In Super Paper Mario, Mr. L is actually much smaller than Mario and Luigi, and gets scaled up at runtime. The game was originally developed for the GameCube before moving to Wii; Mario and Luigi received new Wii graphics while Mr. L was stuck with small GameCube textures.

An unused model of a roll of toilet paper that was at one point going to be used in the bathroom of Merlee's Mansion in Super Paper Mario. It remains a hidden asset on the map.

E3 2004 footage of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (GCN) from a Famitsu Wave DVD. This is a higher-quality version of the footage that we have. Similar to other E3 2004 demo footage, this does not contain background music, so sound effects can clearly be heard.

Super Mario RPG features Jinx, a miniboss noted for his small size. The prototype version of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga shows that he was planned to reappear in that game. Possibly to increase the comedic factor, he was made even smaller.

SPM also contains equivalents for Luigi and even Mr. L.

TTYD contains an unused graphic of Mario jumping while crouching. This carried over into SPM, where it's less compressed. Despite the latter game featuring the ability to jump while crouching, it utilizes the normal crouching pose, so this remains unused.

In the Paper Mario TTYD Remake, Bowser has a “receive item” animation different from the animation that plays when he receives the fake Garnet Star. This is not possible to see in the game without hacks.

In the concept art for Paper Mario: Color Splash, one of the early designs for the Red Rescue Squad Toads resembles Andy from Advance Wars, which is another series developed by Intelligent Systems.

In Paper Mario: Sticker Star, the Oasis Toad's drink appears similar to the Fresh Juice item from TTYD and Mango Juice item from SPM. The variant with the orange slice (reminiscent of the Fresh Juice) is unused in the final game.

It’s a couple days late but… Happy 1st Anniversary to the discovery of the Paper Mario E3 2010 trailer. This was one of the biggest lost media finds in Paper Mario history and was partially the reason why the Paper Mario Beta Archive was started.
