It would have transformed Mario and co. into [[Mega Mario|their Mega forms]]. However, this caused a problem in multiplayer: because the player who used it would be able to destroy everything while also taking up a big part of the screen, limiting other players, the Mega Mushroom was ultimately removed.{{ref needed}} | ||

However, instead of [[Yellow Toad (New Super Mario Bros. series)|Yellow Toad]], the picture showed a [[Toad (species)|Red Toad]], meaning he may have once been intended to be the fourth playable character.

Later screenshots and videos of the final build show that the HUD is now solid (only turning transparent if a player goes behind it), certain icons were updated and brightened up, along with the trademark Mario text. Notably, the life box was sized down, while the score and timer stretched out slightly. Additionally, Blue Toad and Yellow Toad's icons were switched in the final release, with Yellow Toad being third and Blue Toad being fourth. | ||
Also, when a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] is ridden, a music note was originally meant to appear on the upper-right side of the screen. Keys were originally going to appear in the game.

In the first battle against [[Larry Koopa]] as presented in the E3 2009 demo, whenever he goes into his shell, he barely covers any ground. Also, the first battle with Morton was held in {{world-link|1|castle|World 1-Castle (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)}} in the demo, not in {{world-link|6|tower|World 6-Tower (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)}} (as that level was not featured in the demo). In the demo, Morton does not have [[Skewer]]s stabbing the platforms to the side; instead, there were [[Lava Bubble]]s jumping out of the [[lava]].

As seen in [https://youtu.be/-nWG0cgEHm4?t=9m12s this] video, Yoshi has a somewhat unfinished animation not seen anywhere else in the game. Since this animation is only viewable by 'hacking' Yoshi into a Castle/Tower Level, it further hints at the theory that Yoshi was originally planned to be able to be used in boss fights. | As seen in [https://youtu.be/-nWG0cgEHm4?t=9m12s this] video, Yoshi has a somewhat unfinished animation not seen anywhere else in the game.

Additionally, Yoshi does interact with certain enemies differently from [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Blue Toad]], and [[Yellow Toad]], which can only be spotted by hacking the game. For an example, Yoshi cannot safely jump on a [[Cooligan]] or a [[Mechakoopa]], but he can eat them. Similarly, Yoshi can defeat a [[Wiggler]] by ground pounding it. Another oddity is that Yoshi can defeat a [[Big Wiggler]] by eating it, or by spitting a fireball at it. | Additionally, Yoshi does interact with certain enemies differently from [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Blue Toad (character)|Blue Toad]], and [[Yellow Toad (New Super Mario Bros. series)|Yellow Toad]], which can only be spotted by hacking the game.
