Prerelease Info

Unused Graphics

An unused graphic with someone's Mii on it.
This unused graphic can be found in common/mg121.brres.lz under the name mii_face_dummy.tpl.

Another unused graphic with someone else's Mii on it.
This unused graphic can be found in common/mg150/map_obj.brres.lz under the name mii_face.tpl.

In the same file as the second unused Mii face above, there are some unused Mii bodies as well.

A ton of very small unused graphics with numbers on them.
These unused graphics can be found in common/mg170/ex_obj.brres.lz.

A very early title screen that resembles the Japanese version of Wii Play, (Your First Steps to Wii), and is titled "Chanpon: Your first step to Nagasaki". Chanpon actually is a noodle dish which originated in Nagasaki which is in Japan, and it's the codename of the game. The background lacks details and the copyright date is 2010. The graphic can be found in common/title/add/gf/model.brres.lz

Two background graphics that go unused when selecting the number of players for Cone Zone and Jump Park.

Unused Textures

An unused goal texture.
This unused texture can be found in common/mg170/ex_obj.brres.lz under the name ex_goal_1.tpl.

Unused Objects

Jump Park

Jump Park has two unused objects: a balloon and a star ring. The balloon, which contains 8 gems, pops when a Mii collides with it; the popped balloons will respawn whenever a Mii passes through a star ring.

Skip Skimmer

Skip Skimmer has an unused rock model which has a drawing of Mario on it.

Unused Music

There are two music files for the unused "Loony Cycle" mini-game.

MI1_BGM_INTRO.brstm

The intro at the start of a level.

MI1_BGM_RESULT.brstm

The results for a level.

There seems to be no music for when you actually play the minigame though.

(music dumps: u/M3KAI5ER44)

Unused Boss/Enemy

To do: There is some models associated with these textures at files/locale_us/common/mg180/enemy_ninja2.brres.lz Try and document them.

These two look to be body textures.

This one looks like it would be mirrored to make up the eyes.

These textures are stored along with the other files for the ninja stage of Trigger Twist and the file, locale_us/common/mg180. This looks to be an unused final boss that would either replace the ninja's final boss or be its own stage.
A wireframe of this is also in the game with the file name, pr1_en10mdx1xx.

mg111

One of the unused minigames, internally named mg111, is an action game set in an ocean. The object seems to be to swim through as many gold rings as possible within the time limit. The Wii Remote steers the dolphin, and the player can press A to swim slower and B to swim faster. The HUD (which is mostly non-functional) includes an overhead map, and a point meter that uses the Cone Zone "Points" icon. Miis in boats hold even more gold rings over the water, which you can reach by jumping at high speed.

mg120

One of the unused minigames, internally named mg120, is a cycling minigame. You maneuver through an obstacle course floating in the sky over a valley. You hold your Wiimote like bicycle handlebars and "pedal" it, avoiding hazards and collecting balloons. There are a variety of levels. You can choose the first few through the level-select menu, and you can play the others by renaming files in the "common/mg120/map" folder. There's even a functional multiplayer mode! You can crash into opponents, and there are now bombs to avoid. All balloons are gone in this mode.

mg122

One of the unused minigames, internally named mg122, is a rhythm game set in a circus. The Wii Remote is held sideways, and the player can march by tilting the Wii Remote left and right, marching while tilting forward or backward will have the player move accordingly and jump by pressing 2. Additionally, the player can change the camera angle by pressing 1 and reset the game by pressing +.

td002
