Unused Animations#

To do: Add IDs, and confirm which ones are used for comparison

Non-specific walking, running, and jumping animations can be found for Peach alongside the rest of her animations used in the game's intro and ending scenes, located in the game's data/enemy/peach folder. Notably, the enemy folder is where the graphics and animations for all of the game's non-playable characters are located.

Peach's intro and ending cutscene animations are prefixed with op and ed respectively:

peach_ed_enter_wait.bca
peach_ed_kiss.bca
peach_ed_landing.bca
peach_ed_look_about.bca
peach_ed_lookup.bca
peach_ed_lookup_to_wait.bca
peach_ed_notice_mario.bca
peach_ed_notice_yoshi.bca
peach_ed_step_up.bca
peach_ed_turn.bca
peach_ed_wait.bca
peach_ed_walk.bca
peach_ed_wave.bca
peach_op_wait.bca

Whereas these animations don't feature any prefixes indicating their use in intro and outro cutscenes:

peach_jump_end.bca
peach_jump_loop.bca
peach_jump.bca
peach_run.bca
peach_wait.bca
peach_walk.bca

Map Select#

Das Spiel enthält einen Kursauswahlbildschirm, der mit den unten stehenden Action Replay-Codes wieder aktiviert werden kann. Er erscheint beim Laden einer Speicherdatei und ermöglicht den Zugriff auf jede Karte im Spiel, einschließlich der Testebenen. Das Build Date des ROMs wird am oberen Rand des Bildschirms angezeigt.

Um die Kursauswahl zu verwenden, geben Sie den Action Replay Code 2202???? 00000002 ein, wobei "????" der Wert ist, der Ihrer Version entspricht.

Build Date#

Im ROM befindet sich eine Textdatei mit dem Namen BUILDTIME, die die folgenden Erstellungsdaten enthält:

Crash Debugger#

Dieses Spiel verfügt über einen Crash-Debugger, der ähnlich wie der in Ocarina of Time ausgelöst wird. Dieser ist etwas weniger technisch und informativer, aber viel weniger ausführlich.

Um auf den Crash-Dump-Bildschirm zuzugreifen, beenden Sie das Spiel (z. B. durch Auswerfen der Spielkarte). Danach:

1. Halten Sie L + R + A + Links, dann loslassen.
2. Halten Sie Unten + B, dann loslassen.
3. Halten Sie Start + Select.

Dieser Bildschirm existiert auch in Animal Crossing: Wild World und New Super Mario Bros. Es wurde von den Entwicklern zum Debuggen von Abstürzen und anderen Fehlern im Spiel verwendet, da es dabei hilft, genau zu bestimmen, wo im Code ein Problem aufgetreten ist.

Hier ist eine Erklärung zu einigen der Informationen:

• Die Textdatei BUILDTIME wird oben auf dem Bildschirm angezeigt.
• **StageNo** - Interner Name der Bühne.
• **PlayerID** - Der Charakter, der zum Zeitpunkt des Absturzes verwendet wurde.
• **LayerNo** - Unbekannt.
• **RoomNo** - Unbekannt.
• **LoopProc** - Gibt an, welcher Teil der Hauptschleife zum Zeitpunkt des Absturzes ausgeführt wurde; entspricht einer spezifischen virtuellen Funktion des problematischen Akteurs.
• **ProfName** - Identifiziert, welcher Akteurstyp das Problem verursacht hat. Die erste Zahl ist die Typ-ID (im obigen Screenshot ist es 3, was STAGE entspricht). Die zweite Zahl ist unbekannt.
• **file-id** - Unbekannt, möglicherweise die letzte Datei-ID, die aus dem Dateisystem der ROM gelesen wurde.

Unbenutzte Areale#

Test Kurse#

Es gibt zwei Testlevel im Spiel. Entweder gibst du die auf der Notizenseite aufgeführten Action Replay-Codes ein und hältst beim Laden einer gespeicherten Datei die Taste Select gedrückt, oder du verwendest die Kursauswahl. Die Level haben keine richtigen Sternenauswahlbildschirme, daher wird nur Text aus anderen Teilen des Spiels angezeigt. Die Namen der ungenutzten Kurse stammen jeweils aus dem Crash-Debugger/Kursauswahl und den Modell-/Verzeichnisnamen.

Testkurs (test_map)#

To do: Erweitern der verschiedenen Funktionen der Objekte/des Terrains in den Levels, einschließlich Informationen darüber, welche Objekte während welcher Missionen erscheinen.

Hier gibt es viel zu sehen. Ganze Terraine und normale Test-Level-Eigenschafften lassen sich hier finden.

Die Schachbrett Texturen von Super Mario Sunshine's Debug Raum machen hier ihre dritte Erscheinung. Sie müssen wirklich sehr weit herum gekommen sein.

