Prerelease:Super Mario World (SNES)/Sprites

This is a sub-page of Prerelease:Super Mario World (SNES).

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.

To do:

Add hard dates and full file paths for everything
So, so much more...
There's probably a better way to organize these since many files share the same graphics.
Try to make sprite images transparent and only use a couple from the sprite sheet if possible so that everything looks cleaner.
Include GIF renders of .OBJ files (some can be found here)
Some of these are also found in the SNES Test Program and SNES Burn-In Test Cart, verify and mention which ones are.

Most sprites can be found in NEWS\NEWS\テープリストア\NEWS_11\NEWS_11\hino\z-mario-4.

luiji.CGX

Very early versions of Mario and Luigi, the latter of which originally had unique graphics instead of being a palette swap of Mario. Some of Mario's sprites seem to be the very same being shown off here and here. Also, a Lakitu with a square cloud.

MARI-CORE-luiji.CGX

A scratchpad of sprite data for Luigi's distinct graphics implemented in Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World. This sheet is notable for containing a sprite of what seems to be Luigi giving the finger.

v-ram-kabe.CGX

A row of early Mario sprites farther along than those seen in luiji.CGX. Can be seen in the Ghost House pre-release screenshot and some of the Castle screenshots.

Various sprites from Super Mario Bros. 3 updated to 16-bit. Both the Fire Flower and Super Leaf can be seen in the item reservoir in two of the screenshots here. On the far left of one of them, you can also see the ? block.

v-ram-map

A cut elderly Yoshi walking.

A sideways 6 sign.

X-2A.CGX

A Koopaling mask.

A flower with a mustache, both with and without shading. Possibly intended for a post-Special Zone Fire Flower design.

Two early versions of the Fuzzy.

X-2A-nomoto.CGX

An early Goomba.

An early Koopa shell.

Koopa Troopa sprites that are reminiscent of their Super Mario Bros. 3 appearance.

v-ram-ending-TEKI-meka-kuppa.CGX

A coin with a star symbol on it, an idea possibly repurposed for the Star Coins in New Super Mario Bros.

v-ram-night.CGX

Sprites of Goombas, who were replaced with the Galoombas. These sprites are reminiscent of their Super Mario Bros. 3 appearance and are the same ones used by the Paragoombas in one of the screenshots here.

An early Yoshi with the ability to breathe fire.

A scrapped Koopaling portrait that was most likely going to be used in the Ghost Houses.

v-ram-nakagon.CGX

Early versions of the Dino Rhino, from a profile view instead of a 3/4 side view.

Early Dino-Torches.

A strange flower baby creature that resembles a Toad in a flower suit.

v-ram-sora-demo.CGX

An unknown flaming head, possibly intended for the fireballs that Yoshi spits when eating a red/fire enemy.

v-ram-big-killer.CGX

Early	Final

An early version of the Banzai Bill that resembles a standard Bullet Bill enemy more than the final sprite does. Seen in two screenshots here.

v-ram-ghost-ship.CGX

Sprites of Rocky Wrench, an enemy from Super Mario Bros. 3 that doesn't appear in Super Mario World. Similar sprites were used for the Rocky Wrenches seen in the Super Mario World style of Super Mario Maker.

v-ram-mode-7-peach-test.CGX

Early	Final

Early sprites of Princess Peach with bigger eyes.

Early	Final

Early sprites of Princess Peach screaming, with the main differences from her final sprites being her eyelashes and shading.

Unique sprites of Mario standing up straight, curiously capless too.

Other early sprites of Peach. The first sprite sort of resembles the puppets seen during the Lemmy and Wendy fights in the final game, while the second one is... hopefully a placeholder for her screaming animation.

v-ram-chica.CGX

An empty block with eyebrows and glasses.

A coin that's similar in size to the Dragon Coins and probably would've been worth 10 coins according to its symbol.

Another early incarnation of Yoshi with a shorter snout.

v-ram-gosthose.CGX

A big coin with Mario's face on it. It was probably an early version of the Dragon Coins.

chr-stock-1.CGX

Possibly the earliest version of Yoshi, taking on a very lanky and primitive appearance.

An unknown crocodile-like Koopa Troopa.

An early Koopa Troopa sprite.

A small Hammer Bro, an enemy that does not appear in Super Mario World.

v-ram-ending-doragon-house.CGX

A large, orange coin. Considering its size, it may have been a placeholder Dragon Coin. It can be seen in a 1989 screenshot here.

chr-stock-2.CGX

This sprite sheet is exactly the same as the one shown here.

chr-stock-3.CGX

Early versions of the Dry Bones (one of them being similar to its Super Mario Bros. 3 counterpart) and the Bony Beetle.

An early Wiggler. It has a cone hat on its head instead of a flower.

Early versions of the Galoomba.

What appears to be a scrapped Acorn Mushroom.

chr-stock-7.CGX

An unknown large bird.

chr-stock-B.CGX

A sheet of early dolphins and some kind of shark. Sharks would later debut in a 2D Mario game in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins.

An empty big block.

A parascope likely meant for water levels.

Some patches.

chr-stock-C.CGX

A cannon enemy.

A newer version of the parascope.

A mini cannon enemy that can walk.

The Venus Fire Trap (from Super Mario Bros. 3) and a standard Piranha Plant that goes up. In the final game, standard Piranha Plants only go down. While sprites for an upward standard Piranha Plant do exist in the final game's data, the sprite for their vine was replaced in memory with one of the frames of a flopping Cheep Cheep.
