The following pages exist with information about unused content:
===Debug menu===
A menu written in Japanese with several debugging features is present in the game. Each option has a value, and pressing the A button will activate the option, with the specified value. The options, in order, display the following:
*Title screen. 0 means the Challenge Mode option won't be visible. 1 means that option is present.
*A set of [[Olimar's Voyage Log|Voyage Log entries]]. Set #19 is untranslated for some reason.
*Save game screen. Its value doesn't seem to do anything.
*A weird screen, possibly used to test, sprites, effects and buttons.
*Memory card warnings. 0 and 1 don't do anything, 2 warns that the card cannot be used. 4 warns that it must be formatted.
*Ship log selection screen.
*Unlocked Voyage Logs. Acts weirdly.
*End of day screen.
*Pause menus. 0 is during a regular adventure, 1 is during challenge mode.
*Final statistics.
*Title screen without background.

====Enemy Reel====
Unused content in {{pb}} changes periodically as new [[update]]s add, remove, or reuse content inside the game files. In addition, such content is strongly protected by copyright laws. For these reasons, there is no article documenting unused content in ''Pikmin Bloom''.
The [[Enemy Reel]] shows some enemies in places where they can't be found in the final game, as well as areas that look a bit different. The Enemy Reel was probably recorded before some of the levels' layouts changed.
*The [[Goolix]] appears in [[The Forest Navel]]
*The [[Mamuta]] appears in [[The Distant Spring]]
*The [[Extraordinary Bolt]] along with the [[Positron Generator]] appears in the backround of [[The Distant Spring]]

Additionally, the [[Swooping Snitchbug]] entry appears after the [[Fiery Blowhog]]. Seeing as the reel is otherwise organized alphabetically, this could mean that the original plans for the Swooping Snitchbug's name were "Flying Snitchbug", or something similar.
