My hypothesis on this is that the levels are segmented. If you've been paying attention to the level select screen, Mike and James commonly run into the Giant "M" when they select the last "level" in any of the sub categories, (EX Cave 3 or Egypt 3.) The only real way I can explain this is by looking at the original Mario for instance; My bet is you all know how you can enter a pipe in Mario 1 and still be in the same level. I believe that the levels in this mediocre Mario game were supposed to operate in largely the same manner, except the level transitions (EX the pipes,) weren't implemented at the time. I'm putting way too much thought into this than I should, but unfinished content, as well as debug menus interest me a great deal, regardless of the games quality. BTW, if you're wondering why I didn't explain the giant "M" in Ship 2, secret exits, that's how.

Felix Velazquez Yeah.... I mean in some levels you dont even know where you can jump. Just like the CDI zelda games. Most likly it would have horrid cutscenes.... LOTSA SPAGHETTI. TOO MANY TOASTERS.....
This was ungodly unfair of them to bash this game as being bad. No, it wasn't "unfinished" or even "partly done". This was made as a demonstration to Nintendo as to the very basics of the game. What it'd look like, how it would transfer to the CD-I and what kind of level themes the game would have. The actual game never even got started, because Nintendo turned it down. This wasn't the game. Not even part of the game. It was just the game's looks and mechanics used to show what levels would vaguely look like. Hell, Nintendo actually said they were IMPRESSED with this project and what they were shown of the ideas for the game, but they didn't want to go through with it. Nintendo were IMPRESSED. If NINTENDO themselves were impressed it must have been pretty good.
David Louis you only wish no beacuse this version isnt finished and all glitched. If it was finished with no glitches id bet u would like or at least not hate it
This was really interesting because it gives an idea what the developers are doing before they complete a game. I'm certain that even the very first Mario game had a lot of glitches and mistakes before the programers completed it. Watching this almost shows us the mind of a game creator. Thanks for sharing this game.
I felt like they were way too harsh on this one. I'm not really sure what they were expecting from the unfinished prototype of an unreleased game; personally, I thought allot of the worlds looked really creative, and the artwork is actually kind of beautiful at times. If only it was finished.
iDan, even if it WAS on a crappy console, that console COULD'VE had good games if they just took the time. Take the Sega Megadrive, it sucked, but it was still had a few games that were good in my opinion.
Whats creepy is, the same ghost looking plants in the background on the swamp levels are similar if not the same as the "Hell's Trees" A.K.A. The things that look down and watch you in Super Mario Galaxy 2: Shiver Burn Galaxy. The fact the game isn't done just makes it more creepy.
Honestly, considering this was a quickly done (2 weeks) PRE-ALPHA stage prototype that's main point for being made was to present the concept and sprite porting to Nintendo, it's pretty impressive what they did. I would have liked to see what some of these levels would have been like had it gotten into alpha or beta development.
They just got a Pre-alfa version of a never released videogame and they expected to not reset the console all the time? Oh, and those are not stages for the game, those are testing fields.
I'm really glad that James decided to do a movie, but much happier that its nearly done! The real reason why we're all here is because of his AVGN episodes. James, don't forget that!
Everyone is complaining how this is a bad video? Not their best but I find it pretty funny. Then again were all different. Also be more thankful I didn't even know this was a thing..
I'm guessing the different levels are would all the same level (like Ice 1 and 2) except they were the different areas serrated by the pipes. This could explain why some levels don't appear to have a finish.
The devs literally threw this together on short notice, to show to Nintendo (who was actually impressed). I'm actually surprised this pre-alpha is even out there in the wild, considering it's like 1% done.
i think this game would've been a great game like the others but it's unfinished because the bastard CDI if it was on the SNES or N64 this game would've a great success
dikkeroege i guess you could look at it like that, but my point was, the game was really broken and it must have been very frustrating to have to reset the console and wait for the game to load almost every second.
