Cool things in the scans to discuss:
Corkscrew mushrooms which you raise by spinning. Reminds me of Sonic.
Amazing SMW style ghosthouse!
Koopa Kid fight in some kind of castle tower with raising and lowering platforms.
Mario using a POW block to flip beetles in a cave level.
Special blocks you can grab onto above your head (like grabbing teammates in multi), including a propeller block and a ghost block of some sort.
Classic "gazillions of Cheep-Cheeps jumping out of the water" level.
Icy cavern level where you jump onto falling stalagtites.
Peach's presents, at the party with the cake, include a box full of Propeller Suit Mushrooms, and a giant Yoshi's Egg...?
The cloud level with spinning blocks has the dome shaped hills sticking out of the clouds in the background. It looks like a "I will die because I am distracted by looking at the awesome art" kind of level.
"[Our former customers] are unable to find software which they WANT to play."
"The way to solve this problem lies in how to communicate what kind of games [they CAN play]."
Satoru Iwata, Nintendo President. Only slightly paraphrased.
