Super Mario 64 (Nintendo 64)/Unused Sounds & Sound Definitions

This article is a work in progress. ...Well, all the articles here are, in a way. But this one moreso, and the article may contain incomplete information and editor's notes.

Unused Sounds

To do: IDs/filenames (from leaked source code if needed), and replace (almost) all of these as .ogg files.

Unused Mario Jump Sound

An unused sound for Mario jumping exists. This was used in E3/pre-E3 footage from 1996. This was later used in future games such as Super Smash Bros. and Super Mario Sunshine.

Unused Trapdoor Sound

To do: Add details and a fix for the rendering settings.

An unused sound for the trapdoor leading to Bowser in the Dark World. It can be heard in footage of the Shoshinkai 1995 build of the game. Technically used, but goes unheard due to the object having the wrong rendering settings.

Unused Boing Sound

An unused boing sound. It may have been intended for the unused trampoline, or for Moneybags.

E3 1996 Vibraphone Instrument

An unused vibraphone instrument. It was originally the main instrument used in Dire Dire Docks in E3 1996 footage.

Unused Recorder Instrument

An unused recorder instrument, contained in the Bowser battle instrument bank. This instrument was later used for the remix of the Wing Cap theme in Super Mario 64 DS.
