Little Orphan Apey, Apey and the Snowbeast, Private Donkey Kong, Sir Donkey Kong, and The Pale Whale are missing Donkey Kong segments. The Jungle Boy Ploy is a completely missing Donkey Kong Jr. segment, while The Ventriloquist Caper and The Great Seal Steal are partially lost.

Slamfest '99
 was an event hosted on April 24, 1999 to promote the release of Super Smash Bros. It took place at the in  and lasted from 11:00 A.M. to 1:00 P.M. Due to the  happening four days prior to the event, Slamfest '99 was mostly advertised in video game-centric internet communities, rather than mainstream media. Audience members mainly consisted of children from the and several video game magazine reporters. Demo booths were set up for attendees to play Super Smash Bros. before and after the wrestling match.

The main event was a seventeen minute wrestling match between four  members (who also choregraphed the performance) wearing costumes of Donkey Kong (whose nickname for Slamfest '99 is unknown due to his profile not being archived), Mario (nicknamed The Italian Stallion), Pikachu (nicknamed The Beast from the Far East), and Yoshi (nicknamed The Dinosaur of Disaster). At some point, the referee became involved in the fight and bit Pikachu's ear, claiming it tasted like chicken. It ended with all four wrestlers crashing into each other and knocking themselves out, leading to the referee announcing everybody as the winner.

Slamfest '99 was broadcasted online by Media On Demand (now Onstream Media) and could be re-watched with. A link to the broadcast contained a .ram (Real Audio Metadata) file, which contained the URL to a server that played the video. The event's webpage was removed before August 2000 and archives from the do not display any files. As of May 2023, the broadcast has never been found.

A search for video footage of Slamfest '99 has been ongoing since 2020. According to a former Media On Demand employee, it would've been up to Nintendo to decide if they wanted to keep an archive of the broadcast. Ed Espinoza, a former Nintendo employee who produced and scripted Slamfest '99, believes a public relations firm might have an archive or an idea on where one may be.

The most recent update in the search for Slamfest '99 was on February 13, 2023, when previously unseen photos of the event were uploaded to.

Waluigi's Foot Fault


Waluigi's Foot Fault (also known as Waluigi's Toenail Clipping Party) was a released sometime in mid-to-late 2000. According to issue 136 of Nintendo Power, the player would clip Waluigi's toenails and catch them with a jar.

Several files could be found on the official Mario Tennis website and would automatically download to the user's computer. A file titled toenails_coming.swf contains an advertisement for the game, but a file titled toenails.swf (which is presumably the game's file) was not archived and cannot be viewed. A playable version of Waluigi's Foot Fault has not been found.

Additionally, two more unarchived files titled paint_the_lines.swf and deface_painting.swf were recovered from the Mario Tennis website in May 2022. It is unknown if these were browser games as well and what their gameplay consisted of.

Gameplay consists of the player controlling Mario with a computer mouse for sixty seconds (unless they click on Bowser, which will instantly end the game). The player would receive points by clicking on coins, red coins, and power stars. Points would be deducted if the player clicked on Bullies, Goombahs [sic], and Boos. The game could be played on the IBM AS/400 series official website, but was removed by December 1997.
