There were going to be two new [[enemies]] called '''Gold Cheep Cheep''' (a golden version of a [[Cheep-Cheep]], and '''Green Parabeetles''' (green colored [[Parabeetle]]s). The Gold Cheep Cheeps would come in groups and swim faster than regular Cheep-Cheeps and the Green Parabeetle is a green Parabeetle that flies faster than normal ones. There are also several rumors floating around the internet of a scrapped "Centaur Mario" form which little is known about, although it could be assumed that it would transform Mario into a centaur (a mythical, half-horse, half-human creature), and the game coding itself reveals an item-sized [[Toad (species)|Toad]] icon among some of the game's suits; this is interpreted by several as a sort of "Toad Suit". (Although it makes no changes to gameplay when granted to Mario, likely due to it being scrapped early and never given any purpose.)

Designers also considered a power-up to turn Mario into a Centaur (half-man, half-horse), although this was rejected (Tilden 1993, 21).


[[Koopa Troopa]]s and and [[Hammer Bros.]] were going to host the mini-games. They were replaced by [[Toad]]. There were also different kinds of mini-games, similar to the ones in ''New Super Mario Bros.''.