Welcome to the world of QA testing, boys! Now imagine doing that for 8 hours a day and writing up every bug you see into a detailed report. -QA Tester for 2 years.
clemente garcia Thanks. It is indeed work, and it consists basically of what James and Mike are doing here... going through unfinished, buggy software with a lot of placeholder art, having the patience to deal with constant freezes and crashes and resetting the application over and over again. It is pretty rewarding, though, to catch an annoying bug and have the devs fix it, knowing that you saved other gamers from ever having to experience the annoyance it would have caused.
Stinger911 But just to dispel what you've seen in some of those cheesy "become a game tester" commercials, gaming QA is not just 2 guys on a couch, lol. You're typically on a team of several people all networked together (with desks and computers and stuff) and you're communicating and helping each other isolate issues. It can be a lot of fun or a grind depending upon what title you have to test and also who your coworkers are.
How do you get into that line of work? I've seen those ad spam commercials, but nothing real. I've always wanted to be a tester, not because I think it's incredibly easy (I know it's not), but for my love of video games.
Simon Von Bill Basically two methods. There is outsourced QA where you help developers from a remote location and communicate with face-chat and stuff. Or you can be an embedded tester at the dev's location, where you interact with them more closely. Many big publishers these days are moving toward outsourced QA because it allows for more people testing their titles, often at lower wages. Look for these in your area. You don't really need a degree or anything special. You just have to show an aptitude for finding bugs and have good writing and people skills. The people who suck shit at the job are let go fast.
***** Well.. to be precise it is in the odiernal Turkey in the Dardanelles strait! It was featured in the both Iiliad, the Odissey and quoted on the Aeneid, that's why you thought it was in Greece! :)
Makes me laugh at how there are so many games out today for full retail price that are as unfinished as this one. I'm looking at you Day 1 Gary's Incident!
Kinda wish they would've completed it. This is the only CD-i game I've ever seen that had at least SOME potential. And that's saying a lot considering just how many horrible games there are on the CD-i.
The first thing I look at when a new video is posted is the duration. Yay! over 25 minutes of fun :D Usually it's 9 to 15 mins. The longer the better ;)
6:21 lol after James says he's stuck Mike is like "let me see... yup, you're stuck". He's esactly like that guy that gotta fix your telephone so you say to him "I try typing but nothing happens" and he HAS to try it before fixing it. What, do you really think I'm so stupid that I don't know how to type?
EDIT since people can't think for themselves. Man when Mike and James made this series the content that James uploads became pretty boring. Still enjoy this but I think more of us like the AVGN series.
Enzo Aprile I'm talking about the content they post. It's like going from comic books to TV (stuff like this video). A huge change. My opinion though. I still enjoy watching them though.
it's not fucked, it's or borken, but in fundamental basics of development. This literally the definition of "minimal viable product" - bare bones you need to see if the core game loop of running and jumping works ( that is the case in Mario games). It's not something that can really be called a game.
These kind of broken and glitched games did always depressed me in a way I can't explain. I think in the lives of their creators and I feel really sorry for them for not having seen his dreams fulfilled.
Though in the case of the Phillips CDI development team, all of their games were HORRENDOUS cash-ins that were barely playable even when complete. They were either entirely unconcerned with satisfying their customers at all, or if they actually gave a shit then they were among the worst game developers in history.
In all of the time since this game's near-release, you'd think one diehard Mario fan with too much time on their hands would've taken this unfinished product and expanded upon it.
You know what... Looking at this it seems more like these numbers on each place like "Swamp" or "House" don't represent individual levels, but that they're all parts of one level, like Swamp 1-6 is just one (swamp) level. That would explain how sometimes there's just one screen with the goal or something and also often it looks like for example 3 picks off where 2 ended. Like there being a pipe on one part and then on the next there's the same pipe with similar layout. It's a shame this game wasn't finished, to me it looks like it had potential to at least be decent if it was actually finished and made to work like a Mario game. The levels look pretty cool but it kinda sucks you can't really play any of them.
Hey, Mike's Elvis is pretty good. I like James's t-shirt, too. Not sure about the CD-i, but it looks like Wacky Worlds could have been a decent game with some fun levels, if only the devs had anywhere close to completing it.
I assume that the reason he can't move sometimes is an entity hits him, and the game registers Mario as "dead" as for when you fall into the ground, you cannot move, making that theory a little more sensical.
