Mario Kart 64's Unused "Town" Track

This was an unused track from Mario Kart 64 that was able to be restored recently. In this video I explore the track a bit and try out some time trials. Next Town video will be showing the shortcut success.
Big shout out to micro500 for putting together a lot of the level data to get this to work and DeadHamster for finishing it off. The music was also added into the level based on the beta's title screen music with help from Litronom.

Check out the video of me and my brother trying to play this track in 2-player grand prix! kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXXCg42Gm8uXeKs

[@warmCabin]

Can you imagine if this was in the actual game? There'd be all these shortcuts, theories and rumors about getting inside the houses, a fixation on one particular building, a creepypasta about someone's brother getting lost and haunting the streets (his grave can be seen at 8:53 )...

[@zinklian1899]

This is like the course you would have dreams about playing and then never finding it in the actual game.

[@MrNinjaFish]

every kart is personalised

[@EduardoFerreira-yi4qc]

you matched the old internet style so well in this comment, i think this would have been the most divided track by fans because there would have been a bunch of people who loved it because of the theme, and there would be a bunch of people who would hate it because of the gameplay and map

Nice 1234 lap

[@nd4656]

Nice minimap

No

[@arunabhthakuria1731]

didn't get 12'34"56 though Sadge

[@SteRDLK]

The first time somebody ever had an 11 minute cut for a Mario Kart best lap

[@enigmazach]

Jumping on the roofs certainly seems like it would have some shortcut potential.

[@brandonm1708]

They already figured out a shortcut using that; Abney got it during the same stream lol. Not sure why he didn’t show that in this video

[@electricmaster23]

@@brandonm1708 I was gonna say... very surprising that he didn't immediately make a beeline for the finish line, especially when he mentioned it.

[@abney317mk]

Will have a separate video for exclusively the shortcut. (And the 2 player session also)

[@electricmaster23]

@@abney317mk Nice. Our appetites are whetted.

[@lifeatpaddyspub]

obsessed with the song

[@__-_.]

Is the song from the game or fan made? (I haven’t made it through the entire video yet I’m just really curious)

[@Brw78]

This looks like an early version of Delfino square or was an inspiration for it.

[@doctorphrog]

Who would have guessed we’d get MK64 DLC?

[@panamanianbootyscout1768]

the map and song feel like a mod someone made 20 years after the game came out or something. super out of place

[@retell5]

Funny you mentioned this, those were my initial thoughts too. This doesn't really look or feel authentic to the actual game. I call B.S!!

[@IsadoraGameOver]

*27:04** Even the removed tracks have Ultra Shortcuts*

Imagine if they add this as the final stage in the booster course pass in the spiny cup!

[@heydavedawson]

Me seeing the thumbnail: Aw a little town. Why wouldn't they include that? Me seeing the map: Oh Christ.

[@jazzabighits4473]

Loled so hard at "lets do a 3 lap run" and then the instant restart. Very interesting course and geometry here though Beck, thanks for the upload

Great video dude :) Looking forward to the short cut versions!

[@alexk1682]

This was so fun to watch, especially when your brother joined. Some of those finishes you guys had were hilarious.

Love the soundtrack.

This is like Goldeneye and Mario Kart put together. Would have been great for battle

They shouldve named it Town Maze

[@daniel_naaden]

super cool! driving on the roofs was awesome to watch!

[@ganondalf8090]

lol it looks more like a battle map than a proper track

[@jon4715]

I bet they had planned for a battle map version without the barriers. Would have been amazing.

[@graduator14]

How did I not know this before!? Awesome!

[@Herv3]

They should have gotten rid of the guard rails and have made it a battle map.

[@JosephHk743]

This is interesting to see this unused track.

[@metroidfannumber1234]

That soundtrack is the most midi sounding midi I've ever heard.

[@user-vk6ii3ds1e]

They should have included this...as a secret bonus level with Kamek. I would have played this game forever if that was in here!

[@reedwilliams757]

High quality content

[@drizzly___]

Might be wrong but it looks like you can cut a u turn around the dirty soil area by jumping into it and going to the left

[@fledgling5616]

kewl

[@skatefilter360]

Oh crap that exist in the game files?!?! I would even know this can be game shark codes but sadly I didn't get to play this "unused" map.

[@clausmartini1074]

How do I get to this level? From looking at your video, it should be under Mushroom Cup, but I'm not sure how to get to the Town level from there. I know I patched it successfully because it has the mod menu and all that stuff at the beginning. Btw, I can see why they cut this map. It's fun but can be a bit annoying. Would make for an awesome SM64 level though. Kaze should use it in a future hack.

[@skiptisdale3912]

This music bumpin

[@BicharracoCL]

I need to ask this (probably a dumb question): Is that music theme part of the original removed track or somebody just put it there?

[@abney317mk]

Was used in the title screen of the beta, it is unknown what music might have been used on this level though.

[@BicharracoCL]

@@abney317mk thx man. Pretty cool uh

[@benhurley02]

The music is actually the theme for the menu for the prototype i think

[@liamtilton1214]

What kind of time is Matthias packing on this bad boy

[@willem6605]

I wonder if they included the rails you can jump over intentionally, as a skip...

[@Chumela62]

I keep replaying this video because of the song. Anybody else with me?

I wonder if anyone could bring back the parking garage track.. Also, the giant tracks being too long might be less of a problem if the karts had much more powerful engines. We're talking _Formula Mario._

Its not about the length. It is about the flow and space in a map. All the other maps have continues flow if you ride them properly. And enough space to get by opponents. This one has no flow and sometimes decent space.
