Gaming Mysteries: Super Mario 64 Beta Redux (N64)

[@Yuriofwind]

I hope you guys enjoy the new Gaming Mysteries! ^_^. I've wanted to go back and fix this topic for a while now, so, I did o_o. Also hope everyone has a nice New Years as a side note. It's almost the next year, you guys o-o.

[@McCauley824]

Awesome video Yuri. Love your sense of humor.

[@3030sonic]

I actually really enjoy super long videos like this. I really liked this, keep up the good work Yuri!

[@moon2l]

Happy new year YuriofWind your the coolest-est of them all ;P !

[@The_Crooked_Step]

I love you

[@lil_bryn]

Happy New Year to you too dude! Keep that hair beautiful and thanks for the awesome vids this year ;3

[@Yuriofwind]

Alright guys! I, slept all day! So Happy New Years! :D. We did it! :D(Or I did, I don't think you were there :3). And may the next year be full of sleep. Have a wonderful evening, everybody :3.

I love watching you crawl around in this game

maybe the flower in lethal lava land was a fire flower??

[@jftuxxy864]

+Yuriofwind It was not going to start out on the SNES.

"Dear Mario: Please come to my castle. I have set a trap for you. Up Yours, truly King Bowser Koopa." Mario: "Seems legit. Hey Luigi, wanna join me for some cake at Peach's?" Luigi: "Nah, I think I'll just spend some alone time. Wouldn't want to cramp your style... douche."

[@NeoShot]

Believe it or not, I played this beta version at a Sears before the game was out. I remember the "night" hub room so accurately. I only got to explore the court yard and hub room. Before I saw beta footage of this game 18+years later, the visuals of the beta were always stuck in my head when I was younger. After the Sears trip, I thought it was all a dream when I looked back on it, but it really was true.

[@Confuzledish]

One of m friends turned me onto your channel, this was my first video. It was AWESOME! I was riveted the entire time and learned a lot about one of my favorite games. Really well done, and I love your sense of humor.

[@CarBitGTSaxen]

I wish the beta rom of SM64 will be available one day

[@hyperzombieRS]

2 words: SM64 Multiplayer

[@Callumbuddy]

+CarBitGTSaxen I don't think that it will happen. Generally, beta carts for N64 games were used to hold temporary data so they could be used over and over again. They would delete the data on the cartridge and put data for another game on there so it's extraordinarily unlikely that it even exists anymore.

[@Callumbuddy]

***** They don't have grey shoes instead of green and they have red horns instead of yellow.

[@thogameskanaal]

@@Callumbuddy that's true. Though, just because something isn't available on a cartridge, doesn't mean it's lost. Nintendo keeps a lot of their assets, including prototype ROMs, on their servers and archives them. After the big leaks, which include Pokemon beta's people thought were forever lost, some people believe SM64 betas are out there as well, but they haven't been (publicly) leaked yet.

[@cgnfake6721]

@@thogameskanaal about that... It was found. at last. the spaceworld build was found... security is currently being bypassed on the actual spaceworld build but maps have been imported and put into mario 64. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jWmvhpWAptOqprc kzbin.info/www/bejne/jV6TnWyHq9d3p5I

[@OptiumusMagnum]

Believe it or not, the version of this game that I played first and prefer is Super Mario 64 DS. I remember the faithful summer when my sister had left her girly-looking pink DS Lite behind after she took off to summer camp, and out of boredom I decided to play. In the seclusion of my room (because there was no way I'd risk my dignity by being caught seeing a pink DS) I popped in the only game she had at the time...Super Mario 64 DS. The levels, the music, the fatally mind-blowing worlds should've been enough to cement my love for the game, but then I found out I could play as other characters...with other abilities. And then my parents found me lying on my room floor in a fit of cardiac arrest, clutching a pink DS. Ah...summer days...

[@OptiumusMagnum]

It's very playable on the 3DS though, with it's circle pad.

[@OptiumusMagnum]

Well, considering it was the first version of the game I played and I didn't find the controls to break the game.

