Gaming Mysteries: Super Mario Kart R Beta (N64)

[RunesDoesSteam]

Marbolo? Cigarettes Advertised In A Mario Kart Game?

[colonydude13]

poop.

[winclk5126]

can you list all of the mario karts

[02vinicio]

awosome game

[angelguardian95]

sorry i played mario card r and is the name of mario card in japanis sorry is not a beta, i whys i stil have that game on my collection

[SuperNickid]

You forgot one change the feather was available as an Item in Super Mario Kart R, but was remove in Mario Kart 64.

[staticlord1]

i love your vids yuri they are what got me even more interested in unreleased games and game betas

[jacob3178259]

i think ik why it was magikoopa at first because donkey kong has his own series of games and everyone else are mario characters same thing could be said about mario party too i guess

[MrMariobrosrocks]

Damn I really want Magikoopa to be in Mario Kart 8!

[GIANTPANCAKES]

all 1 of his fan auahaha ah ah ah...

[12345flatout242]

grade mugel bugel

[regularshowfanboii]

add some more eps dude

great channel

[rkfan100]

You didnt cover the reason for the name change: the Sega Saturn game, Sonic R. Copyright issues.

[Chromotrigger]

I actually like the betas' artwork better. They look like puppets made of playdough :)

[allav866]

If you look at every Mario Kart game released on a Nintendo system so far (except for Super Circuit), you'll find at least one unique character:

SMK: DK Jr.

MK 64: Bob-omb (You can only play as him in 64. It counts)

MKDD: Paratroopa and Petey Piranha

MKDS: R.O.B.

MKWii: Baby Peach, Baby Daisy, Dry Bowser and Funky Kong

MK7: Lakitu, Wiggler, Metal Mario, and Honey Queen.

If they did add Kamek as a playable character, it wouldn't be that farfetched.

[NASCARFAN160]

Looks like that the game had more polygons before the final version.

[SoulCloset]

@Yuriofwind Yuri, want to fight me in a mario kart double dash drifting challnge?

(assuming you still like mario kart)

[Kaveeteh]

Kamek was probaly the original intention since Donkey Kong is created by Rare. Nintendo probaly didnt have the rights to use DK in the original design but when they did they replaced Kamek with him. Not to mention Donkey Kong and Mario are two separate game series by the time Mario Kart 64 came out.

[000MrM]

@Kaveeteh Nintendo created DK, Rare just worked on the DKC games and DK64.

[TheFatty2497]

@Kaveeteh If you look at the credits of this game it thanks Rare for letting them use the DK model for mario kart.

[Nightsofdream]

i honestly would have liked to see Kamek playable, but i also like kamek so i guess that is just my opinion

[QuickestMario]

Oh my....is that kamek? 1:11

[LHunterO78]

This is more of an Alpha, not a beta.

[TheChuggaFan]

In SMKR, Wario looks like less of a menace, almost like a typical person. In Mario Kart 64, Wario looks like he's insane. Also, fatter.

[gabbypie64]

i like diddykong racing better its on off the few 64 games i remaber playing as a..5 year old

the werid thing is i rembeer the snes better zomies ate my neghtiber

[2Dsssdds]

i have an idea, they probably chose magikoopa because they had no license by rare to use donkey kong, sort of what happenend with the early version of mario party

[Gizametalman]

for those who dont know... Shoshinkai was the Magnificent event, where all kind of technologyes were "showed" after they release to general public.

Then, i think, it changed his name for "E3" (Expo Electronic Entertainment)

BTW: The shoshinkai, was only celebated in Japan.

[5dollars]

I've been watching most of your videos and i loved all of them mostly the ura zelda gaming mysterious and zelda gaiden anyways you have been subbed ^_^

[IcyFlameFilms]

Magikoopa? I'm WIZARDHEIMER!

[Yuriofwind]

@IcyFlameFilms YOU'RE A WIZARDHEIMER HARRY! That's all I know about Harry Potter these days.

[IcyFlameFilms]

@Yuriofwind Dude I have been watching all of your gaming mysteries and I think you should do more BETAs

[ChaoticDarkShadow]

@Yuriofwind You forgot something the feather from SMK was meant to be in this game.

[sskorpiana]

@IcyFlameFilms It's Kamek that was going to be playable.

[theturtlers]

dk is not ther becus he suks

[shadowisbeastandstuf]

@theturtlers I REALLY hope you're trolling.

