Bread Crumbs
Bread Crumbs, or simply Crumbs, ( Bread Crumbs) is an item which appears in one's inventory if the player has chosen to use a Bread, rather than eating it. If one uses a Bread, it will be rendered into crumbs and will be successively dropped as Ninten and his friends walk around, in order to leave a trail.

This will result in him telling Ninten about his secret of avoiding colds, which is revealed to be thanks to the use of Mouthwash. He will then fill the entire inventory of Ninten and his friends with Mouthwash, which later on can be purchased by a young boy in the house for $10 each.

Onyx Hook
The Onyx Hook ( Agate Fish Hook) is first received after beating the The Fish in Magicant's Underground. It can be used anywhere to teleport straight to Magicant.

The teacher then accidentally presses it, and Ninten's party is transported to a destroyed version of the Mysterious Teacher's room seen after Lloyd blows it up. If hacked into the shop data in the prototype, it will still have the purchase price of $2775, but no events will activate. Using the item in the English prototype will display "Nothing happened.", and using the Look command will simply display the text "System Error!!!".

Other

IC-Chip
The IC-Chip is an item present in the coding of both the Japanese and prototype version of the game, where Lloyd appears to be the only character capable of using it, though a text saying "Nothing happened." appears when trying this. It is assumed to later have been changed into the Memory Chip in the Mother 1+2 version. The item can also not be dropped from the inventory, which strengthens this theory.

PoisnNeedle and StoneOrigin
The PoisnNeedle and StoneOrigin were presumably supposed to have the same functions as the enemy attacks of the same names. Alternatively, enemies might be using them, similar to The Hippie using a bullhorn, as they display the same text when used in battle.
