Video

Crisp sound effects, sharp music, smooth camera panning, This got some Tomodachi life vibes.

2:00 BOING BOING BOING BOING BOING BOING BOING BOING BOING BOING BOING BOING BOING BOING BOING BOING

I like how all the music is dreamlike, bordering on the same vibes as Yume Nikki, but then you get in the theater and the music immediately becomes Clown Falling Down The Stairs

7:45 so many coins...even my pc lagged o.o

red arrow is peak character design

omg i want to live there

the impact this demo has had on me is indescribable

i like how the intro to the foyer/entrance theme sounds vaguely like the intro of dire dire docks/ jolly roger bay from sm64

THE MUSIC IN THE MAIN AREA!!!! THAT'S THE PARALLEL LOBBY IN B3313!!!!!

...this is the first time I stumble into this oddity. What is this?... GameCube World... Hmm, looks like a game that's meant to display the capabilities of the GameCube (known as the Dolphin during development, hence the dolphin motif everywhere), starting you off in Peach's... _Castel._ Well whoops 😅 still, how cool is that? And every area is focused on some different technical aspect of the GameCube, like the big textures with high resolutions, shading and lighting effects, even more technical stuff like anti-aliasing!.. tho I'm not really sure how that is showcased in the Hangar, ngl. I love it when games do that for their respective consoles, it reminds me of Astro's Playroom for the PS5, though that was way more of a game, and also a bit more of a trip down memory lane too, a love letter to the history of the console, while this is more of a straight technical showcase but in a more creative and hands-on format.

Lore of Princess Peach's Castle (Gamecube Tech Demo) Running on Hardware - Normal Mode momentum 100

That metal mario room scream frutiger aero

This kind of feels like a cut prologue for Luigi’s Mansion.

I think the lobby of this castle might of been scraped and remodelled into the foyer from Luigi’s mansion GC

6:23 man, that atmosphere and music from the "Metal Mario room" goes so hard!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 it's screaming 90s

I love the liminal feeling that the castle and the music give, it's like a place I have dreamed of or that I feel like I've been to before

Is this an actual tech demo, or an ARG?

I didn't even know this existed until now

Anyone here from b3133?

I'm surprised that a low-poly version of this hasn't been used in B3313, or anywhere else. It just sits there, collecting dust, wondering how it's one of the not much Mario stuff that hasn't been talk about a ton.

1:54 Kinda reminds me of Riddle Tower from Paper Mario TTYD for some reason

Imagine how Mario 64 would look if it came out on the Gamecube.

this is a relic

I fleshed out the little arrow guy into my own little character because I loved him so much I'm insane.

this graphics looks like randor from the nineties but works in real time

0:02 Ah I remember demo games is welcome to gamecube world late 2000s nostalgia overlord!

This makes me feel weirdly nostalgic.

This is literally the coolest interpretation of peaches castle I've seen yet, how am I only now learning this exist?!

0:12 Why is the Door Knocking Sound the same as Mrs Pomp from Baldi’s Basics Stomping

This randomly got recommended to me

This video just makes me want MORE. i want a mario game that looks exactly like this

A mario game in this style would be so eerie, but so perfect

Rare footage of Super Mario 128

bumpmaps and shadows could happen on the cube, aside from lack of knowledge on the SDK, i wonder why more games didn’t use these features? only games i know use some kind of normals or bumps are godzilla DAMM and battalion wars. i’d love to know any more games that use any type of these advanced features like on the xbox.

lol actually trying to do this rn so sick to see that you where already doing this 12 years ago

Why does this seem familiar

Now somebody out there must make a SM64 hack Gamecube render of Super Mario 64 with the models from Super Smash Bros Melee and Luigi's Mansion and probably call it "Super Mario GameCube" or "Super Mario '01" ASAP!!!!

Literally ray tracing on a gamecube in 2000 lol 7:24

This sounds so much like Super Mario Sunshine or Super Mario Galaxy music.

Timestamps for different rooms?

I wouldn't lie when I'd say I'd rather have luigis mansion on wii and this on gc, looked like a great game

ok uh at 5:51 sonic music starts playing???

music : )

8:16 no, please! Don't turn me into a panca-

one day youtube will recommend it to everyone

Quantum graphics !!!!!

Can You Tell Me How You Played This? Please? I Really Want To Know. Please I Really Want To Play It.

😳 What if we kissed in the Antialiasing Hangar 😳

Why's this so creepy to me?

Man, this could become a game.
