This article is a work in progress.
...Well, all the articles here are, in a way. But this one moreso, and the article may contain incomplete information and editor's notes.

There seem to be at least two different prerelease versions.

One version shows a gravity indicator in the top right corner of the screen (a little man standing on a seesaw). This indicator apparently got scrapped sometime before E3 2005, which marks the second prerelease version.

A few prerelease screenshots exist, courtesy of themushroomkingdom.net. This article aims to compare between those screenshots and the final game.

Oldest Prerelease

Generally speaking, the art changed quite a bit from the prerelease to the final version. The graphics for Yoshi and pretty much all enemies and objects got refined in some way.
