One of the biggest mysteries of Super Mario RPG development is the "Luigi Feast", a screenshot that appeared before the game's release in many print publications showing a scene entirely unlike anything in the finished game.

Mario is seemingly attending a feast in an unknown part of the game's world, which includes Toads, moles, and Nimbus people as guests, and is apparently hosted by Valentina. Those three species live in completely separate places in the finished version, and Valentina shows no hospitality to Mario (quite the opposite, with him needing to sneak into the palace and being attacked).

Most importantly, one of the guests is Luigi, who is completely absent from the finished game outside of a tiny cameo in the ending. All of these details seem to suggest that the game's story was very different at that point in development. Above is the highest known quality version of this screenshot that was ever printed (zoom in to view details).
