Dump is available here: archive.org/details/hotel-mario-beta-1993-11-23

I don't think we've given this guy enough credit for actually having to play through most of Hotel Mario.

Thanks for uploading and sharing all of this, it's awesome!!

Hopefully the unused cutscenes can be found in the files

Was expecting the piggybank cutscene to have the left right curse

Super cool to hear that the dump is now available... hopefully some of the dataminers out there will be able to uncover an interesting tidbit or two.

You know what they say, All Game Pack Rats dump Hotel Mario Betas!

Some dev's emo Mario OC ended up in the middle of the development! What shall we call him? Italian Coal Miner Mario?

The Hotel Mario Beta has been preserved And in MAR10 of all days!

Man, this is going to breathe some new life to the YTP scene.

I believe that the pompadour goombas are meant to resemble Elvis in Jailhouse Rock.

0:32 King: OAH! NOT MAH CASTLE

Don't worry, the Cutting Room Floor will dig DEEP right in.

From the game ending abruptly, it could be theorized that this could've been a Demo made during development to show off at Trade Shows. But this is unlikely.

The fact that you found this randomly, and were kind enough to share it, play through it (It's a hard game lol) and have it dumped absolutely restored my faith in humanity. There's some cool people out there, and you're one of them!

I just realized that this is the 1st time I've seen levels of the game beyond hotel 3.

3:20 It could be they haven't forgot to include Peach in the cutscene and it was rather a decision to recycle the animation from the intro to save the budget. Why would she go there in the first place? Unless that was supposed to be Wendy disguised as her, luring Mario and Luigi to another hotel.

The last thing we got to do is check out some unused content to see what's been left on the disk.

Was hoping for a clear voice clip of "This is it Luigi"

Going by that ending, it seems no mater what we do, we will never reach the forbidden Cheese Hotel...

HELL YEAH THE DUMP IS AVALIABLE!!!! Congratulations once again on this insane discovery and you have my utmost gratitude as always sharing this discovery with the world! Let the KZfaq Poop renaissance commence!

I actually managed to look through the audio files, the audio for the hotel 7 intro exists, the only difference (along with no music and sound effects) is that Mario says "Princes!" right after she says "Boys!", I don't know if any animation data exists though

This is absolutely history in the making. Very rarely, once in a blue moon, a beta disc could be found. However, never in my wildest dreams i ever expect to see one from a game that popularized the ytp craze. If were lucky enough, hopefully beta 64 would look into this as well

You’re welcome! Awesome playthrough! Such a shame more wasn’t done in the Beta, but we thank you for not just the Source Material for YTP; but preserving this game to the Internet Archive!

You could say that the corrupted scene was “SPOOOKY”

Happy Mar10 day! 🎉🎉🎉

I'm still surprised you haven't mentioned that the cloud enemies at the cloud hotel have unusual smiles in the beta.

Absolutle legend. Thanks for documenting this process and for dumping it in the end. History’s been made.

YOO A NEW HOTEL MARIO BETA VID

Looking forward to what fans will do now that there is clean audio of most of the spoken dialogue without music. Quite appropriate with the recent release of Arzette.

This is the first time I have ever been super hyped for a video about hotel mario!

Can't wait for data miners to look into the beta files and find tons of unused content like the Sonic 2 betas from my childhood

Ytps go crazy

One thing I just remembered about the game is that there was a special death where if Morton goes in the same elevator as you, only he comes out and coughs up Mario's hat. I wonder if that was different in the beta...

Thank you so much for preserving and sharing this awesome beta discovery !!! Fingers crossed for additional cutscenes/dialogue/audio/sprites/etc. to be found in the data,but if not that's fine since what you yourself have found and shared from playing the actual game is incredible !! Thank you again :D

awesome! congrats and thank you for preserving this history for everyone to enjoy in the future and for showcasing the differences on your channel. you definitely just got yourself a new sub

Thank you again for your efforts in helping to preserve this version of the game! Some interesting changes there with the sprites. Well played too, as around hotel 6 things start to get pretty tough! From what you've shown, the beta can be quite a bit trickier in spots.

thank you you have contributed to hotel mario history

Thanks for all these vids! Also happy Mario day! :D

Thank you for doing this, there are many people who’d probably notice this, add it to their collection, and forget about it, or worse, try to gouge someone who’d want to preserve it. I’ll check the dump out! 😀

YOOO, THANKS FOR THE BUILD! I was literally about to scream as soon as I got the info. Seriously, thank you and bikerspade for dumping the rom!

Thank you so much for everything you’ve done for us! 💚 I appreciate you immensely for making these videos and for dumping the game. I think I speak for the entire community when I say you’ve done some wonderful work for us all! I can’t wait to see what other secrets may be hiding in the beta’s code! And I definitely wouldn’t mind if you ended up making another video about content found in the files of the beta if there’s enough to make one about. 😁

You have my respect for releasing this beta for the world to see. Thanks!

