Super Mario 64 DS: Test Map

The unused Test Map on Super Mario 64 DS.
This level was used to test warps, objects, collision data, and much more.

[@OverallsYoshi]

If anybody is wondering what the "le searching for Power" is, it's actually text string 0195, which is when you put on Wario's cap as another character for the first time (I think). It cuts off the first three letters, as it does for the rest of the level names (the full word is "While"). They all either have a number with 1 or 2 spaces at start of their strings, or just 3 spaces. It also happens to be above Bob-omb Battlefield's level name string as well. The "ing file..." on the pause screen is text string 0295 (Saving file...). Like before, the first 3 letters are cut off.

[@Xgamesvidoes]

I remembered seeing this level back in the days on KZbin with some typical old school KZbin metal song in the background! XD Maaaan.... You don't wanna know how long I was looking for this level! I couldn't find it! XD Now, many many many years later.... I see this video and I almost forgot about it! Did I know back then that this was a test level! XD Nice video and thanks for the nostalgia!

[@sunchips18]

Yeeep. I remember seeing this as a kid and thinking that this was something that you could unlock by getting all the stars or something. I wanted to play in this level so badly. Haha Games felt so much more wondrous back then, viewed through the lenses of a child.

[@siyahseeker]

0:03 "le searching for Power" This is a mistake. It is mapped to the text that shows up whenever Yoshi grabs a Mario Cap for the first time: "While searching for the Power Stars, you found a red cap. Put it on and voila! You suddenly look just like Mario!" Since the developers weren't caring so much about the text in the TEST room, when they wrote the text for the game, the data for the name of the room changed to the text already in the game. In this case, text that happens only once.

[@nil8659]

The pause menu also goes the similar way. It said "ing file..."

it's probably sad that this test level is only available as yoshi

[@jag418]

It's not, though. Any level in the game is accessible with any character. (except Yoshi not being able to go into big boo's haunt, etc.) But even then you still can go in big boo's haunt as Yoshi with map select.

There unused objects that contain the Mario, Luigi, and Wario caps. It's possible that during development, the caps were gonna be in those blocks rather than lying on the ground or having a goomba wear them.

Labels, apparently. 2:09 雲 花 氷 水 土 木 岩 砂 草 無 translation: cloud, flower, ice, water, soil, tree, rock, sand, grass, none. It's Japanese, though a Chinese speaker would likely still be able to understand it.

[@7thdayfallout]

They are Japanese, they say what kind of tile is under them. 砂 is sand, you'll notice those tiles have sandy behavior. Inside of pool says 水 meaning water. The second area I assume is for testing mario's footstep sounds on different kinds of terrain. 雪 = snow 木 = tree(wood) etc. You can infer the meanings from the sound & color anyway. The purple 無 means 'nothing' as in no special terrain, I guess.
