The initial logo is very similar to that from the previous game, although Mario's outfit has blue highlights. Ball launchers were an early aesthetic design, where they assisted characters performing [[Mega Strike]]s by catapulting multiple balls into the air. They were removed for requiring a longer animation sequence and was deemed as an unnecessary detail. | ||
Concept arts show Toads in mechs that would have decorated at the perimeter of the stages, acting as security and other tasks. Additionally, one Toad has appeared to take control of a Blooper. They were removed due to technical limitations, although a Toad controlling a Blooper appeared in [[The Wastelands]], albeit much less detailed than in the concept art. | Concept arts show Toads in mechs that would have decorated at the perimeter of the stages, acting as security and other tasks.

The metal soccer ball has underwent 12 revisions, and it has started with a much more complex design: a sphere with many exhaust vents that glow different colors when charged. The final version features a simpler design with less vents and glows only one color when charged. | The metal soccer ball has underwent 12 revisions, and it has started with a much more complex design: a sphere with many exhaust vents that glow different colors when charged.

The characters have also underwent a few design changes. The decision to give them armor took early in development as a result from experimentation by the concept artists. Before receiving armor, characters were designed similar to the first game, with standard soccer attire. Later, concept arts depict characters, notably [[Kritter]], in varying amounts of armor. | |||

Some stage ideas were also scrapped. One concept art depicts a soccer stadium inside a futuristic city-like setting. Another concept art depicts a soccer stadium on top of helicopter/airplane hybrid. There was a Bowser-theme stage which was a volcano located in a dark, futuristic cityscape. In the volcano was a stadium held by suspension cords. The Bowser head, near the stadium, would spew molten material to burn players. It could be possible that this was an early concept of [[The Lava Pit]], although in the final build, the cityscape was removed and the stadium takes place in the ground of the volcanic pit. | Some stage ideas were also scrapped.
