*One scene featured [[Luigi]] being hit on the head by a washtub falling from the celling, a common gag in Japanese slapstick. Members of Nintendo's North American localization team, [[Treehouse (localization team)|Treehouse]], explained that the joke would not be familiar to American audience, and thus the washtub was changed to a bucket in the final game <ref>[http://kotaku.com/inside-the-treehouse-the-people-who-help-make-nintendo-1301809672 Kotaku: Nintendo's Secret Weapon] (accessed June 13 2013)</ref>.

*There are also screenshots of the four brothers using what appears to be a purple [[Spiny Shell]] as a [[Bros. Item]]. This item would act like a [[Koopa Shell]], but would be hammered instead of kicked.

*[[Baby Mario]]'s initial artwork erroneously depicted him as having red shoes rather than his normal blue ones (this mistake was eventually changed, and the artwork was re-released), although his shoe coloration would appear to have always been consistent throughout all of the actual game's programming.

A debug menu can be accessed using the Action Replay code 94000130-fffa0000 + 1205e768-0000000c + 1205ef50-0000000c + d2000000-00000000. While save data is being loaded, the player must hold '''{{Button|DS|Select}} + {{Button|DS|A}}'''.

[[File:MLPIT Beta-Scoot Bloop.PNG|frame|Sprites of the unused '''Scoot Bloop''' enemy.]]
[[File:M&LPT Unused Scoot Bloop.png|frame|Sprites of the unused Scoot Bloop enemy.]]
An enemy name in the ROM, '''Scoot Bloop''', was totally unused. In all versions of the game excluding the Spanish release and South Korean release, it has been translated. Sprites of this "Scoot Bloop" have recently been ripped from the game<ref>http://www.spriters-resource.com/ds/marioluigipartners/sheet/46742</ref> and its unused data was discovered <ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwiXuxEVfMc</ref>. Apparently, Scoot Bloops attacked by ramming into the player. Due to the data being unfinished, battling them in-game and letting them attack will cause a Scoot Bloop to attack and not return, or freeze the game.

Another unfinished attack is the Scoot Bloop walking in front of one of the bros and freezing in place, ultimately softlocking the game and forcing the player to reset.
