Attachment There is an unused item that looks similar to a Life Shroom, but is named 'Dummy'. If used, Mario (or Luigi) will throw it in the air (while inside Bowser) and it will explode, healing 60 HP back to Bowser. It was most likely scrapped because of the fact only the Sea Pipe Statue and Durmite can damage Bowser from inside.

In the attract mode for the arcade version, there is a one second clip of Rain fighting Shao Kahn, despite the fact that Rain does not appear in this version. This could either mean that Rain was meant to be added to the game or that he was placed there to make fans speculate on if he's real or not.

There are six unused audio tracks in Super Paper Mario. The first one is named "Dummy_32k". Dummy plays the tune of World 1-1 from "Super Mario Bros 3." Another is named "b_happy_flower_44k_lp." It's name suggests it was going to be used for when Mario uses the Happy Flower item. The next audio track is called "evt_relax1_44k_lp." This track is a peaceful, relaxing tune. It might been planned for use near the end of the game. The 4th audio track is called "evt_stg3_open1_44k_lp." It was most likely going to be used for a opening of a level in World 3. The next is called "ff_corrrect2_e3_32k." This unused jingle's name suggests there was supposed to be more than one jingle. The final unused audio track is a jingle named "ff_fault1_32k." This was most likely going to be used when failing a Mini-game.

An unused badge named "Trade Off" still exists in the games data. It was very close to being completed, but never saw the light of day. It had its name translated, and works properly. When used in battle, it will say "Rank Up." The player would be rewarded with more star points after the battle, but the enemies would become tougher.

Attachment Whacka has an entry in the enemy name table and a tattle. Based on the tattle, it seems that earlier in development, instead of disappearing after being hit enough times, he would attack.

This concept was eventually implemented for the Nintendo Switch remake of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. Spoiler:If Mario hits Whacka at Keelhaul Key until he flees and revisits the Pit of 100 Trials after defeating Bonetail, Whacka will appear as an optional superboss on the final floor. True to his unused tattle in the N64 game, Mario must hit him in order to begin the fight.
