Super Mario 64 Beta Full Game! (Preservation Project)

[@RealBathanielNandy]

You can find the build in the description, however I will NOT be providing a ROM (I never do with any of these mods). You need to legally obtain that yourself if you want to try this game out. Figured I should leave a comment for this particular video because I know a lot people have been wanting to see this mod completed!

B3313

[@Butterstix2014]

Some (rough) translations of the Japanese text: 1:58 “This castle is only for exhibitions/exclusively used for this exhibition. It connects to many worlds, so please enter open the door ahead of you to start your adventure.” 3:00 If you’re able to climb this mountain, there’s a surprise waiting at the top. 5:57 “Whether you want to go to the left or to the right is up to you, so the c button carefully and quickly!” I assume they’re hinting at looking around to where you want to go. It probably sounds better in Japanese. I’d probably translate it not so literally. 8:09 “For those who want to feel the wind, feel free to try and jump on in the hole on the left. It feels great”

[@Reaktron88]

So the B3313 text is actually pretty accurate?

Oh my goodness, it’s finally here. First, we got Luigi’s Mansion Beta Restoration, then we got Zelda SW97, and now we got the Mario 64 beta restoration. That’s awesome

[@albrecht41]

Didn't knew about the Luigi's Mansion Beta one, that's so cool

[@NunofYerbizness]

Also the Zelda SW97 Experience (an Ocarina of Time mod that replicates how the game was like when it was demoed at Spaceworld 1997, using the assets from an F-Zero X overdump cart)

[@Mike14264]

Zelda SW97 is out too??

[@thesupervideogamenerdmore3171]

Now we need SMSunshine's beta restoration. That open world stage with the tramplin Stus will be hard to recreate.

[@clouds-rb9xt]

@@Mike14264 Yes, Zel640 and a small team made it a while back. It's really neat, they recently published a patch that did some minor fixes. He's a really down to earth guy, I chat with him on occasion. I'm surprised at how well they got it down in so little time. There's also a neat map select of bonus content like an unfinished version of the Forest Temple and Fire Temple, albeit they aren't really useful for much other than exploring but it's neat nonetheless.

[@supreme-ss777]

11:20 There are mines from Bowser's arenas here because the developers originally wanted them in for difficulty, but since Dire Dire Docks was pushed back later in the game, they were removed to give players a breather.

[@SueZQue83]

Being able to play the Beta of SM64 is something I’ve wanted for so so long Game Betas are so interesting

[@myhunterinsurance]

Same here!! Ever since those screenshots in Nintendo Power (or was it EGM?) I've always been interested in this beta.

[@Casketkrusher_]

They are indeed, as a kid playing the demo of Crash Bandicoot 3 there was a different warp room in the level spheres, when I got the full game I always thought there was a way to unlock that warp room shown in the demo, but I didn't know any better back then, I remember trying to do everything to unlock it lol

[@BananaMana69]

The fact that Marios movement could basically be called complete here, yet nintendo went back and tweaked it even more to make it better and add cool stuff this late in development shows how much they really cared about making Mario fun to control. Not to mention their late addition of the long jump probably led to the backwards long jump glitch.

[@Reaktron88]

I think it's more of a glitch with slopes than a glitch with long jumps. Slopes are always glitchy in video games.

[@frkieran]

@@Reaktron88 no, it's just because there's no speed cap on negative speed. so if you can land quickly you can get the 1.5x speed boost from a long jump quicker than air slows you down

[@jordancanmusic]

It actually makes sense that JRB wasn't in the demo, but DDD was, since it's the level the song is named after

[@olds86307]

it was in an earlier build

[@EPIC_BOI69]

[@SureshNathan-ns7qw]

From discovering the actual pre-release footages, I find some things isn't in the Preservation Project: Jolly Roger Bay doesn't exist in this hack. It has bluey water and a bigger ship with different layout. There is a footage of Mario punching Boos in a house with unused brown brick texture. Maybe Big Boo's Haunt was in the beta version. There is also a footage where Mario messing around in a stage with some unused textures. Surprisingly it was a test stage which was found in the 2020 Nintendo Gigaleak where Luigi was found too. TTM's slide in CCM was extended and doesn't have a dead end at all.

[@Reaktron88]

It's the one used in B3313.

[@SteveStead-jc3ty]

Let’s just thank Charles martinet for coming into the studio and voicing Mario because without him we would have this cursed voice

[@KurtisEllis]

[@applepieclub5012]

[@Dashiell777]

And the text when you enter the castle says "Because this is connected to various reasons it seems to be. Please open the door and use it." 1st stage: "If you can climb this mountain, you will be surprised." 2nd stage "Whether you go to Migi or Hidari, use your C button well and quickly!" 3rd: "If you want to catch a cold, try jumping into the folds. It ’s really nice." Wouldn't put a ton of stock in that hahaha.
