When I was at Wal-Mart, I was going to get Castlevainia when I decided to play the demo version games.(those controllers that stick out and you play demo versions)

So I picked Mario Kart DS. (I got *** on everything except missions) Of Course, the main title screen was removed so I had to just had to choose a charicter and a cup.

I choose Luigi and Retro GP.

When I played the game I noticed this...

-the shells sprites were different
-the sounds were different (like when a red shells about to hit you)
-the item sprites were different
-drifting was screwed up
-music sounded weird
-chain chomp item (but i never saw it's effect)

The most important thing to me was the chain chomp item.

can this be explained? I mean, did Nintendo think chain chomp was a bad idea?

At my local best buy, we have the demo AND the real game standing next to each other. They look the same.

It's the beta version. The GCN version was taken out of the Retro GP as well.

Also, why does everyone have to pick Luigi????

Luigi Rules.

I don't. I pick Yoshi.

I always pick Luigi or Yoshi. I'd select (1st unlockable, not dead) and (3rd unlockable), but this is demo version we're talking about.

:D

I wonder who will get the 200,000th post? I hope it's me.

Also, aren't we creeping up on 10,000 topics?

Yes. I'm going to try to create the 10,000th topic as a celebration of the FF's achievements over the years. And so I can say that I created the 10,000th topic. :)

I never played the demo version since I already have MKDS. Next time I see it, though, I'll make sure to play it.

Sorry to bump this, but this may be of some significance.

I replayed the demo at Wal-Mart.

I only played Retro

Fig-8: Different Music
Yoshi Falls: Full Map looks different on the bottom screen
CC Beach: After the first speed jump, there's grass on the side but it doesn't decrease your speed.
Mansion: Same as final version

The speed is 50cc, but 4 people do a speed start while only 1 person does a smoke start.

If anybody can get this to me, I'll pay them. I collect these demos, but I don't have this particular one. It would be especially interesting since information could be added to the site.

You mean the actual game cartrigde? (not a rom(?))

Any sort of reward?

MEGAß¥TE · « **Reply #14 on:** March 10, 2006, 11:06:59 AM »

Yes, the cartridge. You would be paid, and maybe I'd even throw in a Mario Kart DS stylus from last E3...
