Xion seems to have been named after the Shion flower (more commonly know as Aster Tataricus). In Hanakotoba (Japanese flower language), Shion is used to convey "memory" or "to remember someone." Spoiler:This could be a reference to her being made out of Sora's memories and/or a cruel irony on the fact that nobody remembers her by the end of the game.

The end of the E3 2013 reveal trailer shows Mario making it to the top of a flagpole and being rewarded with 10,000 point as well as an extra life. In the final game, reaching the top of a flagpole only rewards the player with 10,000 points.

This was most likely changed because the player could use the Cat Suit to climb to the top of the flagpole, making it incredibly easy to get a 1-up every time they reach a flagpole.
