Test Stages

In Levels.tsc in the GameCube version, there are strings referencing test stages. The files for these levels don't exist in the retail GameCube version, but can be found in the PC version.

Peeling Potatoes 2

In the finished game, there's a minigame in "Little Chef - Big Kitchen" called Peeling Potatoes, which involves the player rapidly spinning the left stick and pressing A to peel and slice potatoes, respectively. The minigame is known internally as "MG_POTA", for "minigame potato". However, there exists one instance of "MG_POTA2" within Levels.tsc in the GameCube version, and instead of being found with Peeling Potatoes, it's located with the minigames for The Deserted Kitchen instead. Although not included in the final version, source files for this minigame can be found in Asobo's leaked prototype of the game, and appears to confirm the theory that a second potatoes minigame was intended for the dinner rush at the end of the game.

Dream 09 & Dream 12

Located in the WORLD folder in the root of all versions are all of the stages in the game. All 10 dream worlds are present (as "DREAM01", "DREAM02", etc.), but the list skips "DREAM09", which has no files present on the disc and almost no references to it in the code, with the counting ending at "DREAM11" to make up for it. The file Menu.tsc also has a reference to a "DREAM12" and an ordering of all dream worlds in the game indicating that Dream 9 and 12 were planned to be in included in "The City Market" and "The Desserted Kitchen" respectively. Both of these stages are accessible and somewhat playable in Asobo's prototype, and are indeed found in their suggested locations. Why they were cut is currently unknown.

Unused Characters

Although Remy is the only character normally playable throughout the main campaign (side missions not withstanding), Ratatouille technically has 26 characters in total, all stored internally within the game's files waiting to be called for their purposes within the various modes. By going into Menu.tsc, editing the assigned character listing for each stage, and activating the debug tools, it's easily possible to play as any of these 26 characters in any level- all with varying degrees of functionality.

• 

  P_REMY: Remy- exactly as he appears in the main game.

• 

  P_REMY_C: The version of Remy used in the chase stages. His movement is all around faster and snappier, and he looks around skittishly while idle.

• 

  P_REMY_R: Seems to play identically to normal Remy. The only noticeable difference is that his tail swipe is bugged, as his tail curls inwards when he attacks rather than swinging outwards.

• 

  P_REMY_S: Semaphore Remy seen at the end of The City of Lights and Little Chef - Big Kitchen. He can't do much besides walk, slide and jump on slippery spills, and take water damage.

• 

  P_REMY_T: Contrary to the character name, this isn't actually Remy, but Serge as seen in the heist in Little Chef - Big Kitchen. He is also limited to walking, slipping, and falling into water.

• 

  P_LINGUI: This may look like the Linguini you play as during the cooking minigames in the kitchen, but it turns out that this is actually an unused, older version from earlier in Asobo's part of development, and can be found in use in their prototype. The main difference between both Linguinis is their walk animations and the fact that Remy is not visible through his toque.

• 

  P_L_CAKE: Linguini's unique arms and hands set used in Cake & Bake. Cannot move at all.

• 

  P_L_POTA: The version of Linguini from Peeling Potatoes. Is also stationary.

• 

  P_L_REMY: This is the true normal version of Linguini that can freely walk around Gusteau's kitchen. Can't really do much, but it's neat to see a full size human in the other stages.

• 

  P_CELI_M: Surprisingly, a fully playable Celine with a full set of animations and Remy's abilities. She appears like this for player two in most multiplayer minigames, but the mere fact that the entire single player campaign works as her is incredible.

• 

  P_Emile: Remy's brother Emile as seen in the Rat Race multiplayer minigame. He's about as playable as Serge, but due to being needed for Rat Race, Emile fully functions in any raft found in the game.

• 

  P_AICELI: The computer AI controlled version of Celine for Rat Race. Due to being built for the CPUs, the player can do nothing with her.

