Interesting, I must say.
I wonder if these kind of stuff is still lingering in the .ISO? (the ones we already havent discovered) Now I wonder if the videos in IGN are the same as these ones.

No, I know some are different...
But I must say that AV/Sega did an amazing job at covering their tracks! 
There is barely any leftover elements/code for the stages (at least viewable ones...)
This is probably because leaving in old models consumed disc space on those tiny 1.4gb discs... |

Thanks to Dickson tip. I went to IGN youtube channel and stumbled upon interesting smb videos. Here they are.
Here it is. Shows the arcade version of expert floor 2.

Also, other video of interest is this one. It shows an early bonus stage, and different sound effects.

This other video shows beginner floor 8 with an underwater BG.

I came to a conclusion that the sunset BG was swapped for the underwater BG. Here is an image showing AD floor 22(?) in a sunset theme.
Interesting enough, stages 16 to 19 from the expert level of SMB1 appeared in the sunset BG in SMBDX, which appeared originally in an underwater theme.

Not unused, but I find it interesting that, unlike the other English/Japanese difficulty tabs (in the Practice Mode), this one is half the size of it. Sadly, nobody here has their hands on the Japanese version of Super Monkey Ball, so I guess we will never know if A.V. decided to cram this onto the second page or give it it's own page (like the NTSC/PAL version)...
I assumed this a few months ago - mainly based on the fact this image was the only Master rank in Japanese. Well, now that I have an actual copy of Super Monkey Ball in Japanese, I decided to investigate myself.
I did not expect this - apparently the selector for the Master level wasn't translated to Japanese in the first place - or it wasn't implemented. This confirms that the Japanese Master level selection is indeed unused.
Also, it seems that viewing the Cave background / files doesn't crash the game. Another fact I noticed is that the Japanese version has one less file and folder than the US verision. Will look into this later - though. |
