Luigi's Mansion 2: Dark Moon - Unused Luigi & E. Gadd Animations

The unused content within Dark Moon transcends far beyond the music, as these are two animations in the bunker that go unused in the game.
I apologize for the audio glitches; I had to record this using the normal version of Citra instead of Citra Valentin, what I normally use to record gameplay for this game.
In the game files, the names for these animations are "pixelize_into_bunker_fail_dazed", and "poltergust_upgrade". I'm guessing that the former animation in the video would've been used when getting a game over in a mission and pixelating back to the bunker, and in the latter, this animation would have played when getting an upgrade for the poltergust instead of the game just telling you that you got an upgrade in the screen where the money goes to the vault
Credit to Goldy in the Dark Moon modding discord for discovering "pixelize_into_bunker_fail_dazed" first

I really appreciate that you are doing this for Dark Moon. So many people always talk about the first game's beta, and unreleased files, etc, but noone ever talks about the 2nd game's. I am glad this stuff is going public.

It's so fascinating seeing the stuff that didn't make it in. Just seeing all the weird little bits that are still hidden in the files of my favourite game, after so many years

[@kourtiss64]

i can see why they took that out 💀

[@Mysteriouscommebtor]

I bet that was planned for to be a cutscene that played each time you level up the poltergust

0:43 i like this part when luigi do that i didn't know this unused 🤔 interesting

[@Mysteriouscommebtor]

I’m guessing the first one must be you returning to the bunker if you failed

THEY'RE GONNA KISS O.o

[@Dashiell777]

Great video. Do you think you can see if there's unused missions in secret mine? Because I think it's so funny that that
Secret mine only has three missions instead of five

[@OrangeLuigi]

There actually is an unused mission in Secret Mine, however the folder that contains the mission data is entirely empty

[@NJHProductions512]

@@OrangeLuigi interesting. Do you think it could have been the mission that used the "curious" song? since each mansion had a variant of this song, and the only one to be used in the final was the Gloomy Manor's version.

[@OrangeLuigi]

@@NJHProductions512 Possibly, but I’m thinkin it was put in the files by mistake since there’s nothing in the folder

[@flexiblepaper7389]

Let's face it: It was probably a polterpup mission.

[@OrangeLuigi]

@@flexiblepaper7389 yeah probably lol

[@metroidsky]

NICE!

[@Mardz38]

I wonder where you got these from? lol
Still, good to make these things more public.

[@MoonTailsthefox564]

O he.s Twisting him around. But still The Rating would be different.

[@MoonTailsthefox564]

E gadd is Fighting Luigi bro If this was in the final game. The rating of the game would definitely change.

[@GallantArc302]

How did you get the animations to play? Also, are these animations in the HD version?

[@NotChris_02]

Whats egad doing to the poltergust?

[@alotofjobs4276]

Do you know anything about the heart stuck in the gears and the lab goat in the old clockworks tower which was removed from the final game

[@OrangeLuigi]

Yep! I’ve seen that video a couple times.

[@alotofjobs4276]

Is there footage
