This page is a collection of unused content found within Densetsu no Starfy 4. [1].
Unused 3D models
- Main article: Densetsu no Starfy 4/Unused content/Unused models
In Densetsu no Starfy 4, various seemingly unused 3D models are stored in the game's G3D directory. The G3D directory is typically used to store files such as the animations and models for the backgrounds of stage maps. The 3D models are defined by four files; NSBMD files that define the model and its dimensions, NSBTX files that define an object's colors and texture and NSBCA files that define how a model should be animated. Not all of the 3D models use all four files because some models may not have associated animations or textures.
Many of the unused models are shared with Japanese versions of Super Princess Peach. It may be worth stressing that Super Princess Peach is a game which was previously developed by TOSE. In the US version of Super Princess Peach the G3D directory was removed with all of the models stored inside it. [2]
Unused music
Sequences
In Densetsu no Starfy 4's sound_data.sdat file, there are a total of 68 playable sequences. In the final game, 56 sequences are available in the Legendary Concert - but it is notable that there are an additional three valid tracks that are seemingly unused in the final game. Below are playable videos of the three aforementioned unused tracks.
In addition to the 59 "valid" sequences, there are an additional nine tracks that are copies of Lobber's Cottage when they are forcibly played. These will be described in further detail in the 'dummied-out music' section below.
Dummied-out music
The sequences in Densetsu no Starfy 4 are named in the format '[1]-SEQ-[2]'. The first integer is a number that appears to describe the real track, and the second number describes the order that the track appears in the game code.
Below are the list of sequences as they appear in the game's SDAT file.
000-SEQ_000.SSEQ 001-SEQ_001.SSEQ 002-SEQ_002.SSEQ 003-SEQ_003.SSEQ 003-SEQ_003.SSEQ 004-SEQ_004.SSEQ 005-SEQ_005.SSEQ 006-SEQ_006.SSEQ 007-SEQ_007.SSEQ 008-SEQ_008.SSEQ 009-SEQ_009.SSEQ 010-SEQ_010.SSEQ 011-SEQ_011.SSEQ 012-SEQ_012.SSEQ 013-SEQ_013.SSEQ 014-SEQ_014.SSEQ 015-SEQ_015.SSEQ 016-SEQ_016.SSEQ 017-SEQ_017.SSEQ 018-SEQ_018.SSEQ 001-SEQ_019.SSEQ (*) 019-SEQ_020.SSEQ 020-SEQ_021.SSEQ 021-SEQ_022.SSEQ 022-SEQ_023.SSEQ 023-SEQ_024.SSEQ 024-SEQ_025.SSEQ 025-SEQ_026.SSEQ 026-SEQ-027.SSEQ 027-SEQ_028.SSEQ 028-SEQ_029.SSEQ 029-SEQ_030.SSEQ 030-SEQ_031.SSEQ 031-SEQ_032.SSEQ 032-SEQ_033.SSEQ 033-SEQ_034.SSEQ 034-SEQ_035.SSEQ 035-SEQ_036.SSEQ 036-SEQ_037.SSEQ 037-SEQ_038.SSEQ 038-SEQ_039.SSEQ 039-SEQ_040.SSEQ 040-SEQ_041.SSEQ 041-SEQ_042.SSEQ 042-SEQ_043.SSEQ 043-SEQ_044.SSEQ 044-SEQ_045.SSEQ 045-SEQ_046.SSEQ 001-SEQ_047.SSEQ (*) 046-SEQ_048.SSEQ 047-SEQ_049.SSEQ 048-SEQ_050.SSEQ 001-SEQ_051.SSEQ (*) 001-SEQ_052.SSEQ (*) 001-SEQ_053.SSEQ (*) 001-SEQ_054.SSEQ (*) 001-SEQ_055.SSEQ (*) 001-SEQ_056.SSEQ (*) 049-SEQ_057.SSEQ 001-SEQ_058.SSEQ (*) 050-SEQ_059.SSEQ 051-SEQ_060.SSEQ 052-SEQ_061.SSEQ 053-SEQ_062.SSEQ 054-SEQ_063.SSEQ 055-SEQ_064.SSEQ 056-SEQ_065.SSEQ 057-SEQ_066.SSEQ 058-SEQ_067.SSEQ
As shown above, the first integer does not always match the second integer. There are nine SSEQ files that use '001' as the first integer in their filenames when the second integer suggests that they are separate entries. These have been indicated above with an asterisk.
As the number of sequences extends to 68, this may imply that the developers allocated more files for music if they needed to add them. The contents of these nine files are in fact copies of '001-SEQ_001.SSEQ' (Lobber's Cottage) that were probably kept as placeholder data.
It may be worth stressing that the dummied-out sequences are unusually ordered, given that they are indexed in between the SSEQ files of used music and the three unused tracks.
Notes
In the Legendary Concert, data exists at the end of track names for a sequence titled "No Tune 58" (Japanese: なしきょく５８). However, it appears to be simply a placeholder to mark the end of the Legendary Concert, given that there are a total of 57 songs indexed, including the 'not-unlocked' placeholder, "☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆" which is listed as the first track. The nine additional copies of Lobber's Cottage are not indexed in this list.
