Munchy Monk/Unused

Rhythm Heaven
Munchy Monk consists of the following versions in Rhythm Heaven:

Early Ideas
During development, this game was known as Oyatsu (おやつ), as the player was eating candy snacks, which was replaced with manju in the final game (referred to as "dumplings" in the English version).

Unused Content
Most sprites of the Munchy Monk have an extra sprite to render the mustache, which remain offscreen. Presumably this second sprite is needed for the turn at the end of Munchy Monk 2, and is required to exist in all other animations, even if it goes unseen.

The Munchy Monk's sprite is a little larger than what is visible onscreen, with the monk's eyebrow and ear not being visible. In Remix 4, this also includes orange hair.

Rhythm Heaven Megamix
Munchy Monk consists of the following versions in Rhythm Heaven Megamix:

Unused Content
There are unused animations, using early designs for the mustauche that the Munchy Monk grows during the game, which match the slimmer design it has in Rhythm Heaven.

There is an animation referenced for this game, "face_turn", which does not appear in the game's .bccad file. It is possible to call this animation in-game, but as it doesn't exist normally, the game defaults to playing "face_beat" instead. This animation is a leftover from the end of Munchy Monk 2 in Rhythm Heaven, where the Munchy Monk turns to face the player. There is no second mustache sprite, as it was presumably repurposed for the eyebrows.

Young Cricket, who appears during the Wario...Where? version of the game replacing the monkey in a cloud from Final Remix, has additional functionality to move the cloud vertically. In both instances, it only ever moves horizontally.
