So, I wanted to know what you guys think about them and give your thoughts of why they didn´t stay in the final product.

OMG I love you MP64
I've been looking for this for the longest
I wonder why nintendo didn't use these mini-games
But thank you for posting it!!!

I found in the internet about two more unused minigames, one called "Tour de Mario"(something related
to a bike race) and this one:

That's suppose to be the chance time I think

Oh yeah, I remember those. I used them for Daily Facts.

I wonder why they didn't use them though. But I think the bike race would have been cool to add, as it sounds fun.

I've seen them before, I wonder why they didn't add them... could of been time constraints, or maybe it was just too hard to create. I know they had finished the Yoshi one.

The Block Puzzle one
The coins shoulda been higher like 1, 3, 5, and 10
And in some cases, that Block Puzzle could've been impossible to solve and they needed to make thousands on puzzles so that it wouldn't be repetitive

The Yoshi one
The mini-game is nearly impossible to do due to the fact that there's a speed variable and they needed that text to do so as well and once you have text for one mini-game you have to be uniformed and do it for the other mini-games too

The Block Puzzle one looks fun while the Yoshi Tongues one looks kind of hard to do...

Hmm, why we haven't seen those in later games?

They could have been beta games, and so in which they were never used.

These are very interesting finds, MP64. I'm curious as to why they were removed, though.

Was there a video for Tour De Mario?

Same Game (the puzzle one) - works well, but the time limit seems a little excessive (I'd make it 45)
Yoshi's Tongue Throw - ignoring Luigi's position L) this is icky. DISLIKE
Beta Chance Time - seems odd for a 1P minigame
Tour de Mario - I guess they could've used Skateboard Scamper mechanics for it or sth

Really I would've liked to see Same Game in there otherwise I think these were just beta ideas which were ignored or possibly planned for future titles (especially the text use and variable speeds).

This is fascinating, I never imagined there being any unused mini-games. i wonder why they were removed? they look pretty good to me, especially Same Game.
