This cactus is UNDER CONSTRUCTION
This article is a work in progress.
...Well, all the articles here are, in a way. But this one moreso, and the article may contain incomplete information and editor's notes.

Bully: Scholarship Edition is a port of the original game, with some new features and minor enhancements. Depending on the version, one may or may not had to suffer jarring audio glitches, unexpected freezes or terrible controls. The lack of proper support for newer computers makes this one of the worst ports of an already-rushed video game. Thanks, Rockstar!

Hmmm...
To do:
There is still a lot of stuff to upload and cover, like:

Subpages

Platform Differences
The newer the ports, the buggier the game gets.

Unused Textures

HUD Icons

Hmmm...
To do:
There's more.

BullySE HUDIcon voicechangr.png

An icon for a voice changer can be found in HUDElems.nft. It is unknown what this was intended for.

BullySE HUDicon sling.png

An icon for the slingshot, matching its early design as seen in pre-release screenshots. Oddly enough, this is located inside the textures for the cutscene model of the slingshot.

Mission-related

BullySE-HUDIcon Earnest Calm.png BullySE-HUDIcon Earnest Piss.png BullySE-HUDIcon Earnest Mad.png

Three icons of Earnest feeling calm, annoyed and angry. According to the filename, it was supposed to be used in The Candidate.

BullySE-HUDIcon Trophy.png

An icon of a trophy. It was going to be used in Beach Rumble, but you never get to see it as the mission automatically finishes when you steal back the trophy from Gord.

BullySE-HUDIcon Caflady Piss.png BullySE-HUDIcon Caflady Mad.png

Two icons of with Edna feeling annoyed and angry. The "calm" one is used in Last Minute Shopping, even though it is stored in the same texture file as the mission for Cook's Date.

BullySE-HUDIcon RatKiller.png

An icon of the rat poison gun, which was intended for Rats in the Library. As this icon wasn't deleted unlike earlier leftovers, this further evidences that the mission was changed very late in development.

Temporary Graphics

A missing texture.

BullySE missing.png

A void texture that can be found in multiple .nft files.

Unused Character Models

Hmmm...
To do:
Is there anything else?

There are some unused character models present, some being unused characters or earlier variants. If not all, but some of them can be hex edited into the game.

Early Jimmy

Originally, the clothing system in Bully worked just like in GTA: Vice City, you only had a couple of outfits to choose from.

This is Jimmy's true default model. He looks like this if no clothes are set onto him. His earlier appearance seems to be remastered for the port, unlike some other leftovers, probably for testing purposes.

(Source: deadpoolXYZ)

The Boxing Outfit model has two missing textures that can only be found in the original PS2 version.

The Mascot Outfit model is used in the final game by Constantinos, it even has a winter variation that you never get to see because it's never used during Chapter 3.

NPCs

Bob

Bob was part of the jocks clique and can be spotted in pre-release screenshots, the exact reasons for his removal are unknown.

He would have been one of the opponents in the unused wrestling classes.

Ian

Ian was cut from the game, so his character model went unused.

He was Dr. Watts' original assistant in Discreet Deliveries, but was eventually replaced with Donald from the nerds.

(Source: DeadpoolXYZ)

Floyd

Floyd would have been the owner of a music store in Bullworth.

It is believed he was going to be used in the cancelled Xbox version of the game, allowing you to replace the game's soundtrack with custom songs.

Nate

Nate was the shopkeeper of the Rocket In My Pocket store.

The store was eventually removed, and so did Nate's role.

Doberman

A Doberman dog that is never seen in the game.

No animations exist for its skeleton so there's no way to properly view its model in action.

(Source: Bully Wikia)

Luis' Wrestling Outfit

Luis originally had a wrestling outfit.

Like Bob, he was going to be one of the opponents in the unused wrestling classes.

(BULLY - 9 THINGS THAT WERE CUT: Bully Wikia)

Preppies "_BW" Models

Pinky, Justin, Bryce, Gord and Tad all have unused models of them wearing different clothes. It is currently unknown what these models were going to be used for.

Gord is the only one that is not programmed in the game.

Pedro & Sheldon in Pajamas

Pedro and Sheldon both have pajama models. According to the first trailer of the game, they were originally going to spawn in the Boys' Dorm.

