List of Super Mario 3D Land pre-release and unused content: Difference between revisions

*In the E3 demo, '''{{World|2|airship}}''' was originally called '''World 2-5'''.

While walking or dashing, Mario could perform a roll when {{button|3ds|L}} or {{button|3ds|R}} was pressed. In the release version, Mario can only roll if he crouches first (crouching can be performed by pressing {{button|3ds|L}} or {{button|3ds|R}} while standing still). He cannot go straight into a roll from walking or dashing. Trying to perform a roll using the controls from the demo in the release version, will cause Mario to do a slide while crouching. However, it's still possible to roll while moving - simply run, crouch, and then press {{button|3ds|Y}}. This was probably done to make the game a bit more reminiscent of the older games, where Mario could slide under obstacles by crouching while running, and also make it possible to roll like in the demo. Due to the change, when Mario long jumps, he doesn't do a flip as seen in early videos. Instead, a "regular" animation is used. Even this has an exception: it's actually possible to do the flip, the player simply needs to press the jump button while in a roll, as stated in the game's electronic manual. According to the official ''Super Mario 3D Land'' Iwata Asks feature, Miyamoto disapproved of these early rolling controls because they weren't intuitive and didn't make immediate sense.
