Waluigi Time (talk | contribs) (The Mad Piano statement is probably just an error since we don't have anything to suggest otherwise, the Tanooki Suit thing seems like it was just a joke and not a suggestion it was in the game (or ever meant to be)) |

Thirty-two courses were initially planned for the game, but only 15 of them made it into the final product. In some sketch-ups of the game's early development in ''[[Super Mario History 1985-2010|Super Mario History]]'', Mario is seen jumping on a piano with the phrase ピアノの上をあるく (Walk atop a piano). He is also seen climbing a ladder, swinging around a pole, and pushing a door and a block of ice.<ref>{{media link|SM64 - Concept Arts.jpg}}</ref> | Thirty-two courses were initially planned for the game, but only 15 of them made it into the final product.

During an interview between [[Satoru Iwata]] and [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] regarding ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', Iwata stated that there used to be a multiplayer function that was scrapped from ''Super Mario 64'', likely due to hardware limitations. It was also stated that one could see [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] meet in the corridor. This, apparently, inspired the multiplayer function of ''New Super Mario Bros.

The team eventually decided to put Luigi in a ''[[Mario Bros.