In der oberen rechten Ecke der Karte befinden sich einige Kacheln mit japanischen Schriftzeichen. Jeder zeigt beim Betreten das Verhalten des entsprechenden Bodentyps:

• Obere Reihe - 雪 (Schnee), 花 (Blume), 氷 (Eis)
• Mittlere Reihe 水 (Wasser), 土 (Erde), 木 (Holz)
• Untere Reihe - 岩 (Stein), 砂 (Sand), 草 (Gras), 無 (Nichts)

On the left, the three tracks with arrow marks demonstrate conveyors: flowing water, flowing quicksand (as in Pyramid Puzzle), and a more ordinary type.

Between these and the three pushable boxes below, two invisible poles exist (shown in blue in the above rendering).

Of the four brick walls in the gray checkerboard area roughly in the middle, two of them are only solid at the grey short faces.

The inverted staircase at the bottom of the level can be hung to, and the bottom-most step can awkwardly be walked into. Just above is a row of red item blocks, where the closest three contain a Flower but the 1st and 3rd have a bomb/wing respectively if opened by Mario, the next one a Mushroom, then afterwards a Shell, and finally two non-respawning ones with respectively an 1-Up and some coins; notably, the Mushroom one is otherwise unused (as are the nearby cap blocks) while the other latter effects are used in orange "!" item blocks instead.

The numbered corners are demonstrations of paired warps (1-2 and 3-4).

Dieser Level besteht größtenteils aus einer flachen Schachbrettebene mit einem Haufen herumtrudelnder Tox-Boxen. Diese Karte wurde verwendet, um sie zu testen, da der Name "Onimasu" (オニマス) der japanische Name für Tox Box ist.

In der oberen linken Ecke des Kurses befindet sich außerdem ein Symbol für die Stachelkugeln aus dem Kampf gegen Bowser.

Original Peach's Schloss Raum#

In the original game, the room containing The Princess' Secret Slide is a small hexagonal room with a sign and three stained-glass windows of Peach. The DS remake replaced this with a much larger room in a separate map with the sign, two stained-glass windows - with the one on the right warping to the slide, doors that allow you to swap characters, and a door going to Peach's Rec Room.

Despite this, the original room is still a part of the castle model, complete with the sign and Secret Slide warp, though most of the textures are incorrect and it doesn't have any collision. The sign has the same settings as the final room.

By removing the warp behind the door in the foyer that goes to the map containing the new room, setting the door so it goes to area 6 (the area the original room is in), and adding collision data, the player can enter it.

In the early room, the setting of the exit that defines the entrance the player returns to after losing a life or getting a star is set to entrance 0x00 - standing on the center of the main castle floor, which is also used when the player exits a level via the pause menu. In the final room, the exit is set to entrance 0x0 - falling down to the center of the main castle floor, which is also used for when you lose a life or get a star in the "? Switch" level. The warp is also smaller in the early room, to fit the smaller window.

Unused Actors#

To do: There are four unused Tick Tock Clock mechanical objects. Document them and check if they exist in the original game. (source: Fiachra)

Cap Blocks (0x0021 to 0x0023)#

The game contains three M/L/W blocks that give the corresponding character's cap when hit. These objects work perfectly but are unused in the final game. However, they can be found in the Test Map. They won't release anything unless the character is already unlocked, or the cap object exists in the level via object 254.

Multiplayer Stairs and Barrier (0x0128 & 0x0129)#

The multiplayer Peach's Castle features direct reproductions of the stair and barrier objects as part of the level model, so the separate objects are unused.

There is an Action Replay code for the USA version here (will appear near you): Multiplayer Stairs: 021130ec 00000128 Multiplayer Barrier: 021130ec 00000129

This Koopa shows different behavior than the standard green version. It runs into the player rather than fleeing from them, though it doesn't hurt the player. When knocked out of its shell, it will chase after it. When defeated while shell-less, it gives a blue coin, just like green Koopas.

The shell obtained from knocking a Red Koopa cannot be ridden or picked up. The player can kick it to launch it in one direction; it then continues following a straight line, knocking out enemies in its path, until it crashes into a wall and disappears in a puff of smoke. If Yoshi eats a red shell, he can spit fire, as he could in Super Mario World.

Red Koopa Troopas can be added to a level by changing a Koopa's Parameter1 to 0x0001. They can also be seen with the following Action Replay codes.

Unused Actor Parameters#

• Tox Boxes are able to follow regular paths, and that's what they do in the second test map (Onimasu Test Map). However, in Shifting Sand Land, the only used level where they appear, this ability isn't used; they follow hardcoded paths instead.

• If the Power Flower object has Parameter1 set to 1, it acts like the Wing. At some point in development, the Wing Cap may have been obtained from a Power Flower instead of causing Mario to float.