(Source: Bully Wikia)
(Source: Bully Wikia)

Ted's Winter Model

Similarly to Edgar, Ted's winter model goes unused, since he does not appear in the game during Chapter 3. The model does not have any drastic changes compared to others, and simply has Ted's letterman jacket buttoned up.

Edgar's Winter Outfit

Edgar has a winter model that has the sleeves of his jacket rolled down and him wearing a grey beanie. Since clique leaders are never set to spawn in free roam, and because Edgar isn't seen until Chapter 5, this model goes unused.

(Source: TheNathanNS)

Zoe's Winter Outfit

It was possible that Zoe was going to appear in freeroam during or before Chapter 3, since some of the Townies appear around Bullworth Town as early as Chapter 2. She is never seen until Chapter 5, so this model goes unused. Unlike the other unused character models, this one wasn't even remastered in Anniversary Edition. If this model is modded into cutscenes, Zoe's eyes will be blank white, meaning it is probably an earlier leftover from development.

TO_Gas_SA

Hmmm...
To do:
Needs a model render.

TO_Gas_SA.nif is a cut character that only exists in Scholarship Edition. There is no associated texture and it even has a winter variant.

Missions

Unused Objectives

Extra code left in scripts that goes unused.

The Gym is Burning Unused Bike Chase

Jimmy was originally going to chase Gurney on bikes during The Gym is Burning. The reason for this removal is unknown, but it could've filled in a big plothole about Jimmy knowing where the Townies hideout is located. It can be re-enabled by editing the script.

(Source: deadpoolXYZ)

Mailbox Armageddon Unused Difficulty Levels

This Scholarship Edition-exclusive mission has four hidden difficulty levels that can be activated via modding. Normally, the difficulty is set at 3, where Jimmy is given to smash all 20 mailboxes displayed on the map in under three minutes. The other three levels are actually easier or harder versions of the same objective:

  • On Level 1, Jimmy must destroy 10 out of 15 mailboxes on the map and is given ten minutes to complete it. For some reason, ten minutes is a bit long compared to the other three objectives and most likely served as a tutorial.
  • On Level 2, Jimmy will have to destroy 14 out of 19 mailboxes in two minutes. Nothing is different, except it seems to be an slightly easier version of the final objective.
  • On Level 4, Jimmy must smash up 24 out of 25 mailboxes in three minutes. Unlike the other three levels, dogs spawn in different places rather than in fixed positions. Unlike the hardest difficulty level of Paper Route, almost no other hazards (like Preps throwing eggs and trying to chase Jimmy on bicycles) are present.

All the levels likely suggest that Mailbox Armageddon was going to be an odd job for the Townies, much like the mowing grass and paper route missions.

(Source: deadpoolXYZ)

Scrapped Missions

There are some leftover missions that remain in the code, some can be reactivated via modding.

Rendezvous

There was a mission known as Rendezvous that got cut during development. According to its ID ("3_03") this was supposed to be unlocked after the mission Bait in Chapter 3. It involved Jimmy helping Lola to protect Tad from some Greasers, while they try to get along with each other.

(Source: GovernmentMan123)

Test Missions

Test_4_02

An incomplete, harder version of the mission Stronghold Assault. In this mission, Jimmy is armed only with a regular slingshot, even though he is automatically given a Super Slingshot after clearing The Candidate back in Chapter 1. This makes it possible that the Super Slingshot was meant to be obtained in Chapter 4.

While the remainder of the mission is the same, the ending is incomplete. Jimmy can still break the doors open with the Super Spud Cannon, but he cannot enter the building and will fall through the terrain, causing him to get knocked out.

(Source: TheNathanNS)

Minigames

BMXRumble

A scrapped minigame where Jimmy has to knock out other opponents on the bikes like the mission Bait, with Lefty, Jerry, Vance, Norton, Clint and Peanut acting as opponents. The script can actually be re-enabled, but it will be teleported to a deleted and likely scrapped location which causes Jimmy to fall down and get knocked out. While it isn't possible to "win" the minigame, there is a fade-out camera script when all of the opponents are knocked out.

MB_Arcade

Enabling the minigame will make Jimmy teleport to the English classroom for a short period of time, and the "minigame" will start. Since no graphics for it exist, it uses the ones from Nut Shots. This is likely presumed to be an earlier version of English class, used for some sort of demo or more likely a test.

