User blog:OliverDuckandToad11/Super Mario Odyssey pre-release changes

In demos and trailers of Super Mario Odyssey, you may have noticed some changes to it unlike the final game, here I'll be listing all the changes of the game in both trailers and demos.

First Look at Nintendo Switch
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5uik5fgIaI. We only see the Sand Kingdom in this footage, but there are quite a lot of differences that can be seen.


 * A huge lack of detail was missing from the buildings in the Tostarenan town, probably because they weren't implemented yet.
 * Some of the ice formations around the town are missing.
 * The cactus in front of the pink building where the Jaxi stop resides has a different design.
 * The Bowser posters on the many buildings of the town are missing, possibly to prevent spoilers of the game's plot at the time.
 * The Checkpoint Flag in front of the town is missing.
 * The Jaxi sign in front of the town has a different design.
 * The Tostarenans in front of the town are in different places, as the one in front of the Jaxi stop is green and it is jumping instead of walking, the Tostarenan in front of where the Checkpoint Flag would be is missing and the Tostarenan next to the door of the Crazy Cap is purple. Purple Tostarenans do not appear in the final game.
 * The rocket that appears on top of the yellow building on the left side of the town is missing.
 * The yellow and purple stack of hats next to the Crazy Cap entrance and the sign with the Crazy Cap's name are both missing.
 * One of the cactus that appears on top of the yellow building behind the purple building next to the Crazy Cap is missing.
 * The moon in the level's background has been rotated 90 degrees and its texture had been changed.
 * The flowerpot next to the window on the top right of the building on top of the Crazy Cap store is missing.
 * There are less amounts of icicles on the power line that leads through the town.
 * The ice formations around part of the ruins were removed in the final game.
 * The sign that appears near the Checkpoint Flag in the "Tostarena Ruins Sand Pillar" area is missing.
 * The black sign with the image of a skull that appears in the quicksand near the Bill Blaster in the final game is missing.
 * The line that the moving platform moves on near the Bill Blaster is also missing.

Nintendo Switch Presentation 2017

 * There are several changes around New Donk City in the trailer, these changes are:
 * The sign above the Crazy Cap shop has a different design and the two large signs with the Crazy Cap logo above the sign do not change, or move up and down and stay simply static.
 * Many of the billboards were different in the trailer, most notably the billboard that advertises "Steam Gardens", it has a blue background instead of a red one and it says "KOGWALD" instead of "Steam Gardens" as this was the intended name for the kingdom.
 * The words "DIXIE THEATER" on the large sign next to the Crazy Cap store are 2D-looking, while in the final game they appear more 3D-looking and have a different font.
 * The two tower-looking structures on top of the two buildings to the right of the Crazy Cap store were removed from the final game.
 * The tower-looking structure on top of the building to the left of the Crazy Cap store was also removed in the final game.
 * The Taxi that the player can capture to reach the sub-level in, has a normal Taxi sign on top instead of the capture knob-looking thing.
 * The fling pole near the New Donk City Skyscraper has been moved slightly further back than the final game.
 * A crate can be seen on the fire escape of the house on the end of the street on the right leading to the New Donk City Auditorium instead of two cardboard boxes.
 * The graffiti on the building near the iron girders is missing.
 * The blue tarp on the platform near the Odyssey is missing. The grass in New Donk City has a darker shade of green, the triangular building that leads into the room where the player has to escape from the T-Rex has iron girders and a fan on the roof instead of planters like in the final game. The Ground-Pound Switch on the other triangular building is missing.
 * Pauline cannot be seen stood in front of the New Donk City Auditorium entrance, however a woman wearing a grey dress can be seen stood in front of the entrance, this could most likely be an early design of Pauline, or her model wasn't finished yet, so they used a New Donker woman as a placeholder model for her.
 * The Odyssey has a slight few changes on it, such as the image of the hat on the Odyssey's door has been moved more further up and it is smaller then it was in the final game, the cap rim is also longer.
 * Cappy's eyes were removed from Mario's cap in every scene of the trailer, this is only to hide Cappy's existence until the end of the trailer.
 * In the Sand Kingdom, the cactus in front of the pink building where the Jaxi stop resides, still has a different design.
 * The Power Moon on top of the yellow building in the alcove-looking part in the Tostarena Town is missing.
 * The regional coins on top of the yellow umbrella that is situated on the table in front of the Crazy Cap in the Sand Kingdom is missing in one scene, though the coins are present in every other scene however.
 * The starting area in the Wooded Kingdom looks more darker in-appearance.
 * The Big Poison Piranha Plant that the player has to kill to receive a Power Moon in the Wooded Kingdom in the final game is missing, though the rainbow-sparkling effect is still visible, though this could be because it is from a distance.
 * The Rabbit in the Luncheon Kingdom isn't wearing a hat and is shown running across the crystal-looking food objects, where in the final game, the Rabbit is located in front of the Peronza Plaza.
 * The two female New Donkers that hold the Jump-Rope Challenge in the Metro Kingdom have switched sides in the final game and the man that appears behind the skipping rope has black skin instead of white skin.
 * The cutscene at the beginning of the game also has a few changes in the trailer:
 * The lighting and models look slightly different.
 * Bowser's hairstyle is different, more resembling his ordinary hairstyle seen in past Mario titles.
 * The airship's textures are slightly different and the shade of purple on the airship's body looks more vibrant then it does in the final.
 * Mario is shown with his hat on, in the scene of Bowser's hat flying towards him, while in the final game, Mario's hat gets knocked off during the fight between him and Bowser.
 * The Castle Grounds are not visible around the airship, as a purple sky is shown instead.
 * Peach looks substantially different in the scene where she cries "MARIO!", first her eyes are a different shape and her dress is more darker, the lighting shown on her is also different and the voice clip used when she shouts "MARIO!" was reused from Super Mario Galaxy whilst in the final game, Peach shouts "MARIO!" in a more high-pitched voice.
 * The airship's carpet is also less detailed and lacks the gold features on the carpet.
 * The 8-bit murals in the walls of the Sand Kingdom, the wall after the Sand Geysers, the tower and the Inverted Pyramid are missing, though this could be because they either hadn't been implemented yet or they were removed because of spoiler reasons.
 * The Coin Rings above the Sand Geysers after the Checkpoint Flag in the "Tostarena Ruins Sand Pillar" area are missing and have been replaced with normal Coins.
