Bully: Scholarship Edition
Also known as: Bully: Die Ehrenrunde (DE) Developer: Rockstar Toronto Publisher: Rockstar Games Platform: Wii Released in US: March 4, 2008 Released in EU: March 7, 2008 This game has unused animations.

The Nintendo Wii release of Bully: Scholarship Edition is potentially the best, least buggy version of Bully, but still has weird oddities of its own. This is also one of the last Rockstar Games titles to use the RenderWare engine along with Manhunt 2, which had various platform releases both before and after this game's release.

This page lists trivia related to Scholarship Edition and to this particular version. See Bully: Scholarship Edition (Xbox 360) for that version's trivia.

To do: Some of the content on the Windows article belongs here. Specifically: All the unused Scholarship Edition-related content (and add everything that is missing). Add: More of this version's exclusive fixes. More of this version's exclusive issues: The first camera shot in The Candidate doesn't work as intended. The Racer bike and the cutscene model of the Beach Rumble trophy have broken UV mapping. The wall by the entrance to The Tenements has a big splotch of pink vertex colors. That same submesh also has some broken UVs slightly further away.

Debug Options

Some of these options have been manually bound to the 2nd player Wiimote to be toggleable. They can be changed to be bound to the 1st player Wiimote by changing every instance of the address 286BACA6 to 286BA782.

This option shows the current framerate, position, how long the game has been running for, and how many NPCs and vehicles are loaded on the bottom left side of the screen.

Button Inputs

Shows the last 16 buttons that were pressed for both the 1st and 2nd player Wiimote.
This option has both a textual as well as a graphical mode (which still use the PS2 button textures) that can be toggled between each other using C + LEFT and C + RIGHT.

One Hit Kills

With this, Jimmy can knock out anyone with ease.
This option may cause several missions to softlock, therefore it has been made toggleable here with C + UP and C + DOWN.

Stay Up Past 2AM

This option is meant to make Jimmy invulnerable like in the PS2 version, however it seems to be broken, so its only function is to make sure Jimmy won't pass out when it is 2AM.

Changes from the PlayStation 2

Exclusive to Wii

The Diary

Wii	PlayStation 2

Beatrice's diary background has additional details intended for widescreen, however all of it goes unseen.

Comic Klepto

Wii	PlayStation 2

While barely even noticeable, the inside pages of the comic book are visible, which appears to be a scan of a real comic book.

This needs some investigation. Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page. Specifically: Which comic book is this scanned from?

Chemistry Class

Wii	PlayStation 2

Chemistry class has been changed to accommodate for the Wii's control scheme, but changing the input wasn't the only thing that was modified:

• Multiple animations were added. Whether or not they are new is unknown. Their first and last frames end with Jimmy's early idle animation, though.

English Class

Wii	PlayStation 2

The background has additional details intended for widescreen.

Art Class

Wii	PlayStation 2

All of the enemies and power-ups, as well as the player were redesigned. Different speed variants of an enemy now look identical.

Rock Band Poster

Wii	PlayStation 2

The poster's design was changed.

Portrait Pictures

Wii	PlayStation 2

The portraits found in places like the school's staff room and library are different.

Old Bullworth Vale Salon Pictures

Wii	PlayStation 2

The pictures were replaced with old 3D renders of characters.

Jock Gym Outfits

General

Loading Screen Art

Wii	PlayStation 2

The loading screen splash art featuring Mr. Burton has been slightly censored, removing the fold-out page which features a woman in a bikini.

Development Oversights

Exclusive to Wii

Missions

The Diary

Wii	PlayStation 2

Front	Back

The vertex colors for Beatrice's diary are set to pink.

Christmas Is Here

When getting the Cheerful Reindeer Sweater, the game will also reset the player's clothes to the school uniform, for some reason.

Nutcrackin'

After the mission Nutcrackin' is completed, you are not given the Nutcracker Outfit.

The Tenements

Front	Back

The vertex colors for Lola's address book are set to pink.

Funhouse Fun

Wii	PlayStation 2

At the beginning of the mission's cutscene, Pete is completely frozen, aside from his face.

Here's to you, Miss Philips

Wii	PlayStation 2

Ms. Philips' model is brighter due to having vertex color data. None of the other character models have any vertex colors.

Showdown at the Plant

Wii	PlayStation 2

The pipe Jimmy is holding has been moved a bit.

Textures

Wii	PlayStation 2

Jimmy's default uniform uses an earlier texture that can be seen in pre-release media of the PlayStation 2 version.

General

Photography Class

Wii	PlayStation 2

The music for this class uses a higher variant of the BMX Park's tutorial music, instead of having its own theme like on the PlayStation 2 version.

Interestingly, this track is a copy of MS_Somower, which is only present on the Xbox 360 version and the earlier Wii builds.
It's possible it was originally a track related to the lawnmowing minigame, based on the name. Why it was repurposed here is unknown.

Oddities

Jimmy's Yearbook picture

Jimmy's picture in the Yearbook recycles Earnest's body, for some reason.

Cached Files

The Stream directory has a file named filelist.pak which can hold up to 4 MiB worth of files to cache in memory. Normally, it contains 246 files from the data partition, and one of the files, audio/WII/Hud.SEA (2AEC36F3), happens to be different from its uncached counterpart, where two floating point numbers at 0xE84 were changed.

Cached Value	Uncached Value
0.8908990025520325	1.0
1.0594630241394043	1.0

Seven of those files are also cached twice for some reason.
