Beta64 - Super Mario World 

The unused "and" was obviously used for knuckles.

35:38 That sound effect is used in Yoshi's Island. In some levels, there are Egg Blocks that have magenta dots, and when you hit them, they grow in size and play that sound.

2:53 Miyamoto: "The team couldn't just make the same game again" Nintendo today: *Mariokart 8 Deluxe*

31:01 Oh, come on! How could you miss the opportunity there? "Sorry, Mario, but your exit is in another castle!"

Just so you know, DYKG did not copy my video. It's just a coincidence that they chose the same game. Please don't accuse them of stealing.

That 5-up totally looked like 'sup'

Even more unused sprites have been leaked today, showing Bowser getting out of his clowncopter and lots of bizarre npcs.

At 5:38 in the video, we see the 1989 build’s overworld. However, thanks to the recent ‘Gigaleak’, we can now see that the overworld wasn’t just the mushroom. It would have branched into a smaller island that leads to big (probably main) island.

This game is so goooooooooooooood.

“It’s a stone luigi, you didn’t make it!”

Its honestly so uncanny for me to see that this video is now 6 years old. like where did all that time go??....

I don’t know why, but this video has a weirdly important place in my memory. I remember being sick and nearly falling asleep when watching this. I was sitting on a folding mattress, and I don’t get why that memory is so vivid, but it just was.

The map from the 1989 build is quite easy to decipher, it is shaped like a super Mushroom, it even has eyes. Meaning a fortress could fit on the top still, and that other islands would most likely be shaped like other power-ups too. The fact that the final game still kept a Star world could be a hint to this.

Hands down one of the best and most thorough videos abut gaming I've ever watched in my whole life. Bravo Beta64, you're a true entertainer.

I love these videos. He really explains how detailed and caring Nintendo was by saying: "They wanted a player experience like that"

This is so thorough and incredible that we are at the place in technology that we can relive unknown mysteries from our childhood games.

When you said that they recreated smb3 on the super famicom, that probably resulted in super Mario all stars

I must have watched 500 videos on Super Mario World throughout my life, and none of them were as thorough as this. Awesome video my friend, it must have taken forever to put this together but it really shows in the quality.

I remember seeing this video when it came out and watching it over and over so many times. Coming back to it is quite nostalgic now. Especially episode one of the series. I saw that video about a month after upload, and I've been hooked on this channel since. I remember watching it on my wii on a crt tv. Good times. Thank you for all the wonderful videos over the years, my guy. You've granted us all a vault of knowledge and entertainment. Props to you!

I can't believe that this video is already four years old! I remember watching this when it was new!

2:50 Modern Developers: "Impossible"

The sound at 35:39 plays when you hit one of those pink spotted blocks on Yoshi's Island (the ones that enlarge). A higher-pitched version of that sound also appears in Super Mario All-Stars when Boo appears in the Battle Mode of SMB3.

35:38 in some games there is a mushroom platform that shrinks down and stretches out. That noise could have been the sound preduesed when it stretches out so at one point nintendo was going to add retractable mushroom platforms

27:07 "And and" Lol

I REALLY want to play the 1989 build now...

15:40 super super mario bros 4 mario world tm is one of my favorite classic games

I always come back to watch this video once in a while

Seeing the beta banzai bill makes me have goosebumps

it turns out miyamoto hated mario world because he was the one responsible for not fixing iggy's hair this is so sad, alexa you know what to do

Wait... so Super Mario World was technically an official hack of Super Mario Bros 3? XD

35:38 sounds like the wooweewaaweee that SMW2 bosses make, or an early sound effect for the cape feather.

This is a very interesting beta! I would love to play that beta that was in the pictures, but it’s most likely that I never will. Great video, thanks for telling us about the beta for one of best mario games ever

great video that just got you your 192774th subscriber

The sound that played at 35:38 was extended and used for the start of a boss fight in Yoshi's island

this is one of my favorite videos from Beta64

I watched the whole video and had fun! Don't tell me you're not making a part 2.

I have a theory about the hub world. If you look closely at the demo title card at 5:00 it looks like a mushroom. Then at about 6:00 you can see the layout of the levels. Of these levels, at least 3 of them are fortress levels. This leads me to believe that this is the mushroom kingdom, as it is shaped as a mushroom. So this might have ended up being the mushroom kingdom for every other game like this one. Reply if you have more to say about this. Thanks.

