In 2003, Nintendo of Europe's official site for Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga offered a Macromedia Flash program for the game to download. The program simply contained a variety of low-resolution videos explaining various moves from the game, within an original frame graphic depicting Cackletta and Lady Lima. Above is a screenshot of the program.

In the beginning of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, Peach is cursed to have her voice turn into bombs whenever she speaks*. The bombs cause explosions and shake the ground upon falling.

The prototype version of the game also adds Toads falling from the ceiling when Peach's voice bombs explode, which was removed from the finished version of the game.

*this situation is more complex than it appears at that point in the game, but a more detailed explanation of the events is omitted to reduce spoilers for those who have not yet played it.

Out of the five (non-remake) games in the Mario & Luigi series, only Mario & Luigi: Dream Team does not feature the inside of Peach's Castle, with only the outside of the castle being seen in the intro.

However, the game's files contain an unused battle background depicting the inside of the castle, suggesting that some type of tutorial battle could have taken place inside (similar to Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga's tutorial battle against Bowser).
