Unfinished beta builds and earlier versions of released retail games are sometimes found in the oddest of places, be it in a stored box in a garage sale, an online reseller who thinks is just a normal game (or doesn't even know it's a game), and this time, a new beta build of a rather infamous Mario game has made its way into a goodwill store.
YouTube user Game Pak Rat posted a video two weeks ago about a recent discovery he found in a local goodwill store, where they sell stuff from big media bins, which tend to be DVDs most of the time, but there's Blu Rays and videogames in some luck cases, and in this event, the media bin held a rather priceless item inside.
With the recent finding, Game Pak Rat has released a brand new video showcasing some of the key differences between the retail version and the newly discovered beta version, with some things like the intro consisting of only voice lines (without music or echo effects), voice lines mentioning 8 hotels in the beta instead of 7 from the retail version, title screen graphics and options, and a voiceover related to the game's rules and gameplay mechanics in the Help section.
Game Pak Rat will continue uploading new videos comparing the retail and beta versions of Hotel Mario to find what other differences are hidden in this discovered beta, so those interested can follow his YouTube channel for more comparisons.
