* DummiedOut:
** Large plot-relevant parts of the script, as Miyamoto deemed it would distract too much from the gameplay.
** Within the game disk, there are 90%-complete fourth acts for each world; in the final game, there are three per world.



* NoExportForYou: The "Navi Trackers" mini-game is only available in Japan and Korea, though the Korean version is just a repackaging of the Japanese version. A localized version was shown at E3, with English voice acting. In case you were wondering, Tetra would [[MadLibsDialogue only say the first letter of the name, instead of pronounce it like in the Japanese and Korean version]].
