This article pertains to the beta elements of Paper Mario.
Early screenshots of this game showed that Poochy was going to play some sort of role in the game and another screenshot showed that Nep-Enuts were going to be in this game also (Indicating that Lava Lava island was going to be more like Yoshi's island). Also the early version of Forever Forest showed that it would be much smaller, with all the forest's trees having sinister faces. Paper Mario was also originally going to be named Super Mario RPG 2, though due to complications involving Square, the makers of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, the name was changed to Super Mario Adventure and later Mario Story (Paper Mario out of Japan). Also, it was originally in development for the failed Nintendo 64DD. However, it was released in cartridge. A screenshot had also shown a strange, beta Whale.
The release version of the game contains some scrapped Badges that can be accessed with a Gameshark or similar. Fully functional Dark Paratroopa and Albino Dino enemies exist in the ROM, as well. Finally, Goombaria's name and icon are both present in the game's list of partners for Mario.
Mario has a different look in the beta version, having the kind of eyes he has in Super Mario Bros 3, instead of the final black dot.

Debug Rooms
Debug rooms are areas in a game that facilitate testing. They sometimes can be considered beta elements. Some leftover debug rooms were found in the Paper Mario ROM. [1] As with most debug rooms, they are accessible using an exit modifier gameshark code.

Room eleven
- In this debug room, the text 'MARIO RPG' is written on the floor and the blocks give mushrooms. If Mario attempts to talk to the Star Rod, the game freezes. There is a hammer in the chest (Which also freezes the game), another small chest, some junk and path from 0 to 7 (the numbers shown is the same font used from Super Mario 64 and leads to chapter with number he choosed). If Mario jumps on Goompa, it act like an enemy, but don't battle. Partner will fly through this room. When Mario talks to Kolorado (over 2nd path) his HP changes to 11. Whe he talks to Koopa (Over 1st path) his HP changes to 8.
- Here, there is some junk too with beta POW Block. If Mario hits it, it will just shake and nothing will happen.
- In the third room, if Mario goes through any of the doors, he will reappear in the opposite path. Also there's health box and star panel.
- This is an area with a Mario clone, a useless switch, and Goompa (Who says nothing). This may have been used for testing purposes.
- In a strange unused area, there are Koopas who have the ability to transform into Mario's partners. The floor will also start moving in a wave like way whenever Mario walks somewhere.
- In this room, Goombario is shown saying the same tattle he says in the Jump Attack game. Looks like beta lunapark.
- It's room three.
- This room looks like it is in Crystal Palace, here the background is different than in the final version.
- This room has various pipes in the floor, which don't lead to anywhere (You just can't enter them).
- Some blocks appear in this room.
- A chest, stairs and some blocks appear here, but they're empty.
Unused Items
These unused items were found in the code of Paper Mario[2]. Most of their names and descriptions were never translated officially.
| Item Number | Name | Icon | Effect | In Game Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0087 | むしよけそう Mushi Yoke Sou Insect Protection Grass |
File:PM Beta Insecticide.png | Attacks one enemy. Does zero damage to most enemies, but defeats bugs instantly, with no SP gain. | 虫のてきを おいはらう （Drives away bug like adversaries.) |
| 0091 | ハッスルドリンク Hassuru Dorinku Hustle Drink |
File:PM Beta Hustle Drink.png | Appears to be something Mario drinks during battle, he then steams. Once it is used, Mario attacks 2 times next turn. Not usable in the field. | バトルで つぎのマリオのばんが きたとき ２回 こうどうできる (Next turn in battle, Mario can take 2 actions.) |
| 0099 | おねがいカムバック Onegai Kamu Bakku Please Come Back |
File:PM Beta Onegai.png | When used in battle, it becomes a broken dizzy dial and wastes Mario's turn. Not usable in the field. The sign on the tag looks like the Japanese character for sun. | どこかへ とばされた なかまも おねがいすれば もどってくるぞ (If you wish for the partner that has been scattered somewhere, it will return.) とばされた パーティーキャラを よびもどす。 (Calls back removed party characters.) |

