Model and Texture Files
I remember tanks sending me the actual model and texture files for that, I was able to open and view it in 3ds max... where I put those files? I mean the beta level, btw --Sukasa
- Why not here? --Xkeeper 21:34, 19 May 2010 (EDT)
- I'm just waiting for PolygonJim to show up for those. I'm really in no mood to download the ISO again just for this and the other models... If you have them, I would sure love to get a better screen shot than the ones we have now.--Tanks
- Typo, "where" should have been "where'd" implying I don't actually know where they are (and I don't) --Sukasa 21:45, 19 May 2010 (EDT)

Jungle beat models
Here's my theory on these models, maybe Mario Galaxy was running on an updated DKJB engine, since there's so much similarities between the 2, like objects, graphics, sound, music, design, etc, etc, etc--MitchZer0 11:43, 9 August 2010 (EDT)
- That may very well be it, as Nintendo has been recycling this engine since Super Mario Sunshine. So far it has been used in 4 Mario titles (Super Mario Sunshine, Mario Kart: Double Dash, Super Mario Galaxy, Super Mario Galaxy 2), two Zelda titles (Wind Waker and Twilight Princess, which has some Wind Waker assets left in it), and Donkey Kong Jungle Beat. Did I miss any? I probably did. --
Techokami (talk) 14:10, 3 November 2010 (EDT)
- "Twilight Princess, which has some Wind Waker assets left in it" - Quoi? I've never heard of that before. Where is it? -- Prince Kassad 15:02, 3 November 2010 (EDT)
- So why did we have to remove the pictures of these models from the article? Even if they are just leftovers from Jungle Beat, it was nice to have visual aids, instead of a bunch of text describing what they look like. --BMF54123 (talk) 23:49, 22 October 2013 (EDT)
- I didn't think they were really necessary. It would be like having pictures of the leftover models from Galaxy 1 in the Galaxy 2 article. If you think it's fine that we have the images, you can put the gallery back, but the new information I added in its place is the most important thing in the section. --Peardian (talk) 00:03, 23 October 2013 (EDT)

Those bugs
I think they might be from Twilight Princesses, seeing that they look kind of Zeldaish. --MitchZer0 03:36, 2 November 2010 (EDT)
- They aren't. I've played through that game (admittedly, the GameCube version, but the Wii version is just the same game flipped horizontally), and never saw them. -YK
04:29, 2 November 2010 (EDT)
- Signs point to them being made for SMG, despite the unique and different art style. --Peardian 09:56, 2 November 2010 (EDT)
Glassy Twins+Phantom Ice
If you watch the SMG2 E3 trialer, you will see planets similar to the Glassy Twins in the very beginning of the trailer. Near the middle of the video, you will see Boo Moon's beta Starting Planet, which is very similar to Space Junk's beta Phantom Ice Planet. In fact, the E3 version of SMG2 is much more similar to SMG1 than the final version of SMG2.--Holyromanemperortatan 16:28, 2 December 2010 (EST)
- The planets Mario is flying past in the very beginning are just generic planets. The big rocky more like Big Relay Planet A than anything. And the Boo Moon planet is similar in that it is brown and a maze and has ghosts, but is made of cobblestone walls instead. And I'd say SMG2 changed just as much from beta to release as SMG1 did. --Peardian 13:33, 3 December 2010 (EST)
Object List
I'm going through the object name table to see if I can find any additional information. Interestingly, some of the unused objects are on the list. Does this mean that they are valid objects to be placed in levels? If so, it would be worth it for someone to look into them.

And that's all. Now, chances are that most of these have their code removed, or refer to models that don't exist anymore. Still, it's worth checking every single one, because you never know. --Peardian 21:00, 4 June 2012 (EDT)
Teresa Chief
So, it turns out TeresaChief is used, but the way you'd expect. In Deep Dark Galaxy, the "Boo in a Box" is TeresaChief. It has a key inside it. However, due to however he's programmed, his model appears at 0.5 scale, despite being set to 1.4 scale. This is why it acts like a normal Boo when placed. Now, this is where the fun part comes in. Someone mentioned that it has a Toad inside when placed, but the one used by the game holds a Power Star. The TeresaChief object can take three parameters, so I bet we'll find something if we mess with those. Here's the info:
- Location: GhostShipCaveZone
- ID: 31
- Obj_arg0: 6
- Obj_arg1: 0
- Obj_arg7: 7
- scale_x/y/z: 1.4
I'll have to restructure the article given this finding, but at least the bit about Toad is worth adding. --Peardian 14:53, 11 July 2012 (EDT)
Deep Dark Galaxy Oddities
Honestly, I'm surprised TCRF doesn't have this covered yet. It is pretty interesting. I once went on Mariowiki.com, and saw that there were some strange things in Deep Dark Galaxy's Purple Coin star not seen by normal means of gameplay.
