** Hookbill the Koopa was originally a Koopa/Birdo hybrid, rather than a giant Koopa. This would make Hookbill being able to cough up eggs explainable given Birdo's egg-shooting in ''Super Mario Bros. 2''.
** Yoshi was to have worn skates at some point in the snow levels in addition to the skiis.

** The original plan for loosing Baby Mario, instead of him being trapped crying in a bubble in the final game, had him instead silently crawl around as time for Yoshi to get him back ticked down. This was changed as the team thought there was nothing encouraging players to get Mario back as fast as possible.

** Before Baby Mario, the main character was a baby with a blue robe and wizard hat who would use his wand to transform Yoshi into the different vehicles. The ''Yoshi's Island'' prototype has remnants of him in the Bonus Challenges, during transformations, and at the intro sequence where a wand, instead of the map, falls onto Yoshi's head.

** There may have been points in the game where you control Baby Mario himself without the star, as there are DummiedOut sprites featuring him crawling and even a Yoshi-less victory pose.
** There are also unused transformations for Yoshi in the game, including a mushroom, a plane, and a walking tree.
** There's an oft-told story that Creator/ShigeruMiyamoto's bosses at Nintendo were so impressed with the original ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry1''[[note]]released as ''Super Donkey Kong'' in Japan.[[/note]] that they wanted this game to go in a similar direction, which Shigeru Miyamoto disagreed with, creating the well received crayon-style graphics as an act of rebellion. A unreleased demo called "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OuPAHU9qOT8 Super Donkey]]" had an art style reminiscent of ''Yoshi's Island'' and featured the classic Donkey Kong as a boss.
** A prototype of ''Yoshi's Island'' featured multiple gameplay and visual differences: throwing eggs was strength based, Yoshi couldn't lay eggs, Mario crawled on the ground quietly rather than floating in a bubble crying, the score system had different objectives, the map was more detailed and animated, level segments were in different worlds, and the bottom HUD from the pause screen was part of the main gameplay.

* RealLifeWritesThePlot: Notice how in this game and successive Yoshi-themed games that if you complete them with top marks, you get a red flower drawn on your results? This is actually a tradition/cliche in Japan dating back to primary schools where if the teacher is especially pleased with your work, you get a flower circle drawn on the paper. Essentially, the Japanese version of getting a gold star in America.

In Japan, it was simply called ''Super Mario: Yossy Island''. In all countries, the ''Super Mario World 2'' part is dropped completely from the GBA port, in favor of ''Super Mario Advance 3''.
