The concept of climbing atop and moving on a large being was originally intended to be used in the final fight against [[Ganondorf|Ganon]] in ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]'', but this was scrapped due to the fact that one would be unable to see Ganon while atop him. However, it was later reused in ''Super Mario Galaxy'', much to the excitement of the development team.<ref>''[[Nintendo Power]]'' Issue 225, page 64.</ref> Megaleg underwent several changes prior to the release of ''Super Mario Galaxy''. In the [[List of Super Mario Galaxy pre-release and unused content#E3 2006 (May 10-12)|E3 2006 demo]] of the game, there was nothing in its cage. The earliest version of Megaleg was labeled "BossCrab", which had a different body design, no nose or mouth, four legs, and a half oval shaped head.<ref>TCRF.
