#mlss prototype

I have already made a few posts about a couple enemies I found (a beanish Hammer Bro and Pea-pod Goomba) and Jinx from SMRPG being hidden in the prototype build, but I just recently discovered several more (pretty bizarre) scrapped enemies.

First there's a two-headed Chain Chomp with the body of a regular dog. It, like a lot of these scrapped enemies, don't have any animations.

An enemy that resembles Diskun (Famicom mascot) but with angry eyebrows.

A Lakitu being whipped by its cloud.

A bizarre enemy made of shells.

A flounder enemy with a boot print on its side.

A regular Chain Chomp that slightly resembles how they look in Paper Mario.

here's my first batch of sprite sheets!

wanted to show how radically different bowletta is from the prototype compared to the final game

more to come : )

There was an earlier design for Bowletta found in the prototype! She looks a lot more like Bowser, but has sunken-in eyes and more of a mohawk. She has quite a few early animations, and you can kind of see how these eventually became her final design.

Laughing

Angry (I could only find the side sprite)

Shocked

Shocked & pointing

A new unused enemy has been discovered for Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga! I was checking through enemy sprites in the recently found prototype and found this enemy. They appear to be similar to Troopeas and other beanish Koopa Bro species.

Jinx from Super Mario RPG was going to be in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga.

The first looks very similar to beanish people from the final game, while the second appears to have a bean mustache.

It is unknown what the animation may have been intended for, though it appears the characters are blushing and something is happening to their hair.
