Unused Music

This is a sub-page of MapleStory.

While the game is well known for its nostalgic and oddly relaxing tunes, some of them either didn't make the cut, or hang around long after they're needed.

Attack On Titan Event#

MapleStory, first in Japanese MapleStory and then later in Global, had a 2015 crossover event with Attack On Titan.

Tera Forest and Neo City#

Tera Forest and Neo City formed an expansive theme dungeon which was "closed for renovation" along with several other dungeons in the v.150 "Rising Heroes" patch on June 24, 2014. While some of those have returned, Neo City has not. The track "Kamuna" was re-used as the BGM for the map "Forest of Oblivion" in the revamped Mushroom Shrine, but the rest of Neo City's tracks remain unused.

Hana

Sound2/BgmJP/Hana

Alternate version of the Yume background music used in Showa Town with a different, cheerier sounding intro.

FirstStepMaster

Sound2/BgmJP/FirstStepMaster

BGM for the Mushroom Town Training Camp area, an alternative start that was removed all the way back in 2008!

WCSelect

BgmUI/WCSelect

Used in the world and character select screen from early beta, as evidenced in this video. Was later reused in the MapleStoryM beta for its original purpose. Definitely an interesting choice, considering all of the other songs they could have picked instead.

WhereTheBarlogFrom

Bgm01/WhereTheBarlogFrom

An enigmatic track that sounds similar to Nightmare, the BGM in Perion. According to some Korean pages, it was originally the BGM of Perion Warriors Sanctuary, where Warriors went to job advance. Notably, that particular job instructor is named Dances With 'Balrog'.

OldMaple

BgmGL/OldMaple

Used on the login screen during the Chaos update in 2011
