Unused Modes#

Show Time Edit#

Show Time Edit is a hidden icon between the microphone and Show Time.
You need the following GameShark codes to access it:
D130E5AA 0008
8130E5AA FFFF

This mode allows you to edit the background, camera, lighting and graffiti (not working) of animations from Show Time. These are saved into the root directory of the save area.
You can set and delete points for each and will automatically manage linear transitions between each set points.

Choose a Pose#

Choose a Pose seems to be an unfinished mode where you can select a pose.
You need the following GameShark codes to access it:
D130E5B2 0009
8130E5B2 FFFF

You can select between Basic Pose, Edit 1, Edit 2, Edit 3 and Edit 4, and move the camera around. That's about it.

Uninitialized Auto-Save Area#

In dumps from previously sealed and unused disks of the game, the RAM area (Save area) contains a generic file system designed by Nintendo called MFS (MultiFileSystem). You can dedicate parts of the RAM area to be ignored by MFS, which is called "Auto-Save Area" in Mario Artist titles; it is used for content like Albums, Studio defaults, and more. When uninitialized, it contains around six RAM dumps, involving a disk writing tool specifically made by the developers.

Internal Tool Framebuffer#

This graphic is found at 0x19A1838, 0x19F52F8, 0x1AC85B8. mwrite is the Disk ID definition file. Seems to be a screenshot log of a tool, that lists System Area and User Area.

Hidden Movie#

To do:
This translation seems pretty rough, can someone who is fluent improve it?

There is a hidden easter egg movie, starring the late Hiroshi Yamauchi (then-president of Nintendo Co., Ltd.), speaking about the game and the 64DD peripheral, in Japanese. The movie file is hidden under the user directory, in the bottom-most selectable slot and can be loaded and viewed in the Movie Creation tool.

The English translation of the dialogue is as follows:

Nintendo Head Office (Kyoto)

Director: "It is going on the air."

(take1)

President: "Eh, this time, for buying Nintendo 64 DD software, Talent Studio, thank you very..."

Woman: "President, it is not for sale, and it is delivered to all members."

President: "Eh? Is it like that...all right, I got it."

(take2)

President: "Eh, we deliver Talent Studio to everyone here, and this software is Nintendo's confident work you can experience quite new play that is not in existing software. Please play with family and friends together and enjoy noisily by making unique talents, thank you very much."

Director: "Yes, OK."

President: "Is it OK?"

Director: "Yes, thank you very much."

President: "What kind of software is this? What kind of software?"