Except sometimes it seems to defy even that logic and let you keep on going after running into a guy. The game's consistent in its inconsistency, at least.
Wow somebody actually donated this game to you guys? This game is extremely rare only 3 prototype copies exist and at least 1 or 2 of them were sold on ebay. This person must've been very generous to donate such a rare and valuable game to you guys. You should consider yourselves lucky :).
I see potential here. Broken (unfinished) game mechanics aside the graphics are impressive. The reflection in the Iceberg level and the ripple effect from the underwater levels are surprisingly well done. If someone were to finish this game I'd totally play it
This looks like a very early prototype, probably more to show artwork style then anything else, and as that it's actually pretty decent. I don't know how much time was spent on this, but if it's sometng like one to two month then that's what you'd expect
Dr.Beef Wacky Worlds is better than Sonic 06 & Superman 64 BECAUSE SM:WW is an unfinished game that was never released. Sonic 06 & Superman 64 are unfinished games that have been released.
That's not a reason that makes it better. Also, there is no game here. It can't even be completed. It's a few screenshots that, again, forces one to reset the game if they wish to see the rest of them. So you look at playability. As bad as Superman was, it can be played and completed. Whether one wants to do that is one thing, but that can't even be done with this. By default, that makes that more playable than this, and ultimately "better", though that's a relative term. I played Superman back when I was 13, and considering what year it came out, and the powerful console it was on, it could be considered among the top 5 worst games ever.
Dr.Beef Wacky Worlds is a game here. It can be completed, we have the technology to rebuild it! a lot of games used screenshots again & again. Atari 2600 you're always forced to reset the games. If you look at the playability Wacky Worlds is still funner even with unfinished level designs. As bad as Superman was, it can be completed but why the f*** would even complete that disaster? by default that makes that less playable than this and ultimately *NOT* better. Oh, so you actually played Superman 64, I feel bad for you now. :( though I agree with the last part. :D
I think this had potential to be decent - I think it's pretty obvious that Egypt 1, 2, 3 etc are just different parts of the same level that were going to eventually be connected via the pipes. I presume the "M" symbol is supposed to be the exit that would take you to the next level.
You guys where way to hard on this, that's not an unreleased game, that's a pre-pre-pre-pre-alpha game. The engine is not even functional yet. Even the greatest games of all time looked like that at some point. This game is so early in development you don't even have testers at that point.
Baby Mario's crying does NOT ruin Yoshi's Island. You would have to be extremely sensitive *and* get hit *constantly* to think so. Yoshi's Island is a frickin' masterpiece! Come on, James!
I honestly wish Nintendo would remake this game (finished of course) on the Wii or VC because the style of the game's levels look cool. BTW, I totally agree with James on Yoshi's Island. That game kicks ass.
What's sad is they released Hotel Mario, as if that would be a better game, than a sequel to Super Mario World. I mean really?? REALLY?! Who thought that a game that takes away all the awesome elements of Mario, would be better than a sequel?!
This might have been started after the unholy ones (HM and the Zeldas), but never got that far because people never bought the system (and with good reason).
Well obviously nobody bought the system, and can you blame them? With game choices and designs such as "Hotel Mario", who can blame them? There wasn't really enough quality put into their games. Just look at Neo-Geo. It was expensive like the CD-i, but was a lot better since it was all about high quality.
You know, if this was a full-game (Heard it's not a game though) to play, it probably would of been a really good CD-i game, since the graphics are well... wacky. xD I wish they could at least add graphics like these for New Super Mario Bros. :D
At least there were a FEW creative ideas inside this unfinished pre-pre-pre Alpha version. The way the reflective water turns into transparent water once Mario falls in. The art style including the nice color cycled translucent waterfalls. It could have had potential. BUT, we'll never know now. Had me a good handful of laughs here. It's almost like we are all in your living room wondering who will have to turn on/off (not reset) the CDi. HEH Good stuff!

Enzo Aprile I'm talking about the content they post. It's like going from comic books to TV (stuff like this video). A huge change.
My opinion though. I still enjoy watching them though.
Vismund Floyd The content they post has changed to this mostly.
Like if the Finished Super Mario's Wacky Worlds should have replaced Hotel Mario.