The page said: "If a player uses hacks to leave the cave in Deep Dark Galaxy's Purple Coin star, they will find that the objects outside the cave are mostly gone or misplaced. These oddities include:
-The entire Toad Brigade is present, even though they are also in the cave with the purple coins. -Toad is on the beach, and he says the Green Toad's normal message (Nope, I don't see any Purple Coin(s) hidden in the dirt.) -The Yellow Toad is also on the beach, standing on top of a blue structure only found on some levels in the Sea Slide Galaxy. He will create an empty text box if spoken to. -The Green Toad is dancing where the Blue Toad stood during star 2. -The Blue Toad is inside the titular box of the "Boo in a Box" star. He floats above the ground and does not have glasses. If Mario gets too close to him, he will create an empty "small" text box. -The Purple Toad is standing next to Toad, and he gives his normal message for that star, which makes no sense when read out of context. -There is a green pipe on the beach next to Toad and the Purple Toad. It is connected to another green pipe next to the Blue Toad. This could be an early route to the "Boo in a Box" star, or it could simply be an aid for testing. -Next to the Green Toad there is a series of climbable poles. One of these is tilted at an odd angle an does not lead anywhere significant. -Also next to the Green Toad is an Amp, not present in any other star."
Last September, I recorded a video of me finding these oddities (Not in the best quality, but it's viewable), since I noticed no one else bothered doing this. Here's the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MvI-WojA97g - Is it worth it to put this stuff on the main page? --SMB Madman 19:56, 26 July 2012 (EDT)
- Yep, I'd say so. I do have to wonder what was being planned there. Considering Deep Dark Galaxy is one of the oldest galaxies, it makes sense that there'd be some odd stuff going on. --Peardian 20:40, 29 July 2012 (EDT)
Now hopefully, someone could just record a better video than I did. --SMB Madman 11:33, 21 January 2013 (EDT)
Unused objects
There's a new Super Mario Galaxy & 2 editor out and with it a list of objects from both games. [1]
There are some things in this list that are appear to be coded versions of the 3d models like in the tcrf article.
Maybe somebody could insert them into a level and see? --Hiccup 12:13, 24 October 2012 (EDT)
- Sounds neat... but the link doesn't work. --Peardian 18:08, 24 October 2012 (EDT)
- Link works now [2], and also I don't think the sm64 bullys are in the article, why not? --Hiccup 09:46, 27 October 2012 (EDT)
- Interesting list. I think I'll help it out with the research I've done. Also, the Bullies are in the characters subpage. --Peardian 14:17, 27 October 2012 (EDT)
- Link works now [2], and also I don't think the sm64 bullys are in the article, why not? --Hiccup 09:46, 27 October 2012 (EDT)
(I would like to add that the ObjectDB linked above isn't quite accurate. Many objects listed there don't actually exist in the game, and some that are in the game aren't listed. I'll fix this asap.) --Mega-Mario 22:04, 29 October 2012 (EDT)
SwitchBox
It can be placed in a level, and it's indeed a switch. It behaves like a standard brick block except it can trigger an event when it's destroyed. --Mega-Mario 22:04, 29 October 2012 (EDT)
More unused stuff?
The bubble generator object (BigBubbleGenerator), with the correct parameters, can generate octahedral bubbles ([3]). This ability isn't used in the final game.
The object named Jiraira seems unused, but I'm not sure. Screenshot of it: [4] It basically behaves like a landmine, and regenerates after a short while. Isn't used anywhere as far as I can remember.
