Super Mario 128 is a cancelled game first shown at SpaceWorld 2000. It was a tech demo and a potential game for the GameCube/Wii. This game has 128 Marios in the game. The Marios could manipulate the terrain by bringing the structure up and down, and they could also change the board to a pizza. This was to test the large amounts of bots that the GameCube could handle, a deed that was nearly impossible for the Nintendo 64.

In 2005, Reggie Fils-Aime said that Super Mario 128 would make an appearance at E3, but it did not. That same year, Miyamoto gave some information on the game. He said that Mario would be in a game with a new character by his side and that it would not be on the GameCube but on the Wii.
