This is a sub-page of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga.
There's a large amount of sprites and leftover text which indicate that making a new drink at the Starbeans Cafe would trigger cameos by different Nintendo characters. The final game instead does various E. Gadd shenanigans. None of the text was localized when the game was brought over to Europe.
E. Gadd#
Would have appeared for the Woohoo Blend.
E. Gadd : Hmm... My sniffer's detecting the
aroma of a new kind of juice...
Cashier : Oh! Professor Gadd!
How've you been, sir?
Are you here to try our new
drink? You can ask those two
there for Woohoo Blend!
E. Gadd : Oh! Just wonderful! A new blend!
How about a try, youngsters?
Hmm... This flavor fills the old
bones with brimming strength!
Yep, a drink like this'll surely boost
my spirits during ghost research.
Listen, youngsters, let me thank
you. I insist you take this.
Hmm... I wonder what I should
invent next...

E. Gadd : なにやら 新しいドリンクの
かおりが するんじゃが…
Cashier : おう! オヤ・マー博士!
久しぶり じゃねえか!
さっそく 新作の味見かい?
できたての アハストレートなら
そこの2人組が 持ってるぜ。
E. Gadd : な… なんと! 新作じゃと!
どれどれ わしに味見させてくれ。
う〜む この味は体力が
メキメキ上がりそうな味じゃ。
オバケの研究も はかどりそうな
気がしてきたぞ。
これは わしからの
おれいじゃ。 うけとってくれ。
さ〜て 次は
どんな発明 しようかの〜

Wario#
Would have appeared for the Hoohoo Blend.
Wario : Ah ha ha ha! Move it!
Wow! Now that I'm here, this
game's finally gettin' good!
Cashier : Oh! Wario! What's a bad dude
like you doing here?
Oh! I got it! You came to pay
your tab from the other day!
Wario : What are you talkin' about?!?
You tryin' to give me a bad rep
with stupid rumors? I oughta...
Cashier : Aww, come on! Just pay up!
I'll even take beans if you got 'em.
Come on! You're a rich guy, right?
Wario : Uh... OK. Maybe next time. But...
Don't you have free drinks for
celebrity guest stars in this game?
Wa ha ha ha ha ha ha!
BLECH! AWFUL!
Do you guys really like drinking
nasty stuff like this?
...Losers.
Ah! Whatever! Hope this
covers your costs!
Blech! Drinkin' that stuff made me
wanna go shave my tongue!
Uh-oh! Gotta go!
|
Wario : ヘロ〜 エブリバディ
|
Wario walking.
Wario picking his nose, most likely an idle stance.
Wario being shocked, either at the Cashier's mention of an outstanding tab or as a reaction to the drink.
Wario laughing.
Wario drinking and belching. Classy.
Seems that drink didn't agree with Wario's stomach...
Fox McCloud#
Would have appeared for the Chuckle Blend.
Fox : Fox here!
Cashier : Hey! Aren't you Fox McCloud,
the Star Fox leader? Are you here
to taste our new juice? No way!
Fox : Uh...yeah. So why don't you
serve me up a cup at your
special guest star rate?
What's that? A call?
A call : Fox! Help me!
Fox! Where are you??
Cashier : Wow! You sure are one busy guy...
Er, I mean, one busy fox!
Fox : Thanks for the discount!
Will this cover the rest?
Mission complete!
|
Fox : やあ!
Cashier : おう! フォックスじゃねか!
まさか 新作ドリンクの 味見に
きたわけじゃ ねーだろな?
Fox : …その まさか さ。
さっそく ゲラストレートの
味見を させてもらおうか?
お? 呼び出しか?
A call : フォックス〜!たすけて〜!
フォックス! どこにいるんだ!?
Cashier : オメーも あいかわらず
いそがしい ヤツだな〜
Fox : ゲラストレート ごちそうさん。
ドリンク代は これでいいかな?
それじゃ また!

