This is the GDC 2007 Trailer for Super Mario Galaxy showed off by some Developers several years ago and it looks completely different from what we got in the released game. I edited a YouTube Short of it with some tweaks especially using iMovie and ImgPlay. As you can tell, Boulders looked different, a different Cursor, Mario reused most voice clips from Super Mario 64, and Super Mario Sunshine while some voice clips were new. The Life Meter also contain 8 Piece Lifes in the beta and probably behaved the same with how much health you get hit with specific things kinda like you were playing Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine and saw how their Life/Power Meter worked. In the Final Game that was released on the Wii and Super Mario 3D All-Star's Super Mario Galaxy the 8 Life Meter was changed to 3 Life Meter with collecting a Star Mushroom bringing you up to a 6 Life Meter. In Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2's Assist Mode you might start with a 6 Life Meter instead of a 8 Life Meter unlike the beta 2006/alpha 2007 version showed. I could imagine in Assist Mode if the developers did thought about bringing back the 8 Life Meter for Assist Mode they could replace the Star Mushrooms with 1-up Mushrooms inside of Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2's Assist Mode. Now that would be pretty cool if you could have a Classic 8 Health Meter in Assist Mode making things so much more easier. In the Regular Mode for Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 you would have the 3 Life Meter just like the released game on the Wii has it with being able to collect a Star Mushroom in some Galaxies that would boost your Life Meter from 3 to 6.