[saurfan]

the textures, models, and overall layout for the Beta was downright Garbage and AWFUL. Nintendo knew the crap that was clogging there pipes in the Beta and THANKFULLY fixed it.

Donkey Kong FTW! (whoever thought of taking Donkey Kong out just makes me cry. Donkey Kong HAS and ALWAYS will be in every mario kart. And will always be my main alongside birdo and petey piranha)

[bmcj199]

@Johnnymushio You don't speak for everyone, my friend. I respect your opinion though.

[Johnnymushio]

The ending song to Mario Kart 7 sucks, this N64 ending song is the best in the series.

[bmcj199]

@Johnnymushio Mario Kart 7 ending theme is awesome (especially for Jazz enthusiasts)

[Johnnymushio]

@bmcj199 ONLY to jazz enthusiasts.

[AceAttorny]

I think Kamek is cool, and he should have been an unlockable character.

[Mloi3]

Do Mario Kart DS beta Version!!!

[xXOpticButtholeXx]

couldnt they have had both dk and mk?

[Weegeeisgoingtokillm]

What does cannot be saved for ghost mean?

[linkpwnsevery1]

@Weegeeisgoingtokillm he was playing "time trial" so you cant save your ghost data for that track.

[TVsmasher66]

@Yuriofwind If you watch the G4 Nintendo E3 Conference they show a scene from the beta where you see Magikoopa. :)

[jellomanjello]

My opinion is: If you think about it, its called MARIO Cart racing, so naturally they would have only characters from the mario universe. Since donkey kong is now accociated with rareware and doesnt appear in mario games,it would be logical to expect that he wouldnt be present.

[AnimeOtakuStar]

@jellomanjello Donkey Kong is loosley related with the Mario series. Both DK and Mario started together in the old Donkey Kong arcade game. Donkey Kong is only associaited with Rareware for the Donkey Kong Country games and Donkey Kong 64 since Rare made those games during the time when Nintedo owned them.

[awesomeguy2009]

Do a mario sunshine beta please?

[NintendoNinja72]

you sound like the blond haired kid from the polar express

[SuperMarioFunnyToys]

I hate Nintendo for erasing Magikoopa and put a smelly dumb ape. I think they shouldve kept the original artwork also.

[DoMiNeLa10]

Original SMK was great. MK64 sucks.

[communistrecords]

@DoMiNeLa10 Lies and heresy.

[TheRealHackmaster]

@DoMiNeLa10 If you actually had this game you wouldn't say that

[SetaSiittio]

At the ending credits it says that DK model was made by RareWare UK, if i remember right. Could it have something to do with the late adding of DK?

Great videos! Every day i dream about Ura zelda etc...

[mariogamefreak1]

You should do a gaming mystery for the orginal Banjo Kazooie because it was orginally going to be a RPG which a whole different character called Edision who was captured by pirates named Captain Black eye who made a cameo in Banjo Tooie. It was called project dream and was going to be for the SNES.The reason it got cancelled because they wanted to port it to the N64 which had a 3D engine. They had issues porting it over which led to a new game.

[mariogamefreak1]

You know that they changed the name from super mario kart R to Mario Kart 64 because of legal issues with sega because sega had a racing game called sonic R which was for the sega saturn.

[Themaniacnextdoor]

I always end up calling mario kart marion kult. that should exsist- bowser could be the dark master.

[Darksuperchaossonic]

The reason Donkey kong wasn't there, He was only meant to be in his first game only, but Nintendo said one day, "Fuck it." and put him in every other game.

Helpful?

[MrRare97]

In the beta was the carrot of super mario land 2 ;)

[megavictorcool]

i know another reason, look closely...

THERE IS NO MAP!

[mariomaster87]

[I dont know if you've done this yet, but]

Do one on Tails doll. You know we ALL want it.

[pokefriend123]

I would've like Kamek :( he's very~ different

[TheNinwii]

Sonic R? mario kart R? coincidence?

[NautoLP]

I'm very happy that Nintendo decided to put DK in the game instead of Magickoopa , but they should put him and Koopa in the game too. That would have been the best.

[DudeGuyPerson64]

Sorry to MagiKoopa and all his fans... all 3 of them

[teringmongool123]

Why are the Beta versions always better than the game itself?

