I found these on lazy shell earlier:
Alright, the first set of sprites represents the HOLLOW signs mounted above the doors of the houses of nimbus land. They can also be seen in the V-Jump 95 video, here's a screenshot to prove it:
As for the brair post and the giant pitcher, there is a smaller pitcher in the final version but they were used indoors of nimbus land, the unused giant pitchers were meant to be outside I guess. The brair post might have something to do about the HOLLOW sign. The boquet of flowers were found in the tileset of the ending scene where valentina and booster were getting married, I think they were used as a decoration for somewhere around the church. The belome gargolye only has one pose facing to the righ in the final version, but the one facing left is unused. For the mushroom people, this might take place during bowyers attack on rose town, only the young mushroom people close their eyes in the final version, but we don't see these old people getting stuck as of now.
Hope you like my findings, maybe were close to uncovering the beta nimbus castle i guess.

| BTW, i'm trying to look for more beta info on the japanese version of SMRPG, and i'm planing to do it with the vSNES. If anyone who has good experience with vsnes can you give me a tutorial on how to load and play roms and how to extract sprites from it? Thanks. |

Another discovery, I think i've found the beta pallet for the beta nimbus castle interior, so I decicded to tinker with it and still couldn't find the beta doors and walls. But how the tables fit perfectly with this pallette just like the screenshot.
Hope to find more soon and please comment. |

BTW I forgot to add this:
It's supposed to be a shark elbulm that was found in the sunken ship's tiles. I think the graphic was used as a placeholder, and that 30 thing might be a developer's marking. |

Yeah, I made mention of those unused palettes a long time ago here, and even came to some of the same conclusions you did.
I noticed the Hollow sign and briar post then as well, but thought that they were some obscure props from the ending that I couldn't remember.
Here's my attempt at reconstructing the palette for the former:
 
The post is the perfect size to be used as a perch for Dodo... coincidence, or not?
As for the early Nimbus Castle graphics: I looked through all of the graphics sets in Lazy Shell already, and found nothing. Unless there's an off-chance that they still exist in the ROM, completely unreferenced by any tables, the graphics are probably long gone, just as the ones for Bowser's Keep.
That is why garbled maps exist that use these palettes--they were once the rooms you see in those screenshots. Over time, the graphics and tilemaps were overwritten with data used in newer maps.
Maybe there would be more unused sprites in the japanese rom, I mean they changed a few things in there like the file select. So its justa suggestion. |

Also I took advice from mat about the perch for dodo and I think it might be used for the battle with valentina, so this is what i got:

Another discovery, this came from the v-jump video:
As you can see the buzzer once had a pose facing back. But those poses aren't found in the final game. |

Ok, so I found an unused cloud that got replaced by the nimbus clouds.
Hope you like my discoveries so far, you know you can also submit other stuff beta smrpg worthy here too. Just a suggestion. |

It really stands for Unused SML2 tiles and sprites. Wish I could edit the title, but how? |

There st be more beta scans of SMRPG, but I did find this on ebay:
As pointed in green arrows this magazine has the cover of mario in the beta forest maze, this is because as shown in the v-jump video the bark of the trees were colored blue like in the battlefeild in the final version. But you have to buy it in order to scan it, and I even didn't see a scan of that magazine anywhere. Well, I'll keep looking now. |

Found this solid map segment that was hidden in booste's tower. It represents the screenshot next to it.

Feel like making this topic interesting... by adding some remakes of the beta screenshots!
I could do some more if you want. |

Big discovery guys, I think I found the structure for bowser's beta castle, still haven't found the tiles for it but i'll keep tinkering and looking.
Also, if there is an extreme way of looking for beta stuff in therom that would be great, even in the japanese rom. |

| So I'm trying to load the japanese rom of super mario rpg on the vSNES but I seem a little lost with it. So is there a way to load roms onto vSNES at all? BTW I looked at the vSNES website and looked up broken games and SMRPG is one of them. Could that be the problem? |

What and where is this magazine? Maybe I can get it like I did with those Famimaga magazines I buy.
Oh I saw it on ebay, maybe try typing in Famimaga magazine if you want it. |

Small discovery, this screenshot contains 2 beta paratroopas without the skull like heads in battle, but mario has a spell that requires 2 flower points. It could be the jump spell which requires 3 flower points in the final version.
