Shigeru Miyamoto wanted Mario to have a dinosaur companion ever since Super Mario Bros. but it wasn't thought possible at the time due to the limitations of the NES. He wanted to implement Yoshi in Super Mario Bros. 3 but again could not. Two power-ups were created to fill the gap - raccoon and frog Mario. Co-worker Takashi Tezuka once speculated that Miyamoto's love of horse riding had influenced Yoshi's creation.

Attachment There is an unused item called "The Letter" that occupies the same inventory space as the Magic Mirror. It uses the same sprite as the map, similar to the letter item from the original Legend of Zelda.

Attachment There are 3 unused items in the game's code:
Warp System: Allows you to exit to the world map, disappears after use. Likely removed due to the number of times in the story you're supposed to be trapped in a dungeon.
Sphere: The description reads "Ball?" There appears to be no other use for it.
Badge 2: Again, has no actual use, and is just a recolor of the Leader's Badge.

Attachment In the first level of the game, the Dam, there's a small island near the end which can be seen from afar. The island features a guard tower and an inoperable drone gun with some beta textures. It can only be reachable using a cheat device and a no clipping cheat enabled.

Left over code suggest the player had to travel to the island and retrieve proper equipment to perform a bungee jump. 'Piton Gun' and 'Bungee' can still be seen in the games code, and a Piton Gun is what Bond used in the movie to get to the facility. However, according to Duncan Botwood, one of the developers on the game, it was originally planned for players to investigate the area and find some armor as a reward.

Attachment There are two familiars that didn't make the cut during the transition to the Western market. These are the Half-Fairy and the Nose Demon. They are almost exact copies of the normal Fairy and Demon, but with different graphics. They are still programmed into the Western version, but their familiar cards are no longer available, and thus have to be activated using GameShark codes.

Attachment In its early beta stage, the game was known as Super Mario Kart R. Some differences were Kamek as a playable character who would later be replaced with Donkey Kong. Also there was an option to have the multiplayer screen set to horizontally or vertically, but this was removed in the final version. A number of other small differences were the avatars in the "Character Select" screen, the textures of the "Item Boxes", the feather as an item, and other minor graphic details.

Attachment The twins' house in Kokiri Forest actually has two pots, but the game background only shows one. While technically invisible in-game, Link can still roll in between the two pots, which will result in parts of Link disappearing behind where the second pot should be.
