* ScrewedByTheLawyers: CyberConnect2 has expressed time and time again that they would love to remake ''Solatorobo'' for modern consoles, but in order to do that, they would need clearance from Bandai Namco as they still own exclusive publishing rights over the game. Given how badly the game underperformed financially, it's understandable why Bandai Namco would remain hesitant to do anything regarding the ''Little Tail Bronx'' series as a whole.

** The three-way battle against Opera, Calua, and Gren was originall going to be much different, with the three revealing to have CombiningMecha [[https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/788324889114574848/860528135815430174/unknown.png that would then fight against Red.]]
** There was going to be a mission where the Black Cats Gang would steal the DAHAK, forcing Red to borrow Waffle's Police Robo to get it back.

*** The artbooks also had different designed proposed for the returning Waffle, Panta, Alicia, Flare, and Stair, suggesting that they would become OlderAndWiser come ''Solatorobo.'' For reasons unknown, these designs went unused and they all reverted back to their original outfits in the final game.

** Cocona's InsertSong, "Sparkling Shooting Star", was supposed to be a lot longer, but had to be cut down to only the first verse due to them running out of space on the game's cartridge. Oddly enough, in spite of the soundtrack getting remastered and released on CD, "Sparkling Shooting Star" never got extended to its intended full length.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Something to be expected for a game that spent nearly 10 years in development.
** The project started life back in 1999 as a direct sequel to ''Tail Concerto'' titled ''Tail Capriccio'' ("Capriccio" meaning "Fantastical Music", keeping up with the theme naming of the first game), with both Panta and Cyan in the running for being PromotedToPlayable. However, middling sales from the first game lead to Bandai (later Bandai Namco) rejecting the proposal. In 2004, the sequel was proposed again before being re-imagined as the PublicServiceAnnouncement game ''Mamoru-Kun'', before finally being retooled into ''Solatorobo'' starting in 2007.
** Many different prototype designs and plot ideas were revealed in the multiple ''Solatorobo'' art books titled "Bluesky", "Daybreak", and "Starlet". Some ideas include Red initially being younger and named Blue, and story ideas that would eventually morph into the tie-in novel series "Red Data Children."

For reasons unknown, these designs went unused and they all reverted back to their original outfits in the final game.
** Chocolat was originally designed as a Felineko before suddenly shifting into a Caninu late into production. Chocolat was also going to be the TokenHuman ActionGirl partner to Red at one point.
** Mervielle was going to be KilledOffForReal in the second half of the game, but the writers' attachment to the character prevented that from happening.
** Opera was supposed to be Fool's daughter, before being morphed into her own independent character.
** Flo was going to also serve as MissionControl, giving you hints and proverbs depending on the situation on the top half of the screen not unlike Mei Ling from ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid'', before being delegated to a simple mission broker.

* InvisibleAdvertising: In Japan, this was zig-zagged, as they made over 100 advertisements for the game, each of them lasting no more than 15 seconds... but they were all dropped on the same day as the game's release, though ''Solatorobo'' had some pre-release content beforehand. In western territories, this was played straight, as the only form of advertisement this game got was a moddest ''Magazine/NintendoPower'' article, maybe one trailer and that's it. Not helping is that both of them kept the second half of the game under wraps (as opposed to the European version teasing its existence and the Japanese version outright showing it), thus making many onlookers [[AnimationAgeGhetto assume the worst about the game.]]

* AcclaimedFlop: While the game is considered to be an EvenBetterSequel compared to ''VideoGame/TailConcerto'', [[https://youtu.be/neoPdIXte6U According to a Q&A session]], ''Solatorobo'' only managed to push 100,000 units worldwide, in part thanks to the game being a very late release for the DS.
