now we can all hear Peppy Hare in his uncompressed glory! (Rest easy Rick May, you will be missed.)

4:28 the Mario voice in the beta was literally in the public domain

About the Pokémon leaks: what got leaked was a personal repository for Diamond & Pearl's source code, with entries for many builds. According to TCRF, most of the source files are broken and can't be compiled in fully working ROMs, but (up until now), three new beta ROMs have been sucessfully compiled from this source code and released on 4Chan. The may and june 2006 builds are very close to final release, with only a few different sprites here and there, but using the debug tools fans found many beta and place holder sprites for many Sinnoh Pokémon. The march 17th beta is the oldest build that can be compiled from the source code into a fully working ROM, and it shows. The region's layout is mostly final, but many cities and towns past Sandgem are still WIP, many important characters use RSE trainer sprites asn place holders, some events are different than the final game (like Valley Windworks), all house interiors are in 3D, UI is very different, Sinnoh Underground uses different textures and graphics, and so on. I did two playthoughs of this march 17th build on my channel, and aside from these, there isn't much to find, not even with the debug menu. Only a few of Gen 4 Pokémon are programmed in this build. Let's see of anyone can create other builds from the source code, it seens there's a march 14 build in the files and wasn't compiled yet.

Community: This mario 64 rom is completely unloadable without a custom-made emulator Mario 64 rom: Ha ha rumble pak go brrrrr

Andrew when he saw the Nintendo leak: CONTENT FOR A WHOLE YEAR!!!

10:23 me at 2am getting cheese

I can't wait for the Gamecube and Wii to get the gigaleak. Imagine the cool things you can find in Mario Galaxy, Paper Mario TTYD, ETC.

Instead of calling them Beta elements, you should call em Proto elements.

The 24 years 1 month later thing blew my mind. I'm convinced 2020 is the final year of existence.

Bowser Jr. was never in a Yoshi's Island game, that was Baby Bowser. Unfortunately, in Crafted World, they got lazy and used Bowser Jr's model for Baby Bowser.

it’s incredibly easy to fake triforce in OoT stuff, the model is literally in the game already

10:25 Imagine if this was still in the final game... you're sitting in a dark room playing the last level 6-8, you've just beat Baby Bowser's first phase, Kamek pours his magic over him... and then... THIS... uh THING... RUNS AT YOU. As if the original wasn't horrifying enough, that's HIGH OCTANE NIGHTMARE FUEL right there! I'd probably never have attempt the final boss if THAT is what he was originally supposed to be like...

15:35 Super Donkey does seem to be related to Donkey Kong. Scattered throughout files in that game, you can see sprites of DK (before the Rare redesign) and Mario.

Hey it's Andrew from the KZfaqs and the Twitches!

So. Listen. The only reason I even titled my video "Super Donkey Kong" was because of the unused Donkey Kong sprites and Mario sprites in the rom, as you play as Mario wearing a flying helmet, and the file name was just "super donkey", which for all intents and purposes was most likely just an abbreviation of the game's internal name just to cut down on size on the disk, if not just a tiny bit. Also holy skipper noodles I'm actually on a Beta64 video, its like a collab or something, huh andrew :) Nah I'm messing, but I hope to actually work with you at somepoint in the future, possibly with the Zelda 64 restoration, Project Leaked Triforce, that me, MelonSpeedruns, and Mr. Disco are working on, which mixes early texture and map recreation along with the recently found leaked files that we are still combing through and finding new things everyday. :)

24 years and one month later luigi is finally found.

Super Donkey has a couple enemies that were in Yoshi’s Island.

Andrew: And there's a third stage called stage 2. me: confused screaming

Andrew seems like a good guy. He should create a channel.

When I saw the Satelliview Zelda 2 screenshot I had a born-again experience.

5:56 Hey look I'm in a Beta64 video!

10:24 this bowser Jr prototype animation looks both scary and funny he is like a dancing bear 😂😂

I remember watching the beta64 video on all the sm64 beta elements through old footage, so seeing all this new stuff being discovered a visible in hd quality is a little emotional-

10:25 as if my kid self wans't scared enough of the final version of bowser jr The beta one would give me nightmares

Super Donkey kinda looks like a sequel to "Donkey Kong '94" or a precursor to "Mario vs. Donkey Kong". I think that the project probably started with the idea of making "Donkey Kong 4". I know that currently when you think of a Dokney Kong game you think that DK would be the protagonist, but this is not the case with the first 3 games titled Donkey Kong or with the Mario vs Donkey Kong series that started as a kind of sequel to the originals.