| 0026 | あやしいメモ (suspicious note) | File:PM Beta Mystery Note.png | Looks like a mystery note prototype. This is corroborated by the fact that it can be presented to Russ T. any time after rescuing Skolar. It doesn't seem to change the conversation, however. In game description: "あやしいもじが かいてあるメモ" (Mysterious characters are printed on this thing.) | |
| 0028 | ネジまわし (screwdriver) | File:PM Beta Screwdriver.png | ネジを回す どうぐです はやく クリパパに わたしましょう (It's a tool for turning screws. Hurry it to Goompa.) | |

File:PM Beta Toad Doll.png | In game description is 「キノピオの にんぎょう｣、 which is the same as the item's name. | |

| 0072 | ノコジロウのコウラ (Koopa Koot's shell) | File:PM Beta Koot Shell.png | ノコジロウのたのまれもの Koopa Koot's requested object. | |
| 0075 | しゃしん (photograph) | File:PM Beta Old Photo.png | This would appear to be a dummy of one of Koopa Koot's quest items. | |
| 007D | Prison Key | File:PM Beta Prison Key.png | This icon is used for they keys in Peach's castle. There is an item called "Prison Key," but it looks different. | |

Unused Badges
These Badges can be found in the game's coding[3] and are never seen during the game.
<section begin=badge1 />
| Badge Number | Japanese Name | Name of Badge | Icon | BP Needed | Effect/Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 00F0 | ハンマチャージ０ Hamma Chaaji 0 Hammer Charge 0 | File:A - unused smash charge.PNG | 1 | Uses 1 FP. Increases Mario's hammer attack by 1. | |
| 00F6 | ジャンチャージ０ Jan Chaaji 0 Jump Charge 0 | File:A - unused jump charge.PNG | 1 | Uses 1 FP. Increases Mario's jump attack by 1. | |
| 0101 | イカリノパワー Ikari no Pawaa Anger's Power | File:A - unused mad.PNG File:Paper Mario Badge 0x0101 Effect.gif |
8 | Odd badge that causes Mario to assume a dark red tinge and angry pose during battles. Mario's portion of each turn is controlled by the CPU. The partner is controlled by the player. Mario's attack increases by 2, but his AI is quite rudimentary (enough so that he will jump on spiked enemies). Effects are much like the "berserk" status from other RPGs. | |
| 0102 | バッチリコマンド Bacchiri Komando Perfect Command | Right On! | File:PAPER MARIO BETA BADGE 0102.png |
8 | Activates all action commands perfectly and automatically. Causes a Japanese sign (バッチリ bacchiri, which means perfect or right on the mark) to appear over the description of the action command. Note that it works for Mario, but not his partner. |
| 010E | ヒッサツフミイ Hissatsu Fumii Certain Kill Step | File:A - unused ultra jump.PNG | 1 | Uses 2 FP to execute a standard jump attack perfectly. | |
| 010F | ヒッサツナグーリ Hissatsu Naguuri Certain Kill Whack | File:A - unused Ultra Smash.PNG | 1 | Uses 2 FP to execute a standard hammer attack perfectly. | |
| 0110 | ハピハピーハート Hapi Hapii Haato Happy Happy Heart | File:A - unused Happy Heart.PNG | 10 | Like Happy Heart, but recovers 3 HP every turn instead of 1. | |
| 0115 | スーパーゲットー Suupaa Gettoo Super Gettoo | File:A - unused HP drain.PNG | 10 | Recovers more HP per hit than HP Drain, exact amount unclear. Possibly 2 HP per hit, up to a max of 5. Reduces attack power by 2 | |
| 0118 | オートツギツギー Ooto Tsugitsugii Auto (Attack) in Succession | File:A - unused Multibounce.PNG | 2 | Uses 5 FP, has the same effect as Multibounce, but no action command is required. | |
