Super Paper Mario/Unused Music & Sound Effects

This is a sub-page of Super Paper Mario.

Unused Music

To do:

Are all the lower/higher-filesize versions used?
Add the names from the DAT and BRSAR (they are different, in terms of the prefix at least)
evt_stg7_rpg1_e2_44k_lp and b_mini_gameover1_32k_lp are supposedly unused

A stream of the World 1-1 theme from Super Mario Bros. 3. This was probably used for testing purposes, and is appropriately named dummy_32k.

To do:
What small differences? Also, upload the alt version as ogg

A short tune that lasts 15 seconds. Judging by the file name b_happy_flower_44k_lp, it was likely intended to play while the Happy Flower item was in effect. In the final game, the regular stage music continues to play. Interestingly, a copy of the track is present as evt_happy_flower_44k, with a bit of the silence at the end trimmed off and some other small differences.

A peaceful, looping track under the name evt_relax1_44k_lp. It would have been used in some kind of cutscene or special event.

A tune that remixes part of the Super Mario Bros. theme. Given the name evt_stg3_open1_44k_lp, it was meant to be some kind of opening theme for one of the levels in the Bitlands. The cutscene at the beginning of 3-1 uses the standard tense event track, and the cutscene at the beginning of 3-4 uses the standard silly event track.

An early "puzzle solved" jingle.. Its called ff_corrrect2_e3_32k [sic]. The file name also suggests that there was an even older version of the jingle. Its name in the BRSAR is BGM_FF_CORRECT2. Its referenced in a function (at 800d24b8 in Europe Rev 0) that returns playback lengths for certain jingle sound effects - in this case the playback length returned is 1500ms. This is the only reference to it in the code.

Another jingle by the name of ff_fault1_32k (BGM_FF_FAULT1 in the BRSAR). It was likely used for failing a mini-game. Again, it's referenced in the above-mentioned function, with the same length, and again that's the only reference to the sound in the code.

A slightly modified version of the Arcade theme exists in the game files as map_yuugizyou1_e4_32k_lp, with a different melody. Interestingly, it is not referenced anywhere in other files, and the only trace of its presence on the disc is the file itself.

Unused sound effects

There are 10 jingles in the game's files meant to be played when shaking the Wii remote after stomping an enemy, but the last five are unused. Instead, the fifth jingle repeats for any successive stomps.
