Paper Mario: Sticker Star is an example of an installment that's okay on its own merits, but is often considered an inferior game in comparison to itspredecessors and, to a lesser degree, itssuccessors.

To do: Unused script files. Regional differences (including map/scripting differences). Korean/Taiwan version has different Fan Sticker audio and graphics (source: Hiccup). English, Spanish, and French text differences between the American and European versions. Unused areas (there is also at least one in Surfshine Harbour). Possible unused data: by hacking Kersti into the inventory outside of the final boss, you can sell her for 15 coins. Unused code: in some circumstances when hacking the game you can get placeholder ellipses text to appear, like in Super Paper Mario. Bowling Ball crash. May only occur on older versions of the system software (but that's just a guess). Alot of stuffhere andhere andhere There's a debug menu mentioned?

Contained within the files kdm_char_data.bin and kdm_char_viewer.bin references to various removed followers exist, these were actually the partners that were present in pre-release versions.

Unused Stickers

IDs	Internal name	Image	Comment
C2,C3,C4	sl_sold_out_S, sl_sold_out_M, sl_sold_out_L		Three "Hammer" stickers which use this placeholder graphic. They cannot be used in battle, and have no description other than their name. The internal name suggests these were used in shops when stickers sold out, but... that cannot happen.
C5,C6,C7,C8	sl_test_sh2, sl_test_sh3, sl_test_mh2, sl_test_sv2		Four "Jump" stickers which use this placeholder graphic. When used in battle, they all execute a standard jump.
C9,CA	pg_mander		Two stickers which use theSL_PAGE graphic. They do nothing in battle and have no description or name, if collected outside battle a page will be added to the album.
CB,CC,CD,CE,CF,D0	sl_crown_red, sl_crown_yellow, sl_crown_violet, sl_crown_blue, sl_crown_green, sl_crown_gold		Sticker variants of the main collectibles - the Royal Crowns. They do nothing in or out of battle, but they do have an assigned menu name.

Early Sticker Scripts

Found inScript/Battle/Player arebtl_mario_water_pistol.bin andbtl_mario_water_pistol_test.bin which contain early scripts for the Water Pistol sticker.

Notably, the final version is contained inbtl_mario_water_pistol_test2.bin.

Removed Text

Global.msbt

Debug

global.msbt contains six empty entries, labelled as debug message data.

Battle Status and EXP

Entries for a Lucky status effect like the one found in the battle systems of the first two games as well as an entry for Starpoints, which are notoriously absent from the final game and it's sequels.

Kersti Test

May have once contained test dialogue for a tutorial given by Kersti.

Town_square.msbt

Unused NPC Dialogue Entries

May have held test dialogue for an NPC stationed somewhere in Decalburg.

Unused Sound Effects

To do: Unused text-box voices, the scrapped Chain Chomp partner and King Mander have leftover voices. Chain Chomp partner battle sound effects. Unused enemy sound effects, the deleted "Zakomander" enemy seems to have a lot of leftover sounds in particular. Unused sticker sound effects, there are some.

Unused Falling Behavior

To do: Is the flapping behavior the same as the "fall from great height" behavior?

If Mario falls off a level, he will flap his arms and a sound effect will play (like in cutscenes where he falls), resulting in a Game Over. This isn't actually possible without clipping out of the stage with a glitch, or by hacking. However, Mario "falling outside a stage" is mentioned in the digital manual.
