Back to the main Unused or unseen content page.
Throughout the history of Battle for Dream Island, there exists content that was not generally intended to be seen, noticed, or otherwise was lost to the basic audience at one point in time. Content here could include items from the drawings (TFI, TFP), the show (BFDI, BFDIA, IDFB, BFB, TPOT), hidden content out of bounds in .fla files for animations, or other media that is BFDI related.
Please note that for all intents and purposes, none of the information documented is considered to be canon with the rest of the series.
Take the Plunge[]
Michael's lost BFDI 1a files[]
Michael Huang (co-creator of BFDI) released episode files in late 2016. Some of the first episode files went missing due to Michael's hard drive crashing in May of 2010.
Ep1Sc3 draft[]
In the source file folder, there is a currently-existing Ep1Sc1.fla file. The file is the same as the Ep1Sc3.fla one, except that it's unfinished.
Pin makes Flower eliminated[]
In the storyboard, after Blocky pushes Flower off, Flower grabs Pin's hand and swings in most likely an attempt to swing back up to the balance beam. However, Pin lets go of her grip and makes Flower go into the water.
Pin wins Dream Island[]
In a deleted scene seen in the BFDI 1 storyboard, an alternate cut is present.
Teardrop successfully pushes off Rocky without slipping. The camera then cuts to Pin and Leafy. Leafy wins with scissors, and says she will push Pin off. Pin retorts, saying she didn't agree with that. Teardrop then comes up and pushes Leafy off the balance beam. Leafy, falling, asks Pin to rescue her, saying "Pin! Alliance!". Pin says she refuses because of what she said. After a zoom out with the sky flashing, Pin gets angry at Teardrop. Pin then chases Teardrop to the edge of the balance beam, where she falls off. With nobody left, it can be assumed that Pin won Dream Island.
Cut Concepts[]
In Total Firey Points, some things present were cut or removed.
in the scene when Golf Ball present to the squashy grapes her plan, she said that they gonna make a constant propulsion made out of a Bag of Balloons and Masking Page.
in the scene after Blocky needs oars, Woody holds Pencil and Pen while in the final cut it was Pin
Leafy's abnormal eyes[]
In the .fla file during the scene where Leafy mistakenly steps on Blocky's foot (Ep1Sc3.fla), Leafy's eyes aren't seen, so her eyes change in a weird manner outside the border as a joke.
Cary mentioned in a YouTube comment that this is Leafy's "true form".
Team names[]
Originally, just like Total Firey Island, the Squishy Cherries were called Murderer Trout, and the Squashy Grapes were called the Yelling Beavers. This is, of course, a parody of the 2 teams in Total Drama Island, the Screaming Gophers and Killer Bass.
Cut Announcer Line[]
In Ep1Sc9.fla, after Pin pops Bubble by accident, there's a cut announcer line saying "I'm waiting. What's taking them so long?".
Home Drawing[]
When the Announcer says that one of the Squashy Grapes will be going home, a drawing of a home with some green text above it saying "Home Sweet Home" with some more green text to the side saying "Actually the TLC, remember?" appears above the screen, out of view.
Barriers and Pitfalls[]
Unused storyboard scenes[]
In the storyboards, various scenes were crossed out, meaning they were not needed.
- After Announcer told Pin about her Win Token, Pin was originally going to celebrate before asking "What is a Win Token?", Announcer was originally going to say
- to explain why she got the token.
- When the Announcer said Pin did better than the rest of the contestants, pictures of the contestants were going to appear.
- Announcer originally said:
These were cut for unknown reasons.
Smile and Frown[]
In Ep2Sc1.fla, in place of the flashback to episode 1 after Pin asked Announcer what a Win Token is, a face that looks similar to Yellow Face appears with a smile, and then turns to a frown for 2 frames before disappearing.
Windows Vista Logo[]
In the same file, in the scene where a mouse cursor hovers over Pin and when the Announcer is explaining how the Win Token can split your votes in half, there is a vertically flipped Windows Vista logo, despite the desktop UI being based off of an iMac.
Fat Flower[]
In the same file, there is a snippet of a fat Flower flailing inside the Clips folder.
Bridge Crossing[]
Scene 1 layer names[]
Ep5Sc1.fla has interestingly named layers. The names are:

- Poop! In a toilet, duh!
- Towel City
- I'm Noythan Junior!

- Hello Swirl'd World!
- Hello Twirl'd World!

