Whacka has an entry in the enemy name table and a tattle. Based on the tattle, it seems that earlier in development, instead of disappearing after being hit enough times, he would attack.

This concept was eventually implemented for the Nintendo Switch remake of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. Spoiler:If Mario hits Whacka at Keelhaul Key until he flees and revisits the Pit of 100 Trials after defeating Bonetail, Whacka will appear as an optional superboss on the final floor. True to his unused tattle in the N64 game, Mario must hit him in order to begin the fight.
