Super Mario 3D Land features that didn't make the cut - half-pipes, slamming your 3DS shut and more

GN Version 4.0
The following information was either shown or discussed during the Super Mario 3D Land GDC panel. Some ideas were taken more seriously than others, but all were tossed around during development.

- giant Mario where the player would only be able to see his legs
- stretched Mario with freakishly long limbs
- enemy cockroaches that you would kill by slamming the 3DS shut
- "Pro Skater Mario" that has Mario riding a koopa shell down a half pipe
- replace Princess Peach's face with that of a friend

Sounds like there were some interesting ideas...and some that are better left on the cutting-room floor!
