==Early ideas==
[[Paper Luigi]] was also once planned to be playable but was scrapped due to the team believing having four buttons to press would make the game too difficult.<ref>Akira Otani (February 5, 2016).

[[Peepa]]s were originally going to appear in the game, but they were scrapped for unknown reasons. However, their unfinished graphics still remain grouped with the [[Boo]] graphics.<ref>[https://www.spriters-resource.com/resources/sheets/71/74166.png The Spriter's Resource]</ref>

There are some unused overworld graphics of [[Urchin]]s and [[Chain Chomp]]s, but they only appear in battles.

There is an unused [[Green Shell#Mario & Luigi: Dream Team|3D Green Shell]] Bros. Attack for Luigi, but this Bros. Attack was removed for unknown reasons. However, the 3D Green Shell graphics still remain grouped with the 3D Red Shell graphics.

There is an unused early version of a Paper Red Toad graphics alongside his early version of the Red Balloon graphics for the [[Toad Trail]] Bros. Attack. The unused graphics of a Paper Red Toad and his Red Balloons still remain grouped with the Toad Trail graphics.

==Early builds==
===Nintendo Direct===

In the Nintendo Direct, the Kamek boss fight took place in Sunbeam Plains instead of Neo Bowser Castle. Screenshots also showed [[Koopa Troopa]]s and [[Paper Koopa Troopa]]s being fought in Sunbeam Plains. In the final version, they aren't encountered until Twinsy Tropics. In both the 52nd and 53rd episodes of [[The Cat Mario Show]], [[Hammer Bro]]s, [[Paper Hammer Bro]]s, [[Fire Bro]]s and [[Paper Fire Bro]]s can be seen being fought in Twinsy Tropics instead of Twinsy Tropics Dungeon.

===E3 2015===
At E3, [[Battle Card (Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam)|Battle Card]]s could seemingly be used as early as the Petey Piranha boss fight, where in the final game they are first used against Wendy and Roy. Also, the number over the cards (which shows the number of Star Points needed to use it) is written in a different color than in the final game (orange as opposed to yellow) and is about twice as small. Also in the demo, Paper Mario is able to create copies and perform another action in a single turn: this is normally only possible with a Star [[Rank]]-Up Bonus.

In addition to the Petey Piranha boss fight, the playable missions were [[Desert Rescue Party]], [[Fly Guy Patrol]], and [[Paper Toad Rescue]].
