List of Super Mario 3D Land pre-release and unused content
The following is a list of beta elements from the game Super Mario 3D Land.
Different Designs
World 2-1 would have, originally, a giant Used Block near the start. Possibly a beta Roulette Block that turns into a used block when hit. Also there were no yellow spotted jumping platforms after the cutouts of Goombas. They appeared in the final game. In the early World 2-3, the Super Mushroom platform had a yellow cap, and less features. The Mario platform had a Warp Pipe.
Different Functions
The box that warps Mario to other places originally also send him to bonuses, like the Mystery Boxes, what also happens in the original game but more rarely.
Invincibility Leaf and P-Wing
The Invincibility Leaf was supposed to appear after 8 deaths in one level, and the P-Wing was supposed to appear after 16 deaths.[1]
Name
The game was originally called "Super Mario". Then Reggie Fils-Aime called it "Super Mario 3D". However, E3 still called it "Super Mario".
World 2-
Airship Music
Originally, in World 2-Airship, the battle with Boom Boom featured Peewee Pirahna's theme from Super Mario Galaxy 2, but was later changed. The music was likely a placeholder for the music that ended up being in the final version.[2][3]
World Change
World 4-5 was originally World 3-3.Template:Refneeded