• 

  P_AIEMIL: The computer AI controlled version of Emile. Doesn't function either.

• 

  P_AITWIT: The computer AI controlled version of Twitch. Guess how playable he is.

• 

  P_PLAT01: Linguini as seen in Salad Ballad. Once again, he remains completely stationary.

• 

  P_R_BKD: This one is actually Git, who is normally only ever playable in the rope pulling heist minigames. He can't move, unfortunately.

• 

  P_R_COL: Colette with Gusteau's cookbook, and Remy perched on top of it. Used in the dinner rush in The Desserted Kitchen, and unfortunately can't move like Linguini does.

• 

  P_R_SOUP: Remy wielding a spoon. Although he can carry spoons as weapons normally, this special version of Remy is used in Soupy Assistance near the start of the game. Can't move at all.

• 

  P_R_SWKN: The version of Remy seen in the blender minigame in The Desserted Kitchen. He can move- about as much as Serge and Emile, but due to his model being slightly displaced in front of his true position, it can make it hard to tell where he actually stands.

• 

  P_R_SWMK: Celine as seen in the conveyer belt switches minigame in The City Market. Has as much autonomy as Remy's switches version.

• 

  P_R_WCCT: Twitch, from the two wire connecting minigames in the courtyard and the market. Can't move, unfortunately.

• 

  P_SOUP01: Linguini as found in Soup, Line, and Sinker. Just as usual, he cannot move.

• 

  P_FISH: Funnily enough, this isn't even actually a living character- it's the fish hook controlled by the Wii remote in the Wii exclusive fishing minigames. It can't budge an inch, and in order to even see it, a coordinates modifier is required.

• 

  P_L_CREP: Linguini's arms holding a frying pan from the Wait for the Crepe Wii exclusive minigame. Completely immobile.

• 

  P_L_WASH: Linguini's arms holding a garden hose from the Spick & Span Pumpkins Wii exclusive minigame. Stuck Like a statue.

• 

  P_L_WASH2: Linguini's arms, once again holding a hose, as seen in the Lean, Mean, Dishwashing Machine Wii exclusive minigame. It appears to be identical to the first hose version at face value, so the necessity for two versions is currently unknown.

Unused/Unseen Features

Sewer Grates

To prevent players from sequence breaking the game and accessing late-game worlds early, there are a number of metal sewage grates that block the entrances to each one until certain criteria has been met. However, there are two of these grates that are programmed with full functionality but go completely unseen.

• 

  This first one resides behind the rat colony's village and blocks the way back to Remy's initial arrival point. This is present during Remy's time in The City of Lights, but disappears as soon as Gusteau's fly-over cutscene for the hub plays upon the world's completion.

• 

  This grate blocks the entrance to Little Chef - Big Kitchen. It gets taken down once Django appears in front of the entrance, which normally doesn't happen until The City of Lights has already been cleared and Remy can reach this part of the hub.

Chase Scene Leftovers

During development, all of the chase stages featured four sections with three checkpoints dividing them. Possibly due to being too difficult or too long, they were all shortened down to only three sections with two checkpoints, with the third checkpoints all becoming the chase endings. However, it seems this was a late decision, because all four chase scenes have varying amounts of leftover content from these unused fourth sections, still functional to some degree.

• 

  The chase in The City of Lights, subtitled "How'd You Make That?", features some scrapped steaming pipes and floor grates that Remy must run around.

• 

  "Chop Chop Chase", found in Little Chef - Big Kitchen, is the sole exception to the rule here, as its entire fourth section has been completely scrubbed from the map. If one uses a coordinates modifier to fly beyond the end of the stage however, it's revealed that the old camera data still exists.

• 

  The City Market's chase, "Harried Grocery Havoc", has a pretty beefy fourth section, full of pits to fall in and obstacles to jump over. This is actually the only extended chase section that can be reached without hacks, as there's a very specific part of the fish Remy can maneuver around that skips the trigger to end the chase.