Wait, Miyamoto said this game was "unfinished"? That's funny, because when I play it, it looks to me like the furthest thing from unfinished. (It's perfectly understandable, though, since it seems to be only natural that creators see their own work for what could have been, while audiences tend to see that same work simply for what it is)

been listening to a good chunk of Beta64 Videos related to mario ( and that spongebob one ) to fall asleep, somehow he's very relaxing while informing.

GOOD JOB MAN I LOVE YOUR CONTENT YOU ANSWER ALL MY QUESTIONS

Fun fact: the missing frame of animation for the blue swoopers is actually part of the glass-roulette block that can give you power ups.

Hey, yet another great video! I suggest you do the Pokemon Gold/Silver beta next, a ton of interesting stuff there! Prototype starters, a skateboard, and more. It's a really interesting topic and I'd love to see a video about it from you. Keep up the good work, I've been subbed for 3 years I think now :^)

Thank you! Also, I like how you've concluded the video lol 👏👏👏

I love how the "mushroom scales" sorta...destroy the pipes. How when they go down, they make some of the pipe disappear, and when they come back up, the pipe reappears.

RU-vid in 2011: “Haha 6 minutes didn’t realise I was watching a movie” RU-vid in 2018 : (sits down to watch a 40 minute video on the the beta version of Super Mario World)

I've been a HUGE fan! Seeing this made my day! Thank you!

This game is a gem. One of my childhood favs.

36:16 in music class at my school we drum on buckets whenever we do something right I play that and my teacher gets mad at me lol

Hey Beta64 ! I would just like to say thanks and that I appreciate that you dedicate alot of time and effort into your videos. Your videos is always fun to watch and I love them.

_You know, that beta island formation at __7:26__ looks oddly like a mushroom..perhaps they planned for Super Mario World to go from variously different-shaped islands (Mushroom-shaped, Fire Flower-shaped, etc.) one after another?_

Every year since 2019 ive watched this video ^_^ great one base64

i love how youtube is still recommending entertaining and educational videos from 6 years ago

That unused sound effect was, indeed, modified slightly and then used in Yoshi's Island, when Yoshi hits a magenta-colored egg block (the kinds that expand into platforms that he can use to reach higher places).

35:38 A sound effect used in Super Mario All-Stars where Boo appears in the Mario Bros. Mini Game, only that sound effect was pitched up, & it was used with a different sound font in Yoshi's Island where the Purple Spotted Block grows bigger.

Every time you say "Famicon" I die a little more inside. It's Famicom and Super Famicom, as its name is a contraction of Family-Computer.

Dear god I remember when this video came out, I was so excited

32:06 That backgroud is moving WAY too fast

actually, the 5up symbol was meant for the flying yellow mushroom you mentioned.

What are the odds that this video would show up in my recommendations exactly while I'm playing this?

The old overworld map is in the shape of a mushroom!

27:10 Super Mario World and Knuckles

wow i totally forgot that i used to watch this channel back in high school, resubbed

What if the unused and was going to be used for the ultimate crossover: SUPER MARIO WORLD AND KNUCKLES Now I’m expecting someone to make a rom hack of SMW where you play as knuckles

We look for stuff like this because we want to feel that wonder again from when we were kids. We want to 'rediscover' these games. I think that, at least for me, is why I love these kinds of videos. Plus, I learn a little bit as far as the technical aspects go.

