** A spooky {{Eldritch Abomination}} looking model labelled [[https://www.models-resource.com/gamecube/luigismansion/model/6825/ "elh"]]. No code exists for it as an entity, so its intended behavior is a mystery, but its particle effects suggest it was able to use fire and ice attacks against the player. It has no textures (and has no UV unwrapping, meaning the model as-is isn't capable of being textured at all), suggesting it would've been displayed visually via shader effects or particles.

** A second version of Totaka's Song appeared as one of the songs Melody Pianissima could quiz you about. It and its related text is in fact still in the game and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nSEDuiylRo can be hacked back in]].
** There were going to be ghost enemies that would JumpScare Luigi, briefly disabling him and crippling his health to 50. The concept was taken and nerfed for the Sneakers in ''[[VideoGame/LuigisMansionDarkMoon Dark Moon]]''.
** A 2-Player mode was going to be programmed in the game but due to technical issues it was scrapped. The only remnants of this planned feature is a 2nd Mario model stretched out to Luigi's proportions. This was fully realized in the 3DS remake, as 2-player co-op is featured, with the second player controlling a clone of Luigi named Gooigi.
** In the game's dummied out files, there's a unused character named "elh", it's a [[Main/EldritchAbomination tall, faceless, twisting creature]]. He has no textures or shadings but he has six animations and 4 particle effects within his files. It's unknown if he was meant to be a boss or a chaser enemy (similar to Nemesis in the ''Franchise/ResidentEvil'') seeing that he's the only enemy who is not a ghost plus his design does not match up with the game's art style.
* WordOfGod: Given the number of ''Film/Ghostbusters1984'' references throughout the game, many assumed that it was developed as a tribute to said movie. Creator/ShigeruMiyamoto, himself a fan of ''Ghostbusters'', denied this in a [[https://mynintendonews.com/2013/03/25/miyamoto-luigis-mansion-wasnt-inspired-by-ghostbusters/ 2013 interview with ABC]], stating that the development team took care to ensure that people wouldn't assume it was a tribute in any way to ''Ghostbusters'' despite the ShoutOut[=s=].
** The game was initially much [[NintendoHard harder]]. As seen in [[https://youtu.be/Qp4WwE_6nUc the trailer shown at E3]], the Poltergust had an exhaust meter which, if overheated, could blow up and cost Luigi some life. The map that's included on the Game Boy Horror originally didn't have the feature to find the right room to fit the right key in.
** Also, rather than being split up into different areas, the entire mansion would be just one huge area.
** ''Luigi's Mansion'' was also supposedly planned to be in stereoscopic 3D using an add-on for the [=GameCube=], but both the add-on and the 3D feature of the game were dropped when Nintendo realized that the cost of the add-on would have exceeded that of the base console itself (the add-on was supposed to go into the smaller second serial port, which never got used and was dropped in a console revision). The idea of ''Luigi's Mansion'' in 3D was finally realized when both a [[VideoGame/LuigisMansionDarkMoon sequel]] and a remake of the original were made for the UsefulNotes/Nintendo3DS.
** Some DummiedOut ending files in the game are three graphics that show Luigi depressed while holding a flower, smiling with one peace sign, or smiling with both peace signs. This meant the game was going to have an EndGameResultsScreen, if not proper (or different) MultipleEndings.

* DummiedOut: A lot of things were changed or dropped from earlier versions compared to the final product, including but [[https://tcrf.net/Luigi%27s_Mansion_(GameCube) but not limited to]]:
** How images of Luigi were to follow the final new mansion to show his reaction to it (one with two peace signs while grinning, another with one, and a third with him sulking while holding a flower). Or possibly they were meant to react more to the above concept.
** The Game Boy Horror constantly displaying a first-person view in the bottom right corner of the screen.
** An unused piano version of Totaka's Song, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nSEDuiylRo to be played by Melody Pianissima]].
** A pink door with heart patterns for the Nursery and a blue door with star patgerns for the Twins' Room.
** A model labelled [[https://www.models-resource.com/gamecube/luigismansion/model/6825/ "elh"]], one of the spookier {{Eldritch Abomination}}s in the franchise.
** A Toad with green spots on his cap and a corresponding dialogue portrait.
** An unused model for Mario stretched to fit Luigi's size suggests that there was at least some testing done for a co-op multiplayer, with being a placeholder for a proper Mario with the Poltergust model.
