E3 2004 Trailer

To do:
Synchronize the video with the audio (all copies of the video are like this, and simply shifting the audio track isn't enough. Then audio comparisons can be done. Also, crop out the ds and rotate screen to proper angle.

Audio

No music plays
Mario speaks when performing normal jumps.
Mario uses different voice clips generally.
Different sound effects play when hitting blocks, shooting fireballs, when fireballs burst, enemies are attacked and when bricks are broken.

Visual

No HUD is present (on the top screen at least).
Goombas and Koopas use 3D models, the models still exist in the final game (though the Goomba model is used for the Mega Goomba).
None of these tilesets and backgrounds appear in the final game.
Mario uses different animations, reminiscent of Super Mario 64 DS.
Mega Goombas are smaller and animate differently.
Bowser uses a standing pose.

Gameplay

Mario's physics are looser and slightly buggy.
He can perform triple jumps with much less speed and movement distance than the final game.
He can perform backflips like in Super Mario 64 DS.
The ? Blocks do anything when hit.
Mario can move during the Mega Goomba growing cutscene.
The Mega Goomba grows after touching a mushroom that uses a tinted version Super Mushroom graphic from Super Mario 64 DS. The Super Mushroom powerup grows the character to a giant size in 64 DS, much like the effects of Mega Mushroom in the final game and the apparent ability shown in the video.
Mega Mario...
- seems to grow without touching a Mega Mushroom
- can run
- can perform jumps other than the standard jump (in this case, a backflip as seen earlier).

Environment

None of these areas resemble anything seen in the final game.
Coins are never seen in such large blocks, other than in World 1-2.
Bowser is just standing, out in the open.
Bricks are not seen in this layout.

E3 2005 Videos

To do:
crop trailer to screens only, while preserving quality of original file

E3 2005 Demo

Environment

Instead of 2 rising platforms on either side of the room, there is 3 platforms on each wall that appear in the Mega Goomba fight.

Audio

Doors play the "pipe enter" sound effect.

Visual

Red Rings are Rainbow Rings until they are touched.
Mario uses his normal "Course Clear!" pose when he gets a key.

Gameplay

Mario/Luigi can hold 3 items in reserve.

Audio

Lakitu doesn't have a throwing sound.

Environment

This area resembles both 2-1, 2-2, 6-A in the final.

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

The article mentions the use of a drill move, whether or not this was a cut move or a tentative title for the Ground Pound is not known, although the latter is more likely.

Two articles in the magazine Famutsi cover New Super Mario Bros.

Article 1

This one mostly re-uses older screenshots, with a few exceptions.

260px

This mock-up(?) screenshot shows an early design for the volcano levels. The foreground still exists in the final, but goes unused. But the background may be an earlier version.

Nintendo Dream

This screen shows that 2-4 was once an oasis like 2-2.

You had mario 64 type controls with the u turn somersault and r crouched to allow long jumps and crawling. Mainly the levels were gimmicky with pipe cannons everywhere and moving mushrooms rather than the simpler but more intricately designed classic smb approach the final game took" quote from comment posted in August 2012 on "New Super Mario Bros. Beta Level Replica" Youtube video (showing my/mariofanatic64's NSMB beta replica)

Even just knowing this code exists would be great! Because it means that that beta co-op is still in the final game unused! Me and mariofanattic64 are replicating the beta version of new super mario bros by editing the final version and co-op would be fantastic. Here is a video of the remake: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oosiXRTQYug Please Reply Thankyou In Advance From: Joemamma69000 To: mariomadproductions Subject: Re: New Super Mario Bros Bonus Player Basically, you selected any map on the Multiplayer screen of the stupid star battle mode, then it would instead take you to the first level of the original game. The code was in beta so after you beat the first level the game would take you to the Campaign map, but it was f(u)cked up because there were two people on the screen. The code is gone now. It won't be coming back. But, to be honest, it was pretty fun playing co-op. It felt like New Super Mario Bros Wii. I apologize for not having the code. It was a long time ago." quote from mariomadproduction's (youtube) (Hiccup's) (other places) youtube personal messages

SSUK	X-cult	Yes	N/A	No	No	* "The top one [Referring to common beta screenshot other screenshot was of final game] is what it was like in the demo I played... When I get the game myself I'll compare what I can remember... =P" quote from [36] * "I like the 3D in 2D world mix. It's nice, I don't really like 2D in 3D worlds mix though, it can get a bit... Cr(a)ppy looking. But 3D on 2D is awesome, especially shown off in Sonic Rush. From what I played of the demo of NSMB it plays and looks wonderful, the 3D on 2D isn't blocky or disjointed so it was all good. =)" quote from [37] *"So, I just got my copy of New Super Mario Bros. (30 days early and 6 quid cheaper =D) and well... This game is basically completly different to the demo. For one, the jumping feels a bit heavier than what I remember it to be, the button configuration is the same but the music is different to what I recall as well. The music in the final is kind of funky, bleep bleep blop, in the demo I think the music was more Mario 64 style. The obvious HUD change is present as well, I would have liked the whole 3 item holds better than the one to be honest with you. The demo, it wasn't full of 1UP mushrooms all over the shop, but I can expect that seeing as it's a demo... I don't remember seeing any similarities to World 1 and the "feild" demo level at all. In the demo, there was pipe-cannon things EVERYWHERE. You go down one in the demo and it'd mostly just fire you off somewhere. These things where everywhere."Desert" to world 2 is the same, in the demo the cactus with faces things where small like they where in previous mario games, but in the final they're mega-huge. And finally, "fortress" compared to ANY of the starting fortesses (the level was bloody easy in the demo, so it had to be early on in the game) is completly different. But I don't recall much of that level, so I can't really say a lot on it, it's just completly and utterly forgein (sp?) to what I played before.The game itself, I disliked the recycling of old mini-games from Super Mario 64 DS, although it is nice that I now have a set of them in English. =P 1UP 'shrooms are everywhere... However, I don't mind that too much 'cause I'm wearing my "1UP" T-shirt right now... Overall though, the game's great. A bit annoying when you die 'cause it takes you back to the map screen and not carrys on, like you're used to on Mario games. I still play the game too much like the older games (without wall jumping or ground pounding) and can be a bit tedious when getting the coins and stuff.Also, doing different bosses in different ways is a nice idea and adds replay value. A very, very nice game indeed. I love it. =D" quote from [38]
