Moai Doo-Wop/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 Moai Doo-Wop's unused animations, unused audio, unused graphics and regional differences.

Moai Doo-Wop consists of the following versions in Rhythm Heaven:

Internal Name	Image	Used in
monomane		Moai Doo-Wop Moai Doo-Wop 2 Remix 10
monomane/ver2		Remix 2 Remix 9

Early Builds

Originally the game was about a king that would be sitting on the ground with his head in his hands, and a messenger standing behind him would hold the king's mouth and make him speak in turn. One day, this concept was suddenly replaced with the Moai^[1].

Accoring to a sell sheet for Rhythm Tengoku Gold^[2], this game was originally known as モアイ (Moai^?).

Unused Content

An unused set of Moai voice clips include "su-an" for the held voice and "san" for the shout. Additionally, unused voice clips of "kon'nichi", "sayōna", and "gokurō" also exist, which seem to be intended to connect to the shouts of the Moai Kids, creating 今こん日にちは (Kon'nichiWA^?, Hello), 左さ様ようなら (SayōnaRA^?, Goodbye) and ご苦く労ろうさん (GokurōSAN^?, I appreciate your efforts).

Miscellaneous

Normally, each version with an ascociated prologue and epilogue would have the assets for them in subfolders within the versions they belong to. Moai Doo-Wop 2's prologue and epilogue are stored in monomane/ver2 however, which has the graphics for Remix 2 and Remix 9. It is possible they are simply attributed this way to save space, to avoid creating a duplicate of the normal graphics for Moai Doo-Wop 2.

Regional Differences

The prologue in Rhythm Tengoku Gold looks noticeably less polished compared to the international versions.
