This is a list of pre-release and unused content for the game Yoshi's New Island.

Early builds

Nintendo Direct announcement (04/17/2013)

• Coins and Red Coins were slightly bigger and had a different design.
• A level with yellow grass and red tulips nearly identical to Make Eggs, Throw Eggs from Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island was intended to be in the game.
• Egg Blocks were plain square, and were less looking 3D.
• Yellow Crazee Dayzees were intended to appear, but due to a textural glitch, they didn't appear in the final game.
• Spinners were intended to be controlled by a row of Boo Guys.

E3 2013 trailer and demo

• The logo for the game and title screen were simpler.
• The Yoshis could swallow a Mega Guy by hitting it with their tongue once, like a normal enemy.
• The 1-Up meter that appeared when the Yoshi obtained a Mega Eggdozer was different. The game also used a different font.
• Gusty Glory was supposed to be World 1-2, but it was World 2-6 in the final game. Its background showed a forest instead of pine tree hills. It had a different design as well. The differing level number was likely for demo purposes.
• World 1-3 was originally a castle-like cave where Count Fang was fought. The music used for this level was a remix of the main theme that, in the final version, was reworked and used for some specific rooms in Bowser's Castle Break-In. In the final game, Count Fang is fought in World 2-8 and the cave became a section in Lantern Ghost Grotto. It was likely numbered 1-3 for demo purposes only.