I bet someone out there is already ripping the assets from the game

In the last video, you didn’t mention that the clouds have bigger and small mouths. In the Retail version, their mouths are small, but in the Beta, they are big

this NEEDS more views!

LETSS GOOO PART 4!!!!

I bet people remember watching Classic YTPs

Thank you so much for the videos and the dump!!! Still crazy to think this was just lying somewhere in a thrift shop.

Oh well, No Beta Version of Wendy Koopa, Bowser's hotel and Nor Last Beta Cutscenes after all, but that was good for Mar10 Day.

You're an absolute beast for breathing more life into the CD-I, good luck on your future endeavours!

Appreciated on going through the beta along with almost beating the game twice.

I'm really glad you shared it, super cool of you

What if the game ended there because its trying to load the missing koopaling's hotel/cutscene?

Thank you for sharing this incredible find

Thank you for this release!

I genuinely hope that you get associated with the beta of this game forever, your energy and enthusiasm is the best lol

Mar 10 day was a perfect day to release the dump! :) I see what you did there!

Thanks for playing through the game, showing it to us, and getting it dumped!

Great video!

Yessssss. I’m so glad this beta was dumped.

You forgot to mention last video that the cloud enemies from Lemmy's High-ate Regency Hotel actually have a slightly different sprite, with the mouth being smaller in retail. Anyway, kudos to you for getting this dumped!

It's a MAR10 miracle! Thanks for dumping the files!

This prototype only goes up to 6-8.

We need someone to look through the files and see if the legendary lost hotel 6 is there!

Perfect timing

I’m so happy this is dumped! Will you be keeping the disc in your personal collection or do you think it will be auctioned off?

You're a hero for dumping the rom, no joke or exaggeration

Apparently we have managed to get to the 8th hotel in game. Perhaps this beta was made just after they cut the cheese hotel entirely

@gamepakrat You forgot other cutscenes from other levels! But it didn't metter because it using left and right audio placeholder. But thank you So Much For sharing With Us, Is A Craziest Year I ever seen! 😭😭

Just in time for Mar10 day!

These videos were cool

Thats a bummer the rest of the cutscenes arent here. I would recommend resurfacing the disc as it is an old game.but if the disc is pristine, im happy our journey ended here.

I wonder if the other cutscenes exist in the files?

thank you

YTP Makers! I chose you all!

In the description, you always put the asterisks around the punctuation in order to bold correctly

HELLL YEAHHHHHH HAPPY MAR10 DAY!!

So are we gonna explore the dump for things that didn't appear when playing the game?

Did you happen to find the two warp pipe cutscenes in Morton and Larry's hotels? Or the piggy bank cutscene in Wendy's? That might be some more things to search for! (Even if it's just more stereo channel test audios XD)

🎉

Happy Hotel Mar10 Day!

thanks :)

oh yeah, beta dumped! I still can't believe that the most obscure mario game's beta was found

I have to wonder. There's possibly a cutscene that everyone have forgotten, including myself. In the retail there's a cutscene where we see Mario getting transported through a orange pipe, which I think is some kind of warp pipe. Is there any sign in the beta of this exact cutscene and if yes, is there any different compared to the retail version?

8:32 Josuke Higashikata Goombas

Theres actually a world 8 level. I saw it on someone elses video

I'm still surprised that Hotel 6, Stage 8 is how far we can go in this Beta. Maybe there was going to be a Hotel for Iggy between Wendy & Bowser's hotels, but the Beta can't load it so it crashes. Or Bowser's hotel just doesn't exist at this point in development.

Do you plan on doing another video analyzing the information from the dumped files that you weren't able to access before?

ghappy mar10 day

i do wonder, how would it be possible to rip the audio from the dump? i wanna use it for like audio stuff lol and also is there a way to get the uncompressed audio files

Happy MAR10 Day!

👍

Wendy's hotel music sounds like snes fishing game music.

So I guess there are no beta versions of the "where there's smoke there's fire" scene or the final cutscene with Princess Peach thanking Mario and Luigi? That's too bad.

how do i play the hotel mario beta can i emulate it on my wii

helping to seed the archive torrent 4 u

I mange to find footage of Hotel 8. Someone managed to find it when you gave the rom to everyone else. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l7WcmauZlamunI0.htmlsi=6liwB_T0agaZtd0u Glad your interview went very well. No final Cutscene though. Explain to your fans that there is no enemies in Hotel 8 yet and that this time the cutscene Color for it is fixed no Color issue bugs like the last cutscene or the rest of the ones before the Entering Wendy's Hotel Scene that did not have color issues with its Logo being like the last 5 Hotels saying Hotel Mario “Mario” no new logo. Mario also said Princess when Princess Peach Disappeared which in the retail game. Mario does not say "Princess" when Peach disappears the second time. By the way the Princess’s name is called Peach that is what Nintendo officially called it even when they were remaking Super Mario RPG instead of going by Toadstool like the Original they went with Modern Peach. Even when Mario met The Princess in the Super Mario Bros. Movie she was called Peach. I like it called Princess Peach!

today is a good day for youtube poop
