Thirty-two courses were initially planned for the game, but only 15 of them made it into the final product. In some sketch-ups of the game's early development in ''[[Super Mario History 1985-2010|Super Mario History]]'', Mario is seen jumping on a piano with the phrase ピアノの上をあるく (Walk atop a piano). He is also seen climbing a ladder, swinging around a pole, and pushing a door and a block of ice.<ref>{{media link|SM64 - Concept Arts.jpg}}</ref> | Thirty-two courses were initially planned for the game, but only 15 of them made it into the final product.

During an interview between [[Satoru Iwata]] and [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] regarding ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', Iwata stated that there used to be a multiplayer function that was scrapped from ''Super Mario 64'', likely due to hardware limitations. It was also stated that one could see [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] meet in the corridor. This, apparently, inspired the multiplayer function of ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. | During an interview between [[Satoru Iwata]] and [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] regarding ''[[New Super Mario Bros.

<blockquote>'''Iwata:''' Ever since Mario Bros., you've had your heart set on making a multiplayer Mario game. You've tried each time, but it's never quite come together… Even with Mario 64, it started with Mario and Luigi running around together, didn't it? | <blockquote>'''Iwata:''' Ever since Mario Bros., you've had your heart set on making a multiplayer Mario game.

In an interview between Iwata and Koichi Hayashida regarding ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', it was mentioned during a discussion about the [[Goal Pole|flagpole]] that it was once considered to be incorporated into ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. | In an interview between Iwata and Koichi Hayashida regarding ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', it was mentioned during a discussion about the [[Goal Pole|flagpole]] that it was once considered to be incorporated into ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. | ||
<blockquote>'''Iwata:''' The impression the goal pole makes has a big influence over the impression that the game makes. I suppose [[Shigeru Miyamoto|he]] thought this was an area that deserved effort. | <blockquote>'''Iwata:''' The impression the goal pole makes has a big influence over the impression that the game makes.

According to [[Yoshiaki Koizumi]], [[Luigi]] was dropped from the game because technical limitations prevented from having both him and more elaborate levels.<ref>[http://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/#/wiiu/super-mario-3d-world/0/6 Iwata Asks: Super Mario 3D World]</ref> | According to [[Yoshiaki Koizumi]], [[Luigi]] was dropped from the game because technical limitations prevented from having both him and more elaborate levels.<ref>[http://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/#/wiiu/super-mario-3d-world/0/6 Iwata Asks: Super Mario 3D World]</ref> | ||
