Super Mario Galaxy/Early Objects

Billboarder & Pals
A character made entirely of flat textures that always face the screen, which are commonly referred to as "billboards". He has a whopping 50 actions, ranging from running, jumping, various types of punching, and wall climbing. He can even punch while wall climbing! There are two closely related models, billbird and billdog. You can guess what they are.

Boss Crab
An early version of what would become Megaleg. This model has three related models, bosscrabcannon, bosscrabcannonswitch, and bosscrabkiller (note that "Killer" is the Japanese name of Bullet Bills). It has a full range of motions, including one for the introduction demo before the boss fight. This boss can be seen as a shadowy figure on the underside of the Starman Fort concept art in the Prima guide.

Bubble Blast Small Wall
It seems a smaller rotating wall was planned for Bubble Blast Galaxy, but it was scrapped. The model is named CubeBubbleExRotateWallS.

Element Blocks
A set of blocks probably used for testing. The final version of SMG does not use any hidden blocks.

Normal Block
A simple block model with a complex texture and normal map to go with it. Each side of the block is unique.

Normal Map Board
An image used to test normal maps.

Normal Map Object
A lumpy planet with a unique texture. It was probably used to test normal maps.

Note8
An early music note model with jiggy wiggling action. It has animations for success and failure, as well as files for various colors. This was replaced with the final note model before the E3 reveal.

NPC DUMMY
First off, he prefers to be called "Test NPC." And would you look at that! He wants to give you a hug!- You wouldn't deny him a hug would you? Would you?

OceanFloaterTowerRotateStepC
Part of Buoy Base Galaxy that never quite made it past planning.

OceanRotateStep
A solid white hexagonal platform, very similar to the floats eventually used in Buoy Base Galaxy.

Revolving Way
A planet with a hole in it. It probably rotated.

Rolling Box
The precursor to Tox Box, with a yellow square indicating the safe zone. The GroupInfo file for it refers to something by the name of NormalAnaBokoGoroIwa02.

Sample Object
A 2m cube. What else is there to say?

Seesaw Move Nuts
Three early versions of the rotating nut platforms in Dreadnought Galaxy were left in, under the names SeesawMoveNut, SeesawMoveNutA, and SeesawMoveNutC. The first two are identical, while Nut C is a tube shape. The model used is SeesawMoveNutB.

Super Supin Driver
A very early version of the Launch Star with a unique stained-glass texture and a misspelled name. The final name for the Launch Star is SuperSpinDriver.

Sweet Decoratee Orange
A small typo left this model in the game. It is one letter away from the model for the orange slice platform used in Toy Time Galaxy. Notice the kanji 仮, which means "Temporary".

Turtle
A prototype version of the robotic turtle found in Dreadnought Galaxy. The name, SpringWaterTurtle, corresponds to the name of the planet, while the final model's name is OceanSmallTurtle.
