Title Screen

Demo Final

  • The green glow on the edges of the screen is barely visible.
  • Generally a simplistic background, with less stars and white lines across.
  • "PRESS START" uses yellow, green, and pink only as opposed to a rainbow color system. It was also positioned higher in the final.
  • The background has a star outline effect that is not present in the final.
  • The star Mario holds is slightly rotated.
  • Boo was rotated slightly and made larger.
  • Rainbow Dream was made larger.
  • Bullet Bill is at a slightly different angle.
  • The blimp on the top-right of the screen is rotated.
  • Because the star Mario is holding is rotated, Green K. Kid and the Goomba are more clearly visible.

Character Select Menu

It uses the same one as the E3 menu found in the final's game data, except:

  • COM in the demo is called CPU.
  • Boo and Koopa Kid are now selectable.
  • Rumble feature is gone because no minigame uses it in this demo.

Minigame Select Menu

  • Uses the same one as the E3 menu found in the final's game data.
  • The demo has five minigames: Coney Island, Button Mashers, Shy Guy Showdown, Dinger Derby, and Pushy Penguins. The E3 menu included eight minigames.