--Mega-Mario 17:48, 4 December 2012 (EST)
- Oh, did I forget to put Jiraira on there? Oops! I'll get right to it. Thanks for reminding me. An nice find with the bubble! I wonder how many other unused shapes it can create... --Peardian 20:08, 4 December 2012 (EST)
- None afaik, any value other than 0 and 1 gives a round bubble. But one'd have to dig into the code to know. --Mega-Mario 15:14, 30 December 2012 (EST)
Prototype?
[5] this is old but.. is it real? --Hiccup 09:52, 20 July 2013 (EDT)
- I think it's the full game, played on a special wii that resets after a certain ammount of time --Hiccup 10:14, 20 July 2013 (EDT)
BGM_IN_BUBBLE
Can someone please upload this music instead of me? I tried to upload but it showed the HTTP 413 screen. I found the direct ported music in one of the comments of the YouTube video of this music. I tried to upload it, but HTTP 413 shows up, I don't exactly know what to do about it. Arthur1124 (talk) 19:51, 16 January 2016 (EST)
- The file is too big. What format do you have it in? Only .ogg can be embedded here. -Ehm (talk) 19:52, 16 January 2016 (EST)
- Well the file wasn't an ogg, it was flac.
A video showing off all unused objects (if none were missed)
I saw this video in my feed, and it looks like some of these objects are not documented on this page. Plus, this is a nice place to view all unused objects and their various functionalities. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtqvrGGyPCk --Xwasp (talk) 23:14, 4 August 2017 (EDT)
How do I search through Mario Galaxy's Files
What do I do to search through Mario Galaxy's files to search for more unused sound effects? --Aaron Beasley 09:08, 4 May 2018 (EDT)
GenieHand and Twilight Princess
Now, this is just a hunch, but I believe that the unused model GenieHand was maybe supposed to be a Wall Master enemy to be brought back from the earlier Zelda games for Twilight Princess before it was scrapped early on. It could be plausible, since Super Mario Galaxy and Twilight Princess were both developed at the same time and the latter game has Mario assets left in it, so why not the other way around? May be coincidental but it is also blue like its original color palatte from The Legend of Zelda on NES/Famicom.
Unused Launch Star in Dusty Dune Galaxy?
According to this YouTube video, there's a random Launch Star floating off in the distance of Sunbaked Sand Castle level that takes you to the end of the level. It's right between two pyramids above empty quicksand, and never shows up in any other mission.
Any ideas what it might have been meant for?
[The Launch Star You Can Never Reach in Super Mario Galaxy]
NVIDIA Shield Port
Hello! Article regular here. I'm wondering if unused content in Super Mario Galaxy's NIVIDIA Shield port should be added to the main article, or moved to its own dedicated subpage? Because I have a bit of information I'd like to add to the article, but I'm unsure of where exactly it should go. Grazie!
- I think it could go on the main page as long as you make clear its only in the shield version. But if there's lots of content then you could make a subpage. --Hiccup (talk) 08:37, 18 February 2020 (EST)
Switch Box and scrapped item "CoinBlue"
This switch box could have shown these blue coins which probably are either placeholders for the Purple coins or they did something similar to Super Mario Sunshine. Judging by the name and this switch box these probably went unused because
1. It takes too long to collect each one.
2. It got removed in favor of the purple coins.
Or 3. These would not be able to be used because the switch box got removed.
Either way I'm glad that they changed it. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by TheEdit64195 (talk • contribs)
Super Luigi Wii
With the Korean version being called Super Mario Wii, was this change also applied to the "Super Luigi Galaxy!" line played when Luigi is unlocked? If not, that should probably be noted on the page. - Luke18033 (talk) 21:58, 24 July 2021 (UTC)
Red Launch Star
I remember in one of the old trailers for the game there was a Launch Star that used a red trail instead of the usual blue. Is it possible that it was supposed to be for the red launch star? It could also be possible that it might've been an early version of the Pink Launch Star created by the Hungry Lumas. Especially since that one leads to the Launch Star that would be on the Hungry Luma Planet that takes you the Capsule Planet in Good Egg Galaxy. --Yoshifan1219 (talk) 03:43, 28 August 2022 (UTC)
the 'Revisional Differences' section does not consider taiwanese version.
the article describes that this game was released in 2008 in taiwan, but there doesn't seem to be any description of the version released in taiwan at all in the article. I'd assume they translated the game into mandarin, but using traditional characters, rather than simplified ones.Lunathedog (talk) 14:04, 9 September 2023 (UTC)