Hotel Mario was ehh, but this would've been cooler, even though the controllers probably would've screwed it all up.
it's not fucked, it's or borken, but in fundamental basics of development. This literally the definition of "minimal viable product" - bare bones you need to see if the core game loop of running and jumping works ( that is the case in Mario games). It's not something that can really be called a game.

James: Gotta use the blunt end of the stick
Mike: Can you use a blunt?
same mike. same.
at 4:33 when he jumps back up from the sand, there's a short Yoshi-Mounting-sound, LOL!
These kind of broken and glitched games did always depressed me in a way I can't explain. I think in the lives of their creators and I feel really sorry for them for not having seen his dreams fulfilled.
I take solace in the fact that by the looks of things this game wasn't headed anywhere good.
Though in the case of the Phillips CDI development team, all of their games were HORRENDOUS cash-ins that were barely playable even when complete. They were either entirely unconcerned with satisfying their customers at all, or if they actually gave a shit then they were among the worst game developers in history.
In all of the time since this game's near-release, you'd think one diehard Mario fan with too much time on their hands would've taken this unfinished product and expanded upon it.
You know what... Looking at this it seems more like these numbers on each place like "Swamp" or "House" don't represent individual levels, but that they're all parts of one level, like Swamp 1-6 is just one (swamp) level. That would explain how sometimes there's just one screen with the goal or something and also often it looks like for example 3 picks off where 2 ended. Like there being a pipe on one part and then on the next there's the same pipe with similar layout.
It's a shame this game wasn't finished, to me it looks like it had potential to at least be decent if it was actually finished and made to work like a Mario game. The levels look pretty cool but it kinda sucks you can't really play any of them.
Super Mario's Wacky Worlds now packaged with Mario Stick
If you liked unfinished games, try the first version of Resident Evil 2, is unplayable like this mario game, but is really interesting
Oh man, I almost forgot about that. Now gonna check the videos on it on youtube.
"I'm stuck!" the video
Had this actually been finished it looks like something that would have been kind of cool and different. I love the little koopas in outfits.
Glitch minefield? Nope, it's the glitch gremlin's domain.
Also loved the term reset bitch XD
Hey, Mike's Elvis is pretty good. I like James's t-shirt, too.
Not sure about the CD-i, but it looks like Wacky Worlds could have been a decent game with some fun levels, if only the devs had anywhere close to completing it.
I assume that the reason he can't move sometimes is an entity hits him, and the game registers Mario as "dead" as for when you fall into the ground, you cannot move, making that theory a little more sensical.
Except sometimes it seems to defy even that logic and let you keep on going after running into a guy. The game's consistent in its inconsistency, at least.
Wow somebody actually donated this game to you guys? This game is extremely rare only 3 prototype copies exist and at least 1 or 2 of them were sold on ebay. This person must've been very generous to donate such a rare and valuable game to you guys. You should consider yourselves lucky :).
Like anyones going to believe you
Everyone can burn the prototype themselves, you know...
Slim Jim 420 the cdi has no copy protection, you just have to download the iso and burn it
Imagine the cutscenes that we would have gotten had this game been finished
Probably would’ve been just as perfect as hotel Mario cutscenes
@11:25 "were going to plaid" 🤣🤣🤣🤣👾
This game actually had potential. . .
6:39 Gotta say, I like the background for this level
I see potential here. Broken (unfinished) game mechanics aside the graphics are impressive. The reflection in the Iceberg level and the ripple effect from the underwater levels are surprisingly well done. If someone were to finish this game I'd totally play it
They're getting mad because an unfinished game is unfinished?
Honestly if they finished this it might have been pretty cool. I like how you can go to real places and the enemies match the places.
+Charleyyy and Friends it gets sadder when you realize that someone can make a rom hack of Mario World and recreate this.
When Mike said "I could use a blunt" all subtle like actually killed me, you guys are still as funny as aways!
That joke flew over everybody's heads, I had to look hard to find the only comment that mentioned that. I officially love these two guys.