[@Antonio-is2cn]

1:41 "Except for Wet-Dry World Fuck that place! is like they didn't finish it, it bothers the hell out of me..." "The negative emotional aura" is strong here!

[@infernothearcanine231]

I can't tell you how long I searched every inch of this game even after I beat it for secrets. I'm not sure why but I was determined to find everything Nintendo had hidden. I tried climbing that waterfall by the castle to "unlock a secret world" like my friends said it would do XD awesome vids btw!

[@ToruKun1]

"The first time I laid eyes on Super Mario 64 was at a Walmart, so as you can imagine it was a pretty depressing experience for me." LMAO! My first time seeing it was at a Fred Myer's, even got to play a demo too.

[@Lis4Real25]

This was a fantastic video. Love hearing more about the beta of my favorite game. I actually never knew about the yellow switch thing. Although I doubt the yellow block would have gave you an invincibility power-up since the Metal Cap already more or less does that. I think it would have just made it possible to get the other stars and extras in levels that hid them in the yellow blocks.

[@AprilsMoon92]

Super Mario 64 is still my favorite Mario game, I wish they'd make a sequel to it some day or at least a nice 3D Mario like it that's non-linear instead of the 2D Mario games Nintendo seems to be obsessed with making (they may be good but I loved the style of Super Mario 64 so much more).

[@jennisawsum1213]

Yuri! Thanks for making 2013 a great year! I always look forward to your videos and can't wait for what's in store next year. You are amazing! Thanks for taking the time to give your fans smiles ~_~ Happy New Year!

[@NintendoFighter9000]

yuriofwind really needs more subscribers!

[@BitterMillenial]

I remember when I first Super Mario 64 my mind was blown. Seeing a game going from 2D to 3D was just amazing at the time.

[@thepsynergist]

I think the yellow switch might have been more of a Super Mario World reference, where if you hit the block, other yellow blocks appear for use as platforms. Just a theory.

[@TheWaezel]

One of the better videos you have done in a while! I like the dropping of end-slate, always sort of felt tacked on.

[@thatguyontheright1]

The keys were probably used in the first mission of Big Boo's haunt. Hunt the ghosts to get the keys, use the keys to raise the stairs, and get the star.

[@Starwars4J]

No, thank YOU for the awesome content! Please keep this going strong next year, I always enjoy them!

[@SebastianTheGreat]

4:00 "We also learned that the reason that the Super Nintendo didn't see a 3D mario game was... because the n64 controller has more buttons. And yes, yes it does."

+SebastianTheGreat Congratulations sir, you have earned a millionty dollars/

[@shawnfields2757]

Mario was the first video game character I was also properly introduced to as well, Andrew. Nice to know and look back on such nostalgia with good memories. Also, your other video on Super Mario 64 wasn't crappy. It was short, but cool. Just like you always have been. Stay cool Yuriofwind. Have a nice day/night.

Hello Yriofwind. Can I have the honor of being your pet? I like bread leftovers, can fetch and I like to get cuddled on my wings.

You have been greatly missed Sir Yuriofwind, can't wait for what 2014 has in store!

[@DijaVlogsGames]

Looks like it's true that they took their scrapped ideas for Mario 64 and turned it into Mario 3D Land/World. Linear levels, isometric camera, multiplayer.

[@NinjaRed5000]

Hey great vid, Yuri. Also, congrats on getting mentioned by DYKGaming. Hopefully they'll get you to host a video!

[@BuThUb]

My first guess for the Yellow Switch's function is that it activates the Yellow Blocks already in the game. The blocks that give out coins. Either the development team realized the game works better without the Yellow Blocks being tied to a switch, or they used it as a development tool to activate and deactivate the Yellow Blocks at will.

[@BeeJayRaps]

"Take note this man is not in the final game." Haha. Are you sure? I could've swore I've seen him in the game somewehere.

[@TheDJBrett12]

Great job there. Your Gaming Mysteries videos are very interesting to watch. Keep it up.

[@NowOnAFM]

Very informative video. I'm wondering if any stuff from Mario 64's beta made it into Mario 64 DS in terms of courses and concepts.

