With Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury now available on the Nintendo Switch, a lot of new gamers are enjoying the classic Wii U for the first time. The title is known for the combination of Mario 2D and 3D platforms, kittenand a four-player roster of Mario, Luigi, Peach and Toad, but it looks like things could have been quite different.
Conformable @Nickoloxx, who claims to have “made a few digs” through the Super Mario 3D World files, it seems that Toadette was once planned to be a playable character. Nickoloxx says: “So far we have found some traces of it in the player’s files. It has a voice line to be selected and we have also found 214 animations for the players.”
This voice line can be heard in the post below; Nickoloxx notes that although they are able to get the file to load into the game on the character selection screen, they can’t break it directly.
So, was Toadette once planned as a bonus player option? Could players have chosen between the two frogs, or should it have been added to the Captain Toad levels – just like in the full game Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker?
Interesting things.