Unused Actor Behaviors#

• Some enemies have a behavior for touching the character when they are huge, even if you cannot become huge in that level. Sometimes it is just how they react to metal characters, but sometimes they have unique behavior for the powerup (mostly just being destroyed).

• Princess Peach, as she appears in the ending, has a behavior for being talked to; you can do this by placing Peach in a map with a level editor and going up to her and pressing A or B. When talked to she goes into her default pose of standing completely still and upright, which looks quite awkward, and says the same lines Bowser says at the start of the final boss battle. This does not necessarily mean that you could have talked to Peach at some point in development; the behavior could just have been put there for some technical reason.

Debug Fly Player State#

There's an unused player state that lets the player fly around, likely used for debugging purposes.

• You can move horizontally with the D-pad, to move vertically you can use B and A to go up and down respectively.
  • The player can move up slopes without manually moving vertically.
• The state can be exited by pressing X.
  • Entering water will also make you stop flying, unless the state was activated while swimming.
• The player cannot get hurt in this state, but can still interact with certain objects like coins and hearts.
• The previous animation keeps playing while in this state, either freezing the animation when it's finished, or looping it, depending on the current animation flags.

Here's an Action Replay code (for the European version) that lets you enter this state by pressing L + R:

520E4D28 E24DD018
020E4D28 EAFC6CB4
E2000000 0000004C
E24DD018 E1A04000

1A03933D E1A01005
EB038C18 E1A00004
EA039339 0211025C
020A0E58 00000000
D2000000 00000000

Unused Entrances#

To do: rewrite this, adding images and listing which stages do/don't have the unused entrances

Most levels have four entrances grouped around their starting point, out of which only one entrance is used for single-player levels, leaving the other three unused. The exceptions are the character painting levels and the Play Room, which suggests that they were created late in development.

Frühe Aufnahmen sahen mehrere Spieler in Bob-Omb Battlefield.

The presence of the unused entrances indicates that the full 4-player mode was scrapped after most of the levels were already made, which is actually not that early in the game's development cycle. Since Super Mario 64 DS was one of the console's launch titles, it is quite probable that the cooperative mode was scrapped due to lack of time to finish it. Or simply due to technical constraints; note that Super Mario 64 DS is one of the rare games that includes Download Play but not multi-card play.

In the final game, it was replaced by a competitive game limited to scaled-down versions of four small courses.

It's worth noting that a full-game multiplayer mode was, according to some interviews, planned for the original Nintendo 64 game (and its canceled 64DD expansion), using the split-screen variation. It appears that they originally intended to revive the concept in this remake.

Unused Graphics#

Goomba Low-Model#

An unused low-polygon model for a Goomba. The game originally switched out the normal model with this one at a certain distance from the camera, but the low draw distance for objects eventually rendered this useless. This functionality was still intact in the E3 demo, which can be observed at this timestamp, before the Goombas activate. Although coins still do use a low-model when viewed from a distance, this may be because there are often many on-screen at once.

Unused Star Select Screen#

An unused, rather simple Bowser-themed variant for the star select screen. Used in the unused map select.

Battle Fort Painting#

Its filename (for_vs_cross.bmd) implies that it was made for the Battle Fort level. It goes unused since the only entrances to the Battle Fort are a hole in the Courtyard and through VS Mode (which uses a generic sky painting). The painting object can be set to display this graphic.

It appears to depict an early design of the course, most notably the sides are multicolored and there are no squares on each edge.

5 Sterne Tür#

Powerup Item#

The name for the Power Flower actor is obj_powerup_item, so it is likely that this was a placeholder graphic for the Power Flower.

Cyan Rabbit#

The model file for the catchable rabbits in the game, found in data/enemy/mip/mip.bmd, contains a set of palettes that the model's texture uses for each of rabbits' colors, each given an ID for use by the game: 0 for Yoshi's yellow rabbits, 1 for Mario's pink rabbits, 2 for Luigi's green rabbits, and 3 for Wario's orange rabbits, with the white rabbits that appear after collecting 40 stars having an ID of 5. An additional palette and palette ID can be found between the orange and white rabbits, sporting a cyan color and having an ID of 4.

Coincentration Graphics#

The sprite set from the minigame Coincentration contains some Mario and Luigi sprites from Super Mario Advance 4 which obviously aren't used in the final game. There's also an unused "defeated" Wario frame, which presumably would have been used before he falls on his back.

Early Wanted! Graphics#

Early	Final

The files where the character's icons that appear in the Wanted! minigame include unused early designs for all four characters. The file with the tiles is found in root/MG/d_2d_mg_luigi_ncg.bin. The palette is found in root/MG/d_2d_mg_luigi_ncl.bin, where Palette 0 to 3 are used for the Early Yoshi, Mario, Luigi and Wario tiles respectively while palette 4 to 7 are used for the final Mario, Luigi, Wario and Yoshi tiles respectively. These two files also appear in New Super Mario Bros.

