"Super Donkey" (2nd Prototype Build) Showcase

This is recorded through real hardware using a sd2snes. These prototypes called "Super Donkey" came alongside the Yoshi's Island source code and tools from the 2020 gigaleak, showing an early prototype using a limbless Mario in aviator costume and a graphical style very similar to Yoshi's Island. Assets from this game can be found within the workspace files of Shigefumi Hino, director and designer of Yoshi's Island, and is referred to as "z-sword", where assets for a canned Zelda 2D sidescroller for the Super Famicom can also be found. This second prototype shows levels with more intention on Mario's ability to climb as well as interactable objects and enemies, as well as some effects and dynamic levels, and ends with a boss. I tried my best to play the entire level "as intended" without using the charged flying ability.
