We have actual spoken Bowser dialogue now, we can actually sentence mix Bowser now, AND the intro voices without the music, I hope this becomes a renaissance for Hotel Mario YTPs
@@Nmac-the difference is that before, people had to use the voices with the music filtered out, which made them far lower quality. Now we can have the voices in higher quality.
@@pgj1997that caught me off guard too along with the few extra frames of animation Mario makes when reading the letter which wasn't in the final game as well
Yea, its the original animation for the previous dialogue, but they re-recorded Marc Graue's voice again with the edited line and paused its animation halfway.
@@ViddyOJames We don't know how long it had been since that decision was made though. Even if the lost hotel isn't here, it doesn't mean that the cutscene(s) were never animated. The idea of eight hotels did get far enough to make it to voice acting, after all. That's assuming those potential cutscenes ever got far enough to be implemented though.
@@Hijiri_MIRACHION Unfortunately, if the level was cut, it's likely the animation isn't on disc. The animations are stored in L*_av.rtf files numbered from 0 - 8, but missing a number 6. 0 is the demo level, and 1 - 8 (without 6) make up the 7 levels of the released game. If there's an L6_av.rtf file on the disc then that should contain the missing animations and level screens
It appears the “enclosed instruction book” line was just haphazardly slapped together since Mario's movements and lip syncing are timed with the “press button one” animation.
This is actually an insane find. Officially isolated dialogue, different takes, Mario's "button two" animation, and Bowser's CD-i voice. Definitely gonna have a field day with these in poops.
Very interesting intro difference. It's so weird hearing it without the music too. The part about 8 hotels actually does not surprise me: In the game level files, one number is skipped: Hotel 6, it's going from Hotel 5 to 7 in the internal numbering scheme. The help audio is actually in the final game as is, but is an unused leftover. Can't wait to have access to the dumped disc image, because I'm definitely down to do some extra checks inside the files.
What's even odder is that the help audio mentions SEVEN hotels as well, even in the beta where the intro mentions eight! Was the plan changed by this point already?
I just realized that during the "Enclosed instruction booklet" part, the mouths were never resynced from the beta audio. He's still mouthing "Press button one" in the retail version.
he's mouthing "if you want instructions on how to get through the hotels, press button one. if you wanna move on to the game..." and the animation cuts off.
Most of the voices anyway, but now most of the voices are finally in a clean format. Mario reading the letter and him mentioning the "Enclosed Instruction Book" are missing, but in exchange we get Bowser's previously unheard CD-i voice and am entirely new line for Mario.
No joke, this should be in a museum. I WISH I could discover something like this at the thrift. I really do. This might be the greatest thrift find I’ve ever seen on TH-cam. I’m excited to see more as it gets revealed! :D
The cutting room floor does not lie after all. Maybe it was supposed to be read by Mario's VA in the final but decided against it, unlike the Link/Zelda Games, where it was read by Link and Zelda's VA's in their own games.
@@madden8021Definitely sounds like placeholder audio recorded by a developer of the game, it reads like it was eventually supposed to be dubbed over but was eventually cut altogether due to time constraints. Probably why the segment where he alludes about pressing button 1 in order to get into the help guide is chopped up in the retail release to just reference the “enclosed instruction book”
10:09 Can I just say what an underrated line "me and MY HANDSOME BROTHER LUIGI" is? I wanted to say so since I first heard this unused in the final version
10:08 "-and you'll see me and my handsome brother Luigi, telling you what to expect in the next hotel." Either Mario is showing that he appreciates his brother or the voice actor has personal feelings towards Luigi
The fact something as important and amazing as this Beta got found in a thrift store out of all places baffles me, its insane and I'm very glad this got found by someone who's actually willing to dump the game and not let it rot to time Keep up the good work! Hope more footage gets showcased soon 👏
Reminds me of a book that few copies were printed and a mentor told me to keep on the lookout, he has one shared for his entire department and when found was sold for unreasonable prices. This used book store that everything of value was stripped off ages ago had it under a pile of discount bin stuff for $1
For those complaining that he hasn't dumped it yet, I have to point out the the CD-i uses the CD-i format (Or Green Book) for it's discs rather than the common CD-ROM (Or Yellow Book) used in every other CD based console. Nearly all of consumer grade CD and DVD computer drives can't read CD-i disks like they can with CD-ROMs. So it's less of a "I'm not archiving it until I'm popular" and more of a "Could you share this with others who know how to rip/archive CD-i discs?"
Makes sense there were gonna be 8 hotels, as their are seven Koopalings and then Bowser while the final game has Iggy without a proper hotel of his own.
Notably the help dialogue, other than also existing in the final game, does specify "7 koopaling hotels". Although the intro did say there's 8, I feel like I can't tell whether or not the missing 6th hotel, presumably Iggy's, will be in this build.
I can't remember what movie it was but I remember Dopply or somebody discovering that the Hotel Mario theme music is an old 1800s dance song that was featured in a movie.
