Space Soccer/Development

Let's table this for now...

The following content comes from pre-release material, was changed in other regions, or is unused in the game.

There's nothing wrong with a bit of images!

It has been requested that images should be added to this page or section.
Please remove this template when images have been added.

I guess we could try to eat the plate...

Rhythm Heaven

We'll need more research.
And maybe a dance party.

The Cutting Room Floor has a section on Space Soccer's unused animations, unused graphics and regional differences.

Space Soccer consists of the following versions in Rhythm Heaven:

Internal Name	Image	Used in
lifting		Space Soccer Remix 10
lifting/ver2		Space Soccer 2
lifting/ver3		Remix 6
lifting/ver4		Remix 9

Unused Content

The Space Kicker has a variety of unused animations:

"Beat" and "Squat" depicting him doing said actions.
"Sample" is a test animation of him kicing the ball with his hands up, then putting them down before doing a toe-kick while squatting, being essentially the reverse of how a "high kick, toe!" routine works. "Sample2" depicts the same thing, but with the kicker missing the toe-kick. Rather than looking up during the presumed high kick, the kicker simply puts his hands down as if kicking normally.
"Beat2" shows the kicker doing the same beat animation as before, with his hands to his sides this time.
"TapR2" and "TapL2" show the kicker kicking the ball, with his hands to his sides. These are almost the same as "TossR2" and "TossL2" (used during high kicks) with the difference being the kicker's face is looking down rather than up.
"MissL2" and "MissR2" are the animations for the kicker missing, but with his hands to his sides.
"Squat2" shows the kicker squatting, with his hands to his sides.
"KickR2" and "KickL2" show the kicker doing a toe-kick while squatting, and then standing up with his hands to his sides.
"Sample3" and "Sample4" depict the same as the first two samples, but the kicker looks up during the high kick rather than putting his hands down. He also keeps his hands to his sides while missing in the latter.

An unused sprite of the horse ride in Space Soccer 2, meant for the epilogue.

Regional Differences

The Space Kicker's voice is different in each language. In Rhythm Tengoku Gold, there is an extra voice clip saying "down", which plays during the second half of the Practice and in Remix 9, accompanying the sound of the ball being dispensed. This voice clip is removed in all other regions, even in Rhythm World which otherwise reuses the Japanese voice clips.
