Unused Music
Game Over
Z51_J_GameOver
This song isn't used anywhere in the game. It would make sense for it to play when you choose to quit after losing in Classic mode, but it doesn't.
Unused Sounds
Character Voices
Keep in mind that with the exception of the "strong knockback" files and one of Meta Knight's voice clips, all of the unused files for characters reusing voices from Brawl are also unused here.
Marth_002-004
Three clips of Marth which played whenever he successfully countered an attack in previous installments. Marth uses one of his generic yells when countering in this game, rendering these unique lines unused. These are still present in the game's sound test as sounds 22-24. In Roy's trailer, you can hear Marth saying the first clip above when he is countering.
Mewtwo_win01_01
Mewtwo saying ""Watashi wa makeru wake niwa ikanai", translating as "There is no way I can lose.". Similarly to Melee, this voice clip is used in Japanese versions of the game in Mewtwo's victory poses, but is overwritten with files where Mewtwo doesn't talk in international releases.
Mewtwo_win02_01
Mewtwo saying "Watashi wa naze koko ni iru no ka... ?", which translates to "Why am I here... ?". Same situation as the above audio clip.
Mewtwo_win03_01
Mewtwo saying "Orokana.", which translates to... "Fool." Guess what happened here.
Rosetta_Attack07
Rosalina playfully yelling. Appears to have been intended as another generic attacking voice, and is likely a leftover from Mario Kart 7, where Rosalina's other voice files were imported from.
Wario_010
A groggy moan by the greedy porkster. In the previous game, this file was used when the effects of Wario's Final Smash (Wario-Man) ran out, and he reverted to his normal form. Under the same circumstances, Wario is silent in this game.
Sound Effects
| To do: Dig into this more explicitly. |
Peach_Special_C2_L04
A bizarre sound present in Peach's sound effect bank. As "C" stands for Custom moves, and "L" is an abbreviation for a character's Down-B special move in the audio files, one may speculate that this was intended to be used for Light Veggie, the second variation of Peach's Vegetable special.
Sheik_Appear01
This sound was used in Brawl when Sheik teleported on-screen before a match started. As Sheik uses a different effect for her entrance here, this file was made redundant.
Unused Custom Moves
One of the new gimmicks of the 3DS and Wii U Smash games is the fact that every special move of each character has received two alternate versions, called "Custom Moves". However, there were apparently plans for a third variation of each special move.
While most of them are nonfunctional versions of their regular special moves, there are some interesting exceptions:
- Mario was allegedly supposed to get an alternate version of the FLUDD, which would deal electric damage.
- Various Up Specials, like Ike's Aether or King Dedede's Super Dedede Jump, originally had a variant where they would fall to the ground slower. It's unknown if those versions really would deal no damage, or if that's just a case of missing data.
- Most of the third variants of projectile specials, like most of Mega Man's specials or Bowser Jr.'s Neutral Special, do not spawn projectiles. In the case of these examples, this is an important fact, because these specials do have variants where the projectile uses a completely different model (like Mega Man's Metal Blade/Hyper Bomb/Shadow Blade or Bowser Jr's Cannon Ball being replaced with a small tornado).
- Palutena's basic movement gets corrupted completely, so it's unknown how much has been done for her.
- The third variant of Ness' PK Thunder strangely crashes the game. That's the only special move variant used by a non-DLC character that does such a thing.
Unused Stage Icons
Before the 1.0.8 patch that implemented the Miiverse stage, there were a few placeholder icons showing off an earlier version of the stage with thicker platforms and a darker background.
| Unused | Used (Version 1.0.8+) |
|---|---|
Unused Files and Text
Dummy Trophy Texture
A generic placeholder texture found in the "util" ("stc_fig_blur_shadow_set") file, grouped together with the trophies and isolated to its own file. The name implies it was a placeholder spectral texture of some sort.
Empty 3DS Stages
Directories for two stages from the 3DS version are present with the rest of the stages: Mushroomy Kingdom (XMarioPast) and 3D Land (3DLand). The only file remaining in each directory is the item parameter file.