• 

  The final chase at the end of the game, being The Desserted Kitchen's "Was the Food That Bad?", features a final fourth section that sees Remy making one last mad-dash down the center aisle of Gusteau's dining room as part of the game's grand finale.

Mission Briefing Images/Leftover Textures

As it turns out, the images seen in the mission briefing section of the cookbook are stored out-of-bounds within the worlds themselves, likely to be projected onto the menu when the player needs to see them. While not all of them are immediately obvious, here are the currently known ones.

• 

  Behind Colette's cooking station in Little Chef - Big Kitchen is the "story complete" image that shows up once The Desserted Kitchen has been cleared.

• 

  Behind Remy's arrival point in the hub is the hub's map, albeit inverted.

• 

  Beyond the unused fourth section of the chase in The City of Lights is the chase's escape prompt.

• 

  Far up and away behind the distant rooftops of The City of Lights are a variety of images pertaining to the heist, as well as the "story complete" image and a blank texture.

• 

  In the far corner behind the conveyer belt in The City Market are more heist images, the "story complete" image, a black texture, and one with yellow and black stripes.

• 

  Behind the start of Leaky Pipes is this odd split texture.

• 

  Beside the pipe entrance in The Slide of Your Life are these two angled textures. The white one is transparent, but the black one is not.

• 

  Extremely far out of bounds in Home Stink Home is this oddly shaped piece of geometry with some black and white textures on it.

Pipe Slide Loading Zones

After completing each chase level, the player is tasked with reaching the end of a pipe slide. In the starting rooms of each of these, a loading zone can be accessed that returns the player back to the main world, although it's normally closed off until the slide has been cleared for the first time. In Leaky Pipes and The Slide of Your Life however, by exploiting Remy's jump physics, it's possible to reach the loading trigger before beating the stage. However, even if the player decides to head back out to the main world, the game appears to have a built-in failsafe that kicks the player back into the pipe against their will.

In fact, if one uses hacks to force their way back into the hub during this closed off state, it's revealed that even entering the world in question from the hub side will yield the same result: getting sent into the pipe and told to clear it first.

Unused Loading Screens

It turns out that each of the heist minigames that take place in separate locations from the main world (such as inside the kitchen's storage cooler) are not only named, but have fully functioning loading screens as well, which go completely unused in normal gameplay.

• 

  "Sound the Alarm!" is the name given to Twitch's wire connecting minigame in The City of Lights. The interior of the circuit box is a separate stage from the main world, but since the minigame isn't playable in the minigames menu, this loading screen goes unused.

• 

  Serge's blowpipe minigame in the kitchen's storage cooler is called "Take Aim and Blow". Just like before, the minigame is not playable outside of the heist, and so the loading screen was left to be forgotten.

• 

  "Shocking Starter" is Twitch's second wire connecting minigame, this time taking place inside a forklift in The City Market. This minigame is also locked behind the world's heist.

• 

  Now this one is an odd case. "Appetite for Appetizers" is the blender minigame from The Desserted Kitchen, and is the first of four minigames featured in the world's heist. The strange thing is that the other 3 minigames are all properly featured and playable as separate games outside of the heist (likely due to being cooking minigames), so leaving this one out simply due to it not being a cooking minigame comes across as very odd.

Stage Geometry

Like any good 6th gen video game, there's a plethora of unused, hidden, and unseen parts of the game's stages and worlds just outside of the player's normal field of view. With the help of a coordinates modifier, we can easily expose every dirty secret the game world is hiding.

• 

  Using exploits to free roam in "Chop Chop Chase", reveals this strange green arrow object in an inaccessible unseen area near the level's beginning. It turns out that this arrow marks Remy's default spawn coordinates in the stage, being at the world origin, 0, 0, 0.

