Unused Models

This is a sub-page of Super Mario Strikers.

This article has just been started and needs the article basics added.
Help us out and add them.
Notes: full file paths

Careful, you'll lose an eye.

This page or section needs more images.
There's a whole lotta words here, but not enough pictures. Please fix this.
Specifically: Some of the models appear to have corrupted textures, and all but the Dull Bones pic were taken in a 3D model-viewing program. Take transparent pics of these models, and see if it's possible to restore the broken textures (versions of these models with corrected textures have been uploaded to The Models Resource).

Most of the unused models use a texture format different from the texture format used for the models in the game.

Sidekicks#

At one point, each of the captains was to get their own pack of original sidekick characters themed after their captain, instead of the Toads, Shy Guys, Hammer Bros. and Koopas in the final game. Untextured models remain for Mario and Donkey Kong's sidekicks, as well as an untextured Luigi.

Camera Characters#

Models of a Pianta and a Shy Guy each holding cameras, both of which were replaced by automated cameras. Although these Shy Guys can be seen in the demo build, the textures for the camera appear to be different.

Recolored Marios#

Three recolors of Mario's default outfit model. Although the textures appear very corrupted, it's barely clear enough that these recolors were based on Luigi, Wario, and Waluigi respectively.

Goalies#

Found in the game are 2 separate (and quite different) models listed as "Goalie". One appears to be a scrapped unique model similar to the sidekicks, and one uses a model of Luigi. Both's textures are very corrupted.

Medic#

The medic appears to be a 3D Dull Bones from Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door wearing a red cross shirt. It uses the same texture format as the final version.

Security Pianta#

Security Pianta once had a presence in prerelease versions of the game, but went unused later on. Just like the Dull Bones medic, it also uses the final texture format.

Test Balls#

Found leftover are several unused Test Balls. Each of them have a unique texture including one with Mario and Luigi's emblem. All five balls' textures appear to be varyingly corrupted, with the fourth one having it the worst.

Unused Stages#

Leftover in the game are several unused stadium models for stages that appear to have been scrapped. These all appear either unfinished or corrupted, to say the least.
