* {{Blooper}}: The Pure Heart you get for finishing Chapter 6 is supposed to be purple, is placed in the purple Heart Pillar and unlocks the purple-colored door to Chapter 7. But when it's shown to the heroes by King Sammer and later repaired by Queen Jaydes, it's erroneously shown as the indigo Pure Heart, which was originally from Chapter 5.

* MovedToTheNextConsole: The game was initially going to be a UsefulNotes/NintendoGameCube title that would have been released in 2006. Leftover graphics from the [=GameCube=] version remain unused in the game's files, and some very minor graphical glitches occur in some places when the game is played in widescreen, indicating that the game was initially designed with a 4:3 aspect ratio in mind, which is what the [=GameCube=] usually outputted.[[note]]A select few [=GameCube=] games could output in 16:9 the same way the Wii did, but many Nintendo-made games outputted in 4:3 only. Even the [=GameCube=] version of ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess'' only outputted in 4:3 despite the Wii version supporting 16:9 widescreen.[[/note]]

Added Development Gag about "Director changing after 3 seasons"

Added DiffLines:

* DevelopmentGag: During the dating-sim dialogue with Francis, he offers to gift Princess Peach a rare "Pink Princess" poster. Supposedly, this poster is super-rare because it was signed by the director who changed after season three. Very interestingly, Paper Mario series director Ryota Kawade who had worked on the first three games up until Super Paper Mario, would not return for later sequels. This may have been a nod to Kawade's disinterest in working on any further sequels.

** Seth Gordon (who also directed ''The King of Kong'') expressed interest in directing a movie based on the game at one point, which would have been a 3D movie that would've used the effects in lieu of flipping. Nothing came of it.

* DummiedOut: A particularly strange example. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wKQ1YxxlIs Eleven unused maps]] were uncovered in December 2018 that only seem to exist in Korean copies of the game. Many of the maps are large, open areas in the style of the first two games, and a few contain these unknown [[CatFolk feline]] [=NPCs=] that can’t be spoken to and don’t fit with SPM's art style at all. One theory is that someone on the Korean team was dabbling in making their own game inside this one.

** There ''had been'' talk of making a film adaption, most likely an {{Anime}} film. However, almost as soon as it was mentioned, it was canned or shelved; nobody heard anything about it again. Too bad...