(Source: DeadpoolXYZ)

Classes

Wrestling classes

In the final game, Gym class has both Wrestling and Dodgeball classes. You only get to play the first two Wrestling classes, against Fatty.

The script for Wrestling class, however, contains all 5 Wrestling classes:


Wrestling 3

Opponent: Bob

Objective:

Reverse three grapples to continue the class.
(Source: DeadpoolXYZ)

Wrestling 4

Opponent: Bob

Objective:

Use all the skills you've learned to defeat your opponent.

Wrestling 5

Opponent: Luis

Objective:

Lets see if you can defeat Luis.

Unused Weapons

Halloween

50px

A devil fork, it is unknown who was supposed to use it.

The wand's texture sheet from the original Bully.
50px

An untextured wand that may have been intended for Pinky. A texture file does exist in the original version of Bully.

Weapon Upgrades

150px150px

During some point in the game, the Spud Gun could've been upgraded to the "Super Spud Gun". The weapon can be hacked in and functions like the normal Spud Gun. No icon exists.

Unused Areas

This part of the article summarizes the areas that go completely unseen in normal gameplay. For the unused parts of the places, look at Unseen Details.

Island_03

Island_03 is an area likely made for testing physics.

Due to missing lighting, it is very dark in color and it can be hard for Jimmy to make his way around. It can be accessed via modding.

(Source: DeadpoolXYZ)

Test Area

A place like Island_03, only with more objects instead of physics.

Like the other test area, it has no lighting and can only be accessed via modding.

(Source: DeadpoolXYZ)

Early Nerds' Hideout

A slightly different version of the Nerds' Hideout, and a minimap for it exists. The only difference is a lack of a staircase towards the front entrance of the Dragon's Wing Comic Book Store. Only some doors remain, and using one of them takes the player outside of the back entrance.

An earlier version of the comic book store (when it was known as the Dragon's Head) was actually seen in a press kit screenshot, and the doorway seems to have been completely decorative rather than functional.

Music Classroom

The Music Classroom from Scholarship Edition is actually a duplicate of the English Classroom. Some of the objects in the classroom have no collision at all. As the camera angle is fixed during Music Class, the piano with a tube on top of it can't be seen.

Art Classroom

Almost everything in the Art Classroom has collision, despite the area being used for one cutscene. Also, a darkened version of the cut third floor graphic can be seen through the door, which has no collision.

Auto Shop

Interestingly, the Auto Shop actually has an exit point which leads to outside of the said location. It further proves that the classrooms were originally going to be accessible when classes weren't happening.

New Coventry Junkyard

The Junkyard is technically a separate interior from New Coventry, and contains some pretty interesting details like wooden buildings not present in the final version of New Coventry. It could be possible that the Junkyard was supposed to be directly connected to the original location aside from being used at the Johnny boss fight.

Industrial Park Tattoo Trailer

The Tattoo trailer has a lot more detail that is obscured due to the fixed camera angle.

Bully-Less Obscured Side-TTrailer.png Bully-More Obscured Side-TTrailer.png

Interestingly, underneath the trailer contains unseen decals that would've made the trailer look more beaten up.

BullySE-Unused Detail Under the Trailer.png

Unused Animations

The game has a lot of animations, and even more of them go unused. Documenting every single one would be impossible, so here is a collection of videos showcasing various ones.

Fighting Animations

This video features several fighting animations, idle animations and other miscellaneous ones of the various fighting styles in the game.

  • Some of Jimmy's fighting moves from Sota Yuyama's videos are in the game, but their animation has been tweaked. Most retain their functionality, others only have the animation as leftover.
  • Some of Johnny Vincent's animations from Sota Yuyama's videos are still in the game, including the notorious Tornado Kick.
(Source: DeadpoolXYZ)

Dodgeball Animations

This video features animations related to the Dodgeball classes/minigame: including idles, taunts and the removed special throws.

(Source: DeadpoolXYZ)

Multiplayer Leftovers

Hmmm...
To do:
Lots more leftovers. Someone managed to find Dragon's Wing maps for the said Multiplayer-exclusive minigame.

There are some multiplayer leftovers from the Xbox 360 and Wii version.

