Existing in the files of Dirk Valentine is an unused avatar for Dirk, which would have been used for messages (judging from the image's shape, border colouring, and size). Although not really a beta element, Dirk's chain cannon arm is actually a separate sprite. Because of this, the player never sees Dirk's body without his chain cannon. Despite this, Dirk's sprite without his chain cannon actually is fully drawn, Dirk without his chain cannons wearing a simple white shirt.
Rumours of a sequel to Dirk Valentine due to the appearance of Monty in Final Ninja Zero were confirmed false. There is currently no plan for the development of a Dirk Valentine 2.[1]
Furthermore, Nitrome believes that all of the mechanics for the game were done in Dirk Valentine.[2]

Causing the screen to stretch (such as pressing CTRL and moving a mouse's mouse wheel in) upon entering a level (when the player is not coming from another level) will allow the player to view placeholder dialogue for Monty, this dialogue positioned off screen. This dialogue is placeholder dialogue until the player comes to a dialogue hologram.

↑Hey Nitromians!...| Facebook - Nitrome's comment: We get a lot of mention for a Dirk sequel. But always thought that it would be a little dull to do just more of the same. We felt that the first game rinsed pretty much everything there was to show from the game mechanic.
