Do you think Hell just plays that overworld song on loop for eternity

I wonder why they decided to get rid of that amazing lore, I definetively would never have guessed Cackletta was queen bean's sister, I'm disappointed at the hodded beanish guy, his design was so cool tho.

Who knew that the Yoshi theather sequence was originally going to something completly different? Either way, pretty cool to see all this beta content from one of my favourite games of all time.

I get why they changed defense to just whatever the situation is for the attack, but I love this idea of having to figure out the best way of defending against a certain enemy or attack with either the jump or the hammer. But both could work with the proper timing. This is already very interesting.

I just wanna say, I really appreciate the way Rookie's used sprite falls down and bobs a bit as he lands. Love every tiny little attention to detail you put in with your editing.

I find it hilarous that Mario and Luigi just are casually dancing while a magic ball of death causing about 950 damage is heading to their foes, I know it's just a placeholder but I feel like the devs put that in just for the fun of it

It's so cool to see that some of this unused content was added in later games. Like Jump, Hammer, etc. being their own selection blocks in battle. A bummer we never got to switch Jump defense and Hammer defense tho.

Cackletta being Queen Bean's younger sister is interesting

5:56 truly the most tragic change in the entire prototype.

That dry bones has definitely seen some things

22:42 This character had so much potential, like... an actually good sidequest, a bonus sidequest you can unlock after you beat the game!

It'd be interesting if someone made a ROM hack adding in some of the unused features. I'm thinking in particular the "choose how to defend" mechanic which would have added a lot more to the game.

wow! having to choose how to defend in battle is actually really interesting! could you maybe showcase how interactions that don't normally happen work in this? (for example, hammering a beannie doing its ram attack) Also, having NPCs in starbean café makes it so much more lively, shame it's empty in the final game

22:41 So you talk with a guy with a red scarf, and he sends you to a dark world... Where have I seen this before?

Really glad to see what that mystery bean guy was suppost to be. I am dissapointed but also glad

Imagine hearing the fucking prototype overworld music everywhere you go

6:40 this would have been really cool to see in the final game. It would have added a good challenge to be forced to decide between hammer and jumo defense

22:41 It's the mysterious cloaked beanish! Aaand it is a dissapointing side quest. No wonder they were removed in the final game.

Today I learned that the Luigi Nutsack Pow move existed. Immediately booted up my game to try it LOL

So the Yoshi Theater was what replace the "Cultivated Mushroom" siequest for yoshi getting the beanstar shard, interesting.

This game was my childhood. Sooo cool to see how much could've been different.

8:25 The tree seen here actually does exist in the final game, it’s the tree that’s behind the thunder orb in the area south of the entrance to Teehee Valley. I always wondered why that was the only tree that looked different.

so the hooded Beanish person this entire time was for a small and annoying side quest?

Huh, those translations are a pretty nice addition

Well at least we know what that cloaked bean guy sprite was for. Been documented on TCRF for years now, and we finally know what it was supposed to be!

17:57 It's also worth noting (not that it really matters) that the bike pads didn't have the brother's button shown at its base.

Seems like the sound used when picking up a battery was reused for the Cobalt Star shards in PiT 7:00 The lil' gag of the textbox moving with the Hammerhead bros. isn't there :(

1:24 i love how they left a little note here

I feel like the original version of defense, where you had access to jump and hammer at the same time and had to figure out which one to use would have made the game significantly better, as the fact that dodging attacks is generally somewhat too simple is one of the series' biggest issues (you can dodge almost all attacks trivially throughout the series by just pressing A and B at the same time, so you don't have to pay attention to which bro needs to dodge, only a very few attacks are designed to punish you for doing this).

Oh boy, this video is officially linked on the Super Mario Wiki for the unused lore about Cackletta and Queen Bean!

Hello, Skawo. I am hoping you can clarify something regarding this demo. The text is Japanese, but I was under the impression that the English version came first, a quick search says the English version released first, albeit by only a few days. Does this have the Japanese version changes, such as heart blocks? Did they translate this to English then make changes then translate it back? I’m curious where in development this demo exists.

Let’s be honest here, The hooded beanish guy was a very Interesting character to me, I really like his design tho 🫠 22:42 But the side quest was really annoying tho 😓 23:19

Oh yeah. Is Mario's ability to spot beans also unimplemented? When he's Tiny, in the final game an exclamation mark appears above his head, telling you there's a bean to dig up.

Did the minecart battery sounds get used anywhere else in the game? Either way, seems like they got used for the Cobalt Star in PiT. Also, the flip block bikes feel slower because they move when a brother lands on them, instead of immediately from jumping.

That Yoshi looks cursed!

