Yeah, but the twist is that it was found in the Mario Kart 64 directory.
I don't think it's a repurposed beta castle town, but a separate town track all together.
" We also made a big city track, with a castle, and a nice pond, where you got to race around all these different houses and buildings. Unfortunately, it was a very large map, and it took too much time to race through. So we cut it. "
from http://shmuplations.com/mariokart64/
Was this supposed to be the town in full 3d before they went with the pre-rendered, fixed-camera setup that is in the released game?
I don't know if I'd specifically call it a "Zelda" course, but they were trying to repurpose an asset originally designed for Zelda. There probably wouldn't have been anything designating it as being related to Zelda if it had made it into the final game.
Did something happen? Heard that the 3DS and Wii leaks happened while I was asleep, and the total is just 100GB out of 2TB?
It's not out of the question, just temper your expectations.

"There was a track that took place in a huge city with a pond and even a castle, where players raced around different kinds of houses and buildings. But Tadashi says the stage took too long to race through, so the city was scrapped. "
What's pointing to this being the original Castle Town and not a map specifically designed for Mario Kart?
Mario legit punching Yoshi in the head. What the fuck is your problem, Mario?
This is what I want to see more than anything. It would be wild after having nothing from the game for 20+ years except a trailer and some screenshots.
Just a big, quick thank you to everyone posting all these discoveries. This thread has been an absolute blast to follow.
Can't wait to see some more Beta Zelda stuff. Like others, I spent SO much time reading about that stuff as a kid.

I guess the buildings look reminiscent of that beta shot from OoT so people are assuming it was created for OoT and then just modified for MK before eventually being cut completely.
If anything the Zelda track seems to be the premises for the Mario kart 8 deluxe track. The fountain can maybe be the pond idea
If this thread doesn't enter the hall of fame, nothing else deserves to be considered that status.
Didn't realize 4chan were discussing about this incident that happened last year.

Did a vigilante ROM leaker go too far to “preserve” a lost Atari ROM?
Long hoarded by collectors, Akka Arrh prototype is now part of MAME.

This is beautiful!

Oh wow I would pay full-price to play a complete version of Super Mario Bros. 5 this looks amazing! :D
I wonder if it was to save cartridge space, since we know that was a huge issue in SM64.
No leaks of game cube games for now, maybe in the next months if they are following chronologically...
Seriously? It's available on NSO now. No need to pay full price.
Not gonna lie, it's been really interesting to see people dredge up all of these extremely old Zelda 64 enemy models and such. Never thought I'd get to see those old Octorocks in such clarity.
now if only, so people could finally shut up about it lol

It just clicked that at some point Elder Yoshi was most likely to be the one talking to the player through the various hint speaker blocks FROM Yoshi's House in SMW.

every bit of Zelda 64 mystery to rest assure
The cut dungeons from wind water would be interesting to see. We know they got repurposed in another game but Nintendo has never said which.
Mario 128 is a tech demo for GameCube. It was never a game. Nintendo showed it off along with other demos.
There was a mario 64 expansion for the DD but it never got far into development according to miyamoto.
Super Mario world is super Mario Bros 4.

Super Mario world 2 is Super Mario Bros 5, or was originally going to be subtitled as such based on these leaks.
So much new info, I can't stop looking.
Might as well make these days a holiday for people who are into this.

Been going through the manuals, and it's seemingly all fully compatible with the latest versions of Illustrator.
Which makes me wonder why Nintendo stopped with the original .pdf files on the WiiU N64 VC and ended up going with scans later on.
Just look at how crazy good this looks!

Man, more gorgeous work for that Link. I want a game with him in it.
I mean, did they? Most of Diamond and Pearl's music sounded awful so I can't say it's an improvement either way.
Still, it is nice to hear what an earlier version sounded like.
So there is a downside to all of this.