Nearly Empty Sound Priority Files
soundprioritytable_fighter soundprioritytable_minigame
These nearly empty sound priority files, which are normally used to adjust music frequency of stages and the menu, point to an earlier build in which the music of other things could be adjusted. "sound_prioritytable_minigame" suggests that it could have been possible to adjust the frequency of certain songs with the various minigames (Target Blast, Home Run Contest, Trophy Rush) at some point. The exact nature of soundprioritytable_fighter is unknown.
Empty Sound Effects
snd_se_joucyu_00000000.idsp snd_se_item_add_00000000_001.idsp snd_se_narration_menu_00000000.idsp snd_se_stageedit_00000000.idsp
Empty sound effects. Their filenames suggest certain points of interest, but their exact uses are unknown.
With the exception of the narration_menu, these sound effects were probably used throughout development. "joucyu" might be "常駐" in Japanese, which would make it a sound effect for a terminate and stay resident program.
Unused Boss Character Art
Virus
Out of all the unused boss character art, these are the most interesting. The Virus characters from the Dr. Mario series were apparently set to appear as bosses for a scrapped Dr. Mario-themed stage, which was sadly cut and left the Doc with no place to call home. The Viruses do appear as a Trophy, however, and this art does reuse the render.
Others
Within the files for the character select screen art are the bosses. What use they exactly served during development is a mystery, but they're there. Metal Face seems to be in a T-Pose, and all of the Master Core forms are present, including the Core itself.
Icons for the in-game health HUD. The other bosses use cropped versions of the portraits above, but these 3 are of interest. Master Core's icons do get used in the 3DS version, but barely.
The only unused icons on the roster itself: Master Hand, Crazy Hand, and the two as a team. There is also one for the Master Core.
Stock icons to go along nicely with the respective enemies. KOing Meta Ridley in Pyrosphere will simply have him revert to his normal form therefore making use of his default Brawl stock icon for some reason. Getting KO credit for defeating Metal Face was a feature cut late in the game, as a tip exists stating that whoever finishes him off gets credit for the kill. Virus' placeholder icon uses Kirby's from a earlier version of the game where he has his mouth open, but in the final he is simply smiling. There also exists some Mii heads, one for each gender.
They were used in an early E3 demo of Smash Bros.
Emblem References
ui_mark_db has multiple emblem references which are not used in either the 3DS or Wii U version. The first is rhythm, which is organized with the fighters. The second is Diary, which is organized with stage. Rhythm seems to refer to a character from the Rhythm Heaven series, and Diary may refer to a Swapnote stage. When examining the emblem texture files, it appears that the files were removed.
Other references are plankton and brainage. The former is removed, but brainage can be found.
The filename is mark_30_braintraining.nut. It's unknown whether these potential stages were planned for the 3DS or the Wii U versions of the game, as ui_mark_db has references to emblems that only appear in the 3DS version.
Extra Trophy Categories
There are four trophy categories that would probably appear in the Series Order:
Ice Climbers Touch! Generations nintendogs Tomodachi Life
There is one trophy category that would appear in the Category Order:
Smash Tour
ui\replace\category\ctg_10\ctg_10_Ws.nut is the location of this icon.
The 3DS version also had trophy categories that were unused in its version. However, these trophy categories were later found to be series that had some sort of representation in the Wii U version.
Unused Masterpiece
| Please elaborate. Having more detail is always a good thing. Specifically: What's in it? Anything to see with a hex editor? |
Based on the name of the file (SSB4\ui\replace\soft\soft_50\soft_50_SuperSmashBros.nut), it would seem that a Masterpiece of Super Smash Bros. was planned at some point. This would have been the only N64 game to be available in the Masterpiece section. The game came out before the Wii U eShop actually had N64 emulation, likely explaining why it was scrapped.
Unused Text
Unlocked the Gamer stage! Beware the mother's gaze! Unlocked the Temple stage! Time to fight way above the clouds!
It seems that Gamer and Temple were unlockable stages at one point.
Unused Model Features
| To do: Xenoblade trophies (Fiora, Mumkhar, Sharla, Melia, etc.) all have their gameplay textures unused, but included in the model. |
Skull Kid
The model for the Assist Trophy Skull Kid has various features that aren't used in any way. His face, complete with a modeled beak, is still present under the mask. There is even texture space dedicated to it, located in the bottom right corner of the model's texture.
