My guess for all the cat-people stuff, since it was added in after Super Paper Mario's initial release, is that they were assets for an entirely separate game being worked on using SPM's game engine, but ultimately cancelled. It's a shame, too; it looks very cute, and I would've loved to see it come to fruition, whatever it may have been.
The strange part is though, they're only in the Korean version. My guess is that IS just lazily ported the latest version of SPM to Nintendo Of Korea without checking it's files or anything.
Maybe a bit of a conspiracy theory, but I think it tells a bit of a story along with the massive changes that came to the Paper Mario series next. TTYD actually apparently was apparently a bit of a fight to get through, and they had to constantly work with Miyamoto presenting new ideas (namely, coincidentally, the paper stuff is what convinced him it was innovative enough). Then they say that they probably would never really return to the TTYD style for the series after SPM, which COINCDENTALLY is also totally, completely different and full of new gimmicks and innovation they could advertise, like it being a 2D sidescroller now and the 2D-3D thing especially. And then a few days after its release, they begin work on a new game, seemingly totally separate from the Mario IP, that uses the same engine as SPM and TTYD, and is made in a very Paper Mario-like way using the same camera tricks and 2D characters in a 3D world.. I think this is the story of some "official" paper mario spiritual successor that was gonna be made since they couldn't do what they wanted to do with the Mario series anymore, almost like if Bug Fables was cats instead and made by the actual Paper Mario devs. But then, for whatever reason, it was cancelled. Honestly quite sad.
The unused Yold Town residents look similar to Mimi. They (besides the yellow one) all look at the screen, have stick figure limbs, a square head with a gradient color that gets lighter at the forehead, and simple face with cheeks. The girl also has a bow similar to Mimi’s. From the one with animations and from the prerelease screenshots we can se that their idle and talking animations were mostly identical to Mimi’s. Perhaps the Yold Town residents were leftovers from when every character looked like this, and they changed the character style later. The must have decided they liked Mimi’s old design and kept it anyway.
The cut Yold Town residents actually do still have animations in their files, they just use pointers that don't match those of the NPCs they replace in the footage from Skawo's video. If you edit them to match, the animations work (I tested this). Also, Dimentio has a walking animation that goes unused since he never walks in any cutscene or battle. (I did make use of it in my mod that makes him playable though)
With the varying styles of Cats and the stitched environment it gives me the feeling that it was based on a storybook-esque setting. My head's rushing with possible plots for it...
I seriously love Super Paper Mario, the villians really make this game shine. I actually listen to the unused music by itself often, its really good stuff! Thank you for going more in depth with the cut content!
Super Paper Mario: a strange game with even stranger cut content. To be honest, i never really got used to this game but it's very interesting to see when didn't get used. Awsome job, as always.
I would've loved to see what that game Intelligent Studios was working on. As of now, it's practically a blank canvas, but I would've loved to see what direction they were going with it.
I think they planned something like a TTYD 2 and pretty early in development decided to switch to Super Paper Mario’s style, but the first area they tried to make as “cat world” got left over. Just an idea.

_Yo, IS, can I get uh, flipping,_ *_uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..._* _Cat RPG?_
The cats were probably just the artists creating test avatars for themselves for playtesting levels. It was probably just for fun. Thats why theyre all different styles -- all different artists doing their own thing, since the style didn't matter as they weren't staying in the game. The later cat may have been created by an artist who wasn't in on the original "joke/game," then put his cat in a couple levels he was mocking up. That'd be my guess.
Except for the fact that these "test avatars" were removed from the game for the north american and european versions, then added back in the south korean version. Also, they don't seem to have any moving parts at all. You can't test Mario's animations when you don't even have anything to map them to. I think the idea of testing the artstyles makes more sensem
My assumption on why this was left over is that they were Concept making / Prototyping with a build of SPM's engine on the Wii, and they were scheduled for a Korean Release so they threw back in the HD Paper Mario assets with Korean translations and forgot to delete their idea work. My guess also is that this pitch never went through and this is pretty much a declined Pitch concept that was leftover as they added Korean Subtitles with the build they had on them. Edit : The uploader hearted it but Editing it causes it to disappear. 10/10, great job UA-cam.
