Official Website
To do: determine when the page was published/when these screens were added to it. starting point: https://themushroomkingdom.net/history_2003.shtml |
The official website for the game at http://www.nintendo.com/gb/smb/ and http://www.gameboy.com/smb/ has some early screenshots. The site refers to the game simply as "Super Mario Bros.", despite the box art image showing "Super Mario Bros. Deluxe". Information on the save featured is marked as "TBD".
HUD
The HUD uses a different style than the final. From left to right:
- The font is the shadowed style from the Japanese Super Mario Bros. 2. The final just uses the one from the original game.
- An "S" is present next to the score display, which was removed from the final.
- The timer has a "T" to the left, which was replaced by a clock icon in the final.
The last two changes were likely to make the HUD less crowded and easier to read.

The bush has eyes like it did in the Japanese Super Mario Bros. 2. The final uses the graphics from the original game.
