This is a test for a special kind of slope that fixes a bug in the code. (The garbled background is the same one used in Yoshi's Island 1 switching to its tileset with a level editor fixes the background glitch, but a glitchy palette still remains.) This name is also attached to one of the copies of Level 0x30200. It is this last one that is most likely to be a remnant of early game builds, as it is paired with a garbled background, and has the name #2 MORTON'S PLAINS. Once at level number 0x15, the copy used in-game, once at 0x16, a duplicate, and once at 0x17. However, it appears 3 times in the level pointer table. This is actually the (used) level Donut Plains 1. This level is also most likely a placeholder as once one looks at the ROM they will see there are over 60 copies of the level with no changes. In the copy that was originally discovered, Yoshi could not enter the level however, this is specific to that copy - it is not a property of the level as a whole. Mario will also receive a 1-up if he either walks to the end of the level, or slides down the side of the first T, but he cannot receive both. At the end is an arrow pointing into a small hole, and Mario will die if he goes down this hole. The actual level is a short plain with TEST spelled out in turn blocks in the sky. Due to this, this was one of the first unused levels discovered. Actually, around half of the references are directed to this level. Probably the most famous of the unused levels, this is also one of the few referenced in the pointer table. If the player finds a way onto the Switch, the level can be entered it is nearly identical to the well-known TEST level, although it has a garbled background. This glitches the game, causing the player to be teleported to level 00 and get trapped in an endless bonus game. Beating the Secret Exit of Valley of Bowser 3 would cause Mario to walk to this switch palace, except that Valley of Bowser 3 has no secret exit, and there is no path for Mario to walk on. Since it leads to an "empty" level, it is probable that it was scrapped early in development. There is an unused Switch Palace to the left of Valley of Bowser 3.

It also means that most of them do not have names, and those are listed here by their address in the ROM. The majority of these are not referenced by the game's level pointer table, which means that a standard copy of Super Mario World will not be able to play them, even though their data is present. Unused data Unused levels Īmong the data on the Super Mario World ROM, there are many levels that did not make it into the released game. Ī flower-headed, Toad-like creature, supposedly meant for the Fall theme of Piranha Plant Other sprites included a black ball-shaped creature with white eyes and two stick-like feet, a red Power Balloon, a more on-model Cheep Cheep, and circular and square variations of the Triangular Block. 3-styled Lift is also shown among the early sprites. Additionally, a full-grown Yoshi is shown with a head similar to the final version's Baby Yoshis, and that Mario was originally going to punch Yoshi's head in order for him to either extend his tongue or breathe fire. It is likely that the blobs would have been early versions of Baby Yoshis. Alongside this, green and yellow blob-like creatures were also shown. It is also worth noting that Nipper Plants, Chain Chomps, Sledge Brothers, and Hammer Brothers are present on the sheet, the last of which is inconsistently shown with or without shoes between frames, showing that these sprites were not considered complete even before scrapping. In an interview, the developers of Super Mario World revealed two pictures depicting early sprite tiles for the game. 3 lookalike Fire Flower, lower-quality versions of both the Banzai Bill and the Big Boo, and the raccoon tail on the top row of Marios.
