No, this isn't a sprite ripping page...sort of. The mission here is to catalogue all beta sprites accidentally used in Danganronpa games, merch, and other official material.

WHAT IS A BETA SPRITE?

Well, as the name would suggest, beta sprites are unfinished or earlier versions of the final sprites used in the debut game. Somehow, these unfinished sprites are used numerously in re-releases, merchandise, and promotional material. While the SDR2 cast falls victim to this the most, beta sprites from all the games can be found in different areas.

POINT OF REFERENCE

How do you know a sprite is a beta sprite? If beta sprites can be reused in later games by accident, how do you know that isn't just an updated remaster of a sprite? —This is a very good question, and one I have an answer for. If you want to get into the nitty gritty, please read this starter article.

There's so many beta sprites that this will be split by series, and split then further by a group subject, as beta sprites can often be found in "packs". Don't worry - little character icons will be besides each page to let you know which character exactly is being discussed if you only care about seeing beta sprites of your fave. In situations where every character from a specific game appears, an icon of the games title will be used instead.
