In the prototype of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, there was text that suggested that Koopsor at least his house, kept some dark secret from which emanated “creepy noises”. However, in the final version of the game, all references to this subplot were removed entirely.
The removal of this subplot from the game suggests that the developers They made a conscious decision to discard or modify certain elements of the story. This could be due to considerations of tone, narrative focus, or even time constraints. Although it is common for games to go through changes during their development, the initial presence of a dark mystery in the Koops storyline and his subsequent elimination raises questions about the creative decisions behind this choice.
The opinion on whether this modification was correct or not depends on each player, but you can see it below:
