Beta Barry Design:
Badges:
*squints* Is Barry wearing glasses?
Also lol those badge designs. Doesn't seem like any of them were set in stone except the third one (Fighting) and fourth one (looks like Grass which was moved to the second Gym in the final game).
That's not how this works.
Perhaps by the dictionary definition of the word, but modern usage generally means someone with access to the information shared it with people they weren't supposed to. That's not what happened here.
holy shit it's really good, i hope there's gonna be more soundtrack leaks!

Badges:
Apparently Barry's battle sprite is Wally in this version.
Right, the information was obtained from hacking into private servers in this case.
Could someone make 60fps versions of Star Fox 1 & 2, through an emulator or something now that they have the source code? Because hoo boy.
Someone should make a mod to replace OG Baby Bowser with the Beta
Why does the 4th badge look like Lip from the Panel De Pon series?Beta Barry Design:
Badges:
Someone animated Long Yoshi using the sprite sheet:
Well I'm not sleeping tonight
finally a yoshi for himSomeone animated Long Yoshi using the sprite sheet:
If it's placeholder art, it might be Lip, just done as a joke.
I think it's supposed to be a seed or sprout that resembles a girl's head, if it indeed was intended as a final design at one point. But I think it's more likely placeholder based on the other badges.
man that thing ain't rightSomeone animated Long Yoshi using the sprite sheet:
I'm pretty amazed Nintendo kept good care of their source code for their games for generations, especially hearing how Sega and SquareSoft would lose their source for their games.
How funny. Looks a lot like the Saurus from Quest for Glory 2:Someone animated Long Yoshi using the sprite sheet:
EARLY Mario Kart 64 SGI Tests Found in Leak
Oh shit! Both Kamek and Donkey Kong are in there; but doesn't that go against what we've previously assumed about the latter replacing the former during development?There is a early early early Mario Kart 64 build from a SGI Indy workstation in this leak.
Characters:
kame
kinopio
kong
kuppa
mario
peach
yossy
Wonder what the absence of Luigi and Wario means.
Yeah I misremembered. You replied before I could edit when I realized my mistake lol

And speaking of shows, have I got the saurus for you. The Saurus. That's where you look for synonyms. And speaking of sin, when it comes to sauruses, well, let's just keep your personal preferences a secret, shall we? (They don't call it Saurus Rex for nothing.)
I wonder if it's Donkey Kong Jr. Could have just taken the original Super Mario Kart cast and replaced Koopa Troopa with Kamek for this build.
There are emulators that already do that. But those games were not made to be played at 60fps since everything else gets desynchronized.
This is cool from a preservation standpoint... But I do wish companies would release this stuff on their own instead of having hackers dunno this stuff.
That said, this goes to show how serious Nintendo has been holding onto everything over the last 25+years and leaves me hopeful they'll eventually release more finished or near finished games like star fox 2.

Therapist: Prototype Yoshi isn't real, he can't hurt youSomeone animated Long Yoshi using the sprite sheet:
(Prototype Yoshi): ^^
Was it, though? There are slight and major variations to the tune.
Is one of these badges Lip?
People are saying it's Lip but honestly I think it's just a coincidence. Looks like a generic cherry/seed/plant/whatever.
OP
OP
Kame means turtle in Japanese so it could just be a Koopa they pulled from Super Mario Kart. Kamek probably came later before they were inevitably cut.
It says Kame not Kamek, maybe it was supposed to be a Koopa Troopa(Nokonoko) early on, and it just says "Kong" got to see if it was DK or Jr.
Yeah, in a perfect world, a lot of this stuff would've been public domain by now. I do hope Nintendo at least understands the joy this is bringing a lot of people right now.
Kudos to them for hanging on to all this code still though.
Hell you might be right. For some reason none of the emulators are playing sound for me, so maybe it has legit music?
I know; but wouldn't they likely use "nokonoko" if it was Koopa Troopa? Everyone else is at least using a part of their name (if not just their actual name).
Koopa Troopa being considered at some point would be new regardless, so it's not like i'm against the possibility. Going from DK/DK Jr. to Kamek and then back to DK during development would be pretty funny though.
That Minun sprite is cute as hellAll praise the cube!
Final version for comparison
