In addition to the extra World-e content in the Japanese version of Super Mario Advance 4, a lot more had seemingly been planned, as evidenced by the large amounts of Dummied Out content on the ROM and the fact that the world's castle, which displays the e-coins in each of the World-e levels, was originally planned to have three floors, each with a full length e-coin gallery.The NES ROMs contain a bunch of unused and unfinished content, such as entire levels, enemy variants, miscellaneous graphics, different types of mini-games apparently hosted by friendly Koopa Troopas and Hammer Bros., and more.According to Nintendo Power Volume 10, a power-up where Mario transformed into a centaur was planned.3 underground theme instead of the remixed Doki Doki Panic music used in the final versions. For underground/inside areas, prototypes of the game used a remix the classic underground theme with loud drum samples similar to the Super Mario Bros.Whether this version of Doki Doki Panic was a Mario game or not is still up for debate. What's not as well-known is that Doki Doki Panic was originally conceived as a more vertically-oriented title to begin with. It's common knowledge that the game is a localized version of Doki Doki Panic released as a replacement for the Japanese Mario sequel, which was deemed both too similar to the original game and too borderline- Platform Hell to be commercially viable elsewhere. Interestingly enough, the game as released is what could have been.That is, until the concept was revisited in Super Mario World and finalized into Yoshi. Mario was originally intended to have a dinosaur mount ◊, but hardware limitations proved too much to have this be implemented, leading to it being ultimately scrapped.There were also plans for Mario to be able to fly on a rocket (presumably at least somewhat similar to the plane and submarine in Super Mario Land), and later a cloud, which would later actually happen in the American Super Mario Bros. A later Iwata Asks interview gave a few more details about this - apparently Mario could have had a rifle, a beam gun, or a kicking move. Also, Miyamoto originally planned the controls to be A to shoot, B to run, and up on the control pad to jump, but it was decided that being able to run and shoot at the same time was too much of a Game-Breaker, so it was changed to put both shooting and running on the B button, meaning the jump could be moved to A. Mario was originally meant to shoot bullets rather than fireballs.
The Popeye game was a modest arcade hit and got ported to several platforms while "Jumpman" went on to be the core character of the Super Mario mega-franchise. Miyamoto eventually got his chance to make a Popeye game shortly after making Donkey Kong. When King Features Syndicate balked, Miyamoto reworked the characters to include Donkey Kong, Pauline (or "Lady" as she was originally known), and "Jumpman". Going all the way back to the beginning: Shigeru Miyamoto wanted to have the game that would become the original Donkey Kong to feature Popeye, Bluto, and Olive Oyl (which Nintendo had publishing rights to in Japan).