"Number 4 is [...] much bigger than anything seen in Paper Mario." I don't need it... "Colorful branching paths go all the way around the map..." I don't need it... "A group of 4 cats standing on two legs are in this level." I definitely don't need it... "On the same day, a white cat was created..." I don't need it... "The final three levels [...] feature the white cat mentioned earlier." I don't need it... "In the model, the group that the white cat is in is called 'player.' This means that this cat [...] would be the protagonist." ... *I NEEEEEEED IIIIIIT!*
My guess is that there was going to be a Wii Ware release of another Paper Mario game straight after development of the game was wrapped up and that it would go back to the 3D style but they decided that it would just be a waste of time since it would only be a downloadable game.
I REALLY wanna see the game these cats were gonna be in... I feel like Intelligent Systems was constantly getting really cool ideas vetoed around this time period
I really want to play this game, also good job on making another high quality informative video, you really deserve the amount of attention as Did you know gaming
@@shadex5340 yeah most people dismissed it because it was missing turn based mechanics. Its still a charming game the part with Squirps and his mother, the scene with Luvbi and her parents, and the Count Bleck story are really touching. The soundtrack is also lit too. The one that deserves to be dismissed (but not entirely) is Color Splash its too monotonous with the enemies and NPCs. I bought Super Paper Mario twice because I regretted trading it in the first time, and Honestly I feel like it is a worthy successor to Paper Mario TTYD.
I like to think that all of the cat stuff was just intelligent systems doing some quick testing and design revisions and using the super paper Mario development environment for the sake of speed. Along the way they left these files in the repo given to the localization crew, and then the localization crew left this in by mistake. It reminds me of how a large chunk of the gigaleak was just copies of Nintendo development repos given to iQue for localization purposes.
I didn't know people still looked at this game, and I am glad it is still a thing. This is my first Paper Mario game, and to me, probably the best. Because now it's just more RPG styled, which gives a big sensation of Déjà Vu... Thanks for this video, I really enjoyed seeing some of this unused stuff. *Btw there is also an unused gigantic golden bullet bill cannon, it's basicly invincible and shoots out giant golden bullet bills.*
It seems like they were creating a sort of spin off of Paper Mario about Cats. I wonder if had they went with this Cat RPG we’d have a new Nintendo character.
Souldin of the Grin Brothers here, an I somehow stumbled upon this fascinating video. It was quite an interesting dig into unused content of the game, well and clearly told in a nicely paced time of 8 minutes. "Which tries to live up to the previous game by changing it entirely." - That pretty much sums up the main problem of Super Paper Mario. It's a good game in it's own right (well I wasn't huge on the 'game' part of the game, but my brother enjoyed it) but held back by the expectations of it's predecessors... particularly problematic when it's predecessor is one of the greatest turn based RPG's of all time. I knew the Gamecube fact regarding this game but just about everything else is entirely new to me. I love the graphical style of the two detailed cats; I wonder if we will ever learn what they were intended for. Perhaps this potential cat starring game could have been used to retain the Super Paper Mario gameplay style whilst Paper Mario returned to it's turn based roots... or vice-versa. Sadly we live in a world where neither style of Paper Mario continued and instead we got Sticker Star. 5:44 - The spinning wheel of characters would have been both cool and creepy to encounter. 6:40 - There was also a lot of neat sounds and songs gone unused. A very interesting and informative video this was; good job!
The map (with the forest) was probably a world map. It's also probably a game with NPCs, or a party of 4. It seems to be a cancelled 3D RPG early in development with a few levels intact. It has the paper feel, and had cats, but the name of the game is probably called Kat. KRI stands for Kat RPG Intelligent Systems. It's not a part of Paper Mario, since it has a different art style and the cat player is a party member (team of 4). The game is a scrapped game, and the cats were tests for art styles (which I think is the case). It would be a game with cats and forests. The cats are in a story book, and was a night story from a stuffed animal. The cats are in the forest, and meet each other. That's what I think was what the game was like. I'm not sure if I'm right or not. I will mod the game and make what Intelligent System's RPG Platformer in a forest will be like to play... Strange! 11 levels? It has a story of stitching, it is a spinoff of Paper Mario, but much different. It has powerups, items, and more. You can play as the black cat, and can be considered an NPC or a beta for a player. Probably with a front view battle system, summons, and mock powerups. You can meet cats.
just judging by the art style of those cats, i don't think they were meant to be in a paper mario game. which i think is odd, because it's saved in a localization of SPM two years after its initial release, rather than just on its own.
