In an interview, the developers of ''Super Mario World'' revealed two pictures depicting early sprite tiles for the game. It is also worth noting that [[Nipper Plant]]s, [[Chain Chomp]]s, [[Sledge Bro]]thers, and [[Hammer Bro]]thers are present on the sheet, the last of which is inconsistently shown with or without shoes between frames, showing that these sprites were not considered complete even before scrapping. Alongside this, green and yellow blob-like creatures were also shown. It is likely that the blobs would have been early versions of [[Baby Yoshi]]s. Additionally, a full-grown [[Yoshi]] is shown with a head similar to the final version's Baby Yoshis, and that [[Mario]] was originally going to punch Yoshi's head in order for him to either extend his tongue or breathe fire. A ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''-styled [[Lift]] is also shown among the early sprites. Other sprites included a black ball-shaped creature with white eyes and two stick-like feet, a red [[Power Balloon]], a more on-model [[Cheep Cheep]], and circular and square variations of the [[Triangular Block]].<ref>GameXplain.

Alongside this, green and yellow blob-like creatures were also shown. It is likely that the blobs may have been early versions of [[Baby Yoshi]]s, and likley inspired [[Wubba]]s nearly 35 years later.

#A [[Koopa (species)|Koopa]] that looks quite like [[Morton Koopa Jr.|Morton]]. It can force Mario to enter a level, like the [[World 8-Hand Traps|Hand Trap]]s of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. It ambushes Mario on the overworld. Because it was not finished, it corrupts Mario's position on the overworld map, and thus makes the game unplayable except for level 0, which is a never-ending bonus game. Three copies of this sprite were actually used in the game. However, due to the specific setup of the overworld, players will never see them on an unmodified copy of ''Super Mario World''.
