Luigi's Mansion: Classic Creep Capers
Technically not a rejected game, rather a rejected title for Luigi's Mansion 3, due to the name having been taken by Scooby Doo: Classic Creep Capers for the Game Boy Color. Nintendo almost realised this too late, hence why the final game lacks a subtitle.

Super Mario: To The Sky
A DS title, this game would have been a series of levels focused entirely on the wing cap mechanic from Super Mario 64. Strangely, the only known build of the game doesn't use models from Super Mario 64 or its DS remake, but rather his Mario Kart DS model, with rendered legs.

Wario Land 64
A Nintendo 64 title, where you would have controlled Wario in 3D. This would eventually become Wario World for the GameCube; however, in "Wario Land 64" builds, the objective was much more sinister.

Super Mario 99
An early concept for a "Tetris 99" style Mario game, which would eventually become Super Mario Bros. 35. In "99" builds, however, the game was based on New Super Mario Bros. U, rather than the original Super Mario Bros.

Virtual Mario Bros.
A Virtual Boy title, where you would control Mario in first person. The only known build of the game contains bright flashing goombas who chase after the player in a simulated 3D environment. Unfortunately, the game didn't get very far in development before being scrapped.
