Not just about the parabeetles in the grass level, there is also a world 1 image about a gate with a path to the fortress instead of shortcutting it.

Kratos, Flying Omelette appears to be right, just watch this video at about the 2:00 mark: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEvBfczwFWU&t=1m59s

Interesting, i really hope that in the book that comes with SMAS Wii there could be some more beta-info and concept arts :)

I believe that the new Super Mario All Stars booklet for the wii has some papers inside the collectable box that says the game was once going to have a jet pack and space shoes (info from IGN.com). I’ll try to get you guys more information once I buy the game! :D

Flying Omelette, when it comes to older games, hacking can always be the answer to why certain beta things function the way they do. < : The suit has been apparently tried before and does absolutely nothing, meaning the coding for the suit probably no longer exists.

I find it hard to believe that the Toad Suit's original function would be to throw hammers, as it makes little to no sense at all…

The “Toad” sprite is indeed the Hammer Bros. Suit, but it’s the one that pops out of the giant ? block in World 7-8 (as opposed to the one that appears in the item list on the map screen). Check 2:57-3:01 of this video for proof:
