''[[Pikmin 3]]'', like other games, went through several iterations that never made it to the public. While no one has been able to go into the game's files to get unused content as of now, some prerelease elements that never made it to the final product can be found by looking at early trailers and footage. Hopefully, over time, unused data will be able to be observed from the game's disc itself.
''[[Pikmin 3]]'', like other games, went through several iterations that never made it to the public. Some of these had content that was changed or removed for the final release. In addition, there is [[Unused content in Pikmin 3|unused content inside the disc]] that also hints at what type of content was meant to be in the final release, at one point.

{{todo|Link to the interview in a reference.}}
There was one character that never made it into the game in any footage whatsoever, and was scrapped early in development. He was showed off at E3 2012 in a bit of concept art, and all that was underneath him was the letter "D". With an interview with Shigeru Miyamoto, he stated that there were three captains playable in the game, suggesting Character D was scrapped early on, since he was never shown in any footage. Since Alph, Brittany, and Charlie all had the first letter of their name under their art at E3 2012, it is speculated by fans that the character's final name was meant to be Drake, but this name was eventually moved to the game's ship, the [[S.S. Drake]]. A possible reason for the scrap could've been due to the fact that controlling and switching between four leaders would have been considered too chaotic.

===Brittany===
In a prototype version, Brittany's suit was yellow, both in-game and on concept art. In the final version, her suit was changed to pink. Her original concept art also lacked glasses, which she has in the final game.

==Removed enemies==
{{main|Unused content in Pikmin 3|t1=Unused content in ''Pikmin 3''}}
There are unused files inside the game for a handful of enemies, both new and returning. These got removed for reasons unknown.
*An unknown purple leech-like enemy.
*A version of the [[Wollywog]] with a [[crystal]] on its stomach. It is possible that it would've stomped with its crystal, and only [[Rock Pikmin]] could destroy it.
*A version of the [[Beady Long Legs]] with its round head replaced with a foot. It likely would've stomped with its head as well.
*A version of the [[Male Sheargrub]] that is rounder.
*An alternate-colored [[Ravenous Whiskerpillar]].
*The [[Honeywisp]].
*The [[Emperor Bulblax]].
*The [[Wollywog]].
*The [[Breadbug]].

===Minor changes===
*The idea for a different [[Music in Pikmin 3#End of day|end of day theme]] depending on how profitable the day was, like in ''Pikmin 2'', might have been considered seeing as how there are [[unused content in Pikmin 3|unused files]] for a "happy" and a "sad" version of the ''Pikmin 3'' song.
