect.wav, 053_collect_bigblue.wav, 053_collect_blue.wav, 053_collect_red.wav, and 053_collect_yellow.wav. These would have been placeholders for the diamond collecting sound, from when the game was still called "Project Giana". It also implies that the diamond variants were meant to have different sound variants too; the red diamond would've had a cute tone and the yellow diamond would've had a dark tone.

171_giana_cute_pain_03.wav

A different version of the sound effect for Cute Giana getting hurt.

179_vo_cute_giggle_02.wav

A different version of Cute Giana giggling. It likely went unused because it sounded too annoying, unlike the others.

Called 202_vo_cute_boss_01.wav, 202_vo_cute_boss_02.wav, 203_vo_punk_boss_01.wav, 203_vo_punk_boss_02.wav, and 203_vo_punk_boss_03.wav, respectively. They were probably meant to be used when Giana defeated a boss.

Giana and Maria giggling, named 218_vo_outro_giana.wav and 218_vo_outro_maria.wav respectively. They were meant to be used after Punk Giana saved Maria from Gurglewocky. It's also Maria's only voice clip.
