SOME ARE UNUSED!
The full document is available here and yes, I did it, not no one helped me and yes I was crazy to test, yes it was freaking long tedious and yes I had to take a break after I done it, but here it is:

no seriously, to do this, i had to figure out a linux command to tell me every filename in a directory which I then sort and add a colon followed by a newline, then I search and replace the .bin with nothing and then I write the zones at the top of the groups. The hard part is me going through a loading zone all the time to access these maps, I take their ID and TRY with the best I can describe the map so we can identify it. This took hours, it;s freaking long, tedious and just very annoying to do, but apparently, no one tested these because I found stuff that not even tcrf knows (they will soon though, more on that later).
So, everything that has the word UNUSED......is unused. Some maps seems weird like the pit maps and some are just.....bland. Like dos_01, it;s really all the description says. One interesting one is one in the Whoa zone where you had a chest and in that chest, you have piccolo's card. Going inside the door in that map wearps me to another who zone map, but withotu a door telling me the map has no access in, only an access out. Also, the map unused in floro caverns feels like a test room or so, it's a bit weird.
And the description at the top doesn't lie, I can load any maps from anywhere the game loads a map.
As for tcrf? I talked abotu my finding to the French taser and he wanted to do a video with credits of the unused maps and send it to tcrf.
Now, I need to talk about why I find this more than 8 years after the game was released because TTYD had that done a long time ago.
It really feels the underating of this game. Seriously, there wasn;t test done on it simply because not enough cared. In fact, I literally asked in the glitch hunter group, I am the only one active with CE now, I might be the only one active at all. This isn't normal that I had to do all of this to find unused stuff I mean why no one tried is beyond me. This is such a basic data that you could've have done by usign the TTYD way as this game has a lot from TTYD.
Oh and for you stats nerds, 473 maps, around 100 of them are JUST ch6, lol. The chest rooms of the pit made my game crash if I tried to load it from a pipe in flopside, but by doing the pit, they load normally so idk.
And if you are curious how I did both pit this quick, I simply got the key once and froze its address so the game can't remove my key so i have one everytime lol
Next tests? RAM SEARCH YAY!!!!
It;s basically me finding some addresses and figuring them out to have better testing environemnt. Stuff like having a 3d that never decreases (which you gain after opening every chests in the Room 100 of the flopside pit) or (and I really want this one), a 3d lock. i really want to prevent the game from going to 2d because tbh, I NEED to figure out the flipping system.
anyway, hope you liked that update
