Apparently, some of these stages were meant to have [[Stage hazard|hazards]] or [[Stage element|other elements]], as the game's files depict file called <code>SSB4\param\ui\ui_character_db</code>, which refers to boss characters such as [[Ridley]], the [[Yellow Devil]], and [[Metal Face]].

Also, there exists unused files in the Wii U version for [[Mushroomy Kingdom]] and [[3D Land]]; however, the only files remaining in each directory is the item parameter file, meaning these files are mere remnants from the 3DS version.

*[[Magicant]] - the [[Flying Men]] were intended to be given unique three-dimensional models rather than use their sprites from [[EarthBound_(universe)|EarthBound]] in the official release. In a weekly issue of Famitsu, [[Masahiro Sakurai]] stated that the sprites were used as to lessen the strain on the 3DS's hardware. An image of the Flying Man's 3D model also was featured in the column. While the model itself was removed from the official game, it was later recycled and became a paid DLC costume for the Mii Brawlers.

In a weekly issue of Famitsu, [[Masahiro Sakurai]] stated that the sprites, adapted from ''{{b|EarthBound|game}}'', were used as to lessen the strain on the 3DS's hardware. An image of the Flying Man's 3D model also was featured in the column. While the model itself was removed from the official game, it was later reworked as a paid DLC costume for {{SSB4|Mii Brawler}}s.
*{{SSB4|Mario Circuit}} - Unused textures exist for a blue Toad's model, suggesting that Toads were planned to appear as racers on the stage. However, as with [[Rainbow Road]] and [[Mario Circuit (SSBB)|Mario Circuit (Brawl)]], only [[Shy Guy]]s in their {{s|mariowiki|Standard Kart}}s appear instead.

*''{{iw|wikirby|Kirby's Epic Yarn}}'' stage - An initially planned stage based off Kirby's Epic Yarn was reworked into [[The Great Cave Offensive]] when ''{{iw|mariowiki|Yoshi's Woolly World}}'' was announced.<ref>http://sourcegaming.info/2016/05/11/sakuraifanmisconception505/</ref>
*''{{s|wikirby|Kirby's Epic Yarn}}'' stage - A planned stage based on ''Kirby's Epic Yarn'' was reworked into [[The Great Cave Offensive]] when ''{{s|mariowiki|Yoshi's Woolly World}}'' was announced, suggesting the goal was to distinguish it from the [[Woolly World]] stage.<ref>http://sourcegaming.info/2016/05/11/sakuraifanmisconception505/</ref>
*''{{iw|mariowiki|Super Mario Land}}'' stage - A stage based off Super Mario Land was slated to appear before being reworked to {{SSB4|Dream Land}} for unknown reasons.<ref>http://sourcegaming.info/2016/05/11/sakuraifanmisconception505/</ref>
*''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario Land}}'' stage - A stage based on ''Super Mario Land'' was slated to appear before being reworked into {{SSB4|Dream Land}} for unknown reasons; both stages are based on well-known Game Boy titles.<ref>http://sourcegaming.info/2016/05/11/sakuraifanmisconception505/</ref>

*''Dr. Mario'' stage - An unused boss character named "Virus" exists, with Virus a potential reference [[mariowiki:Virus|to the ones from Dr. Mario]]. This implies that {{SSB4|Dr. Mario}} was meant to have a home stage with a boss. Unused portraits for the Virus characters were found in the game, and the Virus uses the unused render for their trophy stance, further suggesting this. No files have been found for the stage.

*"Plankton" - A file called Plankton *being the Japanese title of ''[[Electroplankton]]'') exists, suggesting that either [[Hanenbow]] or another stage from Electroplankton was to appear in ''SSB4.'' No files were found to reference plankton or Hanenbow; the only reference is in the emblem database, meaning the leftover data was ported from ''Brawl''.

No files were found to reference plankton or Hanenbow; the only reference is in the emblem database, also raising the possibility that it is merely leftover data that was ported from ''Brawl''.
*"Diary" - This stage could possibly refer to the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swapnote Swapnote] program for the 3DS, the app serving as a parallel to [[Pictochat]] for the DS. The only reference to this is inside the emblem database, and no other files are present in the game.