Blocky and Woody Rejoins[]
As shown in BFDI Storyboards, two rejoins, Blocky and Woody, were scrapped:
The beginning of the Announcers line of the Squashy Grapes being able to choose a contestant is able to be heard at the end of Ep7Sc9.fla, and Squishy Cherries choosing Blocky can be heard in Ep7Sc11.fla, with text saying "Ack! Tillf." then "Oh Pou?" then 2 hands with the text "KK!" in between them, then a swirl with an arrow pointing at it saying "Smile" then "I don't think." then "EEEEE" then some angry eyebrows and an angry mouth was drawn on Eraser with "YA!" written.
Cycle of Life[]

Lofty[]
In the Ep11Sc5.fla file, in the Clips folder, there are two unused poses, the first one was Match wiggling, and the second one was Pencil wiggling.
A Leg Up in the Race[]
BFDI 12 was originally uploaded with continuity errors with the contestants because Golfball was in it and she got eliminated in BFDI 11. Shortly after was re-uploaded fixing the errors but still counted the votes from the original.
Vomitaco[]
In the Ep15Sc2.fla file, there are six bitmaps left in the file.
The Reveal[]

Early Dictionary design[]
Dictionary's BFDI 17 design was originally going to be red instead of lime green and eastern blue.
Early version of Tennis Ball throwing frisbee to Firey[]
In 17-7.fla there is an early version of Tennis Ball throwing a frisbee to Firey where Tennis Ball opens his mouth instead of Firey.
Reveal Novum[]
.png){kind=link}
In the 18-9.fla file, there is an unused bitmap which depicts the logo for the sports network Versus (now NBCSN). This was most likely used for the versus background from the episode.
Rescission[]
Horse Bitmap[]
In 19-1.fla, there is an unused bitmap of a horse. This was used as reference for the horse on the recommended character Nicole the Cowgirl.
Unicycle Bitmap[]
.png){kind=link}
In the 19-5.fla file, there is an unused bitmap which depicts a unicycle. This was most likely used to make the unicycle asset from the episode.
Gardening Hero[]
Alternate Space Introduction[]
A storyboard for an alternate version of the contestants in space was uploaded to a Google Drive folder for auditioning audio editors for Jacknjellify during the hiring period in February 2020. The scene where Announcer scoops the contestants into Space plays out differently compared to the final episode.
BFDI 20 was also re-uploaded because the original had 30 seconds of not animated footage. Both have not been found in full.
The Glistening[]
Mouth assets[]
In the file of 21-11.fla, the episode's mouths are in a folder named "Mouths old," with eight new smile mouths appearing in the folder named "Mouths." The mouth "S - 3-4 - 0" was used for a BFDI Leafy's pose. There also exist frown versions of these mouths in the "frown anim" movie clip.
The naming of the mouths and the folders imply that there were gonna be angles for each mouth and custom mouths.
Spongy voting icon[]
A voting icon for Spongy's burnt design in 21-11.fla. It seems that originally Leafy wasn't going to give Spongy her immunity.
Early version of Leafy clapping[]
Throughout many of the scenes for BFDI 21 is a duplicate of the scene of Leafy clapping after the second Cake at Stake intro. These duplicates are early versions of the final scene, with a different clapping animation and Bubble being placed differently.
Early Leafy talking in space animation[]
There is an early version of Leafy talking from 21-1.fla in 21-2.fla, which is almost the same as the final version except the label of the fuel bag still says "RICE".
Don't Pierce My Flesh[]
Rocky survives elimination[]
On February 13th, 2020, Jacknjellify released a Google Drive folder containing materials to audition to work for Jacknjellify as an audio editor.
Initially, Flower was eliminated again and Rocky was safe. Rocky was going to barf on Firey and participate in the challenge. Flower Speaker Box and Firey Speaker Box are also absent and Announcer does not die. Another minor difference is that a helicopter was used instead of a Spaceship to take the contestants to The Volcano.
Hurtful![]
Firey Speaker Box and Flower Speaker Box kill Announcer[]
In the same Google Drive folder with some other deleted scenes for other BFDI episodes, the scene where Announcer returns is different.
Notably, Flower Speaker Box is still alive. It is possible the scene where Flower accidentally kills her wasn't created at the time the storyboard was written.
Insectophobe's Nightmare 2[]
Bitmap Leaf[]
A bitmap of a leaf which can be found in 24-6.fla.
