According to former Capcom member Seth Killian, Rolento's name was supposed to be "Laurence" when he was in the developmental stages of becoming a character, but due to the L and R confusion in the Japanese language as well as the additions of vowels at the end of words in transliteration, "Laurence" became "Rolento". Judging by Japanese transliteration however, Neo_G may have meant the similar name "Laurent" (ロレント), as Lawrence would have instead been rendered as (ロレンス).

Attachment In the first level of the game "Two Up" you can find a Purple Crab that does not appear anywhere else in the game.

This is because as the developers were making the game, they ended up not liking them as much as the Yellow Crabs, and the consoles didn't have enough memory to use them. But they kept this one.

According to producer Yoshiaki Koizumi. Pauline was originally conceived as the princess of New Donk City, but the idea was later scrapped and she became the mayor of New Donk City instead.

"In the past we used to have a game taking place in a city, and Mario also appeared in it(which pointed towards Pauline). At first they wanted to make her the princess of New Donk City, but the world setting of that city doesn’t have princesses. That’s why she became the mayor instead.”

Attachment Rabbid Princess Peach originally had a transformation sequence inspired by Sailor Moon. While the sequence was cut from the game, Davide Soliani stated that the test sequence was made by animators who were desperate to hit the 1000 character animation requirement for character combat.

"When you have to create 1000 animations per character just for the Combat Phase, animators started to go crazy. This was 2 years ago.."