The skeletons are called Stalfos :)

Marionova64 is the name of the channel he’s watching with the Mario 64 coverage. The guy also does some cool modding, check him out.

I'm more amazed that the data was still uncorrupted after 24 years. I suppose they had people repeatedly going back in and keeping them uncorrupted.

Strange, you look a lot like Andrew from Beta64!

i'm still confused about the luigi thing i thought it was already well known that he was in the game but got removed early on because of hardware limitations

The two newly found builds of Star Fox 2 are REALLY interesting. You should do an update on your Star Fox 2 video one day.

Andrew: *says Bowser Jr. instead of Baby Bowser* Me, writing this comment: I'm about to end this man's whole career.

Super Donkey looks like a mashup between Yoshi's Island and Rayman 1.

I think that Super Donkey was a scrapped project that evolved into Yoshis Island, similar to how Dream on the snes evolved into Banjo Kazooie.

about yoshi island, they didn't compiled the game from the source code, there was already a few builds, the only thing that had to be done was a patch to make everything playable on emulator

thanks a lot for the recap! i was having trouble with keeping up with everything by myself :D

This finally got to my feed 2 years later

I think maybe the Super Mario kart FX prototype Was a very early version of Stunt Race FX

Super Donkey most definitely started as a Donkey Kong game. There's sprites of what is clearly Donkey Kong in there. I would assume after Rare decided they wanted to make a Donkey Kong game Super Donkey was turned into Yoshis Island.

Didn’t Super Donkey actually have sprites of arcade-style Donkey Kong in it?

15:09 snd_test is sound_test snd stands for sound

10:25 thanks for nightmares oof

I can't find anything I want to see the box art and the sounds but everytime I search "N64 leak" its people reacting or reporting on it

snd test is very obviously "Sound Test", which was probably developed to test the sound chip in a game environment

now someone just gotta hack capcom give us that sweet sweet megaman legends 3 build :)

Super Donkey features the Sky Skipper from Sky Skipper, and considering the enemies in his game were Kongs, it might have been their project they wanted to make for Donkey Kong originally but scrapped in favor of Yoshi's Island. Donkey Kong does have a sprite in the data so

I never knew blabloo was in bliblabla, bliblabla is my favorite game series

I’m super late I know I kept ignoring all the vids I saw of this leak but now I’m finally getting to it now that Andrew from KZfaqs is talking about it

My guess is that Super Donkey was an insider tech demo for the Yoshi’s Island engine. Also note that the game has backgrounds similar to Super Mario World.

It's not Stellaview, it's Satellaview, like satellite.

I wonder if the town or city thing from Super Mario Kart was eventually adapted into wuhu town or wuhu island or something. I mean it would be a far stretch and a big gap in time but idk just a thought.

6:39 idk if it’s true or not but what baffles me about the Moto enemy is that the model files were found in the gigaleak but it didn’t have the animations and everything else it needed to work. But in the files of the base Mario 64 people found everything they needed to make Moto work

my god this was almost 4 years ago

This is such an informative video, thank you!!! I'd love to see a comprehensive video of the Zelda stuff, being a Zelda fan as I have been. I'll keep an eye out for what you've got coming!

I remember that, I just ignored it. I then found the Yoshi and Mario models, but i thought they were fake. Idk if they are or not

0:04 “I am here to tae”

we were waiting for this leak since years, thanks to whoever did this

The solid-color textured assets may actually be leftovers from Super FX builds, since Zelda 64 and Mario 64 started on Super FX, and Super FX textures are always solid colors

Super donkey looks like og rayman

Id really like to see beta twilight princess, skyward sword, and breath of the wild.

Guys I faked it. I reverse engineered the Diamond, Pearl, and Yoshi's Island source code and intentionally made the programming super incompotent as a joke. I did it in assembly, my favorite programming language, as a gag. I then proceed to do that 40 more times with games nobody cares about as a joke. I then wrote code for the GBC source that wasn't incompotent as a joke. I also made a new bad rom database as a joke. I then drew hundreds of sprites ranging from barely started to completely finalized for Yoshi's Island and designed levels and everything as a joke. I also wrote hundreds of fake tape backups, you guessed it, as a joke. I also intentionally programmed in bugs, to Link's Awakening, made fake bug reports, and refused to address the bugs all for a laugh. And I did this in two languages as a joke. You all fell for it.

the stage that was shown to test slopes looks like early version of whomps fortress

The main character of Super Donkey is actually Stanley, from Donkey Kong 3 on the NES. Hence the name, Super Donkey!

