Itoi Shigesato no Bass Tsuri No. 1 Ketteiban!

Itoi Shigesato no Bass Tsuri No. 1 Ketteiban! is an enhanced Nintendo 64 port of its Super Famicom counterpart, with the elusive feature of being able to walk on land and talk to animals.

The game was shown off at Spaceworld 1999 as a 50% complete game, slated for an April 2000 release. The game ended up releasing one day earlier on Friday, March 31 - a first for a Shigesato Itoi game.

Unused Objects#

This needs some investigation. Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page. Specifically: Check all object IDs and find which do not exist in any map placements. Explore raw geometry, as many models are likely not linked to an object ID.

Debug Cube#

Object ID 01C2 reveals a debug cube object. It's beautiful!

To view in-game (by replacing the clubhouse object in the main field), replace the values 01A9BF53 at 0x2274A0 with 01C20000.

Tree Cluster#

Object ID 016D contains an environmentally-friendly cluster of five trees. Tree objects in this title are typically placed individually on the map.

To view in-game (by replacing the clubhouse object in the main field), replace the values 01A9BF53 at 0x2274A0 with 016D0000.

Unused Textures#

Mysterious Skull#

A mysterious skull texture that resides in the binary for unknown reasons. Located at 0x274188.

Its aesthetic doesn't correspond to any objects, modes, UI elements, or atmosphere of the final game. In this title the majority of textures appear flat, whereas this has spherical depth and incongruent eyes.

There's a likelihood that this texture sourced from another HAL game in development, as multiple games were in development around the same time as Bass Fishing.

Upside-Down "Itoi 1101" Logo#

The "1101" logo often used to denote work from Itoi Shigesato is unused and curiously upside-down. Located at 0x654500.

For comparison, the right shows a colored version of this logo that could sometimes be seen in press releases.

Unused Sound Effects#

This page or section needs more audio. There's a whole lotta words here, but not enough audio. Please fix this. Specifically: Upload recordings of sound effects. There are likely more that are unused.

Voice - Bank01 Snd2D#

Bank 01 Sound 2D contains some type of voice. In the final release, resident critters do not audibly make sounds.

Voice - Bank01 Snd34#

Bank 01 Sound 34 contains some type of voice. In the final release, resident critters do not audibly make sounds.