11:14 i actually had thought that was a shining flower XD Also, am i the only one who likes the battle UI more than the final game's?

so THERE IS a voice clip for the word tickle! but i wonder why exactly it was taken out from the final game (even if it sounds off and not very fitting in a way) also apparently the bros icons on the overworld come included with a street sign, thats cool

Some interesting changes. The dodging system seems...curious, I'd personally prefer it to what we got.

Many people mention the 'choose your defense' thing, and I have the feeling that it's going to be added into brothership based on a few context cues from the trailer

As cool as that mysterious hooded Beanish is, I can totally see why they cut him lol

21:58 Could they be referring to the unused character cameos? It seems that overall, this build of the game predates a slightly later version thats yet to be uncovered that may actually have working versions of the character cameos

15:01 "Tickle is not a real ability. It can't hurt you."

2:05 yippie! yippie! yippie! yippie! yippie! yippie! yippie! yippie!

22:09 Wow, i didn't know that Satan was a part of the Superstar Saga beta.

Isn't this build only a few months older than the final? It's genuinely insane how many differences there are.

A never before heard Martinet clip

14:47 Luigi clone himself. 15:08 TICKLE 17:02 Wish they didn't fix that. 22:05 FUN

10:13 As we've found out ourselves, it's leaving battle via the stats screen that takes away your hammer. Something relating to the demo, maybe?

The early collection sound in the minecart minigame sounds suspiciously like the cobalt star.

The boss defeat animation actually looks nicer here

on 22:06 the word フン doesn't mean "fun" but "hmph!" like exaggerating frustration. the translation "fun" is just transliteration of it since フ is "fu" and ン is "n"

Would have genuinely liked the feature where you have to choose how to defend, adds more levels of depth to the battle system and I think it would have been great

10:44ヨッシーシアターなんかなかった 22:06ゲラゲモーナはマメラの妹 22:45孤独な魔術師

Where was the magician when Cackletta destroyed the town! Some Magician he turned out to be 😅

I love how the placeholder song progressively becomes more and more irritating.

Every time I hear that melody with the xylophone I think about SpongeBob walking

3:31 those round things kinda almost look like the puffs that you knock off of ruff n puff

That Yoshi bit was so cool and in line with the rest of the game even, it’s sad they scrapped it

15:11 woulda been sick to hear these reimplemented in the remake in all their uncompressed glory but oh well

Yoshi looks good in this style in his old design

I wish they kept the cutscenes and the cookie bros.

I wanna see a fangame where you choose between jumping and hammering during dodging.

Aw, no Starbeans cameos. Disappointing, but I kinda expected it to not be implemented.

14:48 Hey Luigi! I didn't knewd you had a Clone!

Will the sprites for this demo be ripped ? There may be lot of cool stuff in the files

22:06 unuse Cackletta/Queen Bean lore?

I know people who ship Queen Bean and Cackletta, wonder how they're feeling right now...

I decided to check out this myself, and I think you missed something interesting. If you retry the minecart minigame after you clear it, you see some of the most obscure sprites in the game. In the final they look extremely rough and off-model, in the beta here they look crushed and completely unfinished. What's most interesting to me though is that the sprites have Mario and Luigi with blue eyes, like Peach has in this version. Also, I think you forgot to mention last that Peach has different sprites from the final. I should note that by "after you clear it" I mean, literally directly after you reach the other side once the minigame is over. you have to beat it, and then before leaving the room walk up to the guy and talk to him and say you want to ride again.

Mario saying *_T i c k l e_* like that got me feeling oddly weird. Otherwise, genuinely great prototype find, not gonna lie.

It’s not that you can’t dig up beams, it’s that the flag isn’t set to allow you to do so. In the final, you have to talk to one of the chicklehuck trees first.

Lore of [TCRF] Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga Demo Indepth Look - Part 2 momentum 100

Interesting there would have been an extra layer of strategy to know whether to jump or use the hammer for counterattacks

Can you drop the cheat code used to unlock all abilities? Also, if you use Bros. attacks in the placeholder Bowser fight, the color palettes glitch out and the game softlocks after the fight. The video I uploaded to my channel shows this at the end. I was not aware at first that the use of Bros. attacks was the culprit.

Is that freaking Bullfrog from Captain Laserhawk?

Woohoo Hooniversity will have its creepy unused theme?

Noooo the cameos are not implemented yet, is it at least in the code of the demo?

Is it actually playing that song the whole time or did you just edit it over?

I started to hate that placeholder overworld song

Nintendo needs to remake partners in time. #ReviveM_and_L #BringBackMario_and_Luigi #remakepit #remasterpit 👇

Typography error at 8:54 i think (flowersused)

Do you know what address causes you to lose your hammers after every battle? It's kinda making playing this a bit infuriating

Can you please put the code you used for getting to chucklehuck woods

What happens if you get a game over?

How to play this beta?

it would have been so much better if you had put the difference in side by side comparasion :(

God those old dry bones sprites are cursed
