Centaur Mario

Centaur Mario is a rejected concept for one of Mario's forms for Super Mario Bros. 3. In Nintendo Power volume 10, page 21, the Centaur concept is provided as an example of various power-up ideas that "tended toward having Mario turn into some sort of creature". The developers eventually settled on Raccoon Mario instead.

==Physical appearance==
As the name states, Centaur Mario is a centaur form of Mario: a human head, torso, and arms joined to a horse's body and legs. The user gets ears like those of the Raccoon form, four hooves, and a long-haired tail.
This form can be obtained after grabbing a Super Horseshoe.
==Powers and abilities==
In Centaur form, a character can dash rapidly, and jump somewhat higher depending on their speed. However, they turn slowly and take up more space, making them a larger, clumsier target. In some games, the character will slide down slopes if standing on them, as the sprites weren't designed to accommodate the hooves being at different heights.
Though able to swim, Centaur Mario does so less efficiently and elegantly than Mario's other forms, making it a rough complement to Frog Mario.