These things are amazing! I would really love to see follow-ups for videos like Mario 64 and Yoshi's Island to cover the new stuff!

Snd_Test SFC I guess, Sound Test Super Famicom...? I assume this rom was to test the hardware capabilities

I did not expect to see my tweet here (9:44)

10:32 Bowser Jr? Um... I'm pretty sure that's Baby Bowser in SMW2 Yoshi's Island (considering it's a prequel to SMW1).

As much as I am iffy about these amazing unknown details being acquired by illegitimate means, I really wish Nintendo would just release some of this info officially. Hell, they could make an easy profit putting screenshots of all this material in a goddamn book, or even just an official statement, idk. These beta and proto elements are likely to never resurface again, so I’m one with game preservation and making this info known and definite.

Obviously the holy grail would be uncovering EarthBound 64, but even a proto build of Mother 2 would be amazing

Aw man, the NSMB source code wasn’t leaked, I really wanted to see the spherical icons

I think that super Donkey was going to be another Mario VS Donkey Kong game series but later they changed that game to the one we know today as Yoshi's Island

Greetings from Costa Rica!🙋

I can't believe I missed this video! I've been waiting for you to cover this.

The man really forgot to talk about the ARGONAUT YOSHI MODEL BEING FOUND smhhh

Miamoto a few minutes before death in the ER: here’s the booklet that has all the passwords for all the stuff in our warehouse, keep my company safe and don’t leak anything unused (They however leak unused content calling it The Petaleak for having petabytes of content

Could someone point me the name/game of the background song Andrew plays near the end? (Like in 16:20)

Gigaleak Beta64: Familly we eat today!

10:10 i didn't interpret that as the middle finger. i interpreted it as just adjusting his hat.

5:10 i wonder who's that limmynade fellow in the chat 🤔🤔

Super Donkey gives me Rayman vibes honestly

15:18 Those flying enemies look like Super Koopas. The mountain in the background is also very typical Super Mario World.

The Zelda II sprites could be from a 1988 tech demo of Zelda II that Nintendo made to show the power of the Super Famicom to the press.

So like, I know you guys are convinced Luigi’s giving the middle finger, but has it occurred to you that he could just be touching his hat?

I have a feeling this was kind of planned in the beginning a very long time ago by an actual Nintendo employee from one of the mainline game devs and they decided way back when they were still in their early years in the company and knew how historical all this was and important to the fans and players and they probably got the idea from how the military handles NDAs with certain things being no longer bound by agreement contracts after around 25 years And they probably figured it would be fine because after 25 years so much time would have passed I know Nintendo has been hacked before and this could definitely have easily been from Just a hacker but I don’t know it just has way too many signs of being planned and detailed

Pretty sure super donkey was an engine they bought and turned into Yoshi's Island we know today. So interesting, it even got the monkeys and the art style should be a dead giveaway.

Luigi is definitely not giving the middle finger, it's clearly his pointer finger. He's just tipping up his hat, you know, like a cowboy would do.

The last time we saw Andrew.

This man got balls talking into a bee.

This video has immortalized "Trending in United States #demonsperm"

Imagine someone just made all of this stuff and he said that this was the giga leak

They waited for the right time to come to reveal luigi

Tell this back in the day and everyone will think your crazy

that octo rock is so cute

4:28 Uncompressed funny beta Mario voice samples? Where are they in the gigaleak? I looked in the "bbgames" SM64 folder and didn't find any sounds. I know, the beta Mario samples can be listened to in another video but it'd be funny to have those samples on my computer.

15:24 I’m pretty sure that’s fake. That’s literally a Minecraft grass block texture

The skeleton is called Stalfos

Pretty cool to see the Mario World map. I’ve always wondered what it would look like

I heard a couple of people talking about Super Donkey maybe turned into rayman

The Luigi voice samples are obviously from SMA. They're even in the poor GBA sample rate, and they were found in the SMA folder. The mental gymnastics people went to to defend the idea that they may have "originally" been SM64 recordings (despite the fact that Martinet's Luigi was much deeper and less nasally back in the N64 days, and of course, the fact that they were in the SMA folder, so why would they be from SM64?) was annoying.

I was blessed with luigi
