This implies that either there was a bridge to Pinna Park, the train is a subway, or that Pinna Park was not always on the tail island. Pinna Park is among the listed locations, as are several other presumably island locations. Given the locations listed, this would have been the primary means of accessing levels in the game. As a number of the locations listed are landlocked, it must be concluded that these files belong to a scrapped train system for the island. One contains a list of stations and harbors for the levels, while the other contains dialogue for buying tickets and getting them stamped. Its only contents are two message files, named station.bmg and system.bmg. The Japanese version of the game contains an extra ARC that was removed from later releases, named message.szs. More kinds of goop are available in the game than are actually used, including goop that acts like quicksand and goop that instantly kills Mario when he touches it.
pack was actually Nintendo's third favorite choice, with many other forms of water-pump functionality suggested. The water meter was originally placed in the center of the "sun" Health Meter.
Shine Sprites' design went through radical changes during the development.Īdditionally, Mario's Health Meter would simply be a sun with a number in the middle indicating his health. Gooper Blooper was going to be dark blue and fought on top of the bridges of Ricco Harbor instead of in the market and helicopter area. The build also reveals that humans were intended to be citizens of the plaza. It also appears that in the E3 2002 trailer, the giant Strollin' Stu and Dango would chase Mario around like a normal Strollin' Stu. The enemies were removed and the plaza was changed to one closer to the final by the next trailer. However, in trailers before release, it showed that there was going to be a different plaza (or a possible early Delfino Plaza), with a giant Strollin' Stu-like creature called "Hinokuri2" walking around the place, spawning Strollin' Stus (themselves having a design that looks similar to Hinokuri, additionally more closely resembling Goombas), with many other elements not seen in the final. In Super Mario Sunshine, Delfino Plaza is the main plaza of the game.
