Unused graphics

Image	Name	Filename	Description
	Switch Controller Connection	\moria\baked\art\ui\coliseum\placeholder_joycon_applet.dds	An image of the Nintendo Switch controller connection UI. Behind the image are multiple lines of NX, which was the original codename for Nintendo Switch.
	Missing Texture	textures\missing.dds	A placeholder that reads "Missing Texture".
	Moria Logo	\moria\baked\art\ui\boot\snowdrop.dds	A texture that's most likely a game bootup splash screen past the main logos, it also has a black background right behind it.
	Nintendo Logo	moria\baked\art\ui\boot\nintendo.dds	A somewhat poorly drawn Nintendo logo followed by a white background behind it. It almost has somewhat of a similar style to the logos in Kirby's Dreamland 3.
	Ubisoft Logo	moria\baked\art\ui\boot\ubisoft.dds	A more colorful version of the Ubisoft logo, with a black background right behind it.
	Plunger	moria\baked\art\ui\cursors\cursor_default.tga	An extremely tiny plunger that was most likely used a mouse cursor for an internal PC version of the game, with a white background present right behind it.
	Fake Collision Box	moria/baked/Art/Environments/zPlaceholder/fakecollision_ang_d.dds	An icon for a fake collision box, as obviously said in the image.
	Slide	N/A	A simple drawing of a Slide.
	Tool Icons	N/A	A portion of tool icons are mentioned in the fighter settings scripts. However, they seem to have been removed from the final game. Luckily, DLC 4 left a number of them along with five of it's own. However, the textures are notably to be extremely small.

Unused model

An early base design for the Lava Queen (known as chr_enm_bwapeach_tpose_01) can be found the game's files under moria\sdf\nx\data\moria\baked\art\animation\01-chr\03-enm\bwapeach. The model features different hair. compared to the one used from the final Lava Queen design, and lacks many of the Lava Queen's defining features,. Some of them being her helmet, cape, and gloves.

Unused music

The Phantom's song in this game has three verses in the game's files, but only the first and third are used in the final game. The second one has the Phantom sing about how Mario and co's attacks are ineffective against him and was presumably going to play before the party figured out his weakness in the boss battle. In a past interview by Grant Kirkhope (the game's composer), the second verse was scrapped because of the developers not having the time to animate it in-game.

Unused code

file PVP ./spawnlocations/pvp-spawnlocations.juice

Present in the base game is a call loading a spawn location file for PVP, which was later added in a semi-recent update. This could most likely have indicate that Ubisoft was internally working on the PVP mode since Day One.

Leftover data

Many files mention rouge and directories, which is the internal name for Tom Clancy's The Division. This likely indicates that Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle was built off a build of that game.
