smallmariofindings:Rare pre-release screenshot of Super Mario 64 showing Mario standing in what appears to be the Cavern of the Metal Cap (although in the finished game, that area does not have a liquid metal pool) or the entrance to the Cavern of the Metal Cap in Hazy Maze Cave (in which case, it is unknown why Mario is already Metal Mario in the screenshot; although in the finished game, it is possible to get a Metal Cap and run to the entrance with it, there is no reason to do so). Also note that with 5 Power Stars, Mario would not be able to access either of these areas in the finished game (needing 8 Power Stars instead), suggesting they were more easily accessible at some point during development.Main Blog | Twitter | Patreon | Small Findings | Source -- source link
