(Linked to Super Nintendo World.)
(Added some unused Pikmin stuff in SM3DAS and TLOZTP. I've also renamed the section to be more inclusive, and renamed the "debatable references" section to "debatable appearances", since it's more correct.)

Inside the files for the launcher are references to "stages" and sound attenuation data that don't exist in the final game. Some of these refer to Pikmin, such as <code>TestHayakawaVrPikmin00Stage</code>, or <code>VrPikminShip_Default.baatn</code>.{{cite web|https://tcrf.net/Super_Mario_3D_All-Stars|Super Mario 3D All-Stars|The Cutting Room Floor|published={{date|20|May|2020}}|retrieved={{date|22|May|2020}}}}

During Super Mario Galaxy 2's development, ''[[mariowiki:Donkey Kong series|Donkey Kong]]'' and ''Pikmin'' cameos were proposed but they were turned down by Shigeru Miyamoto{{cite web|http://www.gamespot.com/articles/donkey-kong-pikmin-super-mario-galaxy-2-cameos-nixed/1100-6365948/|Miyamoto explains why Pikmin doesn't work in the Mario universe|Gamespot}}. He explained that there has to be a functional reason to include characters of a certain type in a game and that the overall design of the Pikmin, being thin and tall, don't fit in the Mario universe where enemies are short and easy to stomp on.

In the files for the ring-like item selection menu, there is an unused texture called <code>tt_map1_ia4.png</code>.{{cite web|https://tcrf.net/The_Legend_of_Zelda:_Twilight_Princess/Unused_Textures|The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess/Unused Textures|The Cutting Room Floor}} This is actually the icon for the [[Sphere Chart]], used in the "Items" page of ''Pikmin 2''{{'s}} [[pause menu]]. This version is recolored red, and has the globe's holder removed. A prototype of the game contains the same texture as the one in ''Pikmin 2'', albeit slightly darker and with no transparency.{{cite web|https://tcrf.net/Proto:The_Legend_of_Zelda:_Twilight_Princess|Proto:The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|The Cutting Room Floor}}
 
Finally, one model in the game makes use of a texture with "fb dum" written on it, as a placeholder for a material that gets displayed with a shader. This is the exact same texture used in the files of the [[Waterwraith]].{{cite web|https://tcrf.net/Talk:The_Legend_of_Zelda:_Twilight_Princess#Beta_forest_and_an_image|Talk:The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|The Cutting Room Floor|published={{date|14|April|2013}}|retrieved={{date|23|May|2020}}}}


==Debatable references==
==Debatable appearances==
The following is a list of spotted potential references to the ''Pikmin'' series, but whose veracity is debatable. For most of these cases, only a few characteristics of the referenced material matches the ''Pikmin'' world equivalent &ndash; not enough to completely assume that there is a full reference.
