The developers had originally planned to simulate the [[Super Mushroom]]'s "[[Small Mario]] to [[Super Mario (form)|Super Mario]]" mechanic from the platforming games, explaining that it was ultimately dropped because "Partly it was hardware limitations, but it just looked weird for Mario to be walking around the map in different sizes (laughs)." Chihiro Fujioka further stated that had this been implemented into the game, some dungeons would have only been accessible as Small Mario.<ref>Family Computer Magazine (October 1995 issue), [ | The developers had originally planned to simulate the [[Super Mushroom]]'s "[[Small Mario]] to [[Super Mario (form)|Super Mario]]" mechanic from the platforming games, explaining that it was ultimately dropped because "Partly it was hardware limitations, but it just looked weird for Mario to be walking around the map in different sizes (laughs)."

=== | [[Moleville]] was planned to look slightly different than in the final game. Some rocks, artichoke, and the grass on the floor were removed. [[Nimbus Land|Nimbus Castle]] had more flora and flower-like towers. | ||

===1995 V-Jump Festival=== | |||
An early version of ''Super Mario RPG'' was also seen at a 1995 V-Jump Festival, which also focused on the game's programming and therefore showed off several features and various other things not meant to be accessible by normal players even by the game's release. The presentation of this build showed that [[Nimbus Land]] would have differently styled doorways, being simple open holes labeled with a word seeming to be "HOLLOW" or "HOLLOH" rather than the curtains seen in the final version. The V-Jump presentation also featured an animation of a normal, blue-colored [[Magikoopa]] attacking and showed [[Mario]] running through what seems to be either [[Mushroom Way]] or [[Bandit's Way]] and being chased by several [[Buzzer]]s, indicating that they would indeed be found in large groups in that area in the early ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars''. The presentation also briefly showed an early [[Yo'ster Isle]], which was much larger and seemed to feature no racetrack. The early version seen in the presentation also gave [[Moleville]] a cloud-filled foreground and removed the blue static seen in the [[Factory (Super Mario RPG)|Factory]]'s foreground. | |||
The majority of Nimbus Castle's interior seen in the early version would appear to simply be more green than that of the final version, although the room where [[Dodo]] cleaned [[Valentina]]'s statues was depicted as different shades of pink, looking nothing like it did in the final version. This room was also completely flipped horizontally for the final version. [[Melody Bay]]'s composition area also seemed to be longer, and [[Mario Bros.' House|Mario's Pad]] was depicted as much larger. Mario's house itself even changed in appearance; much like it was in the final version of ''Super Mario RPG''{{'}}s intro, the V-Jump build depicted Mario's in-game house as being labeled "Pipe House". A [[treasure chest]] was also seen in the early Mario's Pad; upon being hit by Mario, this box produced a green, [[1-Up Mushroom]]-like [[mushroom]] that in itself was not present in the final game. A pair of [[Terrapin]]s were also seen guarding an exit from Mario's Pad in this build. | |||
Lastly, the early version even featured three unused battlegrounds, one of which was a dark, musty [[castle]] similar in appearance to [[Belome Temple]], an underwater battle stage (which appeared to be from the [[Sea]] area), and the other being a star-labeled circle that may have been a simple testing area.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2rVWOhDZRU www.youtube.com] Super Mario RPG - V-Jump 95 Presentation</ref> | |||

===''Dengeki Super Famicom''=== | |||
Among other things, ''Dengeki Super Famicom'' No.15 features a screenshot of an unknown scene with [[Mario]], [[Toad]], and the [[Chancellor]], who was designed an elderly-looking, gray-spotted [[Toad (species)|Mushroom person]] with a beard. Despite this, the final design is also shown, indicating that the screenshot is of a not-then current build. | |||

===''Nintendo Power''=== | |||
Material from ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' Volume #77 shows the [[Chancellor]]'s old design. It also showed that at least one [[Buzzer]] would be in [[Mushroom Way]], and that [[Frog Sage|Frogfucius]]'s island at [[Tadpole Pond]] would be closer and therefore accessed differently than the [[tadpole]] bridge used in the final game. A [[Fishin' Lakitu|fishing]] variety of [[Lakitu]] would assist [[Mario]] in [[Booster Tower]], which had at least one [[Magikoopa]] as an enemy. Mario would also encounter [[Bowser]] at an unknown time in [[Bowser's Castle|Bowser's Keep]], and would fight against two [[Beezo|Shy Away]]s during this scene. | |||