Super cool that this was found by a collector who wants to preserve this and not some douchey reseller who would have just thrown this on ebay immediately.
Can't believe this was hidden for 30 years! And this was all found at a thrift store of all places, you think one of the developers would keep it knowing how many memes it spawned since the late 2000's
honestly the entire "help" dialog section was hilarious. my favorite lines from it are "look at that, i should have gone in the olympics" at 8:19 and also "my handsome brother luigi" at 10:09
Honestly, I kind of like the beta opening cutscene better. It's nice to hear Bowser say something, and to me, having a "help" option kind of flows a little better than just saying "look at the enclosed instruction booklet," even if saying "press button one or two" is a bit more long-winded. Personally, I would still keep the "It's from Bowser!" line from the final release, but the rest of the newly discovered beta lines kind of work. I'm not entirely sure why these things were changed for the final release.
Another difference with the title screen is the quality of the music. Retail is in mono while beta is stereo and of a much clearer audio quality. I assume the beta version is the one that was taken from the composer’s studio before any compression was done to fit it on the CD.
I grew up on those early TH-cam poop days of the cd-i games, and have become very passionate of game preservation and its community over the years so seeing this made me doubly happy 😊 The "inclosed instuction book" line really does feel like such a last minute decision when put next to the beta having in ingame choice haha
Huh, so the "enclosed instruction book" line reuses the original animation for the previous dialogue. What they did was re-recorded Marc Graue's entire line from beginning to end (since you can tell some differences in the inflection) and just stopped the animation halfway giving us the iconic one finger mouth open looking at camera pose we all know and love.
I've watched a video that has all of mario's lines read by the tutorial guy on the beta, so mario's VA was supposed to record those lines but for whatever reason it didn't go into the final game.
@@vittosphonecollection57289 Yeah when this guy said he found the beta i was like "no way there's no beta already out there", so i looked it up and found the video of the guy reading the lines.
@@Blankult Ah! While I watched like two/three years ago while getting a lot of Hotel Mario related videos because of the memes and because I liked the OST
There you have it! It's "Hey, Luigi", not "Gay Luigi". Good that that's cleared up. That voice is suppose to be Bowser, while Mario is reading the note? Wow! The ending of the intro is different too. New YTP material.
I think everyone knew the intended line wasn't actually "Gay Luigi", it's just funnier to pretend that's what he's saying, much like SM64's "so long gay Bowser"
Fascinating find! That tutorial dialogue at 7:30 is still in the final game but unused. With the beta's early dialogue and the presence of a tutorial, I'm speculating either the devs decided against the final game having a tutorial or this is perhaps a kiosk demo where an instruction book probably wouldn't have been available. Either way, I will be sticking around to see more!
Wgat;s interesting is that the note mentions 8 hotels instead of the normal 7. There's only 6 Koopalings and Bowser in the final game, totalling 7 levels, but it looks like Iggy was actually planned to have his hotel at one point. According to TCRF, there's a level missing between Ludwig and Wendy's levels, so that adds up. Some other discoveries people have made about the game that are listed on that page are also consistent with this porto; the unused "help" audio is still in the game but can't be played normally, and the French dub is missing Bowser's echo.
Insane find, happy for ya man, hope your channel blows up from this Its also REALLY weird hearing official new dialogue, it feels like I've entered a new universe man lol Excited for the next parts 🙏 Also thank you for unintentionally giving YTPers more material, maybe the Hotel Mario YTP return can happen again lol
Wow! After all these years we actually have new Mario and Bowser voice lines! Also, thank you for planning to dump the game! I'm interested to see what folks will find digging through the files.
are you able to stream this live? this is one of the biggest mario finds in a long time so me and other people probably want to see the missing hotel live. It would be a historic gaming moment for sure.
The alternate dialogue really hammers home, for me at least, how Mario in the retail release is just unwilling to explain how his own game works. “Need help? Ain’t getting it from me, read the instructions 😒” ☠️
One interesting thing that I noticed is that while in the intro cutscene Bowser mentions 8 hotels, the placeholder track of ‘help’ dialogue contrastingly mentions 7 hotels. Very interesting. I don’t want to make and assumptions as I’m no sort of video game development expert, but I imagine that 8 hotels were planned and Mario’s voice lines were recorded early on while this decision was in place. Later it was changed to 7 hotels, which would explain why it’s only a placeholder voiceover for the help screen which would’ve been implemented later on. Anyways, great video and fantastic work!

The mention of an eight hotel brings an earth shattering possibility: *WHAT IF THERE IS A SCRAPPED CUTSCENE?*
There could be two scrapped cutscenes! Don't forget that Hotels have cutscenes before and after you beat them.
Or even three since some hotels have an intermission - now that would be a best case scenario... @@Hijiri_MIRACHION
wouldn't get my hopes up. The instructions mention 7 hotels, meaning they probably already ditched the idea and hadn't rewritten the intro yet.
@@ViddyOJames We don't know how long it had been since that decision was made though. Even if the lost hotel isn't here, it doesn't mean that the cutscene(s) were never animated.
