Unused Graphics

Text

Loaded with the other title screen graphics is text for a "Walk" mode, very likely a slower version of Run mode. Interestingly, the text for this is much skinnier than that used on the title screen.

Background Graphics

An unused ground tile.

Level Transition

The stars that are actually used.

Some extra stars.

Level One: The City

A rock graphic, plus some other tiles found among the train graphics.

Level Seven: Jungle

The tapestry used in-game.

While tapestry graphics are used in the castle, many of them aren't.

In Level 1, go to the rightmost window of the second building (pictured above) and jump while crouching. The screen will fade out and you will be taken to Level 3.
