Attachment At Comic Con 2012, Pen Ward, creator of Adventure Time, said when you beat the DS and 3DS game, it would play a video of him in a chair congratulating you in beating the game in a similar fashion to the Pepsi Man. However, it was never added to the game. It is presumed that it is replaced with the Konami Code secret where Pen dances.

Attachment In the Normal Test Chamber 17 there is a piece of the level that's out of bounds. It was only meant to be accessed in the Advance Test Chamber 17, which is unlocked after the game is completed. It contains a momentum test with a glass panel that has a hole in the middle. This room can be accessed with cheats by typing 'noclip' into the console. It is also possible to access the room without cheats by using the 'Portal edge Glitch' on PC or it can be accessed on console and pc using a glitch called 'Portal clipping'.

Attachment Waluigi was created by Camelot artist Fumihide Aoki during the development of Mario Tennis as a rival to Luigi. There were also talks of a Princess Peach counterpart to further expand the roster. This proposed "Warupichi" character was ultimately dismissed by Shigeru Miyamoto and Nintendo because they were hesitant about making an evil version of Princess Peach, given how she was still portrayed as innocent in earlier games. Despite this, Aoki would keep the character idea around for Mario Power Tennis, featuring another rejected design that would eventually be revealed to the public in 2023, both through unused sketches and a 3D model. In one sketch, the character wields an axe, which according to Aoki, was added to make her "cute and scary". Aoki also revealed more information through Instagram comments, like how "Warupichi" was going to be the authority figure that gave orders to Wario and Waluigi, and how he wanted to make a companion to "Warupichi" that would have been an arch-rival to Yoshi that was going to be a dragon with horns and wings. The day after revealing Warupichi and the rest of this information, Aoki deleted the original posts and locked his Instagram account.

Luigi's Mansion was built with the intention of being in 3D. All Nintendo Gamecube systems support display of Stereoscopic 3D. Nintendo decided to shift focus away from 3D at the time as a 3D screen add-on would have cost more than the Gamecube system itself.
