A texture for the preliminary layout of the world map is in <code>/new_screen/jpn/worldmap.szs</code>.

There is a dummy texture in the [[Waterwraith]]'s model. Its look is created with frame buffer shaders, meaning that this underlying texture is not usually seen. | There is a dummy texture in the [[Waterwraith]]'s model.

There is a single unused level in ''Pikmin 2'', titled [[newtest]]. It has a Piklopedia version in another file, which is missing the section of the map with footstep sounds. It has multiple unused layouts in <code>/user/Abe/map/newtest/nonloop</code>, three of which specify enemies that are planned to spawn in certain areas, as dictated by a "readme" file found in the same directory. It seems to be a test map, based on its title and its contents, which include organized slopes, water, and clusters of enemies and objects. It overall has a basic, flat garden environment similar to the [[Perplexing Pool]]. | There is a single unused level in ''Pikmin 2'', titled [[newtest]].

A unused <code>readme.txt</code> found in <code>/user/Abe/map/newtest/nonloop</code> indicates that the layout files for [[newtest]] found in the same directory as the file likely specify which enemies are to spawn in certain areas. | |||
Curiously, <code>2-2.txt</code> specifies that an enemy with the ID of <code>39</code> would spawn in the [[Awakening Wood]]. Attempting to spawn the enemy with the ID of 39 crashes the game, as it does not exist. Additionally, the file for the [[Perplexing Pool]], <code>3-3.txt</code> is absent. All of the objects placed in these layouts are in sloppy rows, so they are not early layouts of areas. It is unclear which of the enemies listed spawned in caves or the overworld. | Curiously, <code>2-2.txt</code> specifies that an enemy with the ID of <code>39</code> would spawn in the [[Awakening Wood]].

Of special note is the last sublevel of the [[Dream Den]], which can actually show randomization in the sublevel visuals, since there are two different dead-end units that can be used for that sublevel. Normally, all of the player's attention gets diverted to defeating the [[Titan Dweevil]], carrying back the treasures, and exiting the cave, instead of the type of dead-end unit used when the sublevel was generated. | Of special note is the last sublevel of the [[Dream Den]], which can actually show randomization in the sublevel visuals, since there are two different dead-end units that can be used for that sublevel.

* The game files state that the skyboxes used for the 8th sublevel of the [[Dream Den]], all sublevels of the [[Hot House]], and [[Collector's Room]] is a skybox called "vrbox". "vrbox" is not a valid skybox, but is the name of the folder containing all the skybox models. Additionally, all levels of the [[Green Hole]] use a skybox known as "f010". Since "vrbox" and "f010" do not exist, the game uses no skybox as a result. | * The game files state that the skyboxes used for the 8th sublevel of the [[Dream Den]], all sublevels of the [[Hot House]], and [[Collector's Room]] is a skybox called "vrbox".

* There's a texture of what appears to be the top of a drain pipe clogged with grease surrounded by tile textures. This texture is located under the [[Shower Room]]'s entrance, but it cannot be fully seen because the cave entrance covers most of the texture. It can be seen in the Piklopedia in the same spot, but even then it's obscured and distorted by a water texture and the Piklopedia's bloom filter; not to mention that the level model is actually [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 2)#Areas|an almost completely different model]]. | |||

* There is a unused feature for [[electrical wire]]s in [[2-Player Battle]] to change color and element based on the Pikmin attacking it; Red Pikmin turn the electric wire's lighting red and set Blue Pikmin on fire, while Blue Pikmin turn the electric wire's lighting blue and apply the drowning effect to Red Pikmin.

* In ''Pikmin'', there is an unused feature that makes Pikmin get [[throw]]n higher the longer the Pikmin is held. This feature has no effect on gameplay since the normal height values and the "fully charged" height values are the same.

** Interestingly, <code>82</code> appears after all of the ID numbers for the specific Candypop Buds, which are numbers <code>3</code> through <code>8</code>.

Additionally, the enemy that has the ID of <code>39</code> is set to spawn in a unused layout file for [[newtest]] and is referred to as "{{j|フエフキムシ|Fuefukimushi|Flute Player Bug}}" in comments, which is similar to the [[Antenna Beetle]]'s internal name.