• 

  Although the path back to the hub is blocked by falling rubble once Remy enters Paris Streets, it turns out there's a good bit of extra detail in this room beyond the rat hole that likely comes from an earlier point of development. Here, we can see that the large metal door is missing.

• 

  Just on the other side of the rat hole are a large wooden crate and low-poly trash can that never show up like this in the actual hub.

• 

  And behind those is a carved out part of the wall, representative of the entrance back into the hub itself. It's possible this version of the room was based on an old version of the hub.

• 

  Surprisingly, this tv in Paris Streets is completely modeled on both sides, even though it doesn't need to be.

• 

  Located out-of-bounds in Kitchen Pipe is this hole in the large wall that makes up part of the city's backdrop. It turns out that this is actually a 1:1 copy of an identical wall found in The City of Lights.

• 

  As it turns out, Kitchen Pipe has a full early morning styled skybox that goes completely unseen in normal gameplay.

• 

  Due to the game's draw distance for objects being so low, this large metallic object against this wall is too far out of bounds for the player to ever get a glimpse at it.

• 

  Tucked away behind the entrance to The Desserted Kitchen is this seemingly random garland for lights.

• 

  Far out-of-bounds in every stage is a large black box like this that is used for the various death cutscenes. There seems to be a mysterious glowing blue circle next to this one in the hub, however.

• 

  Even though it has no reason to be, the area beyond the goal in Oh Smelly Water that represents the starting area back in the hub is fully modeled- however, it's not model accurate, as the room is significantly smaller than it actually appears in the hub, and the pipe exit is designed completely differently.

• 

  A better look at the other half of the room. There doesn't appear to be any exits either.

• 

  Although the floor is only briefly seen during the heist in The City of Lights, the kitchen interior actually has a good bit modeled here, including a wall (albeit untextured).

• 

  This large slope/ramp is just outside the player's view in the rooftops of The City of Lights. This is actually a remnant of an older design for the area, as seen in Asobo's prototype of the game.

• 

  While it is technically possible to see these in normal gameplay, editing player coordinates makes it much easier to see that these glass bottles on the wooden countertop behind Mabel in The City Market are slightly floating off the edge.

• 

  Near the seafood section are these two market objects just chilling behind the wall.

• 

  Far beneath the map is another one of these glowing circles, just like the one in the hub.

• 

  Although Underground Fun is blocked off in The Desserted Kitchen by a black wall, it turns out that the rest of the vent beneath the black barricade is still fully modeled.

• 

  Due to the entrance angle of the window leading out to "Kitchen Pipe", this odd bit of geometry goes completely unseen. It's unclear exactly what it is, but a fence of some sort or a dumpster are possible candidates.

• 

  Above the exit out of Leaky Pipes is a bit of stone pavement that can be stood on that can't usually be seen due to the camera angle. Coming up here also gives us a better look at the odd skybox used here.

• 

  Although it's hard to see, the opened closet door leading out of Underground Fun is always present, even when the pipe hasn't been cleared yet and the door appears shut. It turns out that there are two separate doors, and the closed one simply disappears once the pipe is cleared.

• 

  Even though there is no sensible reason for it, the entire kitchen wall by the closet door is fully modeled and properly lit for the slide too.

• 

  And similarly, the entire metal canopy over The City Market is present in The Slide of Your Life. It actually appears to be larger here than in the main world.

• 

  Although the player can get a brief glimpse when climbing up the pipe slide's exit spool of thread, these boxes above the hole are fully modeled.

• 

  In The Desserted Kitchen's chase, Mustafa has a brief appearance towards the end, where Remy must jump across two platters that he is holding. Before the player reaches this section, however, three lifeless copies of Mustafa can be found awkwardly standing frozen here.

Internal File Name Oddities

MB_CHASE

In all instances of Destiny River within the game's files, it is referred to either as "MB_RIVER" or just "RIVER". There is only one exception to this pattern, however, being the stage's music- which is inexplicably called "MB_CHASE". All of the chase/slide songs in the game have "chase" appended onto them, but Mabel never chases you in this game (she does in the HD version) and the world she is found in, Somewhere in France, doesn't have a chase stage or a slide. Whether or not this naming oddity is a mistake, a leftover, or entirely deliberate is unknown.

