Trailer

General

• No HUD is present (on the top screen at least).
• None of these tilesets and backgrounds appear in the final game.
• No music plays.

Player

• Physics are looser and slightly buggy.
• Uses different animations, reminiscent of ones in Super Mario 64 DS.
• Can perform triple jumps without much speed, like in SM64DS.
• Can sideflip.
• Mega player
  • grows without touching a Mega Mushroom
  • can run. This ability is re-introduced in NSMB2.
  • isn't just limited to the standard jump - he can sideflip.
• Speaks when performing normal jumps like 3D games.
• Uses different voice clips.
• Different sound effects are used for shooting fireballs and fireballs bursting.

Objects

• The ? Blocks use different graphics don't do anything when hit. The "?/! Block break" sound from SM64DS is uses when they are hit.
• Coins use different graphics and the sound effect is lower pitch/
• Goombas and Koopas use 3D models and the "enemy defeat" sound is the same for all different attacks, and is the "defeat enemy" sound from SM64DS.
• Mega Goomba
  • Its smaller and has different animations.
  • Mario can move during the Mega Goomba growing cutscene.
  • It grows after touching a mushroom that uses a tinted version Super Mushroom graphic from Super Mario 64 DS. The Super Mushroom in SM64DS makes the player giant, rather than acting like it usually does.
• Bowser uses a standing pose, doesn't move and appears in an overworld area.

Level

• 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.
