{{Todo|Obtain better screenshots of NamaPongashi's model and other unused objects, and document the unused behaviors of [[#Armored Cannon Larva variants|Armored Cannon Larva variant]]s. There are also unused objects that exist in the code but are not listed here.}}

{{todo|Confirm if Olimar's "happy" icon, Louie's "happy" icon, and Louie's "sad" icon are unused. Also, find out if Olimar and Louie's icons were in the game, unused, before DLC pack 3 (which features them). Also, check if the icons found in the demo of ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'' are also in the final game's files.}}

There are several unused icons for expressions from [[Olimar]], [[Louie]], and, in {{p3d}}, [[the President]]. This also includes icons that are unused in the original ''Pikmin 3'', but are used in ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe''. They are all listed here:

Additionally, there is an equally unused version of Olimar's "mad" icon, with a cropped circle in the top-left. The icon character is called <code>playerF</code> internally, where Olimar is <code>playerE</code> and the President's icons refer to him as <code>playerG</code>.

===Unused mini radar icons===

In ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'', there are several unused [[badge]] textures that appear to be placeholders, starting from 1 to 50.

There are two unused test images in ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe''{{'s}} files that have no use in-game. One shows what appears to be the [[Flower Garden]] results screen, but with two layers of white Japanese text with a red outline. The other has three squares in a format similar to the Side Stories menu, and the roughly translated paragraph mentions ''[[The Night Juicer]]'', implying this would contain the three {{psm}}. It also has the same message as the second layer of text on the first one superimposed onto it.

Some early versions of used maps can be found in the files of ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe''.

An early version of [[Garden of Hope]] can be found in ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe''{{'s}} files, as well as textures for test maps of it. The following changes can be noted:

* The environments of the [[Seesaw block#Elevator platform|elevator platform]] and [[Bug-Eyed Crawmad]] cave sections are swapped (the latter is instead outdoors, while the former is in a sewage system).

* The section containing a [[Pocked Airhead]] stretches all the way to the [[Onion|Blue Onion]] section (but is still blocked off).

* What is presumably the primary entrance to the Blue Onion section is attached to the [[Yellow Wollywog]] section with the [[Toady Bloyster]], rather than being directly attached to the landing site.

* The pathway in question also has stationary [[lily pad]]s leading to it that are absent from the final game.

* The [[Armored Mawdad]] arena's stump is attached to the main section, but the interior loads seperately.

* Because of this, the Armored Mawdad arena corridor is absent.

[[File:Early Whiptongue Bulborb.png|thumb|right|<code>arukui_old</code>.]]

In ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'', an early version of the [[Whiptongue Bulborb]] called <code>arikui_old</code> can be found in the files. It has 11 animations: <code>attack</code>, <code>attack2</code> (attacking), <code>dead</code> (dying), <code>flick</code> (shaking off Pikmin), <code>move1</code> (walking), <code>swallow</code> (swallowing), <code>type5</code> (being carried), <code>wait1</code>, <code>wait2</code>, <code>wait3</code> (idling), and <code>waitact</code> (shaking off Pikmin while idling).{{cite youtube|sZ2n_-Qg7k0|showing off the early Whiptongue Bulborb and its animations}} The following is known from its game files:

An early version of the [[Hermit Crawmad]] exists in ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe''{{'s}} files, too.

[[File:P3D green blowhog.png|thumb|right|The unused green variant of the [[Fiery Blowhog]].]]

[[File:Kakureimo 1.png|thumb|right|<code>kakureimo</code>.]]

<code>kakureimo</code> is a fat leech-like enemy. It has a purple body, yellow stomach along with yellow back stripes, and three green eyes on each side of its small head. Its mouth is circular and filled with jagged teeth, and it has two large antennae on its head. Size-wise, it's around the size of a [[Red Bulborb]]. {{j|隠れ|kakure}} is the stem of the verb {{j|隠れる|kakureru}} which means "to hide", and {{j|いも|imo}} translates to "potato", although it is also part of the word {{j|イモムシ|imomushi|caterpillar|f=tp}}.

When it spawns, it pops out from underneath the ground. When there are no Pikmin or leaders nearby, it waddles around to explore a small area immediately outside of its "home" , but if one gets into view, it becomes alarmed and dashes to its original spot, where it burrows underground. After being left alone for a bit, it will reemerge and repeat the cycle. Given unknown rules, it may decide to stay underground until it's left alone, or it will cautiously poke its head out to survey the area. When it burrows, its health is entirely restored. Other than that, some parts of the enemy are unfinished, in that it has no particle effects, some animations are a bit jerky, and parts of its logic are missing, in that Pikmin can latch on to it while it buries and continue to attack it, even through the ground.{{cite youtube|REufQDiAu58|of the ''kakureimo'' in action}}

[[File:Pikmin 3 Ravenous Whiskerpillar.png|thumb|right|<code>moguraimo</code>.]]

This creature bears a strong resemblance to the [[Ravenous Whiskerpillar]] from ''Pikmin 2''. The internal name, however, is quite different: it used to be <code>imomushi</code> ({{j|イモムシ|imomushi|caterpillar|f=tp}}), but is now <code>moguraimo</code> ({{j|モグライモ|mogura imo|mole potato|f=tp}}). Appearance-wise, it is slightly larger than before, and unless the texture mapping of the model is incorrect, its skin is mostly purple; besides that, its eyes are slightly larger, it has antennae, and its namesake whiskers are gone. In terms of behavior, it acts exactly the same as the ''[[#kakureimo|kakureimo]]''.{{cite youtube|GZHcc8mZKHA|of the ''moguraimo'' in action}} Given how it acts the same as the ''kakureimo'', has a similar name to it, and sports a similar color scheme, it's safe to say that the two creatures are somehow related. However, due to its striking resemblance to an already-existing enemy, the model may just be a placeholder. The following can be observed from the game's files:

[[File:Crystal Wollywog.png|thumb|right|<code>crystal_maro_frog</code>.]]