MG_FEN

Twitch has two wire connection minigames corresponding to heists. One in The City of Lights with the filename of "MG_ALARM", and the second in The City Market named "MG_FEN". While "alarm" makes sense for the version in the city, since Twitch has to set off the courtyard alarm outside of Gusteau's, "fen" doesn't appear to immediately have any connection with the second minigame, which sees Twitch starting up a forklift in order to steal Mabel's bag. It turns out that "fen" is meant to be shorthand for "Fenwick", which is a type of French forklift and what Asobo called it internally before the game released. This can be found in Asobo's prototype of the game, which has an NPC call the forklift in the stage "the Fenwick", and reveals the intent behind the "MG_FEN" labeling.

Demo Movie/Cutscene/Image Leftovers

Demo Movie Leftovers

As is often the case with games from this era, the demo reel that plays when you wait on the title screen is often recorded a decent bit in advance before the master build of a game is complete. This usually has the side effect of early and unfinished elements creeping into the final game through these cinematics. Ratatouille is no exception, and has a couple of interesting things to note.

In this scene, we see Remy running low on health as he tightropes across the rooftops in The City of Lights. Firstly, it is impossible to have only three health wedges by this point in the game, as the fourth one is awarded upon completing the tutorial. This is likely an indicator of active debugging, or possibly a subtle adjustment in the health system before the game's release.

Secondly, normally when Remy has only two hit points left, the two remaining health wedges will display as a rich yellow. Here, the first wedge is deep orange, and the last one is red. The change was likely made to help players more easily discern how much health they had left.

Once again, by this point in the game, Remy usually has four hit points and not just three. In fact, after completing Leaky Pipes as seen here, he's awarded the fifth one.

In this next scene, there is a bright green soap bottle down on the countertop below where Remy is gliding from. In the actual game, the soap bottle is a simple reddish brown color. This change was likely made due to the fact that Dirty Dish Fright and Kitchen Chaos already use green soap bottles as a noticeable landmarks, so all of the other bottles were changed to not confuse players on what was a dream world and what wasn't.

Early	Final

Cutscene Leftovers

Just like the demo movie, the cutscenes appear to have been "finished" for the final game well in advance, so many more inconsistencies can be found here as well.

The window leading out to Kitchen Pipe appears to have switched hinge sides during development. In this cutscene after beating Soupy Assistance, the window is inexplicably opening from the opposite side. This could be interpreted as a animation miscommunication, but when factoring in the unseen geometry outside the window in the main game that could only reasonably be seen if the window opened from this angle, the idea that it was a deliberate decision seems more likely.

Cutscene	Main Game

In this back corner of the courtyard in The City of Lights, a open vent (not at all unlike the one from Kitchen Pipe) can be seen in the wall in the world's two cutscenes. This is interesting as even though in the final game there's nothing in this corner, Asobo's leaked prototype of the game reveals that this corner was once home to the old entrance to Leaky Pipes, being a large sewer drain. Whether or not the vent seen in the cutscenes is a remnant of this is currently unknown.

Cutscene	Main Game

In the ending cutscene to Little Chef - Big Kitchen, Remy can be seen running into the closet door and slamming it from the right-hand side. If one looks closely, they can see that in reality, Remy has miraculously ripped the entire door off of it's hinges and latches it back on, as the doorknob can be spotted on the door's left-hand side as it should be, even while Remy has the door open. This is a significant animation mistake as a result of changes in gameplay, as the early version of this cutscene from Asobo's prototype reveals the doorknob was once on the door's right-hand side, which would help this scene make more logical sense.

