Prerelease:Super Mario 3D World

This page details prerelease information and/or media for Super Mario 3D World.

This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion. Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?

To do: Document E3 2013 demo and October demo. Concept art, 2

Early Ideas

• Yoshi was considered for inclusion during development, but Nintendo ultimately decided against incorporating him. As Kenta Motokura noted, the game already contained mechanics similar to Yoshi's abilities, such as the potted Piranha Plants (which can eat enemies), Peach's floating jump, and Plessie.

_{Note: The third screenshot isn't one of the full-res screens released in the press kit, but a low-res copy did was embedded in the press release from the same press kit, and a higher-res one of unknown origin can be found on some game news websites, which is the one embedded above.}

Prima Games Screenshots

To do: I have the full guide, I just need to specify comparisons with the final game's screenshots. -Glitchedblood

On PrimaGames' website and their according guide, oddly enough, early screenshots can be found from the game's intro cutscene.

• 

  When one of the Sprixie Princesses comes out of the pipe.

• 

  Bowser interrupting the situation.

• 

  World 1 with missing UI.

• The skybox is more of cyan-ish color, instead of purple like in the final game.
• The lightning is brighter.
• Pillars appear to be only green colored and there are less of them.
• Trees have a different, round shape and there are less of them too.
• The flags on top of Princess Peach's castle are rotated to the left. In the final, they're rotated to the right.
• For some reason, Peach and Toad don't cast shadows while being shocked. In the middle screenshot, Peach does get a shadow, but then it's removed from Mario and Luigi.
• Super Bell Hill appears to be less detailed.
