This is kinda horrifying, honestly. Imagine having to live in a world where everyone constantly tries to give you letters for a person who doesn't exist, and then berates you over something that never happened.
The villagers on beta maps have very similar designs. I suspect those are the very first villagers to ever be created during the development of the game.
It's strange, I remember there being a video showing all the beta maps on The Cutting Room Floor, but apparently it never existed. It's on there now... maybe sometime later I'll delete it, have my memory wipted, and time travel backwards?
Thank you for showcasing these maps! I could only find videos on Beta Map 0 and another one on Beta Map 2, so it's really cool to see all the other maps!
The lighthouse is actually accesible if you accept a quest from Mortimer where he goes on holidays and asks you to light the lighthouse each night. Thats what the lever is for
I think in one or all in beta maps have something in the mail,ok so if you check the houses mail,it will have mail in it saying,to iiiiiiiiiiiiii from iiiiiiiiiiiiiii and if you open the letter it will only be iiiiiiiiiiiiii’s. I got suspicious of the villagers when they kept saying iiiiiiiiiii so I did it myself and check the mail. This is just incase you wanted to know what was in the mail heh
The "iiiiiiiiiii" and corrupted names we keep seeing when talking to villagers are actually corrupted because they use Japanese hiragana and katakana characters in the original JP release but when Nintendo of America localised the game, they never bothered to translate those names. And since they cut out the Japanese symbols from the game it ended up corrupting them.
Yeah, technically you were on the island, but there was no town loaded or even in the game to go back to, so Kapp’n just kinda pushes the boat out, has an existential crisis, then the game dies
It's been a while, but I did mention this at the start. No, the ones that act normally and look exactly like normal gameplay areas likely are. What I did was make a savestate, loaded a map, loaded the savestate and increased ID by one, loaded a mp, loaded the savestate, and so on until I reach the end of the list of maps.
Fun Fact: You can access to beta map 1 by paying your biggest debt off and it has to be on Slot A1 and Slot A2 and that will take you to the beta testing map, if you tried to do it on Slot A4 and Slot A5 it will crash because the slots on beta testing map don't exists. This is for reference for hunter r..
beta map 6 feels like something out of a horror story, jesus christ. dont get me wrong, all of these feel uncanny for one reason or another but that one screws me up. it wouldnt even be so bad if the game just crashed when you tried to leave. but no. youre stuck there forever. aika village WISHES it could be this.
i recommend an emulator! if that’s not your thing and you have a wii with gamecube ports, you could always use that :) it’s cheaper and probably a lot easier than setting up a gamecube to a new tv
The entire game is under 20 megabytes, that's why you can remove the disc from your GameCube during most of gameplay with no issues - it all fits into memory. These unused and test maps likely take up practically no space at all, and removing them would take away from time spent on other development-related tasks.
@biancaanimations2 There's an Action Replay code somewhere out there to put a warp item in your inventory and another to change its destination. It's been years, I don't have it anymore, but you can probably find it.
I think I mainly focused on unused ones or just the ones that had things in them and not just an empty field of grass. Unless that empty field of grass uses a different texture.
@@Most-sane-deltarune-fan I wish fully, however I'm in a really tight spot in life that's preventing me from fully committing. Everyone is supportive but I want to wait to go further than "name I prefer to be called online" until I'm living on my own and I know I have the money to eat food the next day. Until then OneTopic keeps me entertained.

@@christinewheeler4934 Yes, like that.
But the island is kinda peaceful
@@Japanman-h7n In a way.

Bob was actually the very VERY first!
That part on the boat and the game crashing was horrifying and straight out of a creepypasta
OK! YOU ARE GREAT.
It was definitely a jumpscare lmao
6:15 damn bro I thought I was playing for a sec 😭
Thank you for uploading this! Couldn’t find a video anywhere else that has shown all of the beta maps
It's strange, I remember there being a video showing all the beta maps on The Cutting Room Floor, but apparently it never existed. It's on there now... maybe sometime later I'll delete it, have my memory wipted, and time travel backwards?
@@SlyCooperReloadCoded I know right? I thought I was going crazy for a moment. I coulda swore there was a video there...
Ok! you are great! 12:35
*Continues to earrape*
and the game crashed
nah honestly if i saw a crash screen like that alone i don't think would be here anymore
Beta Map 11 was probably a “base” or a tester for land shapes
Goose? More like Èù
xD
Apperently its a messed up Japanese name, which roughly translates to Johnny B
@@sapphiretoffee1100 Yes, the Animal Crossing wiki talks about that.
¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ doesnt have any mail space left!
@@christinewheeler4934 Well, no.
Thank you for showcasing these maps! I could only find videos on Beta Map 0 and another one on Beta Map 2, so it's really cool to see all the other maps!
beta map 6 is kinda a nightmare where you are stuck in a house forever unable to exit
@Xavi VR I like how you responded to a 2 year old comment.
@@Gmodfan750 thats how youtube works
Backrooms moment
2020 be like:
Whats the difference between that and the pandemic
The character names are the result of using a different character encoding than the one intended, producing something called "mojibake"
The lighthouse is actually accesible if you accept a quest from Mortimer where he goes on holidays and asks you to light the lighthouse each night.
Thats what the lever is for

