If you've watched my SBOK6 dev commentary video, you'd know that I mentioned drawing some track layouts. I could only recall actually doing this for SBOK6 and later, until recently.
A few months ago, probably a lot more now 💀 I was clearing my room and found some WarioWare notebook. I believe it came with the game on the switch as a preorder bonus? Either way, I was looking through it and found drafts of some SBOK3 courses. I sent some of these to IlluZhion and I was going to make a topic or a video then I never did.
Looking at the contents of this, I probably made all this around after YL2 was done. That makes even more sense as the Lost SMK Hack ended there. Though it still contained PP1, which is why that isn't here.
(Also, I took these images on my phone so they'll probably look shit.)
The track order. It remains the same, although Hot Highway 3 was not changed to Bowser's Castle yet. Honestly though, I imagine a HH styled track with the layout of the final BC would've been much different.
YL2 and RR3. These both ended up quite different.
CBC1 and HH2. CBC1 remained the same, but HH2 didn't feature the area on the right yet.
RR4 and MS2 (with the wrong acronym here. MTS2????) Both are a lot different, especially MS2. This looks like a different track. It might have even gone the other way!
YL3 and CBC2. YL3 is way different. CBC2 is surprisingly close though, only missing a shortcut in the bottom right.
PP2 (haha funny) and LL3. PP2 is a mess, holy shit. Like more than the final version. LL3 is practically the same though, with the only missing thing being the alt routes and shortcuts.
This is where the SBOK3 stuff ends, as I most likely improvised RR and BC. But I did find a plan for unlockables in SBOK4 in this same book.
A Chain Chomp boss? I don't know how I'd do that. And, it looks like I hadn't given Petey Piranha its proper name. But one thing interesting is Rosalina Peaks Summit. As you could guess, this was an early concept for Hailing Heights. I have to say, HH probably was the most planned out SBOK4 track. I spent a WHILE coming up with ideas, and I didn't make a plan document for SBOK4 - I only started doing that midway through SBOK5's development. So this is the one track that wasn't completely improvised.
Finally, this isn't in the same book but I still found it and thought it was worth noting.
A battle arena, most likely meant for SBOK4 (would make sense as it probably became BSD after there were two donut tracks planned) called "Bonbon Bleachers". Goofy ass name. But still, it's cool. And Bowser Munch (???). Feel free to make a real arena out of this, because I sure as hell won't! Unless I run out of arena ideas, but uh, I don't see that happening.
Thanks for wasting like 20 minutes you'll never get back reading this!