Data for a brown version of the standard [[Wollywog]] exists, but with a rock attached to its body. Its internal name is <code>crystal_maro_frog</code> ("Crystal Wollywog"), which implies that the rock is made of [[crystal]]. It is uncertain where exactly the rock or crystal would be attached to its body. Besides the coloring, it looks roughly the same as the ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' Wollywog. The following can be observed from the files:

[[File:Pikmin 3 unused Beady Long Legs.png|thumb|right|<code>iwadama</code>.]]

There is a model for the [[Beady Long Legs]] as it appears in ''Pikmin 2'', size included, but its circular head is replaced with a large version of one of its feet. Presumably, it would've stomped on the ground using its head as well. With the model are two textures, which are the same as the ''Pikmin 2'' one, but one is tinted blue and the other pink. On the image shown to the right, the ''Pikmin 2'' texture was used for clarity. This creature's internal name is <code>iwadama</code>, meaning "rock orb". The Beady Long Leg's old internal name, <code>damagumo</code>, is now being used for the [[Shaggy Long Legs]]. The following can be noted from the game files:

[[File:Pikmin 3 unused Male Sheargrub.png|thumb|right|<code>buriko</code>.]]

A fat variant of a [[Male Sheargrub]], around roughly the same size, too. It resembles a tick, and in a sense, the [[Ujadani]]. The texture that comes with the model is the same as the one in ''Pikmin 2''. The internal name is <code>buriko</code>, and the used Male Sheargrub's name is <code>ujinko_b</code>, whereas it used to be <code>ujib</code> in ''Pikmin 2''. It moves very quickly, and because of this, it has a hard time catching and eating Pikmin. It cannot damage leaders, and cannot get damaged.{{cite youtube|w3WN4wcm9S8|of the Wollywog, Emperor Bulblax, and ''buriko'' in action|rname=BEW video}} Its color mapping isn't set up correctly, so it appears orange when alive, and turns white and purple if defeated with a bomb rock.{{cite youtube|SEbcShTxrxU|of the ''kakureimo'', the ''moguraimo'', Emperor Bulblax and ''buriko'' in action}} From examining the game's files, the following can also be noted:

In addition, the unknown and mostly-empty <code>kokgamiegg</code> "enemy" seems to have been made on accident, created instead of the used <code>kokagamiegg</code> (the [[Phosbat Pod]]), and <code>tuyukusa</code> is a mostly broken and smaller version of <code>tsuyukusa</code> but written using a different romanization system, the [[Burgeoning Spiderwort]]. Finally, the fire geyser has parameter files for a <code>bubble</code> and a <code>gas</code> variant, suggesting the planned return of [[gas pipe]]s and the addition of water geyser-like hazard obstacles.

The file <code>/content/CMCmn/system/param_db.szs/generatorsave_db.txt</code> has what appear to be respawn day paramaters for the game's objects. Inside the list, one can find the entries <code>GasHiba</code>, which is what the [[gas pipe]]s in ''Pikmin 2'' are internally called, <code>MureBuka</code>, possibly an earlier name for the [[Scornet]] (who in the final version have the internal name <code>Mure</code>) meaning "swarm subordinate", and <code>Tamagumo</code>, an alternative spelling of <code>Damagumo</code>, which is also present in the file.

*The [[Astringent Clump]] has a value of {{pokos|100|y}} (used in ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'').

*The [[Velvety Dreamdrop]] has a value of {{pokos|100|y}}.

Several songs exist inside the releases of ''Pikmin 3'', but are unused.

* There is also a presumably unused mix for the [[Music in Pikmin 3#Boss battle|boss battle theme]]{{cite youtube|GaBJ2C7Am6E|m=14|s=12|explaining ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'' boss music, including the unknown cue.}} with less instruments.

* Similarly, in ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'', an unused cue for the [[Music in Pikmin 3#Golden arachnorb battle theme|golden arachnorb battle theme]] is in the files.{{cite youtube|HGHwIdT5bdQ|of the golden arachnorb theme, with the unknown theme being mentioned in its description.}}

Much like in the [[Pikmin (game)|first game]], each [[Onion]] was to be found dormant, and had their own "boot up" [[cutscene]].

* There is an unique, unused [[Candypop family|Candypop Bud]]-like object named <code>NamaPongashi</code>. It is purple when closed but white when open, and its model derives from the ''Pikmin 2'' Candypop Buds, but with black sharp tips at the ends of the petals.{{cite youtube|bl7r63NFeFU|of unused objects|rname=BielR3 video}} {{j|生|nama}} means "raw" or "unprocessed", which indicates that this is probably the base object that all Candypop Buds were meant to derive from. When Pikmin are thrown in, they die, but new seeds do not come out. After five are thrown in, it stops working.

* [[Gas pipe]]s were meant to return, as per the object called <code>GasHiba</code>. Like in ''Pikmin 2'', only [[White Pikmin]] can survive the poison.{{cite youtube|rname=BielR3 video}}

* There is an object called <code>dragonball</code>, that was likely used to test textures. One half of it is red with white spots, like the [[Red Bulborb|Bulborb]] or [[Dwarf Red Bulborb|Dwarf Bulborb]], while the other is white with blue spots, like the [[Hairy Bulborb]] or [[Snow Bulborb]]. This is interesting, since the Hairy and Snow Bulborb are absent from this game.

* There is akso an early version of the [[Onion#Rock Onion|Rock Onion]] in ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'', that looks highly similar to the [[Onion]]s in ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 2''.