I got suspicious of the villagers when they kept saying iiiiiiiiiii so I did it myself and check the mail. This is just incase you wanted to know what was in the mail heh
After seeing so much footage of these beta maps, i wonder what the backstory is behind "iiiiiiiiiiii" and why so many villagers talk about him/her
The "iiiiiiiiiii" and corrupted names we keep seeing when talking to villagers are actually corrupted because they use Japanese hiragana and katakana characters in the original JP release but when Nintendo of America localised the game, they never bothered to translate those names. And since they cut out the Japanese symbols from the game it ended up corrupting them.
@@v1nag3r Thanks, that actually makes a lot of sense.
I got creeped out about when the game crashed when you where on the boat
Yeah, technically you were on the island, but there was no town loaded or even in the game to go back to, so Kapp’n just kinda pushes the boat out, has an existential crisis, then the game dies
This whole beta map honestly looks like it came straight out of a 2010's creepypasta.
are all those "this room that is accessible" actually beta maps or are they just the id's the game uses for that room? like nookway and museum?
It's been a while, but I did mention this at the start. No, the ones that act normally and look exactly like normal gameplay areas likely are. What I did was make a savestate, loaded a map, loaded the savestate and increased ID by one, loaded a mp, loaded the savestate, and so on until I reach the end of the list of maps.
Man. The developers must've really liked mail, huh?
By the way are you planning on remaking this with the beta museum?
Well, they must've liked Phyllis cuz they gave ALL the villagers in the maps her dialog
@@aniyaturner6 I didn't even know that WAS HER dialogue. It just looked like general villager dialogue.
“Another blank slate”
The water: 👁️👄👁️
Beta map 3, the game suddenly crashing as Kapp'n slowly pushed the boat is so oddly disturbing, yet so cool/interesting at the same time
Fun Fact: You can access to beta map 1 by paying your biggest debt off and it has to be on Slot A1 and Slot A2 and that will take you to the beta testing map, if you tried to do it on Slot A4 and Slot A5 it will crash because the slots on beta testing map don't exists. This is for reference for hunter r..
Yep I was aware of that one, and I imagine creating a hacked town with the town hall in other acres coudl get you to some of the others.
MAP10 is probably a leftover from the n64 game, so its texture data probably didnt get converted.
beta map 6 feels like something out of a horror story, jesus christ. dont get me wrong, all of these feel uncanny for one reason or another but that one screws me up. it wouldnt even be so bad if the game just crashed when you tried to leave. but no. youre stuck there forever. aika village WISHES it could be this.
"aika village WISHES it could be this." How come?
12:46 OK! YOU ARE GREAT!
Yay all beta maps! I really want the original animal crossing and a gamecube
U could get an emulator
i recommend an emulator! if that’s not your thing and you have a wii with gamecube ports, you could always use that :) it’s cheaper and probably a lot easier than setting up a gamecube to a new tv
12:46 its that text string featured in tetra bits video
Yep! This is where it's actually used.
Redd took “I think I’ll be seeing you coming back again real soon.” To a literal level.
He didn't know what hit him.
Very interesting overall, though also the fact that you can push Pelly around as seen at 23:36 is getting to me
I wonder if some of these date back to the N64 version.
20:47, 21:28 both uses textures from the original n64 version.
Fun fact: the buggy names were actually originally in Japanese, and translate to Johnny B!
That fact sounds so vaguely familiar. I know I've heard that somewhere before.
@@SlyCooperReloadCodedit uses the hex code for the characters displayed that were originally in Japanese
I don’t think those are corrupted textures next to copper, I think it’s a design test. Maybe you could customize your gyroid in the beta?
You can do it in New Horizons.
Hi! Are you our former Animal Crossing wiki representative? I didn't know you had a RUclips channel!
-Wonderbud14
Nope! I've never held any position in any Animal Crossing community other than on-and-off fan.
@@SlyCooperReloadCoded Huh. I must be thinking of someone else with a similar username.
What if you saved in a beta map house?
I wonder why they left these in the main copy of the game (apart from the event ones and title)
The entire game is under 20 megabytes, that's why you can remove the disc from your GameCube during most of gameplay with no issues - it all fits into memory.

28:04 what's the scene that plays when your memory card is full?
WAIT DOES ROVERS PHONE HAVE 2 CAMERAS IN 2001 OR IS IT JUST THE DATED GRAPHICS.
The graphics, probably.
I want action replay so bad but I know absolutely NOTHING about these things
Wish we could've painted Gyriods. Woulda been nice
It's doable in New Horizons.
The crash at Beta Map 3 was weird
OK! YOU ARE GREAT!
@@teotimatarroza1678 I guess we never get to hear Kapp'n singing after all!
You didn't get Ankha as your island villager that feels man.
Is the title screen map on this video?
I think I mainly focused on unused ones or just the ones that had things in them and not just an empty field of grass. Unless that empty field of grass uses a different texture.
SlyCooperReloadCoded oof
all the times the game crashes are horrifying
Also seeing my own name in this video makes it like I am calling myself out in RL. Sense my name in RL is Daniel as well.
Well, it was at the time of making this video.

PURPLE SCREEN OF DEATH! 12:39
And we never hear Kapp'n singing. Just the first few opening bars, and then "BZZZZZZZZ".
12:39 they died
wow this game has some horrible development, I mean to load the entire town for the announcement cutscenes is ridiculous.
Not really, considering the entire game fits into the GameCube's RAM, letting you take the disc out during most of gameplay without any issues.
why this MF got the crazy taxi arrow on his head

These Aren't Beta Maps At All Lmao
Gotta watch the whole thing! Some aren't, most are.
What are you talking about you fucking clown 🤡 did you even watch the video or are you just brain dead
