Hello Everybody. I recently registered as I wanted to share something that I haven't seen documented elsewhere.

A couple of months back, I downloaded a Luigi's Mansion gamerip in .MP3 format, and I noticed that at the very end of the soundtrack there were several songs that were claimed to be unused. There were three that I think were used, but there were three more I can't recall hearing anywhere in the game, and I thought they would be interesting to share.

The first one is a simple five-second drumbeat. Probably some sort of test track:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rH6cFZaUeNw&feature=plcp

The second one was in the gamerip also, but it seems as if somebody already beat me to it and uploaded it. It's Totaka's theme being played on Melody's piano. I've played through the game several times and I have never heard this song being played on Melody's piano:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hw63eBVt0e0 (Yet again, not uploaded by me)

A website named Luigi's Bigger Mansion has documented some unused text. Some of the unused texts involves Melody questioning Luigi about the song, along with three possible names for the song (the two wrong ones are misspellings of Totaka's name):

http://www.freewebs.com/luigisbiggermansion/related.htm

There's a third song that's simply the first few notes of the original overworld theme in Super Mario Bros. on a zylaphone, but I don't recall hearing it anywhere. It's around the same length as the "Get Important Item" theme, so they may have intended to use it (or did use it) if you picked up one of Mario's dropped items. From my memory, the "Get Important Item" song plays for every one of Mario's items. I don't have this uploaded yet, but I'll upload later when I'm not lazy.

So, has anybody heard anything about these songs before?

The Super Mario bros theme on the zylaphone may just be when you mess around with the instruments in the instrument room.

It could be. The creator of the rip however did mention he hacked the game to disable SFX to record the music, though some I think were taken straight from the disc. He has what is claimed to be an unused space room, though it seems to be the Total Score jingle looped (NOT the jingle you hear if you complete a chapter, it something else he claims is unused, though I SWEAR I've heard it before...).

I can post them onto the Wiki in .ogg format, though I'm not sure if that would be considered "stealing"...Could somebody tell me if it would be stealing if I did just that? He gave out the soundtrack for eveyone to download and it wasn't anything private.

There's already an Action Replay code to have Melody play that song, and it is indeed unused (the song's placement now being at the controller config screen). I guy by the name of Ralf hacked apart LM (even finding an unused monster!) over on GSCentral. On the Luigi's Bigger Mansion boards, my friend Catley has gone through most of everything that I haven't bothered updating to the LBM site yet. You can wade through the topics on the messageboard there if you're interested (I'll get around to updating the main site eventually...).

Ralf did hack out a music code to play whatever song as the main theme, listing all the songs possible in the game, and I don't recall any other than the Melody one being unused (but, it has been awhile). HCS, over on his site, was able to write an application that decompresses the sample archive into stuff you can play in Winamp with the plugin he made. I honestly don't remember too much, but there were some oddball sounds in there (they were less than a second, so chances are I'm wrong ).

That drum beat sounds like something from the training area, I'll say.

The alt attribute should be used to give a short description
of an image; longer descriptions should be given with the
longdesc attribute which takes a URL linked to the description.
These measures are needed for people using non-graphical browsers.

For further advice on how to make your pages accessible
see http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL.
You are recommended to use CSS to specify the font and
properties such as its size and color. This will reduce
the size of HTML files and make them easier to maintain
compared with using <FONT> elements.

You are recommended to use CSS to control line wrapping.
Use "white-space: nowrap" to inhibit wrapping in place
of inserting <NOBR>...</NOBR> into the markup.
