At this point, the basic controls had been implemented and the game was reportedly 50% finished, featuring 32 courses, although about 2% of mapping was complete. Information about Super Mario 64 first leaked in November 1995, and a playable build was presented days later as part of the world premiere for the Ultra 64 at Nintendo Space World. A group of three would have taunted Mario, and he was able to throw them off of cliffs in turn.

There were once more monkeys in levels that could be chased around.

Developers also wanted to create an animation where Mario throws him by the ears, but this was never added in time.

Mario was originally able to throw MIPS the rabbit, but this was removed.

The crouching trip kick ( Z + B), present in the final game, was intended to be for attacking short/small enemies (presumably, the enemies from Tiny/Huge Island), but the developers never added any enemies that were specifically targeted by that move.

Mario's animations were also originally intended to be entirely mocapped, but the developers took to animating by hand instead.

Originally, there were nearly 250 different animations for Mario, but roughly 50 were removed or rejected from the game prior to its release.

It is unknown whether this relates to the unknown level seen in a later build. It consisted of a basic room that was made of blocks similar to LEGO (or, given Nintendo's history, N&B Blocks), where Mario and Luigi could test out basic 3D platforming and controls.

Initially, the developers worked on a 'deceptively simple' test level.

The team wanted to put him in a Mario Bros.-type minigame instead, but the fact that the Nintendo 64 was sold with only one controller factored into his total removal.

Luigi was removed in February 1996 due to memory issues.

Unused data such as a Yoshi egg can still be found in the game's files, implying that they cut Yoshi very late in development. In order to not waste their work on Yoshi, they put him atop of the castle.

Yoshi was intended to be implemented for some part of the game, but the developers were dissatisfied and they took out the feature.

Level designers started with basic geography, then added more details as time went on. Levels were made using the Nintendo 64's Z-Buffer feature, and most of the design work was done directly on the computer hardware - only a few concept sketches and notes were made prior to jumping into the program. Course design was done closer to the end, and many levels were almost 'thrown together' (this may reflect the nature of level layouts like Whomp's Fortress or Lethal Lava Land, as little changed of them between the Shoshinkai build and the final game).

The developers spent about half of their time working on the basic game system.

Curiously, this model would later end up being used in the Mario in Real Time system throughout the 1990's (you might recognize it from somewhere!).

A picture of the model (originating from 1992) in the making can be seen in a Dengeki Super Famicom article for an 'improved Super FX chip' that was intended to have a Mario Paint-like software tool. According to Miyamoto, the Mario head on the title screen was taken from a 'prototype for Mario Paint 3D', a game which was never released but may have become Mario Artist Paint Studio for the 64DD.The chip was codenamed 'Super Mario FX', but a build was never developed for SNES hardware. Shigeru Miyamoto, contrary to popular belief, didn't conceive the idea of Super Mario 64 from seeing the capabilities of the Super FX Chip.
