A number of Nintendo characters from other games were originally going to appear in the Starbeans Café. Captain Olimar, Samus Aran, Fox, Wario, an Excitebike Racer, and Link would have shown up and each given the player an item. E. Gadd would only have shown up on the player's first visit to the coffee house. The items the player receives were also different.
