Peach’s Castle [GameCube - Tech Demo]

In 2002 Nintendo sent various developers a GameCube interactive tech demo in order to show them the graphical capabilities of their new console. In this tech demo you can move an arrow through Peach’s Casle and in every room you can see a different graphic effect. It was never released to the public and could have been lost forever, but luckily sometime ago the Peach’s Castle Tech Demo was leaked online and it can now be preserved.
Update: it seems that this demo was used in the 5-22-01 GameCube SDK. The official Nintendo description says: “There are eight rooms (stages) available for introducing various features and effects. In addition, there are two demo modes available for giving effective demos: normal demo mode and auto demo mode. In normal demo mode, users move from room to room using an arrow, and each feature is introduced. In auto demo mode, the camera moves automatically from room to room and each feature of each room is introduced. The total time required for all rooms is 4 minutes 30 seconds.”
Thanks to Jay for the english corrections!

Well, I don’t think it was meant to be a literal representation of the castle (though, does it really matter, lol?) mainly because they were simply aiming to show off their neat new effects.

Is there any more Gamecube prototypes, like Super Mario Strikers Beta or something? I guess I’ll draw Tsukino Usagi from Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon if I insist.

The third room reminds me of Ricco Harbor.

It was just a tech demo, a real time tour in which you can see the castle and the GameCube graphic effect, but there was no “gameplay” in it