[KittyInTheWater]

They wouldve kept the name ''Super Mario Kart R'' but they were gonna get sued by SEGA which caused them to use ''64'' at the end of Mario Kart. sonic r was also... excuse my french but MOST BALLS-LICKIN' GAME THAT EVER TOUCHED THE KART FRANCHISE. IT HAD 5 LEVELS!!! 5! AND THEY ALL SUCKED BAWLS!

[EASTWICKgames]

They changed the name because SEGA said that Mario Kart R sounded too much like Sonic R, SEGA's competitor to Mario Kart on the Saturn. Of course, we all know which game turned out better anyway XD

[cannonwe2]

They should have kept Magickoopa, Donkey Kong sucks ass.

[NeloAngeloA7X]

great beta episodes.. = )

[Yuriofwind]

@NeloAngeloA7X Thanks :D. Today has been like, super positive feedback day xD.

[ocarinag33k]

@Yuriofwind i like to see people who actualy respond to their viewers, and i can see you do alot of it because my whole damn recent activity log is filled with all myour comments! xD seriously though, i love gaming mysteries because well, it's one of a kind, and you yourself are an awesome guy ^.^ keep up the great work!!!

[Yuriofwind]

@ocarinag33k Well I'm happy to respond to people :3, the fact that people even like what I do still baffles me(and makes me happy) I actually just disabled that comment thing because I don't want everyone to get spammed you know? I've been responding to A LOT of comments today, so I'm going to leave that off for a bit xD. But I'm glad you enjoy the videos, and thank you ^_^.

[ocarinag33k]

@Yuriofwind you're very polite as well! your welcome! i will always enjoy these videos ^.^ keep up all your good work dude!!! and don't listen to them...they obviously don't know that KAMEK IS A FUCKING MAGIKOOPA....AND THAT THEY ARE THE SAME THING! sigh* Ok. well thats all!

[XxSilverSaturnxX]

I have answers to two of your mysteries.

1. They changed it from Super Mario Kart R to 64 because the title was considered a rip off of Sonic R

2. It's Kamek NOT Magikoopa. They chose him because he was a major character in Yoshi's Island.

[jerzy862]

DONT TALK SHIT ABOUT MAGIKOOPA

[virgil592]

...did I see a ad for Malboro in a Mario game?

[Yuriofwind]

@virgil592 Close, it's Marioro, which I'm assuming is Mario's official line of cigarettes that you can probably only get through Club Nintendo. Everybody save your points!

[virgil592]

@Yuriofwind 8,500 points well worth it

[GameBushidoDotCom]

It may be a little hard to tell considering the low quality of the prototype videos, but is it just me or does it look like the proto characters used real 3D instead of pre-rendered graphics? At least on their gigantic heads?

[GreenGiantShit]

@GameBushidoDotCom

Pre-rendered graphics? What? They are sprites.

[GameBushidoDotCom]

@GreenGiantShit Yeah, sprites made using pre-rendered graphics.

[Myuutantobasuta]

Magikoopa was replaced by Donkey Kong because they had to cut a deal with rare to use the same design as the Donkey Kong Country version. It took time to seal the deal.

[AstarProductions17]

can u do the rayman 2 beta cause the beta was 2d but the final counterpart was 3d

[KarmaMustardGamer]

@AstarProductions17 Rayman 2 ftw ^_^

[Panthersfan2]

0:59...Marioro? Mario has a brand of Cigarettes?

[HitomiSusuki1]

Just out of curiosity if you guys had to choose. Which would you choose and why? Mario kart 64? or Diddy Kong Racing? :3

[projackX]

I'm kinda sad... I thought Magikoopa was Geno in the thumbnail. XD

[evilcake567]

WHY ARE THERE HATERS FOR THIS SHOW YOU FUCKING IDOTS THIS SHOW IS AWESOME

[robloxlegomaster]

kamek would been better

[Aztayearth]

if you havent can you do the simon wai prototype for sonic the hedgehog 2?

[Kozoguy]

thats not a magic koopa, thats kamek

[Yuriofwind]

@Kozoguy And what the fuck may I ask is Kamek? OH YEAH, a Magikoopa. So it totally is a Magikoopa. Glad we could clear that up for everyone.

[Kozoguy]

@Yuriofwind good.. :D

[xDr4kxKILLERx]

@Yuriofwind Any luck with the DD?

