Missing floorboard
Unused Graphics
There's an unused stage-floorboard-anim-object object in the Puerto Pollo Theater Stage area. While this is technically seen in the cutscene where a cannon ball lands on the floorboard, it was abandoned as an interact-able background object. In-game, the floor is back to normal after the show.
Other unused objects which may have been associated with this are: /SGNZ487/missing floorboard to /SGNZ491/.
Unused graphic objects: stage-missing-plank-1 to 6.
Unused Dialogue
Audio for the unused object, /SGNZ483/missing floorboard.

Leftover development text found in the test room.
Unused Objects
Objects with nothing but a name.
RoD Snow Monkey
There are two unused objects in the Snow Monkey diorama area which suggest that there were supposed to be more pirates on the ride: pirate-sledders-object (left square) and pirate-skier-object (right square). Their intended locations can be seen in red. It's possible it was meant for an earlier version of the background.
Scripts
CMI
When the 'The Monkeys are listening...' screen appears, type script 2004 run and then script 2005 run in the ScummVM debugger and an unused subtitle will quickly play.
Rottingham's Ship
| This needs some investigation. Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page. Specifically: Why? |
On Rottingham's Ship, script 2005 will crash the game if you try to run it.
Voodoo Lady's Candles
There is a short, unused animation of the candles in the Voodoo Lady's room getting blown to the side by wind.
To see this, have the Voodoo Lady onscreen and type script 2011 run in the ScummVM debugger.
Oddities
- The bananas on The Sea Cucumber are completely separate objects from the background image and can be removed with state hacking.
- Most candles in game, possibly due to sharing the same graphic, have various animations of getting blown by the wind as well as becoming completely extinguished.
- The image for the bed of hay in LeChimp's quarters is named lc-qurtr-yeti-fur.
Regional Differences
The song 'A pirate I was meant to be' is not present in most if not all non-English versions, probably because it was too difficult to translate all the rhymes.
