Here's some of my original test print out renders of characters that I created for Diddy Kong Racing before when it had a working title as 'Adventure Racers'
I take a look at the original TIMBER character that I created way before he appeared in DKR, (my first EVER polygonal model for the N64) and how ASTROMOUSE evolved into PIPSY. (kinda)
All kinds of ideas and concepts get thrown around at any video game company, and often stuff makes it into a game, and of course many games are cancelled and production is stopped if things aren't right. But nothing is ever REALLY wasted. Often work is recycled or used later in future projects, as was TIMBER and ASTROMOUSE before they both went on to appear in Diddy Kong Racing. Timber was re-worked and became Bipedal, and Astromouse lost the attitude and became PIPSY!

Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins (Game Boy) by Nintendo feels much closer to the NES Mario games, with a larger world map, smoother controls, and the debut of Wario as the main villain. Its non-linear level structure was a big step forward for handheld platformers.
Super Mario Land (Game Boy) by Nintendo wasn’t developed by Shigeru Miyamoto, which explains its unusual feel, with enemies like the Tatanga aliens and even shooter-style stages. Despite the differences, it proved the Game Boy could deliver a full Mario experience on the go.
