The initial logo is reused from the [[List of Super Mario Strikers pre-release and unused content|pre-release version]] of the previous game, with Mario's outfit having 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.