Unused Cutscenes

Full Intro

An unused, non pre-rendered version of the introduction cutscene. Unlike the used one, a few cut parts and some unused lines are in it.

Alternate Welcome to Bullworth Cutscene

Hmmm...
To do:
Get a better quality video.

1-1-02.dat contains what seems to be an alternate version of the Welcome To Bullworth cutscene.

(Source: Ze Voidah)

Fighting Johnny Vincent Unused Cutscene

Johnny was originally going to have a cutscene when the magnet was activated, but was replaced with an in-game animation of that event. Unlike the final version, Johnny doesn't lose his pipe weapon.

(Source: SimonBestia)

Stronghold Assault Fight Scene

Two cutscenes of Earnest leaping from platform to platform. This happens in the game, but as (rather odd-looking) in-game scenes instead.

(Source: DeadpoolXYZ)

The Paddle

While the sounds and animations have been deleted, the camera panning remains. Interestingly, two excerpts of that scene were seen in the Bully "Holiday Special" video. It was actually part of a scrapped mission known in the ingame files as "The Paddle", which involved framing Damon with Dr. Crabblesnitch's paddle.

Unused voice clips for the mission objectives remain and can be found here.

(Source: DeadpoolXYZ)

Making A Mark

In the game's files, there's a file called "CS_COUNTER", which is actually a very early version of the "Making A Mark" cutscene.

The animations are very wonky and unpolished, and there's only a single camera angle throughout the entire cutscene, implying this is a very early leftover.

There's no big differences between this version and the final, though some animations are different. Jimmy's position on the couch in this version is different and he is leaning forwards towards Earnest's direction, but in the final Jimmy is laid back on the couch. Other changes include Jimmy's hand movements when Pete enters and Derby Harrington doesn't move towards Ted Thompson after insulting him.

(Source: TheNathanNS)

Busting In

An alternative cutscene possibly intended for Busting In. It was likely cut because of plot inconsistencies.

(Source: SimonBestia)

Showdown at the Plant Confrontation Scene

There is an unused cutscene of Jimmy confronting Edgar before the second and final phase of the fight.

(Source: SimonBestia)

Unseen Details

Hmmm...
To do:
There's a lot more.

Cutscene Details

Some of the cutscenes tend to include unseen details in normal gameplay, such as better-quality textures and reflective shadows. Although, several oddities are present and are likely taken from earlier in the developmental cycle.

  • In the full unused introduction cutscene, the car Jimmy is driven in goes around different places on the road in Old Bullworth Vale, likely to give off the illusion that they're on a long road journey. Also, some of the pedestrians seem to be levitating. When the car drives off, the drivers are never to be seen again and the car stays afloat until the cutscene ends.
  • During Jimmy's first lecture with Dr. Crabblesnitch in Welcome to Bullworth, Mrs. Danvers brings in a tea set, and places in midair before the it automatically moves onto the desk.
  • When Jimmy meets Gary for the first time in the second cutscene for Welcome to Bullworth, they both head to the left which is the direction to the staircase of the cut second Boys' Dorm floor.
  • As Gary introduces the cliques to Jimmy in This Is Your School, their motion-capture animations are unpolished. Also, the clique members only move when they're shown in the camera and the characters don't get dragged down under the floor unlike other cutscenes. Some of their positions are also different, and Ricky seems to lip-sync something likely due to the motion-capture test.
  • In Save Algie, Algernon can actually be seen looking at the books in the Library before he meets Jimmy. Although, he seems to be too close to the bookshelf.
  • The Hobo's first appearance in A Little Help actually has an unseen idle animation and can be seen below the ground before he appears.
  • In the first cutscene for Slingshot, the television show Pete watches actually has a graphic which is mostly obscured from the camera. This further evidences that the TV programs could be watched.
  • Damon's cutscene model seen in The Candidate has different shoes.

