As seen in early screenshots, [[Koopa Troopa]]s and [[Hammer Bro]]thers were going to host two mini-games. The [[minigame]]s were a Question Block and a dice game respectively, which also would have marked the first ''Mario'' game to have the Koopas standing on two feet instead of all fours. These minigames and their hosts seem to have been replaced by [[Toad]]. An early build of the game was previewed in a promotional VHS tape coming with the September 1988 edition of the magazine ''Famimaga''.<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ov8A5tz8MU0</ref> The preview shows several levels unused in the final game, a different sprite for the [[Hard Block|Wood Block]] and a slightly different status bar. | As seen in early screenshots, [[Koopa Troopa]]s and [[Hammer Bro]]thers were going to host two mini-games.

The back of the box of some early copies of ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' depicts Mario traversing a hilly grassland stage with many Para-Beetles and two [[Note Block]]s. This particular stage is not any of the lost ones present on the cartridge, nor is it in the final game. These boxes also feature an early map of [[Grass Land]]. | The back of the box of some early copies of ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' depicts Mario traversing a hilly grassland stage with many Para-Beetles and two [[Note Block]]s.

The [[Spade Panel|Spade]] card minigame originally featured an invisible wild card which would match one of the cards already drawn by the player<ref name="TCRF">The Cutting Room Floor (June 09, 2017).

On boards with an uneven number of wild card, the mechanic would make the minigame unwinnable as the wild card leave one card unmatchable<ref name="TCRF"></ref>.
