Dummied Out is now trivia. Moving examples accordingly.

Added DiffLines:

* DummiedOut:

** There are slots on the character select for the first three bosses, but there is no known way to unlock them. There is also incomplete data for Mullah Abba as a playable character, as well as a bizarre static image called "Squid Squad".
