This is a sub-page of Proto:Super Mario Sunshine/Interactive Multi-Game Demo Disc August 2002.

Please elaborate.
Having more detail is always a good thing.
Specifically: "Banner Maker"? "the gameplay screen"?

While the text is the same for the most part, there are some subtle changes and corrections that were made between the demo and the game's release.

Proto

Final

2002@Nintendo

2002 Nintendo

Although this is normally used for the gameplay screen, the player can't actually go to that screen since it sends them to the demo once it's selected, so this text goes unused. What's interesting about this is an "@" symbol between the copyright text and Nintendo. It is possible to see this when extracting the TGC file to be a bootable GameCube game on its own.

Bianco Hills Episode 1#

Proto

Final

You seemed like you were in such a hurry when I saw you last.

You seemed like you were in such a hurry last time I saw you.

Minor change in wording to sound less awkward.

Proto

Final

That's a nice little squirt-tank you got there, sonny!

Why don't you water the flowers a bit... They sure need it!

That's a nice little squirt-tank you got there, sonny!

Why don't you water the flowers a bit? They sure need it!

A change in punctuation to alter the tone of the message to be a request rather than an indirect command.

Proto

Final

You may be able to get through at the waterwheel up ahead.

You might be able to get through at the waterwheel up ahead

A minor word swap, but when the change was made, someone accidentally removed the period at the end of the sentence!

Proto

Final

You may have the others fooled, but I see right through you!

You might have fooled the others, but I see right through you!

Another may/might swap, as well as a bit of rewording to flow better.

Proto

Final

Never fear! Just get up there and bounce around. You'll be OK.

Never fear! Just get up there and bounce around. You'll be fine.

A minor change, as the word "OK" stands out too much.

Proto

Final

From here on, things are really dangerous! So no fooling around!

A minor word change, as well as some added punctuation.

Proto

Final

Hey, old guy. Who are you?

Hey, old-timer. Who are you?

Hey, old guy!

For the sign that points to Ricco Harbor and Pinna Park, there are two extra spaces in front of the arrows in the demo, which were removed for the final. This change is also present in Episode 2.

Proto

Final

An added comma.

A conjunction was added to make more sense.

Ricco Harbor Episode 1#

Proto

Final

Huh?! You think the arrows are pointing

that way on purpose? Ruh-ruh-really?

Huh?! You think the arrow is pointing

that way on purpose? Ruh-Ruh-Really?

The mention of arrows was changed to singular, making the Pianta who speaks this line only refer to the arrow sign he is standing next to. Also, capitalization in the last sentence was changed.

Gelato Beach Episode 2#

Proto

Final

I'll have you know that if you use the

Dune Buds wisely...

you can reach

heights you never would normally.

I'll have you know that if you use the

An ellipsis was added at the beginning of the second block to make it more clear that the sentence is continuing.

Proto

Final

Whew! Long plan!

Whew! What a plan!

The plan isn't really long, just the description of it is.

Gelato Beach Episode 3#

Proto

Final

N-n-now calm down there, m-m-mister caterpillar!

N-N-Now, calm down there, M-M-Mister Caterpillar!

Another capitalization change, in the same vein as the one in Ricco Harbor. "Mister Caterpillar" is also capitalized, since it is supposed to be used as a proper noun.

Proto

I think you get rid of that bug by stomping on it's belly.

I think you get rid of that bug by stomping on its belly.

The dreaded it's/its mix-up.
