Functional Unused Enemies#

btl_un_wanawana

ワナワナー
(Wanawanaa)

N/A

The code for this enemy is found in tst.rel (Test Level) and tou2.rel (Glitzville). Appears in-battle as Goombella, using the early model with visible soles.

"Wanawana" is the onomatopoeia for trembling.

btl_un_hatty,
btl_un_kohatty

ハッチー
(Bzzap!)
コバッチー
(Small Bzzap!)

N/A

An enemy from the original Paper Mario that doesn't appear in the sequel, as well as a small variant. (The ko prefix here means "child" or "small".) Found in tst.rel (Test Level), appears as a Paragloomba. Spawns tiny versions of itself, which resembles one of its attacks from the first game.
If the small version is defeated, it will spawn another one, but doesn't do anything other than that.

btl_un_ufo

キャッチャン
(Sentinel)

N/A

This refers to the UFO-like flying enemies in Tubba Blubba's castle in Paper Mario.

Found in tst.rel (Test Level). Attempts to load non-existent models ufo and coin.

When spawned, it hovers around for a moment before droping a coin model onto a selected enemy, and then leaves.

Perhaps not an unused enemy as much as a stage effect.

N/A

btl_un_kanbu2

Lord Crump

**btl_hlp_kanbu2**
『ペケダー』よ＿タイプ２よ

That's Lord Crump.
This is type 2.
{| style="margin: 1px 0px 1px 0; background-color: #e8e9e8; color: #000; line-height: 1.50; font-size: 120%; border: 2px #454645 solid; height: 96px; width: 288px;" | | さいだいＨＰは『１５』で
こうげき力は『Ｘ』　ぼうぎょ力は『０』よ
|} Max HP is 15,
Attack is X, and Defense is 0.

An unused battle with Lord Crump, found in the Great Tree's level data.
Attacks just like the Lord Crump encountered in the prologue.

Once defeated, he jumps offstage and mentions getting into the Magnus Von Grapple.

btl_un_crimson_met

Red Buzzy Beetle

**btl_hlp_crimson_met**
アカメット

Red Buzzy Beetle

Works the same as a regular Blue Buzzy Beetle, with adjusted stats.

btl_un_crimson_patamet

R. Parabuzzy

**btl_hlp_crimson_patamet**
アカパタメット

Red Parabuzzy

Ditto.

btl_un_crimson_patatogemet

Spiked R. Parabuzzy

**btl_hlp_crimson_patatogemet**
アカパタトゲメット

Red Spiked Parabuzzy

Ditto.

btl_un_test

テストキャラ (Test Chara)

N/A

Found in tst.rel (Test Level).

An early version of Koopas, which attacks with jumps.
Tries to load a non-existent nokonoko model.

N/A

btl_un_okorl,
btl_un_yowarl,
btl_un_tsuyonarl

オコール (Okooru),
ヨワール (Yowaaru),
ツヨナール (Tsuyonaaru)

N/A

Enemy entries for all three are found in tst.rel (Test Level), but they just act as a regular Goomba.

This is an odd case. While Okooru does have a texture file, the only texture present is this reference image. He has not been broken up into parts like the other enemies, so he can't possibly function as one. This was one of the first image files to be entered into the game, and it hasn't been modified since it was first put in.

Okooru means "to get angry". It looks quite calm how it is now. The battle probably changed when the meter on its head got to red.

Yowaaru's name is taken from Yowaru, meaning "to weaken". Possibly was meant as a stronger version of Okooru.

Tsuyonaaru's name is taken from Tsuyomaru, meaning "to gain strength". Possibly was meant as a stronger version of Yowaaru.

N/A

btl_un_minarai_kamec,

Enemy entries for all of these are found in tst.rel (Test Level), but they just act as a regular Goomba.

btl_un_hotdog_master,
btl_un_nancy,
btl_un_master,
btl_un_marco,
btl_un_reporter

N/A

Found in tst.rel (Test Level).

Internal names refer to various NPCs: Mr. Hoggle, Zess.T, Podley (internal NPC name is masutaa, or "proprietor"), Flavio and Lakitu Reporter.

Their code is not complete, though, and they just appear as Doopliss transformed as Mario, who crashes when trying to execute an attack.

btl_un_powan

ポワン (Pennington)

N/A

Found in tst.rel (Test Level).

Appears to be a Toad wearing a Nibbles hat, which will try to bite the player every turn. The hat can be temporarily shaken off with superguards.

When defeated, another one spawns, falling from the ceiling and starts talking. Once 5 of them are defeated, the battle ends.

btl_un_yoshi

チビヨッシー (Yoshi Kid)

N/A

Found in tst.rel (Test Level).

The internal ID of this entity is the same as the partner Yoshi Kid - but the other partners are not defined as enemies anywhere (the ones found in Doopliss' battles are separate entities entirely).

Unused Ceiling Behaviors#

PMTTYD_BuzzyBeetle_Ceiling.mp4

Buzzy Beetle#

All grounded Buzzy Beetle variants have an unused behavior for being on the ceiling, as well as an unused attack where they drop from the ceiling and land on the player. After the attack they remain on the ground for the rest of the battle.

(Source: Jdaster64)

Piranha Plant#

Piranha Plants have a similar behavior, after attacking the player there is a chance they can reappear on the ceiling if there is one in the battle. Although this behavior is technically used, no Piranha Plant variants ever appear in battles where a ceiling appears.