In the top-right corner of the texture is texturing for a pipe instrument, much like the one used by the generic Skull Kids in Ocarina of Time. The Assist Trophy does not use any sort of instrument, as the assist trophy is based on the Skull Kid from Majora's Mask.
The eyes on Majora's Mask are rigged to the base hat bone rather than the head bone like the rest of the mask.
Falcon's Face
Most of Captain Falcon's face texture is used. However, it does contain some unused mapping for his eyes, ears, and brow – they're also included on the normal map, naturally. Behold his confused expression.
This mapping is a remnant of an earlier version of Falcon's head, where they modeled his complete face. In the final model, they ended up deleting the face geometry covered up by his helmet for efficiency reasons.
King Dedede Textures
An early Dedede texture that was edited from his Brawl one. Some of the painted-on shading has been edited out, making leeway for a normal map to do more of the work. It was also darkened and hue shifted.
It eventually became the final, seen to the right. Like the other Character textures, all the details and shading are provided via other maps.
Roll's Undergarments
| To do: Insert image here(?) |
Roll's undergarments are modeled and textured, but are censored in the final game for obvious reasons. For contrast, Peach's are censored even in the texture, while Roll's are not.
Blue Falcon Image
Hidden in the alpha channel of one of the Blue Falcon's textures is... a picture of the Blue Falcon. The particular image used is one of the official renders from F-Zero GX.
Prince of Sablé's Blade
If you look at the Prince Sablé's side, you'll notice he carries a sheathed sword. He doesn't actually pull it out for any of his attacks, since he only uses his Frog and Snake forms. Despite this, the sword's whole blade is modeled - it's hidden behind his sheath.
Its design is consistent with how it looks in Prince Sablé's official artwork, with the triangle shape at its base.
Wonderful 101 Trophy Textures
All of The Wonderful 101 Trophies use textures lifted straight from their game of origin, meaning that their real eyes are still present under their masks. In addition to the eyes present on the face texture, everyone except Wonder Red and Wonder Yellow have textures and meshes for their real eyes (and even then, Wonder Red's eyes are completely blank), but there is no way to see them in the trophy viewer. One of the textures for Wonder Green's gun includes an alternate facial expression for him, which goes completely unused.
Unused Stage Features
Gaur Plain
Part of the mountain on the left side of the stage continues under the ground. Impossible to see in normal gameplay.
GAMER
One of the stage formations strangely has a sticker texture hidden in one of the platforms. Once again, impossible to see in normal gameplay.
Mario Circuit
Mario Circuit has textures for a Toad kart, but only Shy Guys appear in the stage. The model itself is a satellite dish.
Mario Galaxy
| To do: Picture. |
The insides of the Starshrooms have a fully textured and modeled interior, but they can not be seen normally without camera clipping.
The Great Cave Offensive
| Normally Seen | Underneath the Lava |
|---|---|
There is a floor underneath one of the lava waves, but it is never uncovered. Additionally, one of the crystal bunches continues through a wall, which can't be seen either.
Regional Differences
To do:
|
R.O.B.
Like his appearance in Mario Kart DS, R.O.B.'s default color scheme changes based on the region of the game: his Famicom colors in Japan, and his NES colors in North America. In Brawl, his Famicom palette was the default in all regions.
| Japan | US |
|---|---|
His trophies and costume orders have also been changed accordingly. Other icons, such as his icon on tickets in Special Orders, remain unchanged.
Character Names
Some of the characters have a different name depending on the version.

- The character "Duck Hunt" is renamed as "Duck Hunt Duo" in European releases.
- In Japanese language, the announcer pronounces Lucina with a hard C instead of a soft C.
- Olimar and Alph are referred to as "Pikmin & Olimar/Alph" in the Japanese versions, but drop the Pikmin from their names elsewhere. The official site still has "Pikmin" in their names in all languages.
- The Spanish announcer (the Latin America version) pronounces Pikachu "peekuh-choo", accentuating the "chu" syllable.
Boxing Ring Titles
| To do: Japanese boxing ring titles also need to be added, also find more for other characters. |
Some of the characters had different Boxing Ring titles for each region.

Music Tracks
Some of the track names for music have different names in the European version, most of which add game names in brackets and/or are changed simply because the games they were originally from had different names when they were localized.

Palutena's Guidance
Palutena's Guidance is, for the most part, the same between the American and European versions of the game. However, Duck Hunt and the Koopalings have a slightly different guidance.