Cutscene	Main Game

In this cutscene from The City Market, the food case Skinner is standing next to has three parallel metal bars running across it. This is another holdover from the early builds of the game, and the final game removed them entirely.

Cutscene	Main Game

The Desserted Kitchen appears quite unfinished in all of its cutscenes, and showcases many inconsistencies with the in-game version and Asobo's prototype. Firstly, all of the stacks of glass bottles at the left are normally seen in Little Chef - Big Kitchen, but not here. Instead, they were switched out for kitchen wares and stacks of shipment crates.

Cutscene	Main Game

The closet door once had a rat hole in it for unknown reasons. It shows up in the prototype as well.

Cutscene	Main Game

In the main game, there isn't a broom leaning against the cake table. It was probably taken out to make reaching Emile and starting the heist slightly more difficult. Also, the rat hole in the wall by the dining room doors doesn't actually lead into the dining room itself, as is suggested in this cutscene. Rather, it goes inside the wall and leads into Gusteau's old office. The inconsistency here is likely a result of needing the whole dining room modeled for when Remy and Skinner charge into it, so the animators and modelers simply removed the wall passage to avoid conflict with the scene.

Cutscene	Main Game

Here, the rat hole can be seen from the dining room side of the wall.

Image Leftovers

Like clockwork, a few of the game's pre-captured images hide development secrets too.

This opening splash for the dream worlds can only be seen upon your first visit to one, meaning that in order to get this image to show up, Dirty Dish Fright has to be the first dream world you visit. In this image, we can see an old spawn point for Remy, being atop the green sponge behind where he normally starts. It turns out that this spawn point is also used in the prototype, meaning that changing where Remy starts was likely a last minute change, seeing how long it was in use. Also, the barbecue forks jammed into the cutting board are solid knives in the preview image, something also reflected in the prototype.

Preview Image	Main Game

In Pasta Persuasion, we can see in the dream preview that the first star was moved from on top of the lasagna to the tightrope spaghetti ahead. It's possible more stars were moved around during that part of development as well.

Preview Image	Main Game

The mission briefing in Kitchen Pipe is different depending on whether or not you've actually entered the pipe yet. if you're still outside, then instead of showing the pipe itself, it'll show a very early version of the vent leading into it.

Unused Text

Within tt01.gc in the game's files is all of the game's text and dialogue written out. Thing is, it's long. Like really, really long. Amidst the insane amount of text that is used throughout the game, there is, of course, a healthy dose of text that isn't.

Strangely, text for full, preparable recipes- it seems unlocking food recipes was once planned for the game's extras.	Recipe #1: "This Niçoise dish is much more than a vegetable soup. It can be prepared fairly quickly by cooking everything together at the same time, but that needs to be done in the correct sequence to not miss the art and the flavour of the dish. It's also true that the recipe can legitimately vary according to tastes, but the variations should be based on experience." "The volume is also very variable. 'Too much' doesn't apply to Ratatouille. Cook it the first time, and eat it hot as the main course; then have it again later as a cold hors-d'oeuvre. In the summer time, it's great as a cold main-course dish. It keeps for several days in the refridgerator. Ratatouille is good served with couscous grain or rice." "Cooking Pot - we use a large pressure cooker, without the pressure." "Volumes: 1.6 kg tomato, 700 g eggplant (2), 500 g zucchini (3), 700 g bell pepper (2-3), 1 kg onion, 6 cloves of garlic, Herbes de Provence (basilic, thyme, parsley), olive oil, salt, pepper, 140 g tomato paste." "1. Peel and drain the tomatoes (don't mind the seeds): cut out the stem cores; drop the whole tomatoes into boiling water for 2 minutes. Remove into a collander. The skin should split for easy removal; otherwise, make an X cut in the top, then peel off the skin." "2. Chop the onion and garlic. Clean the bell pepper, cut into small strips. 3. In a large cooking pot with thick bottom, put in olive oil, onions and chopped garlic. Add in the bell pepper. Cover to keep in the moisture. Cook for 20 minutes, stiring frequently and add olive oil as necessary to prevent singing." "4. Add the peeled tomatoes and herbs de Provence. If you don't have good garden tomatoes with flavor, add a small can of tomato paste. Stirr well and cook for another 15 minutes. [35'] 5. Cut the eggplant into slices. Cut the un-peeled zucchini into slices. 6. Add the eggplant and zucchini to the pot. Cook for about 30 minutes. [65']" Recipe #2: "Here is a simple but delicious crepe recipe which can be made in minutes. It's made from ingredients that everyone has on hand. Original recipe yield: 8 crepes" "Volumes: 1 cup all-purpose, flour, 2 eggs, 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 cup water, 1/4 teaspoon, salt, 2 tablespoons butter, melted." "1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and the eggs. Gradually add in the milk and water, stirring to combine. Add the salt and butter; beat until smooth. 2. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each crepe. Tilt the pan with a circular motion so that the batter coats the surface evenly." "3. Cook the crepe for about 2 minutes, until the bottom is light brown. Loosen with a spatula, turn (or flip in the air) and cook the other side. Serve hot."