I'm wondering how the heck a whole unused game ended up on a release that happened 2 years later. What, were the Korean translators using the disk for their own game before scrapping it and just put Super Paper Mario's code on it as well so it would have use?
just a theory I came up with... you remember those scenes after completing each world where you can read conversations between Blumiere and Timpani, right? SPOILER WARNING: What if Tippi (Timpani) was originally planned to be one of those cat people - most likely the white one - before she got turned into the butterfly pixl? Maybe they originally planned those conversations to be playable parts where you play as Tippi in her normal form and find out about her backstory like that? Kinda like those parts in Paper Mario 2 where you can play as Peach and Bowser, but here you alternate between playing as Mario and Tippi. Maybe those other cats were supposed to be friends of her and you play through the part of her story where she first met Blumiere / Count Bleck and fell in love with him and then she had to leave the other cats behind. Damn that would actually have been very interesting to see.
Level 6 should look familiar, and maybe also 7 as they look like they're based off Forever Forest from the first Paper Mario game. My strong guess are these were probably engine prototypes (eg, how big can we make it, how deep can we make it, can we make it rotate, etc), like with the pieces of 1000 year door you find in it. The fact the cats are named after employees also adds credence to this. Perhaps what actually happened was the Korean localization team unlocked it to test the text formatting and wasn't aware these were not part of the game, having no text in them.
Maybe there was a game in development at the time, and some artist was also working on the game that was never realesed and had free time in development of super paper Mario, and made art for that. Some person saw the files, and used it in a test level
Because the areas have a different art style doesn't mean anything, because you forget every level of SPM is in another world/dimension, with their own art style, so they could work. Shame we didn't get Cat Land.
Ya but.. only in the Korean version years after the others release dates? Would makes more sense if the scrapped things were in the Japanese files.. So maybe it was some scraps of a Korea game that was some basis for the Korean port of the game
@@BaconNuke I think that Intelligent Systems in Japan was working on a new Paper Mario using Super Paper Mario as like basis and when it was time to send the game to the Koreans for them to translate the game, Intelligent Systems just sent them their most recently updated copy of the game. You know what I mean?
My guess for all the cat-people stuff, since it was added in after Super Paper Mario's initial release, is that they were assets for an entirely separate game being worked on using SPM's game engine, but ultimately cancelled. It's a shame, too; it looks very cute, and I would've loved to see it come to fruition, whatever it may have been.

Yeah, it's confusing how stuff from Intelligent Systems got onto the disk when it was likely a different company doing the translation.

The fact the cats are named after employees also adds credence to this.
Perhaps what actually happened was the Korean localization team unlocked it to test the text formatting and wasn't aware these were not part of the game, having no text in them.
No dont do that .Dont give me hope
Honestly I'd rather a new cat RPG than yet another Paper Mario.

Because the areas have a different art style doesn't mean anything, because you forget every level of SPM is in another world/dimension, with their own art style, so they could work. Shame we didn't get Cat Land.
The Korea version is so interesting! I wonder someday I could be like you! Looking for unused content.
For those Korean levels, those 2D trees and tall grass is most definitely Paper Mario-like. I honestly think it was some scrapped Paper Mario game
Ya but.. only in the Korean version years after the others release dates? Would makes more sense if the scrapped things were in the Japanese files.. So maybe it was some scraps of a Korea game that was some basis for the Korean port of the game
@@BaconNuke I think that Intelligent Systems in Japan was working on a new Paper Mario using Super Paper Mario as like basis and when it was time to send the game to the Koreans for them to translate the game, Intelligent Systems just sent them their most recently updated copy of the game. You know what I mean?
@@unmeltabledjdkrnrjdjsnd9317 Ah, ya i get it, still is odd XD
Awesome Video
5:56 I'm pretty sure that's a bow
5:57 I'm pretty sure that's a bow, now cat ears.
I really love this game ^w^❤️, thanks for the information
I would’ve loved the Cat game, too bad that it was scrapped tho.
Yes!!! Thank you!!!
The real question is, WHY DID IT TAKE THIS LONG TO DOCUMENT IT?? PEOPLE KNEW ABOUT IT
The ladder pixl was probably an old design for thoreau
There is no way the cats aren't part of a scrapped ip.
Best PM game IMO
I think maybe the cats and other stuff was for a retooling of spm for Korea, but in the end they still went with the paper Mario stuff
I'm so interested in the fact that some of this stuff was created after the game was released. Why?
Probably some stuff from a prototype of a new game that managed to work its way into this game's files.
Paper Mario looks like a high-res Super Mario World Mario
This video is in the Mario Games, Nintendo Games, and Every Episode playlist three times, but isn't in the Season 2 playlist at all? Ok sure
the ladder pixl is breadward
