[[Shigeru Miyamoto]] did not approve of the idea, however.<ref>[http://www.gametrailers.com/side-mission/2012/03/12/super-mario-galaxy-2-could-have-featured-donkey-kong-and-pikmin-cameos-but-miyamoto-said-no/ Super Mario Galaxy 2 could have featured Donkey Kong and Pikmin cameos, but Miyamoto said, "No".]</ref> One of the reasons was that the Pikmin's body shape would make them awkward to jump on. This suggests that they would have been featured as enemies or friendly non-playable characters. | ||
[[Rosalina]] noticably has a much smaller role in the game, appearing only in the game's first and second endings. This is because Shigeru Miyamoto thought the [[Rosalina's Storybook|Storybook]] in the first game covering her backstory distracted gamers from the first game's gameplay, and made the game focus too much on her instead of the Mario Bros.{{ref needed}} The game was originally going to have a new subplot involving Rosalina,{{ref needed}} including exactly how she met [[Lubba]] in the first place (which in the final version is reduced to a brief mention by Lubba in the game's ending). | |||

==Unused Zones== | |||
Zones are spatial areas of a galaxy, and they include planets, objects, and various other data used in that part of the stage. | |||
There are only three unused zones in the game, and two of them are minor variations of used zones. There are also a lot of zones with "E3" in the file name, but these appear to be empty. | |||
===ChaosStartZone=== | |||
[[File:SMG2-ChaosStartZone.png|450px]] | |||
''ChaosStartZone'' is placed in Upside-Dizzy Galaxy, but never visited. The name indicates it was meant to be the start of the stage. The only thing it contains is a spherical atmosphere object. | |||
===EarthenPipeRoomEZone=== | |||
[[File:SMG2-EarthenPipeRoomEZone.png|450px]] | |||
''EarthenPipeRoomEZone'' is a version of the flat bonus room with three coin blocks. It has an entry in the zone data for Sky Station Galaxy. | |||
===StaffUnbabaHomePlanetZone=== | |||
[[File:SMG2-SaffUnbabaHomePlanetZone.png|450px]] | |||
''StaffUnbabaHomePlanetZone'' is a copy of Melty Monster's final zone, but with only the planets and paths. It was meant to appear in the credits. | |||

There are two unused world map songs and an unused galaxy song within the soundtrack. | |||

Track 9, "Galaxy Song 25", is never played in the game at all in the final release. The game's coding also showed an unused track called "SMG2_galaxy08_strm". This track was scrapped before reaching the orchestra stage, since it is performed with synthesized instruments. | Track 9, "Galaxy Song 25", is never played in the game at all in the final release.

Even so, these fast versions seem unfinished, as they all lack intros. | ||
Although they are not found in the final game, [[Ice Mario (Super Mario Galaxy)|Ice Mario]] and [[Flying Mario]] from the previous game can be playable via hacking, and their music is even altered to match the other power-ups. In addition, Flying Mario is complete on the disk, unlike Ice Mario (who only has his theme remaining in the code), suggesting it was cut significantly later and very late in development.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUBR_TnGrvs]</ref> | Although they are not found in the final game, [[Ice Mario (Super Mario Galaxy)|Ice Mario]] and [[Flying Mario]] from the previous game can be playable via hacking, and their music is even altered to match the other power-ups.

When defeated and facing down, Whomp King has an otherwise unused expression that can be seen only by hacking. | |||

==Unused Animations== | |||

[[Mario]] has most, if not all, of his animations from the first game, including the unused ones. Some of Mario's previously-used animations, such as his crouch pose for the [[Cosmic Clone]] races, are not used in this game. | |||
Oddly, three new unused animations were added for Mario's skeleton. There are animations of him breaking apart, waiting as a collapsed pile, and reforming. Even when Mario dies from electrocution in the first game, he simply falls over like normal. This animation appears to have been cut before being fine tuned, as one bone has a point rigged to the wrong bone, causing it to fly around when the model breaks apart. | |||
===Yoshi's E3 Animations=== | |||

[[Yoshi]] has a couple of unused animations with E3 in the name. Unlike most of the E3 content, these were not removed in later production. | |||
===King Lakitu Animation=== | |||
<gallery> | |||
SMG2-StarPiceReaction.gif | |||
</gallery> | |||
An unused animation file ''StarPiceReaction.bck'' shows King Lakitu being hit so hard that his glasses fly off, causing him to search his face for the spectacles. Oddly, his fingers and face are not animated at all. There is no animation for him putting them back on. | |||
==Unused Textures== | |||
===Super Mario World Block Snake Colors=== | |||
[[File:SMG2snakebrown.png]] | |||
The texture for the [[Snake Block]] reveals that it was originally intended to be brown, like its appearance in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. The game uses shaders to make it appear purple. | |||
===Chance Cube X & O=== | |||
<gallery> | |||
SMG2ItemDiceX.png | |||
SMG2ItemDiceO.png | |||
</gallery> | |||
These textures are bundled with ItemDice, but are never used. Compared to the used textures, they are very dull and lackluster in appearance. | |||
