The first and last pictures look like they're from the same level because of the similar graphics, or at least they're from the same version of the game.

No they are not the same level. The first one is an early version of 3-1, whereas the last one is an early version of 8-3. And yes they're both from the same beta.

How do you know that it was from a specific level ? A lot of things have changed since this version, they could have moved the level from a world to another.

Because I compared them and they look a lot similar.

But that's not enough to prove it.

And in the beta Mega Unagi screenshot, the Unagi follows Mario. 8-3 is only the level in final to have such a thing. (4-3 Mega Unagi doesn't follow Mario, it simply goes left and there're lots of them).

What I mean is that this level could have been any level before being moved to 8-3.
And/Or mega unagi was maybe supposed to appear in another/other levels.

Exactly. These things can't be proved with the current information.

We also need to bring the coin counter next to the timer.

Mm.. Well, both coin counter and timer weren't always on that location during the whole 'NSMBDS building process'. In an old beta, those signs were on the bottom screen:




Another thing, it seems Nintendo wasn't going to use Star Coins at first. Maybe that's the reason why Mario was able to have three items in stock. I mean, you need Star Coins to buy Item Toad Houses. Maybe those Toad Houses also weren't implemented back then.


EDIT: Moving the coin counter and counter to the center would give problems with Mega Mario.



As you can see, while being Mega Mario, those signs aren't visible anymore.

Ehm... In the beta the bar of the things that Mega Mario destroyed there was not... So it needs to remove (if they exist) the graphics of the bar.

See the Mega Mario bar.

We might be recreating the beta, but we can leave the bar there, it's more convenient.

You know the E3 World map icons right?


But I thought there was also another E3 image with another Worldmap Icons. It was on a screenshot of an early Worldmap. I don't fully remember how the Icons looked on that image, but the W1 Icon looked (sort of) like this:


I drew that


Hopefully someone knows which screenshot I am talking about.

I assume you mean this.

Thanks, that indeed is the image I meant



What a shame we're not able to see the other seven icons, but only their shapes.

I'm wondering how they would have looked like.

Well the first world is the old World 1. As for the others:
World 2: Looks like several pyramids, instead of one.
World 3: Resembles World 4 from NSMBW. In the airship stage of World 4.
World 4: ????
World 5: Either it is a volcano or a mountain.
World 6: Same as World 5 kinda.
World 7: It kind of looks like a Para-Beatle over some clouds. I guess that was originally going to be their first appearance?
World 8: Resembles something I saw in the first RPG of the Mario Series. Quite interesting. (I have never played Super Mario RPG but I've seen it)

So those are my theories.

That's hardly evidence.

Lolno. I'm pretty sure they didn't exist yet. And um, if you look close enough, all it looks like is a cloud and its shadow.
