Iai Giri/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.

Rhythm Tengoku

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

The Cutting Room Floor has a section on Iai Giri.

Iai Giri consists of the following versions in Rhythm Tengoku:

No.	Image	Used in
00		Iai Giri
01		Remix 2 Remix 6 Remix 7 Remix 8
02+		Unused

Miscellaneous

All versions of Iai Giri use the same graphics, but have different properties. Version 00, used in Iai Giri itself, does not have The Wandering Samurai tap his foot. Version 01, which is used in remixes, does have the foot tapping, but disables the musical phrases that would otherwise be played when a yōkai approaches. Every other version, which go unused, contain both^[1].

The sprite for the lower half of the largest yōkai mask after being sliced erroneously has a part of it shifted to the left.

Revisional Differences

On the prologue, after the logo gets cut, an erroneous tile consisting of three pixels appears around the lower half of the "あ" character. This tile was blanked in the REV1 version of the game.