[@babysinclairfan]

What a great game. Speaking of nostalgia, I never really experienced that feeling I got playing this in any other game. Even Ocarina of time was matched by skyward sword (for me at least) but i never saw anything like mario 64 again

[@SuperJustinChannel]

Fun fact: The beta Stars are still in the final game, on the Title screen colored red and silver respectively.

[@mouseworks]

Great video! I must admit, I saw your original mario one and found it a bit lacking, but after seeing a few others and noticing your shout out from DYK, I'm convinced to subscribe. One thing that might have been worth mentioning is the way the paintings are actually sectioned off, this was clearly a scrapped idea to have different sections of the paintings take you to different places.

[@Borednesss]

I first saw SM64 in a Toys R' Us... got to pick a free game to come with the N64 when it was released, I had SM64 in one hand and Pilotwings in the other... I chose Pilotwings, which was fun but when I later got Mario it was the BEST! Until Banjo Kazooie, then that was the best.

[@RealClassixX]

I completely remember the first time playing this game, which was also my first time playing a 3D game. It was goddamn magical. It was a moment n tme, that will never happen again.

[@BlueNinjakoopa553]

Coins in the beta had "I"s on them, resembling coins from most other Mario games. In fact, Super Mario 64, its remake, and Mario Pinball land are a few of the only games to feature coins with stars on them instead of "I"s.

[@sonicpacker]

I enjoy this game.

Don't worry, Yuri... 2014 will be good for the WiiU. There's a SSB game in 2014, as well as several other major franchise titles. Nintendo will be printing their own money.

[@terretsforever]

[@kalebcollins1778]

How many times do you get asked if you're dead?

[@lokanientertainment6594]

Dude, your videos are awesome!! Seriously, Game Sack and your channel--most honest, genuine and enjoyable...

[@clintosfan]

What if the yellow switch was for the fire power, I always wondered why they never had the fire power in Mario 64 when it is included with every game other than this one

[@EmilyCorradino]

Clintos It is unlikely that the yellow switch is for a fire power up. The reason the classic fire power up was omitted was the fact that it was difficult to control in 3D. Given that yellow blocks can be found in the final game, I would assume that at one point they were meant to be transparent (like the ones found in Super Mario World). I assume that once they ditched this idea, rather than re-coding the blocks, they just set the switch to be permanently in the down position.

[@Sentarry]

Best video to end the year! Awesome video man. Ive been watching your videos for a very long time. I think about a couple years now. Keep up the good work. Did very well on this vid. Watched all the way through c:

[@lkjkhfggd]

Aren't you invincible while metal and invisible? I'm pretty sure yes. Soooo invincible hat = redundant?

[@ectothermic]

I think the idea behind it was staying neutral while invincible. For example, Metal Mario can still take shock damage and Invisible Mario can take fire damage if I'm correct. An Invincible cap would make you shiny and stuff and allow you to run around as normal Mario without the slowness of Metal Mario or the ability to go through things as Invisible Mario. At least that's my theory.

[@ectothermic]

Alternatively maybe in the Beta the other caps didn't make you invincible and instead a special item would.

[@EnigmaHood]

Isometric 3D Mario platformer.... Looks like that came to pass eventually! Great video dude.

[@advokatie]

You sound like Mandark...

[@PrincessErica1981]

Dandog Because he IS Mandark!

[@DataDrain02]

You didn't sound lame when you said Mario 64 was magical. When I was a kid. I felt the same way. It just felt so... Expansive. Like I could find secrets at every turn. It was a game that sparked my imagination. Anyway. Nostalgia aside. Interesting video. There was quite a bit here I didn't know about. ...Also. I'm SO glad Charles voiced Mario in the end. That beta voice was terrifying.

[@Skretts]

4:15 The analog stick is a button? XD

[@ZeldagigafanMatthew]

Technically, the button count is infitisimal, because of the analog stick.

[@KizulEmeraldfire]

I'M more mystified as to why the four-directional D-pad counts as only one button, when it clearly ought to count as four. ò.O
