Unused Maps

This is a sub-page of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door.

Unused Maps#

To do: The rest of the maps: tik_14, rsh_05_b, rsh_05_c, rsh_06_b, rsh_06_c (note that Zephiles says that these unused rsh maps don't have init scripts).

The unused field maps don't exist in the world_data struct, unlike the used field maps.

Demo Movie#

To do: What specific character models are used?

Watch on YouTubePresent only in the Japanese Gekkan Demo and the PAL release, the "dig" stage loads demo.thp from the disc root and plays it as the stage background. Random characters pop up at random intervals from the sides of the screen. If START is pressed, it brings you to the title screen - likely was used for an attract mode akin to the one in Paper Mario 64.

Pit of 100 Trials#

These unused maps are named with the Rogueport Sewers prefix ("tik"), but appear to be intended to be in the Pit of 100 Trials. The used Pit of 100 Trials maps all have the "jon" prefix, except for the entrance room which is under "tik".

	Early	Final
jon_kanban_0

This appears to be an early map for the Pit of 100 Trials normal floors, which use jon_00 in the final game. The final game also uses differently-colored variations - jon_01 and jon_02. It has three warps in the form of pipes. It doesn't have any enemies in and the sign can't be read. The lower pipe activates itself, has glitchy collision, and doesn't seem able to be entered. Tattling produces the "no messages" error text. The only texture that differs is the one for the sign. Interestingly the sign texture is called "jon_kanban_0" in both maps. All the textures match between the early and final maps.

tik_10#

Model/objects

	Early	Final

In-Game

Textures

	Early	Final
jon_kanban_0	doesn't exist	matches jon_00's jon_kanban_0
tik_ganban_0
tik_renga_05.5_0		doesn't exist
tik_tex_02_0		doesn't exist

This appears to be an early map for the Pit of 100 Trials intermediate floors, which use jon_03 in the final game. The lower pipe is already activated when you enter the map, and goes to tik_14. The right-hand pipe goes to the used Pit of 100 Trials entrance map, like the final intermediate floors. The chest contains a Mushroom, and tattling produces the "no messages" error text. All the textures other than the ones compared above match between the early and final maps.

Internal Map Group Names#

To do: What is the internal order of these names?

In addition to the short abbreviated map group names, Japanese map group names exist as Shift-JIS text in the dol. Only "Abbreviated Name" and "Japanese Name" in the below table are from the game data. The rest of it is supplementary. These aren't necessarily in any internal order. Unused ones are in bold.