Fox walking.
Fox drinking and getting a call.
Graphics for the call, with cameos by Slippy and Peppy.
Captain Olimar#
Would have appeared for the Heehee Blend.
Olimar's dialogue would have been presented in item text boxes rather than speech bubbles, as if he is logging his thoughts rather than actually speaking (befitting of his native series).
Notably, the associated sprites for this cameo make Superstar Saga the first Nintendo title to depict aspects of the Pikmin series as 2D pixel sprites rather than 3D models, predating Pikmin 2's e-Reader minigames by about six months.
Olimar : ...I detect a strange, yet pleasing
aroma drifting through the atmosphere
of this cafe. It would seem to require
further investigation...
Cashier : Wow! This is a rare treat!
If it isn't Captain Olimar!
Olimar : What is this? Before my eyes
stands a strange life form.
It resembles me slightly, so I
shall dub it...Marlio!
...Further investigation indicates
that the drink that this Marlio
holds is the source of the aroma.
I shall now partake of its flavor.
Why! Its flavor is most satisfying!
Finding that such a drink could
be partook of in such a place is
a tremendous discovery, indeed!
This Marlio creature exhibits what
seems to be a longing expression...
Perhaps it will react if I present
it with something...
I have just noticed a strange,
unsightly green creature standing
next to the Marlio... It could be
a dangerous life form. I feel I should
attack it before it attacks me.

Olimar : …なにやら いいかおりが ただよっている。
どうやら このかおりは この辺りから
ただよっているようだ。 この辺りを
少し 調べてみる 必要がありそうだ…
Cashier : おう! こりゃ めずらしい!
オリマーじゃねーか!
Olimar : おや? 私の目の前に
きみょうな 生物が立っている。
なんとなく 私に にているので
「マリオー」と 呼ぶことにする。
…そういえば いいかおりは
「マリオー」の持っている ドリンクから
ただよってくるようだ。
ちょっとだけ 味見してみよう。
う… うまい! こんなところで
こんなに すばらしい飲み物が
飲めるとは 大発見である。
なにやら 「マリオー」が
ものほしそうな 顔をしている…
何か 物をあたえたら
反応するだろうか?
そういえば 「マリオー」のとなりに
見なれない 緑の生物がいる…
キケンな 生物かもしれない。
先に 攻撃したほうが よさそうだ。

Samus Aran#
Would have appeared for the Hoolumbian.
Cashier : Whoa! A power outage?
Yikes! Samus Aran! I see you're
rocking and rolling as usual!
...Looks like your energy tanks are
empty! Sorry, but can't you give
your Hoolumbian to Samus?
Oh! Feeling better?
|
Cashier : お? 停電か?
よう! サムスじゃねえか!
あいかわらず コロコロしてるな。
どうやら エネルギー切れのようだ。
悪いが 今作った ウフマンジャロを
サムスに 飲ましてあげな。
おお! 元気になったか?

Excitebike Racer#
Would have appeared for the Chuckoccino.
Cashier : Hey? Is that the sound of a
motorcycle I hear?
Hey, buddy! What are you doin'?!
This isn't a drive-through
|
!
What? Are you thirsty or
something? Fine, but no need
to get so...EXCITED!
Are your engines on full throttle?

Link#
Would have appeared for the Teeheespresso.
All of Link's sprites have the kanji "仮" in the top corner, which translates to "temporary", indicating that these sprites were likely never finalized. Aside from the marking and coffee cup, they otherwise look as if they came from Four Swords.
Cashier : Whoa! Link! The Hero of...what
is it, now? Anyway, long-time,
no see, buddy!
What are you doing here? Did you
get lost in a dungeon again?
What? You're having trouble
finding the fairy fountain?
Oh... It's game over, and your
bottles are all empty?
Are your hearts filled now, kiddo?
|
Cashier : おう! リンク!
久しぶり じゃねえか!
あいかわらず ダンジョンで
道に 迷ってたのか?
え? ようせいの泉が
見つからねえ だと?
ゲームオーバーか?
ビンの中も カラッポみたいだな。
ハートも 満タンか?

Gifts#
The gift you get when you make a new drink was supposed to be even more specific to the character cameos above. In fact, there's unused text relating to these gifts:
You got the Triforce!
You got an Energy Tank!
You got a Gold Ring!
You got the Game Boy Horror!
You got a UV Lamp!
You got Wario's Gold!
You got an Excite Spring!

ワリオの金貨を 手に入れた!

Triforce |
Great Force |
Most of the gifts' names were changed to be less obvious references to the scrapped cameos. The Game Boy Horror, UV Lamp, and Energy Tank items likely used different sprites as well. Notably, the game's 3DS remake changed the Great Force's icon to resemble the complete Triforce, and plays the "Got an Item" fanfare from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time when the player receives it.
