12:14 my guess is that the heads of those characters are bigger, so they had to be placed further back in order to fit in the character select circles

[@markymark443]

That makes sense actually

[@luxrayblast]

9:04 - 9:14 That is literally the theme of Shesez's show, Boundary Break! You can't hide that reference from us! Great Reference!

[@BronyBladeGaming]

Yeah! Thats a good reference tho

[@koltwalk5794]

I love it

[@nortonman5238]

[@BrimBlam]

I cant speak for the development of games, but I’ve worked with crews in college on animation projects and sometimes assets like the “capsule cant/isnt used” text could be a note to either programmers or a reminder not to waste time on making it for someone who might think it still needs to be done.

[@elnkr2603]

What's weird though is that the text still got translated even though it's never seen ingame

[@KiraSlith]

Or more likely, they were for debug use on a test map without those features on it.

[@grn1]

@@elnkr2603 That seems to be pretty common, I presume all of the text is actually stored in a single file and the translators just go through line by line. Sometimes they seem to stop at this step while other times you can tell the translated version was actually play tested a bit so they could clean up the translations. As for the original question it's possible that those capsules were actually used but not as capsules, it may have just been easier for the programmers to use capsule objects with some custom code for something.

[@neoqwerty]

@@grn1 My bet is that they were intending on randomizing DK and VS spaces and using the capsule mechanic already provided was probably easier than hardcoding some new rng to shuffle them.

[@ok-kh9il]

Time to watch a beta version of my childhood

You should've waited until the full version of your childhood was released.

This is not a beta?? This video was made with the release version

[@thegamingchannel7110]

I was born in the Wii U era :(

[@Imirui]

3:29 I believe the DK capsule is used for generating DK spaces like how random red spaces are assigned to be bowser spaces, and the VS space was used to generate VS spaces (4 player games). The bowser, vs, and dk capsules are used for generation of boards.

[@zigazav1]

lol, that Shesez "Boundary Break" reference! Good on you Tetra, I was waiting for that reference joke in this video. The moment you said: "We can move the camera; ANYwhere we want" I was expecting a Boundary Break reference

[@TetraBitGaming]

😎

[@milk_choc7889]

I did not expect the sudden Boundary Break reference! You're taking its role slowly over time...

[@hpr2986]

One day, ONE DAY OFF FROM THE RELEASE DATE OF THE NEW GAME. You were so close! Oh yea also baby bowser 🥶🥶

[@velvetbutterfly]

Probably wanted to have people watch it now so because people would be too busy playing the new game tomorrow?

[@adamspeiser6449]

I love how you mentioned the possibility of memes. If we randomly start seeing Mario Party 5 memes out of nowhere, I will at least know why now.

[@NintendoTV64]

Mario Party 5 will always be my all-time favorite Mario Party games, but I'm really excited to see how the LOST BITS episodes for 6, 7, and 8 play out!

[@GabePuratekuta]

And not 9 & 10.

[@therewasnoattempt8373]

@@GabePuratekuta imo 9 was at least not as bad as 10 since 9 had its moments and the minigames were better. 10 felt very bland and boring to me

[@TheFriedturkey]

At 11:32 the possible reason why it has a model with blacked out windows is because in games alpha blending (semi transparent textures or materials) usually has issues displaying alpha blending through a alpha blending surface and the game gets confused at what order it needs to render that surface, there are ways to combat it by defining properties in meshes if it’s the same object but two different objects is when it becomes harder, not sure if that’s a issue in this game, but most games I’ve looked into even modern ones have that issue

[@teaoftraffic]

Unfortunately, this game marks the end of our NOW PRINTING graphic. We will miss you, NOW PRINTING.

[@geoffabbythomas7293]

yes.

Piracy is no party, but unused test rooms are.

[@Daniel_Coffman]

Nice Boundary Break reference, lol. I love that series, too.

[@velvetbutterfly]

Even with 99 turns and perfect RNG, I don't think it's possible to obtain 999 stars. In past games 99 was arguably possible

[@carlsson1758]

Tetra: And a large moon in the background: Ummm that's the earth

[@Ukysseus]

It’s cool and sad that there’s no lost mini game in MP5, nothing to discover but we could play everything

[@TheMaskedFox288]

Tetra: * doesn't do a dance montage with the character animations * Me: my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined

[@Bacchus325]

This is the best Mario Party if you ask me. Capsules are actually way better than items. They're so much more flexible.

[@mickkelley3776]

2:28 Wow, this game is pretty mini.

