This prototype of Super Mario All-Stars is identical to the final version of the game.  Thanks to Predatorxs and Mike for information on this prototype.

1|This prototype has been known for some time, and I have had an article on it since 2003.  Predatorxs made a thread on Digital Press displaying this prototype (along with a similar Earthbound prototype) in August 2003.  The prototype was likely originally used for review by a magazine in Europe.  Predatorxs sold the game in mid-2009, presumably to Mike who now owns the game.
1|In July 2010, Mike dump the ROM image of the prototype.  It turns out the prototype is bitwise identical to the version 1.0 USA release of Super Mario All-Stars.  I suppose this shouldn't be surprising, considering the cart itself states that it is "USA Version ROM - Final/NTSC".
