Wario Land 4's beta music sounds interesting...

[CM30]

It's only an early version of the map theme, but it sure does sound a bit more upbeat than normal, right?



I mean, compare it to the final version:



Yeah, big change in tone here. Still, I must say I prefer the final game's song. Less empty, and the menacing theme honestly fits a lot better than the Mario esque beta version.

Still, your thoughts on this early song?

Where did you find that? Also, this is actually the first time I hear the current theme with headphones, sounds much cooler.

The Cutting Room Floor. It's a wiki with lots of info on beta games:

Some interesting things there include this room:

Which I actually found myself by accident (before the site put it up a few years later). I was playing around with AR codes and walking through walls, and realised the warp to it still existed in Palm Tree Paradise.

I also like the 'Nintendo News' joke:

and other stuff. The coolest one though, is this beta sprite from Mario Wiki:

Unsused? Not exactly. It's partially in here:


It also got used in Wario Ware Inc.
It was in the epilogue of Kat & Ana.

That's pretty interesting. Guess the team thought using it in WarioWare and part of another Wario Land 4 song worked better than having it be on its own as a map theme.
