Mario 64 Beta Level FOUND!!! - Stage 3 (Donjon/Funhouse)

[@paulnovacek3715]

"Please note, this isn't a meme video. This is a legitimate find. " This makes me absolutely ecstatic. People have been trying to find as much as they can for the beta for years and this is a huge step. Even if its in a legal grey area, I'm so glad all these leaks surfaced today.

[@StuffeyStuffs]

Leaks of old games are kind of good for the public. We think that they are lost or deleted but in reality, they still exist but getting to them is hard and you risk your life to do it. (Risking I mean going to jail) We get 1 step closer to the spaceworld 95 demo. I can't wait to see it getting leaked.

[@starIightglimmer]

Yeah this one is really unsettling

[@AuntieAliasing]

test levels in games just be like that

[@GRAnimated]

i wouldn't call it a test level, it's just a prototype all of the old versions of the SM64 stages were like this with colorful textures on big flat models the ones that made it into the final game though were redesigned with more realistic textures in mind, luckily though

[@buzzedgalaxy]

Technically this is forbidden knowledge since it wasn't for the public to see

[@Infindox]

I mean technically we all are viewing forbidden knowledge with this

[@FlameLFH]

The mapped image textures depicting field backgrounds look like areas Mario could transition to levels with. It's possible that this is some kind of unused HUB area.

[@coronelfalk]

I have a theory, since i've seen a variation of this map with enemies: To make the room work properly you need 8 stars. The game lets you enter the room, but there is nothing in it (like what happens with the infinite staircase room.). Just some water here and there. But, if you bring the required amount of stars, Mario will play the animation he always does when he enters a new room of the castle through a star door. Then you will start to hear the merry go around music. The room is suddenly filled with enemies like goombas, bob-ombs and chain chomps, and there is a time limit now. Your mission is to defeat all enemies before time reaches 0. When you succeed in doing that, the "secret found" sfx plays and a hole appears in front of the door you came from. Then when you fall into the hole, you play through the Bowser in the Dark World level normally.

[@neonflights5951]

@@coronelfalk that is a very interesting theory! It certainly would explain the Merry-Go-Round music

[@coronelfalk]

Here i have another theory: This was supossed to be the entire castle. The room with space textures all over the walls would be where the tick tock clock painting would be located. The tall wall that has a drawing of a grassland would be the Bobomb Battlefield painting. The room with pink textures would be the painting to the level where you use the wing cap to collect red coins, but expanded. (kind of a stretch). The room with blue textures would be where the Jolly Roger Bay painting would be located. The room with three repeated drawings would be where the Cool Cool Mountain would be located.(even though the drawings dont resemble a snow level.)

[@oceanautical]

I have an even better theory: It was simply a test room to test different surfaces. You really shouldn’t look into that much. Still cool seeing some early Whomp’s Fortress textures though.

[@FlameLFH]

@@oceanautical What else do you think 2:05 is for? No developer would bother creating textures that detailed for a simple test level.

[@blueblur98]

I genuinely have a hard time wrapping my head around this. The fact that this is *100% real* is absolutely astounding. We've never, ever been able to take this close of a look at what an actual Super Mario 64 prototype ROM would look like. I mean, we were able to unearth the actual, official Luigi model intended for the game before he was scrapped. That is something I genuinely thought would never happen in my lifetime, yet here we are, finding legitimate assets from a 25-year-old Nintendo 64 prototype. It's kind of heartwarming in an odd way. This feels like a pipe dream. Yet it's happening right before our eyes.

To me the coolest part about all this is to wonder what the original purpose of a level like this was. Were they planning to build a fully playable level here, with stars scattered throughout the whole stage and stopped midway through? Were they only testing the placement of the textures? Is that why there are so many out of place textures here? Were they testing the scaling of Mario to a level? Is that why Mario looks so tiny in comparison to the rest of the stage? Was this going to be a hub level? Was this going to be an underwater level, with only coins to recover your breath? Man, I really hope they uncover more stuff like this, and that the modders really go wild with their imaginings of the true purpose of these levels were in the beginnning.

i also think it might be a luigi level because of how simple it is. iirc, in febuary 1996 they had to choose between having no luigi but having skilled levels, and have luigi but have simple levels. they choose option 1 sadly, and thats why i think this was for luigi, though i do belive it was a test the level the same percent.

You know something? This level looks more like a really early hub world than a level to me. Perhaps even earlier than the castle? There's even seemingly an exit to an outside area! (it's just a model though so obviously it doesn't work)

The funniest thing is that before this there were all those personalised creepypasta vids and now we have some legit stuff and L WAS FREAKING REAL AFTER 2401 LETS GOOOO

This looks like what happens when you jiggle the cartridge and end up somewhere you're not supposed to be.

This either a trippy level or a early version of peaches castle, but who knows Every copy of mario 64 is personalized