  • In the Halloween cutscene that takes place in Jimmy's bedroom, an office chair and an extra pillow with a glitched texture (which wasn't present in the Wii version) can be seen. At the end, they also go out of Jimmy's dormitory room the wrong way meaning that the cutscene originally took place in a different dormitory room or an earlier version of Jimmy's.
  • When Gary and Jimmy leaves the dormitory in the cutscene for Help Gary, he goes to the left side of the hallway meaning that the cutscene likely took place on the cut second floor.
  • Johnny, Earnest and Derby have lower-quality face models in the cutscenes for Russel In The Hole, though Earnest doesn't suffer that problem at the ending cutscene.
  • There is an unseen animation of Jimmy eavesdropping on Mr. Hattrick and Mr. Galloway outside of the classroom during the cutscene for Hattrick Vs. Galloway. This could mean that classrooms were actually going to be attached to the main academy building rather than being separate rooms. Also, the characters are positioned in a slightly different manner.
  • In the first Race The Vale cutscene, Jimmy and Pete leave the room the wrong way, like Help Gary.
  • When Jimmy meets Pinky at the movie theater in Carnival Date, they are actually both levitating. It also happens in the beginning cutscene of The Gym is Burning.
  • Jimmy enters the Biology Classroom from the wrong side in Weed Killer.
  • At the end of the first cutscene in Boxing Challenge, Jimmy heads slightly back from the wrong side of the pier and floats in midair. It could be possible that the pier was much shorter during development.
  • At the beginning of the Chapter 3 cutscene, Jimmy and Pete throw darts, but they seem to glitch. A similar situation happens when Edna throws the perfume bottle in the ending cutscene of Cook's Crush.
  • The stool in the library Jimmy sits on is in a different color in the opening cutscene for Wrong Part Of Town. That stool with the alternate colorisation was present in the original PlayStation 2 version as well.
  • Jimmy leaves the Chemistry Class the wrong way in Discreet Deliveries, meaning that the cutscene probably took place somewhere else.
  • Ricky, Peanut and Hal can be seen in the prelude cutscene to Fighting Johnny Vincent, even though they don't get fought in the same alleyway in The Rumble.
  • Melvin's face in the Funhouse Fun cutscene has unseen and clunky facial animations.
  • In the cutscene for The Big Game, Jimmy looked like he was holding the mascot's head before it got moved to the crates, and kept changing position.
  • In the intro of Chapter 5, Lola was meant to kiss Jimmy on the cheek instead of Mandy.
  • That mouse that appears in the cutscene for Rats In The Library is fully animated and has more detail compared to the mice in the final game, which are just static low-poly objects.
  • When Mr. Burton gets hurt in the portable toilet at the end of Revenge On Mr. Burton cutscene, his model has two lines on his gym shorts. That oversight isn't present in the original PlayStation 2 version.

Texture Oddities

Some of the in-game textures have details that mostly go unseen.

This texture is actually used in the game, as an item for a Hobo that can be seen in town.

James Indago Refill 20 of 20

Dr. Wilbur Brunum

Refill after 10-15-2005

Strangely, the label is dated October 15, 2005, which was likely the planned release date of the video game and may have been an old leftover.

gamedude

NS00 gamedude d.png

There is an image displayed on the Game Boy knockoff that lurks in the Nerds' Hideout, albeit in a very low resolution. Details like a slightly earlier design of the Bullworth Students and the old walking style is present in a few screenshots.

TestC0 & C1

BULLY TestC0 00.png

BULLY TestC0 01.pngBULLY TestC0 02.pngBULLY TestC0 03.png

While these graphics are used for a cutscene, they seem to be in two separate texture files, even though they're both exactly the same. Also, it may have been related to the scrapped television-watching system which would likely later be retooled for Grand Theft Auto IV.

Unseen Timecycle

Hmmm...
To do:
Make a video of the timecycle of all seasons and weather types.

The game has a full 24 hour timecyc. file, even though Jimmy normally passes out at 2AM and wakes up at only 8AM. It may have been possible that Jimmy was supposed to stay up all night, and do some odd jobs, much like the mainline Grand Theft Auto games.

This unused timecycle can be seen via a certain glitch that only works on the PlayStation 2 version, even though the glitch cannot be done in the fall season. The glitch was fixed in Scholarship Edition.

Hidden Doorways

Most of the interior doors in Bully are just made for other pedestrians to come in and out, while some remain to be purely decorative. However, there are some hidden doorways from decorative doors that might hint some earlier development leftovers. Most of them even have collision!

Bully-BullworthTownCinemaDoorway.png

If one looks very closely at the broken doors around the closed-down cinema in Bullworth Town, a doorway can be seen. From the first trailer, the cinema was actually operational and the Movie Tickets mission took place there rather than at the cinema in Old Bullworth Vale.

