Pre-release screenshot of Super Paper Mario that was distributed widely in magazines and on websites in 2006, well known for featuring a ladder-shaped Pixl that does not appear in the finished game.However, another notable aspect of this screenshot that is overshadowed by the scrapped Pixl is the fact that it depicts the game in a Chapter 3-2 state (as that is the only chapter in which the Big Blooper boss is fought), and yet Tippi is present. In the finished game, the entire plot of Chapter 3 revolves around Tippi being kidnapped by Francis, so that she is absent from the party from Chapter 3-1 until the end of Chapter 3-4. Her presence in the screenshot suggests that either the plot of that chapter was evidently completely different at that point in development, or alternatively, that Big Blooper could be fought more than once.Main Blog | Twitter | Patreon | Small Findings | Source -- source link