Mario and Luigi's head sprites are reminiscent of the unused Peace sign sprites in Super Mario Advance 4.

Hidden Graphics#

To do: Is this an oddity, or do they need to be this shape to achieve the shimmering effect?

The left and right edges of the shape used for the shimmering water of the file select screen are spiky, but the edges are always offscreen so they can't be seen.

Regional Differences#

International	Japan	Korea	China

The Japanese logo features metal around the text and a more emphasized "DS" with a black outline around the letters. The Korean logo has slightly darker colors. The logo used in international versions is closer to the original design of the Super Mario 64 logo, with wood around the letters and gold around the "64". The "DS" is also less emphasized. Strangely, the word "Super" is all cyan rather than multicolored. The background gradient was also changed to match this cyan, whereas the Japanese version uses a deeper blue that matches the bottom screen colors. The Chinese version breaks tradition by rendering the majority of the title in Chinese, rather than using a subtitle. The Korean version lacks a Rec Room, as seen in the image above. Strangely enough, while the Korean logo is based on the Japanese logo, the background on the bottom screen is the same as the international version.

European Text Changes#

For unknown reasons, the apostrophe character used in a few - but not most - of the English text strings in the European version was altered. In fact, the alterations were very inconsistent, as seen with the different apostrophes that were changed in the Big Bob-omb's introductions to Luigi and Wario, despite his first line being otherwise exactly the same. An extraneous space in one of Toad's lines was also removed, but none of the other extraneous spaces anywhere else in the game were!

Strangely again, none of the European text changes from the original game made their way to the European version of the remake where applicable, except for Wiggler's "I give" being changed to "I give up", which was applied to the American version as well.

Korean Version#

To do: Look into exact ROM data changes.

• In Korea, there are very strict anti-gambling laws that assign any game with some form of interactive gambling content an "Adults Only" rating. To avoid this, the Rec Room menu and all of its associated mini-games were removed in the Korean version of Super Mario 64 DS. This also means that the bunnies that unlock mini-games and the Toad inside the Rec Room are missing. However, the shining bunnies that unlock the white door in the castle still appear.
• The Korean version lacks a backlight setting, as the only Nintendo DS model that would benefit from it was not released there.
• A unique Exclamation Point Block object appears on top of the castle, awarding unlimited extra lives when hit from below and acting like a normal solid object when hit from above or from the side. The Question Mark Block on the castle was moved to make room for it.
• A message is displayed on the boot screen if save memory is not detected.

Revisionale Unterschiede#

To do: Es gibt mehr. Dies ist nur der Start.Quelle Fügen Sie Glitches hinzu, die exklusiv für die USA Revision 1 gelten.

US Revision 1#

The following bugs/mistakes were fixed in this version:

• There are various bugs related to Yoshi's eating ability. Generally, if Yoshi or an object changes state while he's eating (e.g. a Power Flower disappears, or Yoshi takes damage), the game can glitch in various ways or freeze entirely.
  • In Tall Tall Mountain, when Yoshi licks and eats a character transformation hat while Ukiki is jumping in the air, the game will freeze just before Yoshi finishes his transformation process.
• If the player collects or eats a transformation hat and their animation state changes (e.g. by collecting a Power Flower or grabbing hold of a ledge), then the transformation hat will remain stuck to the character's feet until another hat is collected or the player leaves the course.
• In Shifting Sand Land, if the player is wearing a transformation hat and lets Klepto bump into them while they are standing still and holding an item, the game will freeze.
• In Bob-omb Battlefield and Tiny-Huge Island, the Koopa Troopa and small Koopa Troopa (respectively) lack the ability to climb some steep surfaces, and will just walk in place.
• In Whomp's Fortress, if you grab the Super Mushroom, warp to the top of the fortress, make your way to the wooden plank and run up to the side of it, you'll get a constant stream of extra lives.
• In Dire Dire Docks, when the submarine is present, you can jump under one of the back fins and immediately ground pound to be pushed through the water surface, allowing you to walk underwater.

Europe#

The European version inadvertently presents some new bugs.

• In Star 5 of Snowman's Land, "Snowman's Silver Stars", entering and exiting the igloo after collecting all five Silver Stars will cause them to respawn. Collecting one will cause everything but Mario to freeze (or cause the game to freeze if you're riding on a Koopa shell).
• A glitch was introduced that allows you to carry Stars by jumping on a Goomba and eating a Star as Yoshi. They have basic physics when spat out, sliding along the ground.
• One form of the Yoshi tongue glitch is possible in Jolly Roger Bay by licking up a cap and getting squashed by a pillar before the cap goes into Yoshi's mouth.

Korea#

The Korean version fixes the game freeze part of the Silver Star glitch, but the rest of the glitch still occurs.
