Super Mario Bros. 2 prototype revealed

Not a huge secret that Super Mario Bros. 2 is one of my favorite games, so it was with a fair degree of interest that I clicked on TMK's article where they got ahold of the prototype of the US Super Mario Bros. 2, in a stage after Doki Doki Panic, but before our final SMB2.
It certainly explains a lot of discretions between what I played on the NES and what I saw in the first issue of Nintendo Power.
Check out the sprites for Mario, Luigi, and Princess. Mario looks more like the Mario 3 version in the prototype, and frankly, I think our final Mario looked better than what was in SMB3. A little white goes a long way.
The Princess' pink eyes are just freaky, though.
Another neat part is the different music. I wonder what it'd have been like if they'd kept the SMB underground remix...
Anyway, just thought this was neat, and wanted to share.

I'd love to see that, if anyone has the media.
Pics are the best I can offer.

That change made this comic even more hilarious:
Quite different.

well, here's the google video results
Enjoy.
"Amazingly, this is not a rendered graphics demo!"
In some ways, it looks like the beta might've looked better than the final.

There's a Conker game for Game Boy, before he became "mature". It was pretty boring.
I'm with you there
SMW isn't a bad game at all but in my opinion SMB3 beats it in nearly every way

Got a little of that going on in the GBA SMB3 with eReader cards...

I would assume all of the E Reader data is already on the Mario Bros 3 GBA cart, and the cards simply unlock it.... that said, shouldn't an action replay be able to access all that stuff?
The cards had the level data. The game them assembled the levels using the graphics in the game.
But like Pata said, they're not on the cartridge.
Yep. It's even been reveresed to print your own level-containing cards.
I'm never going to release my exclusive cards including Airship's Revenge. NEVER!
Series 3 and 4 were never released so the saves don't exist on any game.
EDIT: You could use an AR to boost the amount of Advance Coins you collected to see what little bits they unlock.
I own the original NES version, Super Mario All-Stars (probably twice over on both of those with my wife's collections included), and the GBA version. And I'd gladly buy it a fourth time if they added the new content for a Player's Choice release.
Charge a little more, if they must for more room, just make it available already.

Oops.
Interesting to see how it compares to the final released Amiga version:
... This is the first I've heard of anything like this, there anyway you can hook up someone has apparently been living in a cave for awhile now ... SMB3 was by far my favorite SMB so this is very interesting

It was mostly dominated by Sonic, but there was a good deal of other awesome in there. This thread isn't bad at all either, I think we all like a good dose of what we weren't meant to know.
This stuff is good though
Check the link I posted earlier in the thread, some shots show Mario in World's early betas with a Raccoon tail and such. That's really the best I can do.
Mine too.
Eh, I'm good either way.

I just want a new game with the same gameplay, slightly updated.

Unfortunately just not possible with the things Nintendo wanted to do with the gameplay. Thinks like the Mega Mushroom and Tiny mario were only possible through the use of the 3D models, as were a lot of the nice lighting effects. Sprites have to be completely redrawn for every variation, and while polygons don't don't look as good by and large, the amount of manipulation you can do with them (and which Nintendo took full advantage of in NSMB) is vastly increased.
Really?
But those two items were gimmicky (the Super Mushroom is pretty much just a variation of the Star Man). They could make a new Mario game with nothing but the Fire Flower, Feather and Star Man and I would be happy.
