Paper Mario: Sticker Star is an example of an installment that's okay on its own merits, but is often considered an inferior game in comparison to its predecessors and, to a lesser degree, its successors.

To do: A lot of stuff here and here and here Unused script files. Regional differences (including map/scripting differences). Korean/Taiwan version has different Fan Sticker audio and graphics (source: Hiccup). English, Spanish, and French text differences between the American and European versions. Unused areas (there is also at least one in Surfshine Harbour). Possible unused data: by hacking Kersti into the inventory outside of the final boss, you can sell her for 15 coins. Unused code: in some circumstances when hacking the game you can get placeholder ellipses text to appear, like in Super Paper Mario. Bowling Ball crash. May only occur on older versions of the system software (but that's just a guess). There's a debug menu mentioned? Unused graphics https://twitter.com/PaperMarioBeta/status/1708306229767106612 https://twitter.com/PaperMarioBeta/status/1708304980892098739 Unused Bowser Jr. Magic Paintbrush attack https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brY5ECK0hjs Unused A button graphics, plus in-game screenshot oddity https://twitter.com/PaperMarioBeta/status/1708554659823288322 Unused wearable shell stickers https://twitter.com/Mariocastle_it/status/1787603132601471149 Unused stickers based on badges and items from the first three games and powerups from the 2D platformers https://twitter.com/Mariocastle_it/status/1787603136225444295 Unused status effects https://x.com/HunterXuman/status/1837295190089814203 https://x.com/HunterXuman/status/1837301719694196996 https://x.com/HunterXuman/status/1837306330358419683 https://x.com/HunterXuman/status/1837309879331041412 https://x.com/HunterXuman/status/1837314824482545902 Deleted maps Very obscure attack For oddities page: "strange skeletal head possibly resembling king mander seems to be present in the luigi newspaper screenshot for drybake stadium" Unused collision and loading zone in museum? (early version of the entrance stairway?) There are some unused objects which retain some model placement data and scripts, such as vertical and horizontal firebars. Can these be restored?

Prerelease Info

Notes

Unused Enemies Foes that didn't make the cut.

Unused Graphics Remnants of papers past.

Oddities Miscellaneous scraps.

Regional Differences Differences across the five retail versions of the game.

Removed Followers

Contained within the files kdm_char_data.bin and kdm_char_viewer.bin are references to various removed followers. These were actually the partners that were present in pre-release versions.

Internal Name	Analysis
p_wanwan	The Chain Chomp partner from the E3 2010 trailer. Animation data referencing a collar is still present, which seems to suggest that it had a unique design made before being cut from the game.
p_kuribo_g	A Goomba, interestingly referred to as both Goombario and a Galoomba across kdm_char_data.
p_slit	Unknown, referred to as "Slit-san" (Mr. Slit) in kdm_char_data. "slit" refers to the paper mode ability present in The Thousand-Year Door and Super Paper Mario.
p_lucie	An early version of Kersti. The counterpart used in the final game is p_lucie02.

Unused Stickers

IDs	Internal name	Image	Comment
C2, C3, C4	sl_sold_out_S, sl_sold_out_M, sl_sold_out_L		Three "Hammer" stickers which use this placeholder graphic. They cannot be used in battle, and have no description other than their name. The internal name suggests these were used in shops when stickers sold out, but... that cannot happen.
C5, C6, C7, C8	sl_test_sh2, sl_test_sh3, sl_test_mh2, sl_test_sv2		Four "Jump" stickers which use this placeholder graphic. When used in battle, they all execute a standard jump.
C9, CA	pg_mander		Two stickers which use the SL_PAGE graphic. They do nothing in battle and have no description or name, if collected outside battle a page will be added to the album.
CB, CC, CD, CE, CF, D0	sl_crown_red, sl_crown_yellow, sl_crown_violet, sl_crown_blue, sl_crown_green, sl_crown_gold		Sticker variants of the main collectibles - the Royal Crowns. They do nothing in or out of battle, but they do have an assigned menu name.

Early Sticker Scripts

Found in Script/Battle/Player are btl_mario_water_pistol.bin and btl_mario_water_pistol_test.bin which contain early scripts for the Water Pistol sticker.

Notably, the final version is contained in btl_mario_water_pistol_test2.bin.

Unused Cutscene

To do: Is there any internal info that could give a clue what this was for?

This cutscene is normally inaccessible, as you cannot bring any of Wiggler's Segments to 1-3, however if you modify the game to allow yourself to, this cutscene plays upon entering the room.
The fifth entry Wiggler's Diary is also unlocked in the process, that being the one relating to Surfshine Harbor.

