Unused Content in the XL version
In the game's internal files, there are unused voice clips of the announcer saying the names of Mandark (Dexter's Laboratory), Schnitzel (Chowder), and Remote Control (The TV Remote), meaning that the three of them were meant to be playable characters or have their name called in a situation at one point, but were ultimately stayed in the sidelines due to a rushed development cycle.

In addition, there are unused character select icons of a 3D model of Mandark, Schnitzel, Captain Stickybeard, Wilt, and Gwen. Professor Utonium also has an unshown model.
