ThatРІР‚в„ўs massive, especially compared to the 8 rooms we actually got in the final game. As in, the amount a large hotel might actually have on a single floor in real life. Why? Because the artwork for RIP Suites shows the area was going to be significantly bigger at one point in the gameРІР‚в„ўs development: Note the signs saying which rooms can be found to the left and right of the doorР”Р„s you can see, the floor originally had 40 rooms. However, that might not be the case for the next item on the list. TheyРІР‚в„ўre both fantastic designs overall, and ones that could have easily worked in the final game had NLG gone that direction. Instead, it reminds us more of BowserРІР‚в„ўs Castle from Mario Kart 7 over anything else, with the same sickly shade of green used for the light pouring through the windows: This however, this looks incredible, and would have made for a great looking foyer HereРІР‚в„ўs the hallway from BowserРІР‚в„ўs Castle in Mario Kart 7 to compare Whereas the second one looks absolutely nothing like anything seen in the final game. The first one looks a lot like the finished one, albeit with a much more prominent ghost statue/fountain in the centre: Though the fountain would have been neat to see included Such as the Foyer, which has two entirely unused designs sketched out for it.Р”В«oth of which are incredibly interesting in themselves. Since just like with the boss ghosts, the art gallery contains a fair few concepts for both individual floors and the Last Resort as a whole. Instead, letРІР‚в„ўs look at a few neat unused designs for the hotel itself. Still, enough with the boss ghosts for the time being. Regardless, theyРІР‚в„ўre nowhere to be found in the final game, so we can do nothing but speculate right now. Or were the images just planned for the paintings you see in the foyer instead? Perhaps instead of evil instruments with glaring eyes and pointy teeth, youРІР‚в„ўd be greeted with pictures of Amadeus playing them in various comical poses instead. Would Amadeus have played different instruments throughout the stage as a way to fight Luigi? Could they have all somehow factored into the boss battle with him? ItРІР‚в„ўs a neat image, though it makes us wonder what the actual plan might have been here. ThatРІР‚в„ўs because in the gallery for the Great Stage, you can find this amusing image of him playing a wide assortment of instruments rather than just the piano: Apparently Amadeus Wolfgeist isnt just a pianist, but a musical polymath Speaking off boss ghost changes, it seems Amadeus Wolfgeist may have gone through a few minor changes in development too. This may or may not have been a good thing given the reactions many players had to the boss battle in the final game, or the randomness involved in whether Potter will ever be left vulnerable to your attacks.Р”В®ither way, it was clearly cut out early on, and the one headed Venus fly trap remained the only variation used in the boss battle. ItРІР‚в„ўs unknown whether this would have been the case early on or whether the plant would grow multiple heads every time the boss took damage, but regardless, itРІР‚в„ўs clear the battle was originally going to be a fair bit tougher than it is now. This presumably would have made the fight a bit trickier overall, since the plant would now be able to attack from multiple directions at once, as well as potentially throw Luigi around like a pinball on top of that.

Note the three headed plant in the black and white image to the left Namely, he was going to fight with a three headed Venus fly trap at one point in development. Starting with an interesting change in the design for Dr Potter. So in this article, IРІР‚в„ўm going through the interesting ones, and speculate on how they originally altered the look and feel of the game. Indeed, with a development cycle spanning two console generations and numerous revisions of the core concept, the game almost certainly has all manner of unused ideas lying around that never made the final game.Р”Р„nd now thanks to the art viewer, we can now see a few of them for ourselves. Whether itРІР‚в„ўs Breath of the WildРІР‚в„ўs unused Divine Beast and Guardian designs, Super Mario OdysseyРІР‚в„ўs scrapped kingdom and NPC designs or the hundreds of cut Pokemon from the Spaceworld demo, their games have loads of great ideas that never made it into the final game for one reason or another. As you all likely know from this site, NintendoРІР‚в„ўs games always leave a ton of interesting concepts over on the cutting room floor.