Unused Text

To do: Add missing descriptions, filenames, string names and IDs, placement relative to other strings when relevant, make pre tags stack vertically

General

These are alongside the item pickup names for the Hammer, HP-Up Heart, and Book of Sealing. There is no name display when you pick up coins in the final game. This text is only present in the American English, American Spanish, American French, and Japanese languages, and is blanked in every other language.

IC_1COIN

A plural version of "away_single_kino_system_mess". A stack of Toads follows you in Warm Fuzzy Plains, but this system message never appears. Running into an enemy doesn't cause the Toads to leave, they have different dialogue if you leave the level, and no system message appears when they form the stairs. This text is not present in any of the European translations.

File: global_event.msbt

Text Label	American English	American Spanish	American French	Japanese	Korean	Simplified Chinese	Traditional Chinese
away_kinopio_system_mess	The Toads left you.	¡Los Toads han dejado tu grupo!	Les Toad t'ont quitté.	キノピオたちと別れた	키노피오들과 헤어졌다	和奇诺比奥们分开了。	與奇諾比奧們告別了

Prologue

Kersti

This dialogue is supposed to appear if the player peels the Jump sticker off the Toad's head, then attempts to leave it there. Kersti will indicate the sticker and tell Mario to pick it up. After he does, she gives him the album.

This is impossible to see in the final game as Mario's movement is halted until the end of the cutscene, after which he will always collect the sticker and trigger the "first sticker collected" scene that gives him the album. He can peel off other stickers, not pick them up, and run away or let them despawn, but that does not trigger any response from Kersti. There is no rucy_seal_first_1 or rucy_seal_first_2 dialogue.

Water's Edge Way

File: stg1_3.msbt

Text Label	American English	Notes
kinopio_butsukaru_02	Ow ow ow owie ow ow...	The other kinopio_butsukaru text is used for the Toad who crashes into Mario in Water's Edge Way. He says 01, runs into Mario and straightens himself out, then says 03. He does have a similar cry of pain when he runs into Mario in Warm Fuzzy Plains. This text is blanked in the British English version.

Aw, what's wrong? Feeling chicken? Come on, take your best shot, sparklebarkle!	Due to the naming, likely meant to be after the second phase of the boss starts. The boss says nothing there in the final game.

Unused Museum Track

The Sticker Museum's music player has 29 tracks, with an unused 30th named "Scary Story" being listed in the text data. However, the code for the music player does not reference this text, nor does it assign an audio file to the title. Instead, the player loops back to the first track, "Detective Mario."

Given that the 29th track is "The Giant Arises," which plays in a cutscene before Bowser's fight in Bowser's Sky Castle, and that the music player does not include any battle themes, this title was likely intended for the song that plays in the cutscene after the first phase of the boss.

To do: Elaborate on "sorted by the file they were found in". Also, the ones with asterisks are just meant to be headers for the normal entries (used and unused), right?

Unused Sound Effects

To do: Unused text-box voices, the scrapped Chain Chomp partner and King Mander have leftover voices. Chain Chomp partner battle sound effects. Unused enemy sound effects, the deleted "Zakomander" enemy seems to have a lot of leftover sounds in particular. Unused sticker sound effects, there are some. Leftover sounds from prototype mechanics.

Removed Audio

To do: There might be more.

Located in kdm_sound.bin are references to a few audio streams and sequences that don't actually appear in the finished game's files.

File Name	Analysis
STRM_BGM_MAP_PORTTOWN_SHOP	Some sort of shop theme for Surfshine Habor, the only shop theme to exist in the final game is internally labeled as STRM_BGM_MAP_SHOP instead.
STRM_BGM_KAMEK_BATTLE2	A second Kamek battle theme, this is not the low health variant as that one is referenced in the same file under STRM_BGM_KAMEK_BATTLE_PINCH.
TOWN_INN	Some sort of Inn theme for Decalburg, which lacks an inn in the final game. It appears that this theme was removed much earlier than the others as no references to an audio stream remain.
SEQ_BGM_MAP_FIELD_TRUMP	Unknown, some kind of sequence rather than a streamed audio file.

Unused Falling Behavior

To do: Is the flapping behavior the same as the "fall from great height" behavior?

If Mario falls off a level, he will flap his arms and a sound effect will play (like in cutscenes where he falls), resulting in a Game Over. This isn't actually possible without clipping out of the stage with a glitch, or by hacking. However, Mario "falling outside a stage" is mentioned in the digital manual.