| 0119 | トテモセツヤーク Totemo Setsuyaaku Total Economizing | File:A - unused Lucky Day.PNG | 10 | Reduces the FP consumed by every move by 2. It won't make a move free. Note that it stacks on top of the 2 Flower Saver badges. | |
| 0122 | バゴーンジャンプ Bagoon Janpu Bagoon Jump | File:A - unused Mega Power Bounce.PNG | 2 | Uses 4 FP to do 4, 5, or 6 damage to 1 enemy, depending on which set of boots Mario has. The action command, which is the normal jump action command, increases damage by 1. | |
| 0125 | バゴーンナグーリ Bagoon Naguuri Bagoon Hammer | File:A - unused D down smash.PNG | 2 | Uses 4 FP to do 4, 5, or 6 damage to 1 enemy, depending on which hammer Mario has. The action command, which is the normal hammer action command, increases damage by 1. | |
| 0127 | ガツーンナグーリ Gatsuun Naguuri Force Whack/ドカーンハンマー Dokaan Hanmaa Bang Hammer | Power Smash/Mega Smash | File:PAPER MARIO BETA BADGE 00EA.png | 3 | Called Power Smash in the field, Mega Smash in battle. Uses six FP to do Mega Smash. Its in-game description changes to match its name... |
| 0128 | ガツーンナグーリ Gatsuun Naguuri Force Whack/ドカーンハンマー Dokaan Hanmaa Bang Hammer | Power Smash/Mega Smash | File:PAPER MARIO BETA BADGE 00EA.png | 3 | Identical to badge #127? |
| 012A | スーパーネガーウ Suupaa Negaau Super Prayer | File:A - unused deep focus.PNG | 5 | Appears to be a different design for Deep Focus. It seems to function exactly like Deep Focus. This badge's icon is also the icon used for the Deep Focus badge outside Bowser's Castle, until you put it in your inventory, then it uses 1 BP and looks normal. | |
| 012B | ミニミニナグーリ Minimini Naguuri Minimini Wack | Shrink Smash | File:A - unused shrink smash.PNG | 1 | Uses 2 FP to create a hammer based shrink stomp. It's description, notably, says it uses only 1 FP. |
| 012C | コウラワーリ Koura Waari Shell Waari | File:PAPER MARIO BETA BADGE 00EA.png | 3 | Uses 6 FP to execute a normal(?) hammer attack. | |
| 012D | カイデーン Kaideen | File:PAPER MARIO BETA BADGE 012D.png | 0 | Effect unknown. Possibly not a badge. | |
| 0131 | ジシーンジャンプ Jishiin Janpu Earthquake Jump | File:A - unused Dizzy Jump.PNG | 2 | Uses 1 FP. "(NOT USED ANY LONGER!)" appears at the bottom of the screen in place of an action command. Mario jumps up and down repeatedly in the center of the enemy side of the field. All ground enemies are hit for 1 damage each time he lands. The player must press A every time Mario hits the ground to keep him jumping and racking up damage. | |
| 0149 | ピッキョローンＦ Pikkyoroon F | Attack FX F | File:Attack fx F badge.PNG | 0 | Changes the sound effects from Mario's hammer and jump attacks. The sound effect is the laughter of flowers in forever forest. |
| 0150 | ゲンキゲンキ Genki Genki Healthy Healthy | File:A - unused feeling fine.PNG | 1 | Prevents poison and dizziness. | |
| 0151 | ピッキョローンＦ Pikkyoroon F | Attack FX F | File:Attack fx F badge.PNG | 0 | Identical to badge #149? |
| 0152 | ピッキョローンＦ Pikkyoroon F | Attack FX F | File:Attack fx F badge.PNG | 0 | Identical to badge #149? |
| 0153 | ピッキョローンＦ Pikkyoroon F | Attack FX F | File:Attack fx F badge.PNG | 0 | Identical to badge #149? |

In addition to the above, the following images were found within the game's ROM[4]. Though they have no assigned item, they are likely to be unused item sprites. The key items are on top, badges are in the center, and normal items are on the bottom.
