Earlier builds[edit]
E3 2014[edit]
Originally called Mario Maker, this build of the game was first presented at E3 2014 with a demo that the attendees could play with the following differences compared to the final game:
- There was only one row with fourteen place-able course elements: Brick Blocks, ? Blocks, ? Blocks with Super Mushrooms in them, Ground Blocks, Pipes, Trampolines, Moving Platforms, Coins, Goombas, Koopa Troopas, Hammer Bros., Piranha Plants, and Wings.
- Ground Blocks were placed in a way similar to Semisolid Platforms.
- In the Super Mario Bros. style, objects had heavier shading, certain objects looked shinier (Coins, ? Blocks, and Brick Blocks), and the background had a grid pattern unlike the final's recreation of the Super Mario Bros. background.
- There was no sign at the beginning of courses.
- Coins emitted sparkles when collected.
- Details that automatically pop up when creating a course weren't in the game yet.
- Enemies exploded when Mario touched the flagpole.
- In the demo the timer was set to 999 unlike the final game which can only go up to 500 seconds.
- The icon for selecting which direction a moving platform should go was circular rather than square.
- Instead of the clock icon used in the final game, it instead said "Time" over the Time.
- Trampolines in the Super Mario Bros style had a different sprite that was more true to Super Mario Bros. compared to the final build.
- Super Mushrooms could not be placed on their own in the demo and were instead in a block automatically.
- The HUD in the editor looked completely different then in the final game.
- In the Editor, instead of the rocket ship was a trash can. Also, the Undodog and hand had their original sprites from Mario Paint.
- There was also an button for placing objects with a hand representing it.
- Weird Mario had a different sprite which looked more like a stretched out Small Mario instead of having his own unique sprite.
- In the New Super Mario Bros. U theme, the animations were different.
- The background was flat in the New Super Mario Bros. U theme and none of the objects (clouds, hills, etc.) moved along with the screen.
- Whenever the player finished a course in the demo, a voice saying Congratulations could be heard, confetti would fall along with some Super Stars, and a few hands would clap for the player. In the Super Mario Bros. style the hands were pixelated, while in the New Super Mario Bros. U style they were smoother.

Game Awards Trailer[edit]
During the Game Awards, a trailer for Mario Maker was released. While it was closer to the final game than the E3 2014 build, it was still very different.
- The object selector's color was red.
- The object selector had where the number is in the final an object that looked like a ninja star.
- The Super Mario Bros. 3 style's sign looked different.
- The Fire Flower's color in the Super Mario Bros. 3 style matched the original game's color.
- The Bill Blaster and Cannon both turned blue in castles and underground even in the Super Mario World style.
Unused data[edit]
Unused costume data[edit]
Several unused costumes are referenced in the game's CharaMarioTable.byaml file. None of them have graphics associated with them, however.
