World 2-1 would have, originally, a giant Used Block near the start. Possibly a beta Roulette Block that turns into a used block when hit. Also there were no yellow spotted jumping platforms after the cutouts of Goombas. They appeared in the final game. In the early World 2-3, the Super Mushroom platform had a yellow cap, and less features. The Mario platform had a Warp Pipe.

Mystery Boxes were orange with a "!" printed on its faces.
Invincibility Leaf and P-Wing