[tarkeke]

@Yuriofwind kamek is a villain throughout the mario series, mario world 2, new super mario bros, the paper mario games, he's mostly appeared as bowser's sidekick. I personally think it was a shame they dumped him, but on the other hand I'm glad they chose donkey kong anyway..

[supersuato123]

@tarkeke NO... I freaking hate that monkey!!!!! in the mario kart series :S

[HMMMMHI]

DAMNIT YURI I CANT STOP WATCHING

[SuperHeroZX]

You forgot to talk about the Feather item which was retired!

[timeticker326]

Take in mind that when this beta was created, the previous game featuring donkey kong was its original Donkey Kong game back in the early 80's

[Yuriofwind]

@timeticker326 I think you're forgetting Donkey Kong Country which was released in 1994, this game was first shown off in 1995.

Also, mad props to Wikipedia for getting me out of watching my own video to get that date. Go internet.

[timeticker326]

@Yuriofwind Touche! Agreed, and props for responding so quickly. Oh and BTW i subbed.

[victorhugo2826]

I REALLY DONT KNOW WHY THEY AD DONKEY KONG ARRG STUPID NINTENDO..

[sinancothebest]

@victorhugo2826 YeaH! your right!!! It would be greater if:

-No DK- -Yes Kamek-

[102xxScorpionxx102]

lol this was the first and one of the best video games I've played in my life

[Gilc3tv]

how do you get the narration in your videos

[infersaime]

I heared They changed the name because of Sonic R at least that's what I heared.

[HardwareHank02]

lol, Mario supports smoking

[Sonic9000Xtreme]

What's wit the "Malboro" parody in the beta version that say,"Marioro"?

[Raccoon7777777]

@Sonic9000Xtreme Those are the banners for the Japanese version of the game. They were edited in the English release for obvious reasons.

[tamenga88]

Enjoyed Mario kart 64 too though I really hated the Elastic band AI now and then.

[gamevingw]

Well... We have sonic r... Close enough?

[seanieskykiller]

Ok what the fuck!? At 00:59 it says Marioro with the Marlboro logo afterwards?

[adonis4441]

Rendered sprites

Trembling graphics

Blurry textures

Peaks ugly polygons

The Nintendo 64 has bad graphics...

[charizardoreo]

@adonis4441 stfu

[adonis4441]

@charizardoreo xD

[QuikDrawMcRaw]

@adonis4441 Puh. Not in the at the time it didn't it was don

[adonis4441]

@QuikDrawMcRaw The 2D Rendering Sucks

[Remolizzo]

Do you have a video regarding "Marty" (the big green Thwomp behind the cage in Bowser's Castle) being a playable character in Mario Kart 64? If you do, I'd really like to see it.

[zgates]

I'm bizarrely addicted to these videos.

[Yuriofwind]

@zgates They say the first step is admitting you have an addiction. I think the second step is feeding the addition, or something like that.

I am truly a role model for children everywhere.

[Sonicyay4]

@Yuriofwind The reason the name was changed was because SEGA was also using the name for Sonic R.

[ralphymanthegreat]

@zgates me too

[Reloading26]

can you one for the resident evil 1.5?

[ICharlyl]

what i like about mario kart 64 is that the characters blink

[hburke7799]

i love the EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEE smoke

[OniSamaGin]

love having this on my project 64 emulator wish i could play it more than i really do .. thanks for reminding me i have it.. and inspiring me to play more n64 games today..  ya i think ill get some yoshi story in too today.

[rylanpeden]

you man kamek

[Yuriofwind]

@rylanpeden No, my name is Andrew.

[theretrogamerno1]

I think it would have been better because there not 2d posters there 3d

[MikeRoePhonicsMusic]

I think Rare had the rights to DK at the time. It was probably a legal matter.

[TheMegagamer530]

@444Dico yes,cbfd was going to be a kids game called conkers quest,but people hated kiddie conker so they scraped it and made cbfd

[Nap712]

Koopa Troopa was my favorite character for the SNES Mario Kart. They replaced him with Kamek from Yoshi's Island, then replaced Kamek with DK. They're all fine in my opinions.. would have been great to see what stats Kamek had though, since I never play DK because he's so heavy

[poseidonrox95]

The reason why DK was not present was because he was at the time owned by Rare ware. In the credits it even pays tribute to Rare for the DK 3D model.

[ProtomanZX22]

I guess that's fine with DK. Maybe the reason why Kamek is remove cause that magikoopa is going to cheat by using magic and not driving.

