Development files for Super Mario World contain an unused "Flower Toad" character (left), which based on the location of its data, appears to have been planned as a friendly NPC that Mario could have talked to.
The character has an extremely close resemblance to Hanazukin-chan, the mascot of Expo '90, an international gardening expo taking place in Osaka in 1990. As the expo would have been going on at the time of the game's development, it is nearly certain that the character was intended to be a reference to it.
Interestingly, 33 years later, Super Mario Bros. Wonder introduced the Poplin species, which are a different take on the same "Flower Toad" concept, also being a Toad-like species with flower heads.
