Kirby Air Ride - RECOVERED Secret Test Map

Exploring a test map that no one could access until very recently and discussing how it was made accessible
Shoutouts to container12345 for creating the playable version of this level.

[@rudytabootie9561]

I think the "restoration area" is actually a Water physics test. You can see the water splashing sprites when you're driving on it. The vehicle slightly bobs up and down as if it was on water also.

Japanese translations, courtesy of Jisho.org!: (I've only just started learning Japanese, so I could be wrong about any and all of the following transcriptions and translations. Take this comment with a grain of salt.) かべ = kabe. A wall, barrier, or obstacle. ゆか = yuka. The floor. ダッシュ = dasshu. Literally the English word "dash" written in katakana. 箱エリア = hako eria. "hako" means "box" and "eria" is just "area" written in katakana, so this is literally "box area." リングチェック H = ringu chekku H. Literally "ring check" written in katakana followed by the letter H. エリアライト補完 = eria raito hokan. -2:57, 6:16- "area light" written in katakana followed by -a kanji that I can't make out. The second kanji seems to speak of the end or conclusion of something, so this might be the finish line box.- "hokan," which means complementation, supplementation, or completion. 反発壁 = hanpatsu kabe. "hanpatsu" here probably means opposition, resistance, rebounding, or repulsion. "kabe" is the same as before; it means "wall." So dice's translation seems pretty accurate. -自田移動- 自由移動 = -jitaidou?- jiyuu idou. -From what I gather, it means something like "movement as if through a rice field." Rice fields are inevitably muddy, so it sounds like it's supposed to slow you down.- "jiyuu" means "freedom" or "liberty" and "idou" means movement, so this is literally free movement. スーパージャンプ = suupaa janpu. Literally "super jump" written in katakana. スーパージャンプ予告 = suupaa janpu yokoku. "super jump" followed by "advance notice, previous note, or preliminary announcement​." A heads-up that there's about to be a super jump? ローカル死亡 = rookaru shibou. "rookaru" is "local" written in katakana, and "shibou" is death or mortality. So the box's name is appropriate; it's a death barrier. ワープゲート = waapu geeto. "Warp gate" in katakana. ワープ出口 = waapu deguchi. "deguchi" means "exit" or "gateway," so this is apparently the far end of a warp gate. 反響? (The box squashes the texture, so this one is really hard to read.) = hankyou. Echo or reverberation. -遮 [?] 2.- 遮蔽 2 = shahei 2. -5:41--, --5:54-- I can't find the second kanji in --Jisho.org-- for some reason. Could be that I'm misreading the radicals. The first kanji has connotations of interception, interruption, or obstruction.- This means "screen, shielding, or reverse clipping​." Apparently, this is a barrier or a shield of some type. No idea why it's followed by a 2. There were several other textures in the video that I couldn't even begin to read, so this is by no means an exhaustive list. Also, any help with the kanji that I couldn't read would be very welcome and appreciated!

[@chamap7723]

エリアライト?完　is エリアライト補完 -> Area Light Supplementation not 自田移動. it's 自由移動 - Jiyuu Idou, literally "free movement". 遮? -> 遮蔽 Shahei, which means "cover" or "shielding"

[@E-102_Gamma]

Ahh, I see. Thank you for the corrections. :)

[@megagustman]

+E-102 Gamma "Shahei 2" could mean "Shahei *version* 2", as in, they made 2 versions of "Shahei" but they deleted "Shahei 1" for whatever reason.

[@E-102_Gamma]

It was pinned, actually. Editing it must have un-pinned it...

[@E-102_Gamma]

[@redfuzzydice]

Hey all! I'm thinking of doing a video on SIMPLE2 and maybe also an uncommentated demo of the level in this video for people who prefer not to have commentary. Would anyone be interested?

Did GameCube dev units have more memory than retail units?

[@marcfyre]

It's either that, or the devs used level designer software on their computers instead of on GameCube hardware when they were trying and using this map, before the game was ported to the actual console.

[@sgwyoshi]

Wow this debug level alone makes me think I missed a great title on the gc

[@tomc.5704]

Yup, had a lot of fun playing this one. One of the great party games.

[@RapierIsRowdy]

i would love if they made a sequel to this game on the switch

[@Solibrae]

Maybe the upcoming Kirby Switch game will have an Air Ride-style minigame as an extra mode.

[@XaneMyers]

I'd like a Kirby Air Ride 2 with a way bigger city to freely drive around! (of course, if this happens, it'll be on a new Nintendo console I don't own, but still)

[@Jethro-goro]

The "rebound wall" stage feature is used in a certain part of City Trial's underground, serving as a one-way exit from beneath the northern volcano. The green rail at 5:56 looks to have a water effect on it, reminding me of the water section at the end of Celestial Valley

[@gamemasterplc]

Please credit container12345 for making this possible

[@ClassyDragon]

ローカル死亡 (rookaru shibo) actually translates to something like "Local mortality", not road mortality.

[@Joziah3]

Ah. I was beaten to it.

[@Solibrae]

So it means something like 'Death area'?

[@KurenaiHideyoshi]

(+Solibrae III) Exactly.

[@329link]

seeing so many unused course features really makes me wish this game had more courses... which then makes me want a sequel.

