'''Note''': Saying that "there is unused content" on the disc/cartridge and then describing the content without supporting media '''is not enough'''. Unused content needs to be uploaded directly to the wiki, or else there must be a [[MarioWiki:Citations|properly cited]] reference link to a page or video describing the unused content.

'''Example''': The UK [[Philips CD-i]] magazine featured an article presenting a different plot for ''[[Hotel Mario]]''. As no other known publications reported the information and the magazine shows no proof of its affirmation, it could be reasonably considered to be an error on the magazine's end. However, it cannot be proven wrong either, and so it should be included just to be "safe", although the uncertainty of the situation must also be noted.