BullySE-BullyInAndOutMotelDoorway.png

A doorway also exists for the abandoned In And Out Motel bordering Bullworth Town and New Coventry. It's highly possible that the motel suite was one of the save points Jimmy could get during development or it might have been intended for a cutscene area.

Taking the long way around is such a pain...

If Jimmy enters the basement at the Bullworth Academy grounds, he won't be able to go out the way he came in, nor the door will be functional. Strangely, there is a garage door present which is never seen outside at all, and a set of untextured stairs are hidden behind the decorative door! As the school basement door is exactly as it was in the very first screenshots, it's possible that the garage entrance is a very old leftover.

Boys' Dorm Second Floor Mirror

While the infamous second floor Boys' Dorm was completely cut out of the video game, a few leftovers exist for it. If Jimmy uses a no-clip mod to get himself onto the second floor, there will be an unused minimap and he will find an unused mirror reflection above the left side of the lounge. It was very likely that this was the same bathroom seen in this prerelease screenshot on the left.

Prerelease Screenshot Leftover Reflections
Bully Prerelease BoysDormBathroomMirror.jpg Bully-BoysDormBathroomRemaints.png

Chemical Plant Elevator

Via modding, Jimmy can get inside the elevator inside the power plant, and it is fully functional during the mission Showdown At The Plant! It is possible that Jimmy was supposed to use this elevator at some point during said mission, earlier in development.

Janitor's Room

Jimmy in the Janitor Room.

A strange, empty room that can actually be found on the second floor of Bullworth Academy. If Jimmy manages to get inside, a strange noise of water dripping can be heard meaning that the Janitor's Room was going to be accessible in freeroam before it got moved to the school basement.

Rooftop Stairway

Out of bounds view of the roof entrance.

Like the Janitor's Room, the stairway to the rooftop can be found on the second floor of the academy building. Though, there isn't an exit marker for the rooftop and the door never ever opens in any circumstance.

In Complete Mayhem, Jimmy was originally going to chase Gary around the main school building so it could lead him to the rooftop stairs. In the final version, that part is reduced to a regular cutscene, and Jimmy or Gary are never seen using the rooftop stairs.

Removed school door leftover

Out of bounds view of the leftover.

Behind one of the walls on the 2nd floor of the school, there is a window that would go on top of a door, this matches with an early screenshot, showing the door.

Oddities

Hmmm...
To do:
Pictures!

Bully was a very rushed game, unlike other titles that were developed by Rockstar Games. Thus, there are a lot of leftovers and other unanswered odds and ends.

Interaction Spots

Bullworth Town Ramp

Just at the back of the closed cinema in Bullworth Town lies a broken intractable spot behind the ramp.

It might have been a place to park the bicycle, or another hose to fill up water balloons.

Junkyard

There is an unknown interaction spot where the crane's control area is located.

Perhaps Jimmy was supposed to press it during the boss fight in Fighting Johnny Vincent?

Boys' Dorm 2nd floor entrance

There is an unused entrance point from the left side of the Boys' Dorm which can't normally be accessed.

If Jimmy enters in it, he will fall through the building onto the first floor of the dorm, due to no collision remaining for the 2nd floor.

Locations

The Hole Elevator Entrance

There is a curious broken-down elevator which is located a few moments away from the other side of The Hole. The elevator cannot be used by Jimmy, nor it gets fixed later in the game, and a Rubber Band pick-up can only be found there. An elevator very similar in appearance can be found in the Power Plant and the tunnel leading to it actually looks like an entrance of some sort, meaning that the elevator was likely accessible early in the game's development.

During the boss fight in the mission Russell In The Hole, a group of students come from the entrance where the broken elevator was supposed to be, which further hints that the elevator might have played a role in the game.

Police Station/Pizza Parlor

Cornelius refers to a pizza parlor in New Coventry during the mission Wrong Part of Town. In the final game, no such parlor exists - it was replaced with a police station, likely because there wasn't a spawn point where Jimmy would be after being busted. Strangely, the pizza parlor's ambience music can still be heard emitting from the police station.

David Byun's 3D Portfolio Final
Bully Prerelease Pizzashop01.jpg Bully-PizzaParlorPoliceFINAL.png

The pizza parlor, as seen in David Byun's website, was originally called "Sponge Crust Pizza". Byun was in charge of graphic art for the game.

