For each .dat file, the total size of files extracted from it must be at most a few kilobytes less than the original size of the .dat file. (The missing size is the directory in the .dat file that lists the files inside it.)

All thanks to you good sir! 👍 We finally got more than just background models saved! We got the characters but it seems not all of them are labeled properly? I see a bunch of MESHs with mixed numbers and letter names so they have to be viewed in order to find out what they might be! The ones with names I can tell you they are
Birdon, Efrite, Capsule J and J2, Poppy Bros, but strangely I don't see Kirby or those 2 available helpers shown maybe they're one of the models with mixed up names? the good thing is we finally got some of GBAKirbster's models saved! He used to be a member of the development team for the fan project. While most of the 3d models were done by project leader and lead artist Minon, very few of Kirbster's own models involved with the project only got used. The rest of Kirbster's work was kept privately on his own PC and a old gallery portfolio from abandoned website Rainbow Resort where you can still see his old models there but sadly most of them were never been used in the demo or recovered til now!👍
The only models that would never get left out unused in any of the demos are the Touhou characters in their original human forms not the deformed Kirby versions since those models were made for another separate project that never got leaked or released to the public but thankfully with Ai tools like Google Flow, those can be recreated for preservation including other Kirby characters that did not appear in the demo or only in sketch concept art for this project!
I will send you screenshots if I find anything! 😄
