Super Mario 64
Super Mario 64 (1996)

Attachment In an interview with Satoru Iwata and Shigeru Miyamoto, it was revealed that an early, experimental build of the game had split-screen multiplayer, with Mario and Luigi as playable characters.

The game's planned multiplayer mode ended up being reworked into a Mario Bros.-style minigame thanks to the Nintendo 64's technical limitations making the split-screen concept unfeasible. However, in February of 1996 (just a month before E3 of that year), both multiplayer mode and Luigi were removed, in part because the Nintendo 64 was bundled with only one controller. These statements are corroborated by findings from the Gigaleak, a massive content leak of internal data from Nintendo in 2020 that included early assets from Super Mario 64. Among the leaked material was a model and textures for Luigi and sprites for "1P" and "2P" icons. Luigi's model is dated June 20, 1995, while the icons use the same generic font seen in the Shoshinkai demo from November of that year, rather than the custom font seen in both the E3 1996 demo and the final release.

Attachment The battle backgrounds are actually 512 pixels wide by 256 pixels tall. However, only a 240x160 pixel area is visible during play, a little more than 25% of the total image. It's possible that they were intended to scroll during battle. The final battle has some scrolling, and the concept was later used in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story.

Attachment Within the game's data are two unused characters. One of them is simply named "Debug Minion", and was probably used for testing. The other, Sniper, appears as a green-skinned troll with a large pistol and sniper rifle, similar to an earlier design of Boomer. However, his stats screen displays a red version of Spyro.

There are a number of unused messages hidden in the game's data. There's are also a number of messages hidden in the binary from the developers, likely as either a joke or as placeholders.

Attachment In an early prototype build, the Dark Future segment of the game was slightly different. There was also a "cyborg dolphin" boss that was removed from the final release. It was said to be a mini-boss that also had a machine that would drop canisters that would break upon landing. The machine, having not been finished at the time of the prototype yet, uses a crab for a placeholder.

Attachment A tenth playable character called Subordinate Bomber was planned to be in the game, but was cut for unknown reasons. He can still be played by hacking the game and has a complete set of character animations, but has no character icon in the player select screen. The game will freeze on the victory screen because he has no voice clips.

Attachment There was originally going to be a necromorph called the "Flytrap", but the enemy was scrapped sometime during development. It was going to be both an environmental hazard and a regular enemy, intended to encourage the player to slow down, without feeling like an artificial gameplay mechanic. Both of its hands and feet would be stuck to a ceiling, and the skin on its stomach and chest is missing. It would have used its internal organs as a dangling lure, and attacked the player when they got close.

Attachment Within the game's files are a number of unused images referring to Shantae, another character created by WayForward. It's possible that Shantae would have appeared as a playable character at one point during development, but was later cut. This is speculation, but it is evident that Shantae was at least used as a placeholder during development.

Attachment Through the use of a Gameshark code, it's possible to enable a feature that ultimately went unused in the final game. After a player's turn ends, their HUD will turn yellow, and a big "NO GAME" sign will appear before moving on to the next turn, instead of playing a mini-game. If it's the last turn, a big "GAME OVER" sign will appear, and the board ending will play as normal.
