During September 2015, Donkey Kong Country designer Gregg Mayles posted many pieces of concept art and early pitches for the game, including a binder named Donkey Kong vs. Super Wario.[1] No other media of the pitch was posted and when asked about its content, Mayles responded "Didn't get much beyond Wario and some kind of time machine as I recall."[1] Eventually, he posted an actual storyboard of it to Twitter, showing Wario stealing a time machine Mario invented and turning him to stone using a "futuristic beam gun" to "rule Nintendo Land," with a parrot seeing this and going to Donkey Kong for help.[2] According to Gregg Mayles, this pitch was not pursued because Nintendo wanted the villains to be new characters.[3]
