with the slight issue that there's nothing resembling a Mario character on screen, with the exception of that pill bug thing in the second "level" which did make it into the final game in a similar form.
So, what is it, then? Well, it looks kinda like Yoshi's Island. (Note that the weird chopped up Mario 64 music is being played over the video it wasn't part of the game) The exquisitely cultured among you may know that Donkey Kong Country was called "Super Donkey Kong" in Japan. And also, apparently, this thing called "Super Donkey". One of the larger troves of info discovered is a ton of stuff shedding light on the development history of Yoshi's Island. There's an early Star Fox 2, terrifying scrapped Yoshi designs, Nintendo devs saying "fuck", and a sprite of Luigi flipping the bird. So there was just a massive leak of game source codes and prototypes and all sorts of cool stuff, mainly but apparently not exclusively Nintendo ( Here's a prototype of Super Castlevania IV!).
This is very much an emerging and developing story, so forgive how scattered and uncertain it all is.
