Mother 3/Unused Enemy Battles
This is a sub-page of Mother 3.
Notably, using Boney's smell ability on unused enemies will sometimes display the string "Debug Text".
 | To do: There's a lot more of these. Some examples can be seen here. |

Drago
When using the walk-through-walls cheat in the Prologue, the player can battle the green Dragos by walking into them! The Drago in battle does not attack and only confides "its worries to you", which makes you cry. When defeated, it leaves behind a Chimera Lab Map. The map will be in your inventory instead of the key items where maps usually go. It can't be discarded, though, so be careful.
The Drago has a good amount of health, making it an extremely-long battle so early in the game. Due to it dropping a Chimera Lab Map, there is very strong evidence tying this battle to the frozen Drago in the Chimera Lab in Chapter 7.
Tiny Forest
By far the most complete of all the unused enemies. The Tiny Forest seems to have been cut rather late into development as it is fully functional and has balanced stats. Thanks to some unused Battle Memory text, we know that this was originally meant to be a miniboss that would have likely been encountered at the end of the Mole Cricket Hole before exiting to Snowcap Mountain. Access it with 020047EC:BA.
Broom
Similarly to the green Dragos, you can fight the Brooms in Oshoe Castle using the walk-through-walls cheat. The Broom does not have any battle behavior, though.
