Early beta screenshots of Paper Mario / Super Mario RPG 2 showed that Poochy was going to play some sort of role in the game. Another screenshot showed that Nep-Enuts were going to be in this game also. Also the early version of Forever Forest showed that it would be much smaller, with all the forest’s trees having sinister faces. Paper Mario was also originally going to be named Super Mario RPG 2, though due to complications involving Square Enix, the makers of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, the name was changed to Super Mario Adventure and later Paper Mario. Also, it was originally in development for the failed Nintendo 64DD. However, it was released in cartridge. A screenshot had also shown a strange, beta Whale. [Info from Mariowiki]
Also, in an Iwata Asks interview, they shared a super early Mario RPG 64 concept:
Yeah, we really did. And most of all it was a Mario game! We couldn’t determine the route to take with visuals. At first, we broke into teams and worked in parallel on making about three sample models.
Oh, it’s from 15 years ago on March 5, 1997.
It’s made of 3D polygons, but I drew it to have an atmosphere like that of a picture book transplanted into a video game—with paper-thin 2D background and characters.

Hey?! That bridge Mario is on with the blue monster is in Paper Mario the thousand year door! It’s the same thing only without the blue monster!
Kinda. It looks like the bridge that’s in Keelhaul Key that leads to the Pirate’s Grotto, but it’s way different than this one. :/
That blue monster was in Yoshi’s Island wasn’t it?
lol mario threw a weed on a hyper goomba’s head lol
where to download rom? o.O
I have the gameshark code for the unused items, key items, unused badges, and unused stages.
What are the codes?
This “blue monster” you’re talking about is a Nep-Enut from Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island.
