*The pre-release boxart of the game featured part of a screenshot of Mario in the [[Sand Kingdom]] shivering (due to the cold weather when first arriving)  wearing a sombrero and poncho. In the final boxart of the game, this picture was instead changed to him swimming underwater in the [[Lake Kingdom]] due to [[List of controversies#Super Mario Odyssey box art change|controversy]] surrounding the original image being described as a negative stereotype of the Mexican people.

*In a poster for the game, [[Isle Delfino]] from ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' could be seen to the top left of the Mushroom Kingdom. Similarly, in an early version of the globe texture, it is seen to the top right of the Mushroom Kingdom. It is nowhere to be found in the final game, although upon close inspection, there is a small bump on the globe's final texture map that is roughly where it was in the poster, to the top left of the Mushroom Kingdom.<ref>[https://youtube.com/watch?v=rIP9Pn5ScpE]</ref>
*The aforementioned globe texture also reveals that the [[Cascade Kingdom]] was originally shaped like a T-Rex skeleton rather than a triceratops, the [[Lake Kingdom]] was missing, the [[Wooded Kingdom]] was shaped differently, the [[Lost Kingdom]] was not surrounded by [[Poison (obstacle)|poison]], the [[Seaside Kingdom]] was positioned differently, and the [[Luncheon Kingdom]] was shaped like a fork rather than a volcano. Also, all of the areas were green (except for the [[Snow Kingdom]]), whereas in the final game, some of the areas are in different colors, such as the [[Cap Kingdom]] being black.<ref>[https://tcrf.net/images/6/6d/Super-Mario-Odyssey-Globe1-Unused.png]</ref>