MIKE JUST QUOTED JOURNEY I AM NOW HAPPY YES
taskenlander Don't stop believin'
Hold on to that feelin' !!!! If I ever see a Journey arcade machine, we'll have to do a J&MM about it
Cinemassacre I've never seen these guys reply back. This totally made my day :)
Cinemassacre Can u make a video about something good?
This looks like a very early prototype, probably more to show artwork style then anything else, and as that it's actually pretty decent. I don't know how much time was spent on this, but if it's sometng like one to two month then that's what you'd expect
at least this game is more complete than Sonic 06.
And more fun than Superman 64.
***** Not even close to as "good" as Superman 64. As crappy as that game is, at least one doesn't have to perpetually reset the game to play it.
Dr.Beef
Wacky Worlds is better than Sonic 06 & Superman 64 BECAUSE SM:WW is an unfinished game that was never released. Sonic 06 & Superman 64 are unfinished games that have been released.
That's not a reason that makes it better. Also, there is no game here. It can't even be completed. It's a few screenshots that, again, forces one to reset the game if they wish to see the rest of them. So you look at playability. As bad as Superman was, it can be played and completed. Whether one wants to do that is one thing, but that can't even be done with this. By default, that makes that more playable than this, and ultimately "better", though that's a relative term. I played Superman back when I was 13, and considering what year it came out, and the powerful console it was on, it could be considered among the top 5 worst games ever.
Dr.Beef
Wacky Worlds is a game here. It can be completed, we have the technology to rebuild it! a lot of games used screenshots again & again. Atari 2600 you're always forced to reset the games. If you look at the playability Wacky Worlds is still funner even with unfinished level designs. As bad as Superman was, it can be completed but why the f*** would even complete that disaster? by default that makes that less playable than this and ultimately *NOT* better. Oh, so you actually played Superman 64, I feel bad for you now. :(
though I agree with the last part. :D
11:26-11:59 Mario's like "fuck my life…."
I think this had potential to be decent - I think it's pretty obvious that Egypt 1, 2, 3 etc are just different parts of the same level that were going to eventually be connected via the pipes. I presume the "M" symbol is supposed to be the exit that would take you to the next level.
You guys where way to hard on this, that's not an unreleased game, that's a pre-pre-pre-pre-alpha game. The engine is not even functional yet. Even the greatest games of all time looked like that at some point. This game is so early in development you don't even have testers at that point.
Engine? It's a 2D side scroller. And they said most of that in the beginning.
Baby Mario's crying does NOT ruin Yoshi's Island. You would have to be extremely sensitive *and* get hit *constantly* to think so. Yoshi's Island is a frickin' masterpiece! Come on, James!
I honestly wish Nintendo would remake this game (finished of course) on the Wii or VC because the style of the game's levels look cool.
BTW, I totally agree with James on Yoshi's Island. That game kicks ass.
What's sad is they released Hotel Mario, as if that would be a better game, than a sequel to Super Mario World. I mean really?? REALLY?! Who thought that a game that takes away all the awesome elements of Mario, would be better than a sequel?!
This might have been started after the unholy ones (HM and the Zeldas), but never got that far because people never bought the system (and with good reason).
Well obviously nobody bought the system, and can you blame them? With game choices and designs such as "Hotel Mario", who can blame them? There wasn't really enough quality put into their games.
Just look at Neo-Geo. It was expensive like the CD-i, but was a lot better since it was all about high quality.
Oh agreed, there were bad decisions all around. Just probably too late to turn the ship around at this point.
Totally too late to turn the CD-i around now. It's just mind bloggling the stupidity some of these companies have is all.
You know, if this was a full-game (Heard it's not a game though) to play, it probably would of been a really good CD-i game, since the graphics are well... wacky. xD I wish they could at least add graphics like these for New Super Mario Bros. :D
At least there were a FEW creative ideas inside this unfinished pre-pre-pre Alpha version. The way the reflective water turns into transparent water once Mario falls in. The art style including the nice color cycled translucent waterfalls.
It could have had potential. BUT, we'll never know now. Had me a good handful of laughs here. It's almost like we are all in your living room wondering who will have to turn on/off (not reset) the CDi. HEH
Good stuff!
They should've held the CDi on their knees :))
The cord was probably not long enough for that otherwise I'm sure they would've done that.
