Early in production, the development team suggested that the game should feature cameos from other Nintendo IP, such as ''[[pikipedia:Pikmin series|Pikmin]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong (franchise)|Donkey Kong]]'' series. [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] did not approve of the idea, however.<ref>McWhertor, Michael (March 12, 2012).

''GameTrailers''. Retrieved April 25, 2012.</ref> One of the reasons was that the [[Pikmin]]'s body shape would make them awkward to jump on. This suggests that they would have been featured as enemies or friendly non-playable characters.

[[Rosalina]] noticably has a much smaller role in the game, appearing only in the game's first and second endings. This is because Shigeru Miyamoto thought the [[Rosalina's Story|storybook]] in the first game covering her backstory distracted gamers from the first game's gameplay, and made the game focus too much on her instead of the Mario Bros.{{ref needed}} The game was originally going to have a new subplot involving Rosalina,{{ref needed}} including exactly how she met [[Lubba]] in the first place (which in the final version is reduced to a brief mention by Lubba in the game's ending).


A proposed Bone Mario power-up was rejected by Shigeru Miyamoto.<ref>Totilo, Stephen (November 22, 2011).