[@kingnewcomer2029]

Once again outstanding Lost Bits video, Tetra! 😃 Yeah, I have no idea why Donkey Kong was cut as a playable character in this game, and only as an NPC for the next 12 years, and items were reduced to just capsules either (but, hey, since MP10 on the Wii U in 2015, he’s made a grand return (minus Mario Party: 100 Mini-Game Collection (The Top 100’s Japanese title, which I prefer more personally), for whatever reason), which is awesome). It is also a shame that the beta title wasn’t utilized in the final version as I thought it’d look a lot cooler with the animations, but at least we still have the character silhouettes on the file select screen! My favorite feature was definitely the one with all the different animations for each character which no doubt will be used as memes! 🤣 Can’t wait for the next LB video on MP6! 👌

[@YamiYuseiGG]

Nice Boundary Break reference in the Debug Capsules section.

[@xxroyalprincexx6811]

Mario Party 5 is my first Mario Party game ever, and I loved it, it was a great game.

[@Georger761]

do mario party 6 lost bits pls

[@EP1CxEMAN08]

Tetra: "It seems like they even found the spellcheck button this time!" Game: "Number of Playes"

[@IceHeartAlpha]

12:20 my guess is that their way of move is someway different because anatomy? all 6 have very normal body size wario and toad has a bigger torso so arms dont move much bowser jr(?) has a shell so arms are more in front so harder to more arms back and boo is a ball, the most free in movement

[@neoqwerty]

The capsule text for DK and VS spaces sound like they were meant to be randomly placed on the board at the start of play phase, like how in the first Mario Party games you had the star locations shown to you in the intro. Maybe it was even supposed to be the board host or DK throwing the capsule, or it would have gotten a new throw each time that space was set off to randomize it further.

[@TheTrueYeetKing]

7:41 Ok are we seriously not gonna talk about the fact that Boo's name in Japanese is Teresa?

[@KKingOfficial]

Love the Shesez shoutout in the debug capsule part

[@RedWithTheLongYoutubeHandle]

I think the reason why the characters are far away from the others in the character selection is because they would clip into other characters portraits. Don’t know why wario is far back though.

[@JojiLegend]

Yeah or their models where too big and didn't look too good.

[@AmbrosiusAmaimon]

That unused map looks like it was meant for the battle royale mode! That was my favorite feature of the game as a kid :)

[@hpr2986]

10:58 mfw I install a bar that continues spinning, that I am sadly stuck on.

[@a.l.a.s.t-g.i.r8632]

Maybe the donkey Kong and vs capsules were made to test the functionality of those game modes.

The unused beep was actually for unsavory language used by someone when they were in first and someone got 3 miracle capsules. Not sure why they left that in there though. (I'm kidding btw)

[@thegamingchannel7110]

That bowser capsule description could have been used for like a capsules obtained viewer,like a menu showing every capsule you-ve gotten

[@joshslater2426]

I like the capsule gimmick and since I wouldn’t play as Donkey Kong relegating him to a board function doesn’t bother me.

[@aliyahwilliams3179]

*MARCO PARTY 6&9 WAS PRETTY FUN*

[@codenameyellow8903]

I think I know what the capsules were meant for my best guess is they were used to test how DK and VS minigames work in game as a sought of faster way of testing it to see if the text and everything appeared all right when doing the vs mode developers often do stuff like this to quickly check stuff in game but I'm probably wrong considering that Mario parties have debugs so it would be obsolete.

[@Pacmanfan-po9rn]

I could never get into this series, which is good for beginners

[@kiaelinkx]

4 for multiplayer, 5 if you want cpu with decent AI.

[@velvetbutterfly]

Super and SuperStars both allow for online multiplayer which could be good, if you don't have friends who play you can find Discord communities. But if you want a solid single player experience then 2, 5, and 7 are the ones I would recommend. Although it seems I may be nostalgia blind about 5 because I watched a LP and the guys playing it all complained about the minigames

[@skeletorthebest7204]

[@TKize777]

Jeeze if I wasnt so biased as MP5 was my first owned MP, I'd say you *really* hated orbs instead of actual items.

[@ILoveCats6000]

Late to the party here, but I think warriors, toad, koopa kid, and boo were moved back because they’re thicker than the others, so maybe they’d clip into the other’s portraits if they weren’t moved!

[@SombreAria]

Taking note of characters' names; Mini Bowser (here in Europe) is known as Mini Koopa in Japan -- which makes sense. It does make me curious why in the North America he's called "Kid Koopa", though... Also when do we get a character called "Kid Mini" to complete the quad-fecta?

The unused test map could've been a battlefield test site for super duel mode.
