Storyboard Pieces[]
Unused Symbols[]
Unused Bitmaps[]
Earlier Balloony, Lollipop, and Four Scene[]
RickToons shared an early version of his scene in BFB 17. It looks exactly like how it was in the episode, except Four is making different facial expressions when saying, "One is still not four!"
Scene 1 Animatic[]
An animatic of the first scene of the episode, featuring Gelatin.
Altered Four Line[]
There is an altered version of Four saying 'You can bring him back?' in the 17-6 fla.
Altered 17-8 Audio[]
There is an altered version of the scene 8 audio.
The differences was that we didn't hear Ruby scream in the animation & also Four said "Quit Squabbling" twice.
This audio wasn't used because it had a few mistakes.
Altered 17-11/17-14 Audio[]
There is an altered version of the scene 11 (or chronologically scene 14) audio, Ruby's voice pitch is off and her scream is missing.
Plump Dog Body[]
An image of an extremely obese chihuahua lying down. This may have been used as reference for drawing the recommended character, Plump Dog. This is also present in the files for "Take the Tower" and How Loe Can You Grow?".
17-13/17-16 Animatic[]
There exists an animatic in 17-13siclecandies (or chronologically scene 16)
Creepy Four and X[]
In 17-27 enda.fla, in the last few frames there is an unnerving facial expression Four and X make after X said "Then I'm happy as well." This was done as a joke. The expressions Four and X make is a possible reference to Sr Pelo's Undertale parody "Underpants", in the Chara scene in the genocide route, where the face originated from.
I Have POWER![]
Bomby saying "I have POWER!".
Hi it's me, Saw[]

A Taste of Space[]
Storyboard Pieces[]
Spaceship Landing Scene[]
In Cary's reaction to BFB 20, Cary says that there was going to be a last-minute scene of the ship landing on the sun, but because it was "so last minute", as Cary said, no animators did it. This is because Cary didn't indicate it in the storyboard, which led to the animator of the scene not knowing that the spaceship should land on the sun as a last-minute scene. [1]
“ | Oh yeah, we were planning on adding a last minute scene right there with the ship actually landing on the sun. But, because it was so last minute, no one did it. Um... Basically, I think. If I want something to be in the episode, I'd better include it in the storyboard, so that it doesn't feel like a last minute bodge. | ” |

Scene fading to black[]
In 20-7 ivan.fla, right after Ruby was sent to the BRB, the screen fades to black. This is not shown in the actual episode.
Ruby's extended role[]
According to Sam Thornbury on the Battle for Dream Island Wiki Discord, Ruby was intended to have a larger role in the episode, but was cut due to her elimination. She was intended to make sun angels rather than Gelatin. This may also explain why Ruby was present on the sun after her elimination.
Earlier Unedited Scene[]
dhunHERO shared an early/unedited version of his scene in BFB 20. It shows the stuff that was originally done by an animator, but was later changed/redone in the final product.
Source files[]
A majority of the BFB 20 source files are missing, even after the BFB 17+ flas were released.
Let's Raid The Warehouse[]
Storyboard Pieces[]
gelatin_and_bfb_torture.wav[]
A loud audio snippet taken from the beginning of the YouTube video Wikipedia - **** and ball torture. It is unknown why this audio is present.
no_copyright_law_in_the_universe_is_going_to_stop_me!.mp3[]
Another audio snippet, taken from the 2010 video game Sonic Colors. It is also unknown why this audio exists.
Happy Pride Month image props[]
In 21-16FlorenceFINAL.fla, there are un-edited/unfinished props for symbols 1-12 that were used for the Happy Pride Month image posted by jacknjellify.
Purple Face Subplot[]
According to Cary Huang in CARY REACTS TO BFB 21, there was going to be a subplot with Purple Face in Yellow Face's Warehouse. This was dropped due to time constraints and was later pushed back to Fashion For Your Face!
Dramatic break-off scene[]
Originally in BFB 21, when the Have Nots and Have Cots go their different ways for the challenge in the warehouse, it was going to be more dramatic with the Have Nots being on a theater stage, and have them do crazy dances, which would explain why Gelatin calls them weird. This was scrapped because it was unnecessary and “they didn’t have time for that” [2]
Who Stole Donut's Diary?[]
Team Ice Cube![]
The team with all of the members of Team Ice Cube in 22-14 The Bird Gang.fla.
Reference image for the inside of the courthouse[]
A picture that was most likely used for reference was found behind the courtroom background in the 22-10 Allen.fla.
BFB 29 as BFB 22[]
BFB 22 was originally going to BFB 29's plot, where the budget would go down. Unlike BFB 29, the "quality change" would be from BFDI S1 animation, to Total Firey Island "animation".
However, Sam decided to go with the "Who Done It" episode. The Budget Cuts Episode would later be reused in SOS (Save Our Show).
Fashion For Your Face![]
Lollipop swearing[]
In the storyboard video of "Fashion For Your Face!", the scene where after the Have Cots discover the High Speed Express Train had been destroyed by Firey, Lollipop would have interjected "No s**t Sherlock." It is likely that for this reason the video was unlisted by Jacknjellify approximately 20 minutes after it was uploaded. The video was later listed again 1 hour and 40 minutes later with the train scene being partially trimmed and a blur being added over the profanity.

Chapter Complete[]
Early Draft[]
The episode was originally going to release sometime around March 2021, but was delayed to April 9th, 2021 because of it being described as "a lot worse if we rushed it for a March deadline". This supposedly means that there's an early draft or scrapped version of BFB 30 planned for March 2021 because it was shown in a TikTok video.