(Source: Bully Wikia)

Greaser Hideout Restroom

Jimmy in the Hideout's bathroom.

Before Complete Mayhem and Final Showdown, there is a door that is always locked. If you beat the mission, the door will open but all there's only a trashed restroom inside.

After Ted is beaten in Complete Mayhem and the Library is exited, the door to the restroom will open since the restroom door uses the same ID as the one in the Library.

Strange Tenements Room

Jimmy in Norton's empty room.

During the mission The Tenements, there is an out-of-place door on the third floor which is locked.

After beating the mission and doing the Rats in the Tenement Errand, the door will be open.

This door is called "BossFight_NortonsDoor", meaning the Norton boss fight was supposed to take place in this small, empty room rather than in the bigger, expansive room on the top floor with breakable walls.

Yearbook

The Yearbook in most versions of the game appear to be taken from pre-release designs:

  • Any student that wears glasses lacks them.
  • Chad wears an earring, which was present in his original design, and in his boxing uniform.
  • Both Tad and Gord are wearing sweaters instead of vests, which were their designs in development.
  • Bucky wears a nerd sweater instead of a vest.
  • Russell, Trent, Wade and Tom wear sweaters over their shirts, which were present in their earlier designs.
  • Dan's picture is of his pre-release design, where he is doing a pose not done by any of the other students - He is also wearing his early tracksuit instead of a sweater.
  • Derby is misplaced between Dan and Davis. Early in development, Derby's original name was Darby. He also wears an ascot, present in his appearance only during Complete Mayhem.
  • Jimmy is shown in his early form. That's because his shirt has a straight vertical line with no buttons.
  • Pete is shown using his nickname known as "Petey", for some reason.
  • Karen's hair color is notably darker.
  • Zoe wears her casual outfit instead of her school uniform. It was possible that Zoe's school uniform wasn't designed yet. Strangely, this also goes over to the Anniversary Edition.


Lola Icons

These Lola icons share the same name, meaning that during the mission The Tenements in Chapter 3, the game will randomly pick one between the two.

Room Trophy Oddities

The Room Trophies Jimmy can get while progressing through the game have some unusual details that most players tend not to notice.

Derby or Darby?

During development, Derby's original name was Darby. Jimmy calls Derby as "Darby", while some other characters refer to him as Derby. He is even listed in the wrong order in the Yearbook.

Mandy Poster HUD Graphic

BullySE-HUDIcon MandPost.png

The HUD graphic of the poster from the mission Discretion Assured shows a graphic of the poster that is not seen anywhere else in the game, along with some unreadable text. It seems to be more suggestive, as Mandy is doing a pose in her pajamas that is not seen elsewhere. Judging by unused quotes, the unreadable text was most likely intended to be Mandy's phone number.

Vehicle Colors

Few people fail to notice that the scooter and the go-kart come in different colors. The Go-Kart is driveable in different colors, as it spawns at Bullworth Academy (after beating all of the Go-Kart races) with a random color. Strangely, the scooter only spawns in a white color, no matter what. To add to that, pedestrians can be seen riding scooters in different colors that can be stolen, but cannot be stored making the recolored scooters impossible to obtain.

Girls' Dorm Ambience Oddity

Sounds of girls chatting can be heard inside the empty bedroom near the first-floor back exit, even though there is nobody in the room and the door is wide open. It was likely that the door was supposed to be locked, much like some of the Boys' Dorm bedrooms.

Townies' Original Name

According to some of the lines of dialog and the data files in Bully, it seems that the Townies were originally known as the "Dropouts" earlier during development. It was likely changed to the "Townies", possibly changed to avoid controversy with the stereotypical deception of them in the game. It could have been changed when Damon was still a Prep student, rather than a Jock in the final game, as his unused line reference the "Townies Hideout".

Music Changes

The music used for the mission Rats in The Library is "MS_FinalShowdown" meaning this could've been the original theme for the Final Showdown mission. Oddly enough, the real Final Showdown music track is named "MS_FinalShowdown03", making it possible that the song went through atleast three iterations.

The Japanese version removes Scholarship Edition from the bottom of the logo, so it just says Bully.
