I’m just glad Nintendo archived the level and didn’t permanently delete it. It’s nice that they care about their game’s past and didn’t destroy it forever.
Indeed unlike companies like Square Soft who just kept hitting the delete button on projects like FF3, FF7, and FF8 leading them to practically rebuild the whole game from scratch for porting purposes later
Beta stage 1 seems like it was made back when the main objective for nearly all the stages was to make it to the flag at the end. While with beta stage 3, they were testing out the concept of a wide open interior for Peach's castle, but ditched the idea once they realized it would have been rather boring to traverse.
Yeah that makes sense since it's a pretty small level. Originally I was thinking that maybe it was one of those special levels where it has only one star, but this also would make sense too.
fun fact: the push-blocks in whomp's fortress have names. my memory is by no means the best, and can be best described as random, but one of them is called gary.
What I think that castle/fortress might be is maybe a beta wet-dry world? Notice how big the level is and that getting to the top might have required raising the water level

The Obsessive Gamer ds version is easy to complete if you want a challenge attempt a hat in time collecting every yarn, hat, token, time piece, death wish contract, badges, camera filter and clothes. Including dlc
I hope that their is a remake that has all 32 planned stages, larger stages, the graphics of mario oddessy and slightly more level and music variety but still keeping that creepy, nostalgic, happy feeling the n64 and ds version had
Even a few years later, this video is still a fascinating watch... I actually wonder about some of the levels shown in the B-roll footage that aren't seen anywhere else, like the old Jolly Roger Bay, with a very different sunken pirate ship, and a strange Boo-filled room with dark brick walls and a blue carpet. I don't think anyone knows how these levels would've looked back in those testing stages.
Beta Stage 3 would have been cool to use as a Bonus like stage riding off Super Mario World for the SNES like collecting all the coins and receiving some kind of reward. I honestly feel that was what it was intended to be originally before it was discarded.
the red spike that you need to moonjump to reach, that most likely was used to test the second bowser stage where he is on a red platform that if he jumps, it tilts and sends mario to the lava if you are not careful. using the levitation cheat you can see the spike under the platform and kinda looks like the same red tip (the rest is under the lava)
Whoa, the fortress tower thing also reveals that the platforms became literally all the same object when the decision was made to make then the same shape. I guess I'd always assumed that the moving ones were different objects than the non-moving ones because of the movement.
Okay I keep getting asked here about this, but let me set the record. THERE ARE NO DOWNLOAD LINKS TO PLAY THESE MAPS. I don't have the rom for, the footage is from others who are credited that never released the rom in the first place. As well, I don't release roms whatsoever as I want to avoid the Nintendo Ninja's when I can. Lastly, this isn't the kind of channel to release roms simply cause we make gaming documentaries and entertainment.
@@TheObsessiveGamer i remember encountering a water mine (sorta like the unused object) in sm64ds, it was at the entrance to the cove area in jolly roger bay. i swam into the water mine for some reason and it hurt me i can find literally nothing about this online, so this is probably either a false memory or a dream i had
him: *has 130 stars* me: me:*realization* me:there is 120 stars in the game that are collectable, but their is 1 more start which makes it 121 stars but its impossible to collect (location is exposed but its still uncollectable)
If you are referring to that star found in the Penguin Slide, I believe it is actually a problem of decompressing the Rom that made it look like there is one there when there isn't. Swankybox explains this one I believe
@@TheObsessiveGamer I know the stage names donjon (Alpha Castle And I Know That Because I Have A Official Cartridge Of 1994 Sm64 From Nintendo) Town (stage 1) Athletic (it is a practice test for Marios Physics And it's stage 2)
This video is a little odd, bceause it's pretty obvious that some lines were stretched slightly to get it over eight minutes, but there's no ads at all, midroll or not.
I don't intentionally extend anything. Also I didn't have many subs back then for 8 minutes to matter. It was a few more videos down and even then the Mario Kart video is only 6 minutes long despite having a good pool of subs then.
@@TheObsessiveGamer No no, don't get me wrong, I know you like to keep the videos concise, there's just a couple lines that felt like padding. Forgive me if this isn't the case, but it is impossible to tell.
Well they model for the whole level was found and found to a set scale already, so when they imported Mario in, he was whatever size the scale of the level was.
they may be both castle/fortress like levels, but I do personally think they are separate just cause nothing about the levels are even alike. Though not entirely implausible.
I'm assuming all the used levels in the leak were identical to the final version then, aside from the Whomp Fortress platforms? That's a bit disappointing
Yeah pretty much, though that one I wouldn't call Whomps Fortress. We need an even earlier leak to have the beta versions of levels like Snowmans Land in their original form. Hopefully one day
Thank you very much for this video. I was really interested to this theme, but can you give us ROM of this version with theese beta levels? Maybe in description or in answer to this comment? Thank you in advance!
Glad you enjoyed it. Unfortunately I don't have the Rom and footage is from others who made these hacks. I have listed them in the description, so best to ask them. Also I legally can't give out roms otherwise the Nintendo Ninjas may be on my case rofl
I imagine you mean "Test" Map, but no there is nothing that indicates that this is a test map. It doesn't have the simplistic design of one, the checkerboard pattern, the solid colour patterns, and the file name even does say it.
@@TheObsessiveGamer the small mario head has random black pixels. So is the star, numbers and X's. They all have random black pixels surrounding them and it looks bad.
@@GayKermit-._-. that is how the filtered texture looks when blown up to 1080p. The N64 ran two types of hardware smoothing filters that worked well for CRT tv's back then but not modern displays, thus when we play them like this, it looks like this. The 3D All Star's version used new high resolution graphics in place, thus those looked good. Here, we have the absolute original textures.
I wish you used in-game sounds, and not a simple track over it. You are descriptive, yes, but hearing the sounds of the second map would've been far better.
Yeah I wish I had looking back on this video but from what I remember the footage that I got for this didn't give enough time on the floor to really hear the foot prints well enough.

@@orestes1984 Yep as I mentioned in the video, it's pretty clear it's an interior of Peach's Castle especially with the wall murals
I think the most interesting part of these levels are all these unused textures, they look really good.
That is very true. Especially with that crazy stage 3 texture
Makes you wonder how many textures were cut to fit the game onto an 8 MB cartridge
The first level looks cool
your voice is so friendly and nice to listen to! Thanks for going in depth about what the test levels were for and stuff! subscribed!
Appreciate it! Hearing comments about my voice is always nice. Thanks for the sub, i'll plan to keep making videos.
Fun fact: donjon in japanese means "fourth floor", so the 3rd level in the video, was a cut floor.
fun fact: the push-blocks in whomp's fortress have names. my memory is by no means the best, and can be best described as random, but one of them is called gary.
I believe the spike at 4:23 was there to test that Mario can't climb very steep surfaces.