Version Differences

• In terms of graphics, the Xbox, Wii and PC versions are the best with the highest quality textures and lighting; PlayStation 2 is the middle ground with good textures but slightly worse lighting, though it really doesn't look much different in most cases; and GameCube is the worst with the most compressed textures and weakest lighting at some points.
• The GameCube version is locked at 30fps while all the other console versions are locked at 60fps ...and then the PC version is locked at 500fps possibly due to the devs not expecting most at the time of release to have good enough specs to reach that high and thus not bothering to set it lower (foresight is for the weak).
• Due to the game being mostly programmed with 60fps in mind, running the PC version above it causes slight physics differences.
• All console versions have a draw distance system where far away objects and textures gradually fade in and out as you get near or farther from them; the PC version removed it resulting in objects instantly appearing and disappearing instead.
• Most console versions have a 16:9 aspect ratio option in the main menu; the Wii and PC versions removed it and instead the aspect ratio on the former is based on the overall system settings and on the latter is based on the resolution selected on the seperate GameSetup executable, however the text for the option is still in their code thus making them unused.
• The Disney Interactive Studios logo in the PS2 and Xbox versions has a dark blue color, a watery effect and it shows the full name; the Wii, GC and PC versions have the logo with a mostly white color and it's just written "Disney".
• The music tracks in the Xbox version are stored in WAV files while all other versions use their own proprietary formats.
• The audio for the FMV cutscenes in all languages in the console versions are encoded at 44100 Hz stereo; the english FMVs specifically in the PC version, for some reason, are at 22000 Hz mono while all other languages are the same as on consoles.
• The audio for the demo FMV in the Wii version is encoded at 44100 Hz while all other versions have it at an astonishing low 11000 Hz.
• The FMV cutscenes in the Wii and GC versions have a slightly higher resolution of 640x320 compared to all the others' 512x256.
• The PS2 version has a stock image of Remy that's the first thing that appears every time the game boots up, the PC version also has the image stored at its root but it goes unused.
• The Wii and GC versions have an unused copy of the Asobo Studio logo video named "00LOGO" whose only difference is its audio is encoded at 44100 Hz while the used one is at 48000 Hz.
• As mentioned above, the Xbox version has leftover videos from a demo and the GC version has an unused japanese variant of its boot up warning screen.
• The GC version has an empty text file named "rat.ini".
• The Wii version has an unused copy of the GC version's normal boot up warning screen.
• The Wii version has an unused copy of the demo FMV named "introsanslogo_wii".
• The Wii version has additional minigames whose controls make heavy usage of the Wii remote. The files for them are also all present in the GC version but are unused and their size are smaller, whether that's just due to compression or there's stuff missing in them is unknown.