And I just remembered the 1st Mario Kart on SNES. It use to have plain Koopa there. Must be that Wario's taking Koopa's spot there.

[TheSmashbros45]

the beta player select screen creeps me out

[sinancothebest]

Ah, Please nintendo! use Kamek in mario kart games!!!

[hippymonkmon]

Wow! These videos are amazing! How did you find out about all these betas?

[OmagaMinion]

you should do jelly boy 2 snes

[marsgreekgod]

I rather have kamek/magic koopa

[Th3ForgottenOne]

The weird of all this is the fact that Kamek did not appear in any new Mario Kart game, but all of the other characters did in recent versions.

I really would like to see Kamek in newer versions of Mario Kart.

[mdh0422]

1:58 Green Hill?

[ZyxthePest]

Magikoopa has fans?

[zgameboy217]

Magikoopa was supossed to replace Koopa, because he was in the SNES. Donkey Kong later replaced Magikoopa because DK is more of a main character than Magikoopa was recently. DK also replaced Donkey Kong Jr. DK Jr. was never in MK64 because Nintendo decided to have DK, instead of his son. The reason DK Jr. was in SMK was because in the recent games DK was in games, he was huge. DK Jr. was small enough to fit in a kart, so he was in SMK for the SNES. I hope this helped alot.

[QuikDrawMcRaw]

@zgameboy217 DK jr grew into current Donkey Kong so they're actually the same ape, the original DK from the arcades and NES is now Cranky Kong if I remember correctly

[KoolKempster]

Koopa Troopa and Magikoopa would of been in it. That would of been awesome :D

[Rhises]

From what I remember, on the back of certain N64 boxes that held the console you could see a picture of Mario Kart 64 on the back. One notable thing about the screenshot is it had a feather in the item box, I'm guessing the feather (from Mario Kart on the snes) was supposed to make a return but was later removed? Think you could research on this Yuri?

[armitx9]

1:53 why? /watch?v=UUvHgrjaFB8

'nuff said

[badgraphix]

I'm surprised they haven't used Magikoopa in any of the more recent Mario Karts (unless he was in MK Wii and I wasn't aware). He's a decently-designed character.

[JerryDelPozo]

those item boxes looks like cubes. very similar to the item boxes found in Mario Kart Double Dash!!.

[spongebobstar42]

Maybe Nintendo didn't have permission from Rare to have DK in the game

[kaihedgie]

@spongebobstar42 Donkey Kong was always an Nintendo character.

[DXstarman]

so is there a rom of the game?

[2x4sonicx]

yuriofwind, Shoshinkai game show is actually Space World

[MASTERULEZ]

a:41 they should have kept toad ;best games ever

1loz. majoras mask

2 mario kart 64

3 super mario 64

[Anonym0109]

HOLY SHIT, IS THAT BANNER A PLAY ON MALBORO CIGGARETTES? Ballsy. Marioro...

[CRAIGGU4]

I would have loved mor a magikoopa to be in the game, they are so awsome! But then again, the game series would probobly never have bananas, and other donkey kong levels. Very scary though.

[luigilikesspaghetti]

lol marlboro

[QuikDrawMcRaw]

It was probably Kamek from Yoshis Island, not just a generic magikoopa

[Yuriofwind]

@QuikDrawMcRaw All sources referred to said character as "Magikoopa" so I went with Magikoopa. Could it have been Kamek? Sure. Do I really care either way? Nope.

[QuikDrawMcRaw]

@Yuriofwind Hmm, what would his signature weapon have been, didn't he shoot doughnut shapes out of his wand or something? And wouldn't banana skins be ruled obselete without DK in the game? And surely Kamek couldn't be classed as a heavy character, like DK, so it would be an unbalanced character range ? Uhh nah, I mean yeh, I don't really care either.

[TVsmasher66]

Yuriofwind, at E3 2011 for a split second I ACTUALLY SAW MAGIKOOPA in a Mario kart 64 scene. I think it's only in the G4 version, though...

[Ultimafire1258]

10 times better then SONIC R

[Giorgos52611]

@Ultimafire1258 I agree whith you but the music of sonic r was better than mario kart. Mario Kart was better because you are driving a kart but on sonic r you are walking around places. :)

[tarkeke]

@Giorgos52611 and the controllers were incredibly sensitive, not to mention there were only 4 stages total, unbalanced rooster and finally no multiplayer
