Super Mario Strikers has been hiding some bizarre secrets since it debuted on the GameCube in 200𒁃6.
Dataminer took to Tw𝔍itter with a thread of examples found within the annals of Super Mario Strikers, including a team of "generic Mario style humans". Aside from resembling ඣcomic character , these humanoid models are dressed in Mario-esque costumes, almost as though they're clones.
Was digging through the game's files on a whim, and evidently the final build of Super Mario Strikers on Gamecube just has an entire team's worth of generic Mario style humans and a whole bunch of other unused stuff that I've never seen anybody talk about?? (thread) pic.twitꦡter.com/Lty9Jp4zDH
The same thing is seen with DK, with the insinuation, according to @Dogon_McBanana, that each team captain was meant to hav✃e their own "unique team of sidekicks" at some point. Each captain, including DK and Luigi, have their own duplicates, textures included, but in a "weird" format. ꦛ;
It seems like at some poiꦺnt each captain was going to have their own unique team of sidekicks. DK has a team of other Kong-like characters, for example. Luigi also has a dupe of himself for his sidekick, likely placeholder. They all have textures, but they're in a weird format. pic.twitter.com/kaJXoat76o
In addition to these strange characte💝rs, the game was hiding a Dull Bones from the Paper Mario series, referred to as a "Medic" in addition to security Pianta characters as seen in Super Mario Sunshine, which appear to have gone unused.
There's also a Dull Bones from the Paper Mario Series fully realized🍃 in 3D, labeled as "Medic". I think some form of these security Pinatas were in the E3 Prototype, but so far as I can tell they go unused in the final game. pic.twitter.com/VTxwjhi4Jb
All of these models come in tandem with a variety of cameras, TV vans, and even an appearance by Shy Guy. Perhaps most interestingly, there were a variety of unused banners and signs, in addition to a variety of unused Mario recolors. There are both Wario and Luigi palette swaps for the plumber, but nothing to explain their presence, beyond a🐈pparent character customization that didn't make the cut in the final game.
There's also a whole bunch of unused and early bann😼ers and signs, but the texture format for the early stuff seems to be different and I don't have the technical knowledge to fix it, so I didn't bother grabbing screen-caps of many.Mario's Aqua Juice(?) + unused Mario recolors. pic.twitter.com/41EVAdLDm9
As @Dogon_McBanana points out, all of these models are accessiꦕble by way of Switch Toolbox, in the event you'd like to see them for yourself. ꦺ;
Of course, there's no official context behind these images, so we'll have to surmise what they may have been used for all on our own. With 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Mario Strikers: Battle League coming to the Switch this summer, the sport-centric Mari🌸o series is seeing a comeback.
Perhaps we'll see unused ideas from the past come to life in the new entry when it launches on June 10. Until the🎉n, it's still entertaining to wonder what could have been.