[@AGwolf2097]

Man, Kirby's Air Ride was such a great game... it's so simple on the surface but I'd argue it's as demanding and dynamic as F-Zero or any other fantasy racer. The only person I've ever known who actually understood how to play the game properly and appreciated its content and challenges was a girl I was dating at the time. We spent endless hours doing the City Trial and upgrading our ships for all the different objectives, we focused on the challenge grid to unlock stuff, and everything we did was deliberate, we weren't just fumbling around mindlessly like so many other people I've tried to show the game to... it was one of the most fun multiplayer experiences I've ever had. None of my other friends over the years ever really got the hang of how to play it, so half the fun of the game is lost :( I'll have to check out this debug menu sometime

[@Xeon897]

3:35 could also be interpreted as 'repulsing wall' and 5:05 is actually 'Local Death'

[@j-yoshi64_justcallmej]

I'm a fan of all the error windows.

[@Caezzy]

I haven't even watched yet and I just want to thank you. Kirby Air Ride always has and always will be my favorite game of all time and seeing someone else cover it recently, especially you scrumpy, fills me with joy. Thanks dude :D

1 dislike? Someone must of accidentally hit it while watching. This video is too awesome to be disliked!!

[@bronzeshooter5297]

it's gone now lol

[@lamptrent]

It's because this was discovered by container12345 over on the KAR Workshop Discord, with no credit given. This is the *second* time this has happened.

[@UnknownFortune]

I like the video, but the dislikes are probably from - Only Melee, and don't like dice - Only Sunshine on dice, and don't like Air ride - Bots - people who don't like Scrumpy - people who think they're funny

[@lamptrent]

To whoever said that container12345 was credited in the description: that was after we mentioned it in the aforementioned KAR Workshop Discord and told Scrumpy about the issue in the comments.

[@smk7500]

lol the crashing messages are the best

[@perguto]

7:42 Btw the lower part of the screen is an update log. The updates are signed by two developers named Otsuguro and Yamashita. According to kirby.fandom.com/ja/wiki/%E4%B9%99%E9%BB%92%E8%AA%A0%E4%BA%8C Otsuguro worked on Kirby games for more almost two decades from Kirby's Adventure up until the 20th Anniversary Collection.

[@EldaAndChii]

Impressed with your Japanese research but honestly road mortality made me laugh a lot. It translates to "Local Death". good try though, loving your content!

[@nonstm4933]

So SIMPLE is too complicated to load?

[@hypenheimer]

LOL

[@engineerbot]

I know. It’s called simple but it’s hard to to load. Confusing. It should have been called complicated.

I came here for Kirby. I LOVE KIRBY!!!!!!!

[@plaic9549]

yeah, we can see

[@JaredThe]

I wish more games now-a-days had debug modes that could be accessed easily in-game. Something like the original 2-D Sonic games, which had debug modes you could easily access with secret codes that used controller inputs on the title screen and number combinations in the sound test. It allowed you to place enemies and other level elements in the level. I feel secret Debug Modes are a nice inclusion to any game for the fans to play around with.

[@genericname_]

I find it really interesting to see how the developers made their games and tested them out. It's also interesting to think that we were never really even supposed to be see these areas but of course we find our ways.

[@MrMariosonicman]

And this video right here made me subscribe to this channel. its going to be SO fun seeing so many unused stuff thats not only Melee.

[@Kan-wz6uo]

ローカル死亡 is "local death", "local" being the english word and "death" being both a noun and a suru verb (suru being a verb that means "do", like 死亡する). "Death zone", basically.

[@Extra_Mental]

Ive had this game for so long and never knew it had a debug menu or even cheats, this is awesome

[@wario1226]

now THIS is the content ive been waiting for. air ride is GOTY every year.

[@Mobius14]

Maybe the writing cooresponds to the functions in the assembly that are called: I mean, "ring_check" sounds like a function that is called to check if you're within a boost ring and apply your boost appropriately.

[@aliaspseudonym525]

This was pretty fascinating! Thanks for uploading!

[@mullet_muffins]

This game's intricacies are very interesting. On a separate note, I hope we get a remake one day.

[@JediJess1]

Dear lord! There are a couple of unused features here. We need to make a mod of the game to do so! I'm looking forward to seeing what we can find about Kirby. I'd love to learn all of it's intricacies. the days of Kirby 20xx are closing in.

[@ScrumpletGaming]

Awesome video! Never seen this channel before, but my interest has been piqued!

[@Chausies7]

Just for the record, @redfuzzydice, it says "Local death", not "road mortality". As in, it'll cause death locally in that area. Love your vids! Keep it up

[@nullanma5134]

Holy crap I need to play this game again

[@TruYami]

this is an amazing discovery! it shows so much more of what the beta stages of the game could have been like.

[@footsoldier5178]

The "road mortality" sign may mean "Dead end"

Reminds me how MKDS's unused tracks are weird in that they use an older version of loading textures.

[@sinom]

they don't "roughly translate to" superjump. it literally is the Japanese way to write the English word superjump (suupaajanpu)

[@GoIdheart]

It looks like those floating boost panels were unimplemented lightning shield panels.

[@ShankMods]

Hey how about credit the hard working members of the KAR workshop who are actually making all of this possible instead of talking about it like you discovered it.

[@hunterst.arnold6646]

"The characters on it roughly translate to 'Super Jump'". Actually スーパージャンプ actually is pronounced as "supa jyanpu" which is just Super Jump written using katakana characters, no actual Japanese words were used in that phrase. EDIT: the エリアライト also just says "eria raito" (which is how the Japnese would pronouce the English words "area light").

[@ABlob]

I wish you would've translated all of the Japanese words and not just some of them (at least, I don't think you translated all of it). Also, at 4:51, there's a warning sign that tells you to not hover upwards anymore which is unused in the final game since there is no such thing as a ceiling warning.
