I don't know if the Japanese final's title screen is any different from this, but judging from the European final. Even more simplified than the Game Boy version from Game & Watch Gallery 1! This is a super-simplified of Classic Manhole. The only differences I notice are Peach is playing an animation that isn't in the final (I think), Yoshi isn't at the very bottom of the screen, there don't appear to be any clouds over the moon, and that miss icon is totally different. The Paratroopa is the only decent upgrade, changing from a crappy Super Mario World sprite to something good. Peach still looks terrible, DK hasn't had any changes between the two, and prerelease Mario looks like he'd fit right at home in an Asterix book, although whether his miss icon could is questionable. Man, the sprites in the prerelease are barely any better or worse than the final's. It's been a while since I tried 2-player, as I can't remember if your character's miss icon comes up if you're spook'diddled or fried'didda'lied, but either way, it doesn't for DK in the single player game, and DK's miss icon is totally different there. Mario's sprite is just a Super Mario World sprite, and DK's is a touch different. The vine's leaves are different from the final, the tree and it's leaves at the top are undetailed and green, Mario and the miss icon are a touch different, and all the greenery is bluey in the final. Mario and Luigi's sprites look different, with the brothers looking shorter. The only differences I see are there are block splotches in the bricks on Luigi's side, and the parcel is slightly different. Nothing appears to be changed, other than the Mario sprite, which looks pretty silly in the prerelease, with the "grinnin'-like-a-fool" face and all. I ain't playing the game for hours just to get 824 points for all the characters to appear. The final difference is that the "moon metre" is a star in the prerelease.Īnd yeah, I cheated and chose Super Hard instead of Easy. Toad doesn't seem different, although Mario is significantly different, looking wider and beefy, like his old SNES era design. Luigi's hat has a coloured brim, and a smaller hand. Wario has shrunken, and has a grimace on his face, unlike the final, who's bigger than Mario, and looks like he's in deep fear of moon men from the planet Jupiter who are controlling our politicians, and the only way to stop them is via repelling their mind control beams with tinfoil hats. Peach's face is slightly different, with a slightly more cube-ish crown. isn't symmetrical there, despite him facing the screen. Bowser has what looks like a uni-brow in the prerelease image, and his face is different in general. Looks like something from A Link to the Past with that bad shading.Īll the sprites appear to be different in some way, ignoring the colour saturation. That's the only animation it has, the heart used has it bursting, but this stupid heart is just that one frame. In the game, no matter who fails at life, Mario is blamed for it.Īmong the Boxing tiles lurks this badly sprited heart. tiles, and it appears to be an alternate "miss" icon, if Luigi screwed up. He barely looks like Mario from that angle! I'm glad they changed the sprite, as this is god awful. It looks very like the Super Mario World Mario sprite, but isn't used in the game.Īnd this appears in the tiles of the Donkey Kong game. This little sprite is among the tiles of the Mario's Cement Factory game. Game & Watch Gallery 4 unused materials / early footage
