The Mario character Nintendo rejected
In Super Mario Wonder, there's more playable characters then ever before - Peach, Daisy, Toadette... but there's one character you won't find in the game, or indeed, in any Mario games at all. And that's because this Mario character was rejected by Nintendo's creative powerhouse, Shigeru Miyamoto himself!
Thanks very much to CometMedal for creating the artwork of how this character might've looked! View both pieces of art in full quality here:
