It seems as if [[Flower]]s were going to appear in the game, which was once called by '''Yoshi's Island 64'''. Also, [[Big Guy]]s were going to appear and [[Bone Dragon]]s would be purple, flesh-covered dragons rather than bony, undead ones. Finally, [[Jungle Puddle|Stage 4-2: The Jungle Puddle]] was known to be much scarier, with strange bubbles and a Bone Dragon. Yoshi was also gonna use the same noise he did in [[Super Mario World]], but for some reason, it was removed. There was also going to be a playable [[Brown Yoshi]] and [[Purple Yoshi]].<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7NFp4UodwE Source]</ref> In a manner not unlike the various rumors of unlocking [[Luigi]] in [[Super Mario 64]], there are rumors of unlocking and playing as a Purple Yoshi. All of these rumors, however, are false.

The game's working title was '''''Yoshi's Island 64'''''. The early logo looks similar to the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] game ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' logo, implying that ''Yoshi's Story'' was originally planned as a sequel to said game and would have been a title in the [[Yoshi's Island (series)|''Yoshi's Island'' series]].

This is a list of pre-release and unused content for the game Yoshi's Story.

Early ideas[edit]

The game's original name and logo.

The game's working title was Yoshi's Island 64. The early logo looks similar to the SNES game Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island logo, implying that Yoshi's Story was originally planned as a sequel to said game and would have been a title in the Yoshi's Island series.

Early builds[edit]

As seen in early footage and screenshots, there was originally going to be a playable Brown Yoshi and Purple Yoshi.[1] However, they were replaced by Pink Yoshi and White Yoshi in the final game. Special Flowers were set to appear in the game,[2] but did not make it to the final version. Big Shy Guys were going to appear[3] and Bone Dragons were to be purple, flesh-covered dragons rather than bony, undead ones. They also looked less sinister. Also it appears that these flesh-covered dragons would have appeared in a more vibrant looking cave rather than the dark one seen in the final game. Slugs also had eyestalks rather than having their eyes attached to the tops of their heads in the final game.

Stage 4-2: The Jungle Puddle was known to be much more menacing, with large bubbles and a Bone Dragon. Jungle Hut also looked different than the final version. Yoshi also used the same noises he did in Super Mario World and Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, likely as placeholders until the voice was decided on.[citation needed]

An unused theme can be found in the game's files. It may have been used for another Page.[4]
