There is also data to support a ''single-player'' snowball throwing [[minigame]].


*In the map directory, there are eight 3D models based on the eight world themes planned for the game. However, [[World 4 (New Super Mario Bros.)|Worlds 4]] and [[World 6 (New Super Mario Bros.)|6]] do not display forest and mountain themes, respectively, as in the final game. World 4's texture is named "ancient" and shows an island with a volcano. World 6's texture is named "machine" and is a metallic graphic that may be a placeholder. This implies that these world themes were different in early builds.

*There is an unused fauna-like image named "Junglekusa" hidden in the game. It is used by an unused actor (actor number 280, sprite number 255). The actor has a setting that can make the area it covers "swimmable", among other settings.
