Unused Graphics

To do: Look for more unused sprites.

These sprites are loaded in the graphics in the beginning of World 5.

Unseen Graphics

When reaching bosses and mid-bosses, the game will place walls so you can't go back anymore. However, those wall tiles are always placed outside the current room and therefore cannot be seen. We get to see them by editing our x and y position to go back to previous rooms.

Revisional Differences

Virtual Console Release

The 3DS VC release toned down on the screen flashing to comply with current seizure protection standards.

In the first scene of the intro cinematics, the whole sky flashes white and black on the Game Boy version, which was changed so that only the top and the bottom of the screen will flash between bright grey and white.

When the final boss appears in World 5, the screen flashes in white color 5 times and 13 more times upon defeating the boss on the Game Boy version. This was changed so that only the first flash is white-colored and all subsequent flashes are dark grey-colored, respectively, on the 3DS VC version.

Limited Run Games Release

To do: The credits sequence in this version of the game has a new section that needs to be covered.

The monochrome version of Trip World returned as part of Trip World DX, with a difference at the beginning of the game. As Trip World DX was available on PS4, Xbox and PC too, the game could no longer be considered "licensed by Nintendo". On top of that, the year 2023 was added, as TWDX released during that time.

Game Boy	Limited Run

Trip World DX

Trip World DX is a Game Boy Color exclusive, and thus, it has enhancements such as a specific color palette. Examples shown are the title screen and World 1.

Game Boy	DX (Game Boy Color)

Game Boy	DX (Game Boy Color)

On top of that, it has an additional screen that would be seen when one played the game on an original or Super Game Boy (note that the Game Boy Color is not mentioned by name, as this version of the game is not licensed by Nintendo). It remains unused in the Switch, PS4, Xbox One and PC versions, but it's possible with the cartridge copy.