You forgot to cover the unused ram value that when switch on, turns the cape instead of holding B to glide, to the SMB3 type where you mash B to glide. And the other unused bit of code that when you finish a level with the starman effect, after 8 loads it gives you the starman effect (probably an unused remnant of a helpful handicap for bad players) Also, it's probably intended before that you could get a starman in the item box, as it still has a correct looking sprite in the item box, along with a working stunned state object coming out of the box. The reason why those side activated cape blocks appear like p switches when hit is probably due to overwritten bounce sprite data. Half doors aren't special. Door enterability only applies to mario's size. For example 1 high doors only support small mario. However, 2 high doors can only support yoshi + small mario, or just big mario. With 3 high doors, you can also support yoshi + big doors. Actually I lied, they only rely on the height of the top block from the ground. Something very confusing and I'm not able to cover it in this comment. You also mentioned the wiggler 1up chain. This also applies to points recieved from sprites turning into coins when you beat the level. However, every other value is skipped. ex: 100 400 1000 4000 1up 3up 5coins etc. Interesting note on the layer 2 underground unused level, there's no level 3 background used as a replacement to the layer 2 backgrounds on normal levels now used for the sinking yellow part of the level. Maybe it hadn't been developed and this level was a test for layer 2 tangible behavior or maybe the developers didn't care to put it in. I also like how you incorrectly set the layer 2 properties for the early wendy level. :P More stuff not covered: - flying key (which hurts mario?) - unused yoshi sprites - conveyor ropes - seaweed - unused red switch palace in valley of bowser - unused green castle blocks level with pipe - translucent level effect - morton's plains - debug features left in the game - early chocolate island 2 screenshot This game has a whole lot of unused stuff in the RAM and the ROM

This gives me a little bit of nostalgia since i watched this when i was a small little kid.

Having never seen this channel and being confronted with spyro floating in the mess of a void was, pretty fuckin great

9:39 most likely those were just regular coins, similar (in design and size) to the ones in SMB3

You switched up the brick and turn blocks... 33:21

awesome vid

34:02 this made me think of ancient egyptian walls. The last sprites of mario sticking his hand out, and the others standing behind.

I'm impressed and shocked at how much effort you put into this series, keep up the good work Ps can we get a beta 64 of super Mario galaxy

I can't place EXACTLY where it is but I'm pretty sure the sound effect is for something growing or blooming or something involving new coming into the level. I'll play it and figure it out later

This is why I subscribed

6:16 The paths that stem from the green Toad House kinda resembles a familiar symbol in the 1989 build of this masterpiece.

this game will be played every day by someone until the end of mankind, as people are looking at the incoming asteroid and trying to have the most fun possible.

The most interesting part is when you analyze both side of the game,the beta and the final result. Congratulations for the video,really,it's absolutely well made and well described!

Great documentary

Pretty incredible stuff...🤘🏼💯✔

great video man! really enjoyed it, all that hard work payed off. also i subscribed.

Your intro is one of the coolest intros I've ever seen! :)

27:35 I swear to God I remember playing super Mario world and seeing this sign. Now when I play it, it's gone. idk if this is possible, I think one of the game's files glitched, or I had an extremely rare cartridge back then. and this was after 2000.

i never noticed that a lot of SMW's music has a beat playing in exclusively your left or right ear.

Did you notice the beta island is a mushroom?

THIS IS IT THE ONE WE'VE AAAAAAALLL BEEN WAITING FOR

Why do I feel like I come back every year to watch this video?

You’re gonna have to re do or update this now with what we found

4:54 Could Super Mario Odyssey perhaps be referencing this early build by Mushroom Kingdom? Sure, it's a long shot, but still...

*speaks uncomprehendably due to excitement*

33:38 i am sure that sprite was intended for the fence panel as it is the exact same pose he does in the game, although the shading on that sprite is slightly different for the one used in the final game

if this video ever turns 7 years old i bet beta64 would start making a revisited video of this

13:27 larry looks quite larger in the beta

For those who don't know, I recommend downloading FuSuYa's Lunar Magic save over a copy of super mario world on your pc. It's basically super mario maker before super mario maker was a thing and it can do way more than super mario maker. Anyway, if you fool around with editing in Lunar Magic, you can learn a ton about how the game was made and find all those unused things he was talking about in this video. P.S.: the conveyor belt that is unused is actually used in super mario but as just a basic rope that you stand on. I forget the name of the stage but it's the one at night with a bunch of bouncing and parakoopas and those countdown platforms.

35:25 That sound is 100% from Yoshi's Island or at least is similar to the sound in Yoshi's Island. I believe it might have been from some kg the bosses in that game.

I’m 1 minute into my first video of yours and I can already tell that you are under rated

Why are the koopa kids in Mario 3 more detailed than in world?

Thumbnail:When you can't afford a Banzai Bill.

Excellent research 😃 i learned a lot thank you

19:44 I think that the reason this block exists is that this game was meant to built similarly to SMB3, and in it, and in 1-3, it has a hard block that hid a Super Leaf inside (correct me if im wrong).

Your theme song hit me hard with nostalgia... got a lump in my throat :)
