This page or section needs more images. There's a whole lotta words here, but not enough pictures. Please fix this. Specifically: comparisons

• Mega Star Mario has a very different color palette from the final.
• The wedding structure in the wedding scene area isn't as decorated.
• Count Bleck did not have his cloak down in the early wedding scene.
• Count Bleck creates a basic white particle effect instead of a unique black one.
• Peach is not unconscious when Count Bleck creates the particle effect.
• Bowser doesn't have a shocked expression when Count Bleck creates the particle effect.
• Nastasia isn't behind the alter in the early wedding scene.
• There was originally a ladder shaped Pixl that was removed in the final game.
• Tippi could be used during the big Blooper fight.
• The residents seen in one of the screenshots are unused in the final game's data.
• Peach's hair is down and isn't in a ponytail. Her parasol isn't properly transparent either.

Trailer

• Whoa Zone looked slightly different and darker.
• Mario is seen wearing an astronaut helmet in Whoa Zone.
• The trailer shows the final Mega Star Mario, unlike the screenshots. This suggests that the trailer may depict a later build than the screenshots.

Interestingly, the trailer is called "GCN_Video_PaperMarioBros_trlr_01.mov", despite the game being referred to by its final name in the names and contents of the other E3 2006 press materials.