The Koopalings are called "Bowser's Minions" in Europe.
| To do: Get European-version rips to compare. |
| US | Europe |
|---|---|
The Duck Hunt pair is localized as "Duck Hunt" in America and "Duck Hunt Duo" in Europe. Pit and Palutena have slightly different conversations as a result of this.
Miscellaneous Differences
In addition to the usual localization changes to accommodate games and characters receiving different names in different regions, a few other differences can be spotted:
- Both the male and female Wii Fit Trainers have British voice actors in UK releases of the game, likely to fit in with the way the Wii Fit games were localized. Other European countries also adapt this change, although obviously with their own respective languages. Due to what appears to be an oversight, the male trainer's British actor can occasionally be heard on the Wii Fit Studio stage in the American release.
- Kirby has different voice clips when he copies Palutena and Shulk's neutral special moves to accommodate for the new translations, a rarity in the series as they usually go untranslated. However, his voice for Jigglypuff goes untranslated yet again.
- Trophy descriptions display significant differences on the whole, even between different English releases. Notably, the European version of the Lip's Stick trophy incorrectly identifies it as originating in Tetris Attack instead of Panel de Pon.
- Just like in previous games, metric units are changed to imperial units in the North American version. Since all internal data remains in metric, several challenges have unusual-looking requirements, such as "Hit Sandbag 3280 feet" (1000m).
- The order that playable demos are listed in Masterpieces is different in every version according to the original games' release dates. The North American version lists the release year and month for each game, but the European version lists only the year.
- The stat distribution titles have the same names and regional differences as they do on the 3DS version, including the fancy Portuguese and Spanish ones.
- The Japanese version of the game has a Masterpiece demo of Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light. Since the game was never released internationally, it was obviously removed from all other versions.
- The voice clips in the Sound Test in the Japanese version have a subtitle that indicates who provided them in the sidebar. Apparently Nintendo of America and Nintendo of Europe didn't want to do the work of matching the roles of the dubbed characters, so it was removed in international versions.
Ashley's Theme Ver. 2
The Japanese version features a new remix of Ashley's Song which is used in place of the English version of the Brawl remix.
Mewtwo's Japanese
As in Melee, Mewtwo's Japanese quotes were not translated for the European and American versions, and were instead removed entirely.
Revisional Differences

Yes, that version number is correct - the Wii U version was updated to match the 3DS version number. This update was distributed on April 15, 2015, and is required in order to play online. Replay data created in previous versions will no longer be viewable.
- Adds support for DLC, with a link to the eShop added alongside the Notifications tab. Additionally, data for Mewtwo is added, and can be used by purchasing the Mewtwo DLC.
- Implements data sharing in-game and via Miiverse.
- Five 8-Player Smash stages are given Omega variants: Delfino Plaza, Port Town Aero Dive, Wooly World, Orbital Gate Assault, and Pilotwings. Wii Fit Studio is listed a second time in the official patch notes; the reason for this is currently unknown.
- Adjustments are made to the characters in order to balance gameplay (full list of confirmed changes here).
Mewtwo DLC
The Mewtwo DLC not only adds the character as a fighter and as an opponent in the various game modes, but also adds three trophies that cannot be obtained without the DLC: A new Mewtwo trophy (which has the exact same name and does not take the place of the old one), a Mewtwo (Alt.) trophy, and a trophy for Mewtwo's Final Smash, Psystrike. The DLC also adds Mewtwo-related Tips.
Version 1.0.7
This patch was released on April 24, 2015.

Lucas DLC
The Lucas DLC not only adds the character as a fighter and as an opponent in the various game modes, but also adds three trophies that cannot be obtained without the DLC: a new Lucas trophy (which has the exact same name and does not take the place of the old one), a Lucas (Alt.) trophy, and a trophy for Lucas's Final Smash, PK Starstorm. The DLC also adds Lucas-related Tips.
Roy DLC
The Roy DLC not only adds the character as a fighter and as an opponent in the various game modes, but also adds three trophies that cannot be obtained without the DLC: a Roy trophy, a Roy (Alt.) trophy, and a trophy for Roy's Final Smash, Critical Hit. The DLC also adds Roy-related Tips.
