These objects cannot be collected, however. You can ground pound to knock these objects down.

There are objects hanging from a few trees, as well as a few stars hanging from a ceiling.

This level also features three enemies: a weird mushroom that chases after you, a dog that chases after you, and an early version of the Melon Bug from Yoshi's Island which acts the same (curls up into a ball and rolls into you).

There's a friendly monkey that roams around.

There's a cannon object you can pick up, though its missiles can only defeat a select few enemies.

No objects seem movable in this way in these builds.

The character will do a push animation when moving against solid walls after about a half a second.

Crawling through 1-tile gaps is possible by holding Down, then moving towards the gap.

You cannot climb some objects, such as stone surfaces and the houses. Pressing Right or Left while climbing makes the character swing around to the other side of green vine/trees and the thinner grey tree trunks.

The character can climb by pressing Up while against sides of tree trunks.

It is hard to tell what these are, but when observed in a tilemap viewer on BG layer 2, these appear to be chains.

There are also platforms that you can only grab onto and hang from, but cannot walk on.

You can grab onto and hang from various jump-through platforms and also drop through them.

You can stun enemies by jumping on them.

Colliding with an enemy leads to the player getting knocked back and stunned without taking any visible damage.

Start: Temporarily pause for 1.5 seconds then toggle player collision.

B (if fully charged): Fly around the area.

B (if not fully charged): Jump higher (jump height depends on the meter).

Y: Throw held object hold button to charge up meter.

Down + B: Drop through jump-through platforms.

Hold Up or Down while hanging to climb up/drop down.

Doing this any further after the initial pause will corrupt the level palette more and more, until coming back to the normal level palette after pausing roughly 34 times. Every odd pause returns the collision, and every even pause revokes it.

Pressing Start will make the level palette turn sepia, as well as cause the player to lose any collision with the level geometry whatsoever.

While flying, you ignore all kinds of level collision.

If you fly offscreen while holding an object, the object itself gets deleted while you're still in a holding position.

This would normally not be too notable were it not for the fact that versions of these graphics were used for the same move in the much later (and decidedly more well-known) Super Mario Maker series.

Performing a ground pound produces smoke clouds with faces, likely meant to be a secondary attack.

Maybe even add the SMB1 and SMW styles' graphics to be more thorough.

Rip the cloud graphics for an additional, more focused comparison.

Super Donkey has this element, and its available ROMs were found among the Yoshi's Island source code further, a distinctly Donkey Kong-like enemy is present among the latter's internal assets and goes unused in the final game. Developer interviews for Yoshi's Island mention that the first two years of development were spent experimenting with ideas, in which one did stick - the idea of a game where even though the player can be hit by enemies the player doesn't die from doing so. While it is not clear whether development continued past this point, various elements of Super Donkey would eventually be used in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, and it's believed that Yoshi's Island is what ultimately became of this project. File dates for the related material suggest that the available ROMs were built sometime in 1991 or 1992. The name, the ROM headers (which refer to the game as 'SUPER MARIOWORLD'), some unused sprites within the ROMs, and related material found elsewhere in the asset leak suggest that this was a Donkey Kong-related project with the aviator, Link, and Mario being considered for protagonist roles (notably, DK had also appeared in Sky Skipper as an enemy). Neither build has any sounds or music, and the onscreen timer is non-functional in both. The game seems to have remained completely unknown until two builds were found as part of the July 2020 Nintendo leaks (in other.7z/SFC/ソースデータ/ヨッシーアイランド/ツール/donkey_test as super_donkey_1.bin and super_donkey_2.bin, respectively this page covers the latter build). Super Donkey is an unreleased platformer starring an unnamed proto- Rayman-like aviator/explorer who resembles the main character of Nintendo's earlier game Sky Skipper. This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion.Īre you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?
