5:51 This is clearly to characterize Luigi as a pious man of God. While all the other racers look ahead, Luigi looks at the sky, following the instructions of our Divine Creator. He has no need to watch the road, for God may lead him safely.
Please stop this nonsense. He is OBVIOUSLY looking at Mario because of brotherly love. And DON'T say this is false, because the Luigi Mansion series proves this is true.
Hi, there is a game that was cancelled but hasen't had much coverege. It's called PAC-MAN Ghost Zone and it eventually became PAC-MAN World (PSX) but it would be better if you did just PAC-MAN Ghost Zone. One of the people who worked on the game tou can easily contact. Here's the link: instagram.com/luceyrick/?hl=en his website: www.drawrick.com/home.html
I'd love to see it as a ROM but I doubt it will happen. I'm sure that cart wasn't cheap and distributing the ROM would be a heavy hit to its value. Maybe if there was a group fundraiser to buy it or something... but that might attract unwanted attention.
Lies serafin, people crawl out of the woodwork to try and temporarily get their hands on carts for dumping, even going so far as to offer to come all the way out there to do it in person
tbh I wouldn't ever be able to share a beta/prototype version of a game because i'm dumb as an egg. i would be able to take screenshots though, but people always think everything is photoshopped these days.
just wanted to drop on a random episode and sincerely thank you for making these for us viewers. I absolutely love every single one of them, and its always so interesting to learn more about games like this. I am in college studying digital media rn and have a passion for games, always have and always will. thanks man!
i am not sure if you mean that peach drinks the champagne XD but yes he forgot it to say that, if i am correct i saw a clip with bowser before doing the same thing as a beta clip
the recent nintendo leak came with this version of mario kart prototype and is the same from this video! so is 100% real, is just amazing! there are more stuff to check in the leaked rom 👀
Another notable thing at 16:26 is the original wasn't as saturated with destructible ice blocks. The player could find a route through it at full speeds on their first lap, but in the prototype this is impossible.
As someone who owns the authentic game on a real SNES and played it for many years, it is very interesting to see what the very first Mario Kart was like during its beta stage, especially the music. Thanks.
Agreed! With a number of 10 unused tracks, a huge pile of unsued graphics and karts, lots of early objects, and a very, very, very interesting and early prototype of the game, Mario Kart DS has the most Beta stuff of all Mario Kart games!
On this episode of Beta 64, we're going to learn all about the development of Super MarioKart. (Sunday afternoon with a pack of chocolate biscuits and a cuppa tea. I'm happy.)
Back then a release was final so you have to beta test as hard as you can before shipping, now is possible to download and install a patch to fix something on the game, I guess developers are some how spoiled because of this
Also when Nintendo finds glitches they tend to fix them like in Skyward Sword that a game breaking glitch had to be patched and Nintendo released a fix for that as soon as they could. They did decide to leave in glitches I think for the Legend of Zelda remake though since those glitches were fun to use. They seem to be targeting glitches that ruin rather than enhance gameplay so I personally like them a lot because of that.
In the early 2000's videogames were updated by just fixing the stuff on them and then putting those new patched versions on the store shelves as a replacement to the old versions, take for example the Grand Theft Auto games, Vice City got rereleased as some lines offended Cubans and Hatians so the new version removed any line that could offend them

hey Andrew, i just wanna say thanks for the awesome content. the first video i've seen of yours was the Wind Waker one and i just want to say after roughly 3 and half years, your content has always been some of the best :D
In some courses, like Mario Circuit 2, the AI racers can epic fail to the point where their race time will be displayed as OUT. So the OUT race time is indeed used in final versions.
I got chills when he said the video went from a length of 6 minutes to 20! ...its a second under 18 but its still a frickin lot! This really made my night!
the Beta Vanilla Lake theme sounds kinda like they were trying to go for a Pirate thing to me(just sounds Piratey in a few parts) lake, pirates, it would make sense, but it came off sounding too Sifi-ish, so they recomposed it. just my theory at least
12:09 to elaborate on the unusual values underneath the drivers in 1st, 2nd and 3rd; it could be the position they had either in the last race or in the first race of the series of races they participated in. Now I know that player 1 always starts of in last place at the start of the first race but in the prototype maybe it was random, or maybe it was another value, who knows?
Great new video. Very informative, and the prototype music is so catchy. Maybe I'm just a sucker for openness and freedom of information in the modern age, but I can't rationalize why previous owners didn't share all this info with us.
I believe we're overdue for GREAT kart games aside from just Mario Kart (as much as I love it to death) in similar respects to the days of Mario Kart 64, Diddy Kong's racing, and my all time personal favourite Crash Team Racing. Imagine if the Crash Bandicoot N-Sane Trilogy did amazingly well financially, we could get Crash Team Racing remade as well ... along with a faithful Spyro Trilogy remake. That would be nice.
Z-Nitro Crash Nitro Kart was the bomb! Though it feels like MK8 copied a little, like with antigravity and different voices for some characters (Ex: Crash & Iggy Koopa).

It's such a shame that the cart has never been dumped online. If anything ever happens to this cart a piece of history will be completely lost.
I thought about that too. This guy absolutely NEEDS to dump the rom somewhere.
I'd love to see it as a ROM but I doubt it will happen. I'm sure that cart wasn't cheap and distributing the ROM would be a heavy hit to its value. Maybe if there was a group fundraiser to buy it or something... but that might attract unwanted attention.

This also Happened to a lost McDonald's ds training game, luckily a guy got another copy and dumped it

Just imagine if the actual Eddie Van Halen owned the prototype for Super Mario Kart...
They'd called it, Mario Kart 5150
I haven't watched the video and I'm already confused.
Just imagine, if for only a second... You could shut the fuck up for once... Imagine.. Crazy Idea, am I right?
@@heideknightgauntlets Jesus.

Why can't these people with rare prototypes ever share the roms?
Because "muh investment!!1!"
they probably don't have the resources to dump them
+Koops Akimoto I wish people were like the guy who leaked the Mother prototype
Lies serafin, people crawl out of the woodwork to try and temporarily get their hands on carts for dumping, even going so far as to offer to come all the way out there to do it in person
tbh I wouldn't ever be able to share a beta/prototype version of a game because i'm dumb as an egg. i would be able to take screenshots though, but people always think everything is photoshopped these days.

Even as a kid that was my first thought too XD
I think you forgot to mention that Peach used to chug the champagne on the ending ceremony in the beta.

Scyhh They were planning it for other versions too
i am not sure if you mean that peach drinks the champagne XD but yes he forgot it to say that, if i am correct i saw a clip with bowser before doing the same thing as a beta clip
Silva Gunner has to get those high quality rips up soon
I wish the owner of the proto-cart would rip the ROM to share with the public, although Nintendo might not be too happy about that.
Someone has a prototype of SMW and they forgot to share it...

Beta64 how to unlock debug mode
Why don't these people dump the prototype roms?
TheTrumpTower! cause it lowered the games value if no ROMs exist people can sell the game for more
gamers in a container Right but I would just dump it then sell it and release the digital rom online.
TheTrumpTower! well it depends on how greedy Van Halen is so we'll just have to watch and see
gamers in a container I bet he will send a current charge through the pins of the prototype cartridge just to spite us.
TheTrumpTower! well we'll just have to see he was nice enough to share pictures and videos so maybe he wouldn't mind putting it up
Luigi's difference in eyes. Luigi's death stare hint?
He's looking up to the Princess.

just my theory at least

Congrats on almost reaching 200k!
16:54 notice Bowser...
