- Sorry for the low-ish quality, my laptop kinda sucks and this was the best I could do with it. These levels have been hidden in the game for over 13 years, just recently found by me with help from Subdrag.
0:20 - Generic Level
2:46 - Unused Lagoon
4:15 - Unused Volcano
5:40 - Cube Test
6:55 - Snow Mountain (Cannot access at the moment, maybe later)
See Subdrag's vid of Mickey's Speedway USA unused levels! It contains levels from Diddy Kong Racing and Jet Force Gemini for some reason. • Mickey's Speedway Beta... - เกม

So crazy that these are just being found now.
Betas and unused content are fascinating to me.
this was one of my favorite 64 games as a kid. glad to have grown up playing such unforgettable games.
Great finds. Knowing Rare, I'm not surprised there was more hidden away in here that wasn't accessible by normal means...
JFG also has a bunch of text from this game.
Splendid finds! Kudos to you and Sub for uncovering these hidden gems.
Ok, I swear I have seen that "Unused Lagoon" before. If i'm not just imagining things, that was used at one point to give players a chance to try out the battle mode on a Beta version of the game which was considered a trial version which you could play at various places that sold video games (The one I remember most being Toys R Us...since I was young). It was like a huge console with about 20 game trials to pick from. oddly enough, the version I remember had a "fog" effect in the sky.
Well done. Rare used to have so much awesome stuff hidden away in their code. Even to this days secrets are still being found!
Rare always had the most interesting beta content.
Stop N' Go Station comes to mind, but these maps look great.
I love Diddy Kong Racing. Gotta be the Greatest Racing Adventure ever!
These little secrets are soo cool, thanks for uploading them! :-)
I always dreamed that you could uncover another part to Adventure Island by using the Hovercraft around the outer beach cliffs and find a secret world of extra levels!.....Had similar dreams with to Super Mario 64 and Peach's Castle! The Nintendo 64 and especially Rare made these Awesome moments! :-D
Sounds a little like a dark ambient piece. Interesting genre if you've got the time and patience to listen. I could be wrong though, it sounds like it could be one of Aphex Twin's more ambient pieces.
6:44 The control stick sprites are from Conker's Bad Fur Day
Wow i thought ive seen the code for the color cube before. A few of those maps give me a jet force gemini vibe. after finishing diddy king racing, the same team worked on jet force gemini
Over 13 years?
Damn, must been like a hide and seek with waldo. Always there, never seen.
0:20 must have been for references to tracks.
2:46 and 4:15 There might have been a battle mode in this game (if there wasn't already, it's been long since I played this game), but got canceled, possibly due to memory issues.
5:40 The famous test levels. Chances are that this was used for cut-scenes.
6:55 It's possible that they didn't even start to work on the map much.
Diddy kong racing DS Has some of these levels
Oh, wow. The first level looks like a level that would have been strictly for hovercrafts, with all that water.
Wow.. There sure is a lot of unused stuff in this game! First a lot of these beta objects, then these 2D objects, text, and now maps.. xD
1. Terrain/lighting test
2. Hover Craft Test
3. Hot Top Volcano Beta (?)
4. Rare's Debug Cube
@ShadTheCrazed Could be. Could also be one of the early tracks from when the game became a racing game.
There is a battle mode, but I'm thinking it could be a beta version of the water one in the final.
Yeah, it could be used for anything really. Animations and such are likely.
Apparently there is only part of an ice mountain in this map. It could be a remnant of a partially deleted map, or as you said, not worked on much.
I only wish the beta hub world had been dug up. I can dream, I guess.
Very impressive.
that music in the cube test -.- i think the lake is a canceled version of darkwater beach, the volvan level for hot top volcano, the first one look very diferent from the rest.
I found the music, it is off Jet Force Gemini. It is the space station theme.
That draw distance is giving me wicked anxiety
so this is what you and sub were up to!
I was gutted when Donkey Kong Racing got cancelled for the Gamecube!
I'm surprised the programmers never mentioned this to anyone.
I mean, some of them HAD to know these existed right?
mabey these levels were to complcated and often the testers got lost and had a hard time
hmm nice mods, or at least i'm assuming these are mods and not actual levels hidden in the game cart as the similarities to existing data is far to notciable. Either way this is pretty interesting, I'd have loved to have seen some of these in the game.
@CrazyPilf These are actual levels, unused and with no assigned level slot in the game.
By console, I meant "machine" so it was hooked up to a large display and whatnot.
So interesting!
I wonder if any of these were intended to be a fifth bonus. There's a clear key hiding spot in the back of the right side of the start at Spaceport Alpha, and that cube could've potentially been the unfinished stage.
Someone needs to mod these into the game. There arent enough hacked n64 games out there
David Lopez I fully agree with that
Were those llamas on the walls in the first level?!
I was surprised that there are five. I thought there'd be a test level of some sort, but wow.
How do they compare against those maps I attached in the thread?
this may explain the hidden key level of future fun land....
answer to this,anyone?
I really wish that the first one made it into the game, it looks really cool!
I swear I saw jiggywiggy's temple at 0:29
the first level, is like beta wizpig course
wow, very good documentation, great video! :D :D Can you overcome the plane flight limit via gameshark?
I thought it was music off Zelda O.O.T at first!....Not sure though.
Did anything ever come of having DKR decompressed? Like support for editors like that one for Banjo? I'm also pretty sure some of these levels still have map data too.
lol What is the scary music played during the cube test level?
ojala eso fuera de berdad
Si lo es, solo que eran niveles beta y no se incluyeron al final unu
neat
Just wondering, what was the name of the music playing through the Cube Test?
quizá lo sea pero tendría que ser un hack
how did u find these then?
4:26 Bad place to put a lighthouse XD
que cosa?
haha wow
0:47 What fucking kind of music loop is that supposed to be
