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 (TFS, 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.
Shorts[]
Paper Towel[]
Paper Towel's original file (towel.fla) contains the concept art of Blocky's hazmat suit as well as the storyboard for the short. It also included an image which looks like the inside concept of the bathroom in the short.

Inanimate Insanity II assets in IDFB style[]
In some of Battle for BFDI's .fla files that contain or showcase recommended characters, there is a folder called "iiii". Inside the folder, there are various recommended character assets, all of them starting with the word "IDFB" on their symbol names and all made in 2016. All of those assets (excluding Bow's) were used for recommended characters of BFB. These along with the rest of II's cast at the time were used in a DeviantArt post by crew member, Satomi Hinatsu showcasing what the characters would look like in IDFB's style.[1] However, the post as up to this day, has been lost, as her account has been closed, probably due to her either quitting DeviantArt or the jacknjellify crew. Later then, a user under the name of TheOfficialJJPM7984 re-submitted the post here.
* - not in the "iiii" folder
"Gridding" assets[]
In the BFB files 2-3.fla, 4-11.fla, and 9-11recscene.fla, there is a folder called "Gridding". That folder is used to create variations of characters sorted by folders. Those assets inside that folder were used for recommended characters of BFB.

Games[]
This area lists content in the BFDI-related games that were never used.
BFDIA 5b[]
Unplayable characters[]
Despite BFDIA 5b allowing Book, Match, and Ice Cube to be playable, some characters are fully coded into the game, but are not playable. They are:
These characters are playable through level editing and were possibly coded in advance for future usage.
Non-coded levels[]
Levels 1-53 are all coded and fully playable with ease. However, levels 54+ are all consisting of flashing backgrounds with no characters in sight. Progress in these levels is impossible and cannot be done without a download of 5b.swf and levels.txt.
Woody's Incredible Journey to the Escape from Eternal Terror[]
Availability[]
Woody's Incredible Journey to the Escape from Eternal Terror was uploaded to the bfdi.tv website in July of 2010. Since it was intended for use by Andrew Wang, its link was known by few. On January 1st, 2017, the game's existence was confirmed by a tweet on the jacknjellify Twitter account. It was later rediscovered online to the general public on October 15th, 2017. Michael Huang later said it was still unreleased, even after acknowledging the edited version of the game.[2] This confirms that the public was not intended to see the game, as the link was intended to be seen by few.
Unused enemies[]
In the files of the game, multiple unused enemy names are present, along with nonexistent coordinates that do not appear on the basic map without editing map.txt.
Glue Stick of Frustration 15 12 25 50 100 Pointy Pencil of Doom 20 18 30 80 100 Unlucky Coin of Confusion 10 30 15 100 120 Strange Rectangle of Chaos 30 15 55 150 170 Bob the Wizard 40 30 50 200 500 The Demon 80 50 200 0 0 Robert 90 80 150 1000 1000
Interestingly, these enemies are not present on the final release of The Land of Stuff, which was the base of the hack. The real version of The Land of Stuff can be downloaded here[dead link].
Level up messages[]
It appears that a combat system was in development for WIJTTEFET, but was cut for currently unknown reasons. The following messages remain:
You've leveled up! New strength level: New defense level: New HP level:
Comics and drawings[]
This area lists the unused or unseen articles of info in the drawings, comics, and other pre-BFDI content.
Total Firey Island[]
In Total Firey Island, there are 18 books in total. However, only 9 of the 18 were uploaded in full to Carykh. Books 10-17 and most of 18 were lost until they were rediscovered by Cary and were uploaded to his channel from early to late 2022. The entire season is currently found.
Total Firey Switch[]
Total Firey Switch is the first successor to Total Firey Island. For a long time, the only confirmation of the season was of visible printing on the back of the 18th book of Total Firey Island. The single-book season was later found in a video by Cary, and more recently was shown in the video for the 18th book of TFI. However, the book has yet to be fully shown due to its length.
Total Firey Points[]
Total Firey Points is the second and final successor to Total Firey Island. Books 1 and 5 were briefly shown in the storyboard for Take the Plunge. The rest of the books were unseen until Cary found and displayed them in a video on his channel. It was revealed that there are 12 books. Cary stated that the books would take too long to be scanned to Google Drive, so the status of the books is currently unknown.
Firey[]
Similarly to Total Firey Switch and Total Firey Points having unseen books, the comic series Firey has a missing book, being number 3. The book was later found, as shown on We Discovered Our Forgotten "Firey" Comics.
