*A file inferred to be part of controlling menu and display elements for the Subspace Emissary contains an unused display element, labelled "InfAdvLevel0000", which appears to display a level number and a bar labelled "pp" which is animated from full to empty in 50 frames. Based on other filenames its purpose appears to have been to display a level number before beginning the stage.

*There is unused collection of character portraits can be found in nearly every one of the Great Maze shadow character battle rooms under the name bossmae01_2.

**Most of the characters are just in a neutral pose, looking off in one direction or another, but Link, Kirby, Pikachu and Solid Snake are using their E3 2006 portraits, Lucas is in his default T-pose and Mr. Game & Watch is using his Melee artwork. Sonic, Jigglypuff, Toon Link and Wolf are notably absent due to their later inclusion the the ~~game~~.

***Aside from Rayquaza, all of the bosses don't use their official artwork from Brawl. Petey Piranha uses a render from Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour, Meta Ridley uses concept art from Metroid Prime, Ridley uses his artwork for Super Metroid, and Porky uses the original sprite from Mother 3. Both Galleon and Duon appear to use what is likely part of their official character design sheet, with Duon completely lacking shading.

*Text in the game's ISO indicates an online "beat-em up" mode referred to as "Slipspace" was planned, but for whatever reason cut from the game. Its name, as well as the surviving text around it, implies that it may have been intended to function as a continuous match, in which players could drop in and out of to be replaced by other players. The coding is very much primitive, with no existing servers in place, rendering it totally unplayable. Additionally, the mode is limited to "With Anyone", with no coding pertaining to a "With Friends" variant, and the flavor text in the friend's lobby uses the text for Home-Run Contest. The timer shown below can be toggled from 1 to 60 minutes.

** In addition to the Slipspace mode documented above, every 1-Player mode, including Event Matches, Training, Break the Targets, All-Star and Boss Battles, can be selected as an available option online, but none of them function correctly. For most of these, it is unlikely that they were ever planned to be allowed online, and were merely implemented as such to safeguard against crashing. Surprisingly, however, the online variant of Boss Battles appears to have been worked on quite considerably, with toggleable difficulty settings and a Co-Op High Score implemented, implying that it was a rather late omission from the game. <ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLjAxUWXxGU</ref>

*2 unused Subspace Emissary cutscenes can be found in the ISO, but they're just heavily corrupted duplicates of the "Snake's Cardboard Box" and the "Lucario Discovers Snake" cutscenes in that order. They occur immediately after those respective cutscenes in memory, and have the filenames "13-00_end" and "33-01_end" (the non-corrupted cutscenes have the same filenames, only without "_end" in the titles). <ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8Asn0cmFLA</ref>
