Ideas[edit]

This article feels a bit disorganized right now. I'm pretty sure I've included most of the unused content I've found, so there's not much room to expand on that section. Anybody have an idea for improving the organization? Maybe subheaders, or splitting it into multiple galleries rather than a single big one?

I just got this idea, but would a table work? Different columns for the filenames, descriptions, and images? Scrooge200 (talk) PMCS Mustard Cafe Sign.png 16:19, April 29, 2021 (EDT)

Shy Guys[edit]

There exist various unused color palettes for origami Shy Guys. However, I'm unsure how to include these on the article. Uploading just the texture wouldn't be helpful for visualizing how it looks, while a screenshot in a model viewing program wouldn't display it properly. I have modded it into the game, in the Musee Champignon art gallery. I know modded screenshots aren't allowed, but since this is the most accurate and least distracting way to display these unused color variations, could it be an exception?

Individual sprites[edit]

Uploading individual frames of animations is tedious, especially when they all end up having the same caption. Additionally, I need to do back sprites, too. I'm wondering if, since these show sequential parts of an animation, would I be allowed to edit them together or format multiple sprites into one image? Something like this:

TOK has a lot of unused animations like this (there are four more palettes of this one alone), and I don't want to choose between clogging the page with individual frames or only highlighting one. Scrooge200 (talk) PMCS Mustard Cafe Sign.png 23:57, September 27, 2021 (EDT)

"Metallic Sprites"[edit]

I think I found some unused content that hasn't been documented yet! So I went on the models resource and ripped a couple models from Origami King and I found multiple unused settings for characters that make theme look metallic, almost like tinfoil. I think this is unused. I also found a presumably unused version of Olly's model titled "Olly_King" where it changes his color pallete to seemingly random colors although my model viewer (3dviewer.net) isn't very good so I'm not sure about that last one.

I've checked Olly's models, and there's no strange textures. There is a Cmn_Metallic texture in \graphics\textures\common\default.bntx.zst. I'm not sure if it's totally used, but my guesses are that it's either leftover data from Color Splash (for the Silver Shy Guy, Gold Shy Guy, and Unfurl Block Mario) or is used for Invincible Mario, which has a similar shiny texture.

Guess I was wrong about the metal texture. Also I was wrong. Olly_King isn't a texture. It's a model I think. I'd give you some screenshots but I don't know how. If you can't find the model in the code then my advice is to download Olly's model of the models resource and upload it onto 3dviewer.net. That's how I found it.
