A few Paper Mario fans are making an INCREDIBLE mod for Sticker Star that is setting out to make the game significantly better. It looks amazing so far and I love the fact that the scrapped Chain Chomp partner and the S-Meter from the early builds are in this mod.

so apparently someone on TCRF pointed out that a strange skeletal head possibly resembling king mander seems to be present in the luigi newspaper screenshot for drybake stadium, so i had to reconstruct based on what i am seeing, and it appears that person may be correct

In an early screenshot of Super Paper Mario, a pipe resembling the Return Pipe can be seen outside Bestovius's house. There is also a Brick Block in place of the final game's Save Block, and two rows of coins in the space behind the steps instead of just one.

Characters that appear in the E3 2010 builds of Paper Mario: Sticker Star (including the trailer and screenshots). Many use their TTYD/SPM designs but there are a few new designs, mostly for species making their debut in the Paper Mario series.

The TTYD Remake actually has some remnants of Color Splash and Origami King's sprite style in the game. The characters in many pictures and posters in-game lack shading and have thinner black outlines; the only thing they are missing is the white outlines.

The TTYD Remake seemingly used several different art styles for characters throughout development, including CS/TOK-style sprites, CS/TOK-style sprites without the white outlines, shaded sprites with white outlines, and shaded sprites without the "paper-cutout" depth effect.

In the art gallery of the Paper Mario TTYD remake, there is a render of Koopie Koo's early design. This matches the Koopa Troopa design found in the original game's files, so this was likely from a similar point in development when it more closely resembled Paper Mario 64

In the Paper Mario TTYD Remake, interestingly, there are unused graphics of the unused badges from the original version of the game.

Early concepts for Lord Crump, the X-Nauts, and Grodus from Paper Mario TTYD. Grodus's design looks drastically different from the final game, but he still has the staff.

Interestingly, the mushrooms in the Paper Mario: Sticker Star E3 2010 trailer heavily resemble those in Super Mario Galaxy 2.

In the trailer and screenshots of the E3 2010 version of Paper Mario: Sticker Star, there is a ceiling on the fortress battle map meaning that some enemies, such as Swoops or Buzzy Beetles, may have been able to cling to the ceiling similar to Paper Mario 64 and TTYD.

There are a few subtle differences between the Paper Mario: Sticker Star E3 2010 screenshots and trailer such as the area with the Whomp and the back of the hammer sticker. It’s possible that the screenshots are from an earlier build than the trailer. (Left: Screenshots, Right: Trailer)

Happy New Year!
2024 has been an excellent year for Paper Mario beta discoveries including Nintendo officially releasing TTYD concept art via the remake and the E3 2010 trailer finally being found after nearly 15 years. Hopefully, we’ll continue to make some interesting discoveries this year.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door contains unused early status effect messages in its files. The message for losing all effects (i.e. going back to normal) translates to "You've become obscene".

You've become obscene.
Original text: 猥に　なった
Another possible translation would be "You've become indecent."

In the E3 2010 build of Paper Mario: Sticker Star, there is a Blue ! Switch that has a very similar appearance to the ones in Paper Mario 64.
