This article pertains to the beta elements of Super Mario Bros. 3 and its remake, Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3.
Super Mario Bros. 3 Beta elements
There were going to be two new enemies called Gold Cheep Cheep (a golden version of a Cheep-Cheep), and Green Parabeetles (green colored Parabeetles). The Gold Cheep Cheeps would come in groups and swim faster than regular Cheep-Cheeps and the Green Parabeetle is a green Parabeetle that flies faster than normal ones, Gold Cheep-Cheeps appeared in New Super Mario Bros. Wii as smaller versions traveling around in schools. The game coding reveals an item-sized Toad icon among some of the game's suits; this is interpreted by several as a sort of "Toad Suit", although it makes no changes to gameplay when granted to Mario. - This has been recently proven to actually be a Hammer Suit with palette errors, and appears clearly in a "?" block in 7-8, giving Mario the Hammer Suit. [1] Designers also considered a power-up to turn Mario into a Centaur (half-man, half-horse), although this was rejected (Tilden 1990, 21).
Koopa Troopas and Hammer Bros. were going to host two mini-games. The mini-games were a Dice Block game and a Question Block game. Cite error: Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag
