In the Spanish translation of the game, Chapter 3 "Of Glitz and Glory" is titled "el rey de los luchadores". When translated, this means "the king of fighters", possibly referencing The King Of Fighters series.

An earlier version of Mario can be found in the game's files. This version has a thinner outline, much softer colors, and a black moustache. This unused design looks similar to his appearance in the original Paper Mario.

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.

Two names, help_A_access, and help_door_access can be found in the game's files. It says "Hah! I'm not telling you my secrets at the show! Wait for the final version!" These were used as an E3 demo and can't be found in the Multi-Game Demo disc for the Gamecube.

If the player looks through Professor Frankly's trash can after fighting the Shadow Sirens, they can find Vivian's Tattle, but not Marilyn's or Beldam's. This foreshadows that Vivian would join the party, rather than fight Mario again with the other sirens, as only Tattles of one-time enemies can be found in the trash.

During the battle with Vivian, she can use Fiery Jinx when her HP is low. However, when Vivian joins Mario's party she has to be Super Ranked to learn that ability.

The fact that Ghost T. resides in Room 004 is a reference to Japanese and Chinese culture in which the number four (四; Rōmaji: shi, Pinyin: sì) is regarded as unlucky, as it sounds similar to the word "death" (死; Rōmaji: shi, Pinyin: sǐ ).

TEC is likely based on HAL 9000 from the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey. Unlike HAL, TEC isn't insane or malevolent. Another Mario series spoof of HAL was HAL 9001 from The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! live-action episode "9001: A Mario Odyssey."

Grodus' dialogue has an error within the game's script. If the player chooses "Don't attack", he will say "WORM! You dare defy me?!?", even though the player is doing what he said. Likewise, if the player chooses "Attack", Grodus simply tells Mario to stop his blubbering. The responses appear to be the wrong way round.
