For the Game Pikmin and Mario Sunshine:
Pikmin has an unused model,the model is Mario.
Not only that but according to Miyamoto,Pikmin is strongly inspired by the tech demo Mario 128.
From both piece of evidence,These suggest that Pikmin was originally going to be Mario 128.
But there is more,There is also a model of a kuribo(the Japanese name for Goomba)in the games data,oddly this is also the same model of Kug,which is an unused enemy from Super Mario Sunshine.
This strongly suggest that Super Mario Sunshine was also intended to be Mario 128.
