Super Mario Bros. 3 Box Features Mystery Level

While I was researching the design of old video game boxes for an assignment, I happened to come across a unique screen shot on the back of Super Mario Brothers 3. The box featured an unplayable level that I don’t remember ever playing. I find it strange that levels were cut out of the game but left on the box to tease you. Has anyone ever notice anything similar to this happening on other game boxes?

    If you also look at the other two screen shots, you will see that World 1 Map is a bit different. Notice that there isn’t a toad house near the hammer bros by the castle, and the locked door is in a different spot, and level 1-2 is in a slightly different spot, and the slot matching game is on the left of the fortress instead of the right. Also, I don’t remember the 3rd screenshot actually being in the game either, lol.
