BigTasteThis is early footage of Mario 64 seen on ABC (Asahi Broadcasting Corporation) in an interview with the late Hiroshi Yamauchi, former president of Nintendo and predecessor to Satoru Iwata.
The footage seen here is what Spring96 is aiming to recreate.
Note the difference in the instruments for the Wing Cap theme, the presence of the "Ya-hoo!" sound effect, the Goomba texture, the method of defeating Boos, and layout of Big Boo's Haunt.

The Three Great Super Saiyans," which included, for the first time, a completely native 4K version of the first opening, "CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LA." This reel also included a music/SFX-only track, which included a full TV size instrumental.
I've taken the liberty of updating my original TV Size edit of Hironobu Kageyama's English version of the song with the provided instrumental and syncing it to the 4K footage.

However, Act 1 was heavily trimmed down, so I tried to bring it closer to how the full song will sound, using the Nintendo Direct trailer and Gamescom footage as reference.

Photo of SegaSonic plush by me.J.League Pro Striker (Prototype) OST - Title ScreenBigTaste2023-08-23 | The title screen music from the Sega Shinsaku Soft build of J.League Pro Striker.
Rather than the 16-bit version of the official J.League song "Born to Win," this build uses the song "Blue Spheres" from Sonic the Hedgehog 3. Interestingly, this game predates Sonic 3 by over a year. However, considering this song's appearance in SegaSonic Bros. a year prior, it is likely it was made as a stock song for Sega developers to use. Tomonori Sawada and Sachio Ogawa are also composers for Pro Striker as well as Sonic 3.
This song was not ripped from an actual ROM, rather it was done by porting the November 3rd prototype of Sonic 3's version of the song to Pro Striker's sound driver. No actual ROM has been discovered at the time of writing.Sonic the Hedgehog - Special Stage (Arrangement)BigTaste2023-07-24 | Arrangement of the Special Stage theme from Sonic 1 using synthesizers of the era.

HUD Graph Linear - Rado1 Original composition by SEGAUnknown from M.E. (Hybrid Mix feat. BigTaste) - Sonic Adventure 2BigTaste2023-02-26 | Sonic Adventure 2's version of Unknown from M.E., Knuckles's theme song, with the rap vocals of the version from the first Sonic Adventure game, performed by Dred Foxx. Made this because Hunnid-P is a bad person and while I do enjoy the instrumental from the SA2 version, I absolutely hate the lyrics.
Lyrics: (Okay)
Here I come, rougher than the rest of them The best of them, tougher than leather You can call me Knuckles, unlike Sonic I don't chuckle I'd rather flex my muscles I'm hard as nails, it ain't hard to tell I break 'em down whether they're solid or frail Unlike the rest I'm independent since my first breath First test, feel the right, than the worst's left
Born on an island in the heavens The blood of my ancestors flows inside me My duty is to save the flower From evil deterioration Yeah
I will be the one to set your heart free, true Cleanse yourself of them evil spirits that's in you
Streaking lights, loud sounds, and instinct, Are the elements that keep me going I am fighting my own mission Nothing's gonna, stand in my way, no
Here I come, rougher than the rest of them The best of them, tougher than leather You can call me Knuckles, unlike Sonic I don't chuckle I'd rather flex my muscles I'm hard as nails, it ain't hard to tell I break 'em down whether they're solid or frail Unlike the rest I'm independent since my first breath First test, feel the right, than the worst's left
Won't be frightened, I'll stand up to all the pain and turmoil Just believe in myself, won't rely on others I get this power to wipe out the havoc and anarchy This is my planet, gonna fight for my destiny
Here I come, rougher than the rest of them The best of them, tougher than leather You can call me Knuckles, unlike Sonic I don't chuckle I'd rather flex my muscles
I will be the one to set your heart free, true Cleanse yourself of evil spirits that got in you
I have no such things as weak spots Don't approve of him but gotta trust him This alliance has a purpose This partnership is only temporary, oh
Won't be frightened, I'll stand up to all the pain and turmoil Just believe in myself, won't rely on others Freedom will be waiting when serenity is restored This is my planet, I shall not surrender
I'm the new porcupine on the block with the buff chest Out in the wilderness with the ruggedness Knock, knock, it's Knuckles, the bloat thrower Independent flower, Magical Emerald holder I'll give you the coldest shoulder My spikes go through boulders, that's why I stay a loner I was born by myself, I don't need a posse I get it on by myself, adversaries get shelved
(Uh) Won't be frightened, I'll stand up to all the pain and turmoil Just believe in myself, won't rely on others I get this power to wipe out the havoc and anarchy This is my planet, gonna fight, ah Won't be frightened, I'll stand up to all the pain and turmoil Just believe in myself, won't rely on others Freedom will be waiting when serenity is restored This is my planet, I shall not surrender
Here I come, rougher than the rest of them The best of them, tougher than leather You can call me Knuckles, unlike Sonic I don't chuckle I'd rather flex my muscles I'm hard as nails, it ain't hard to tell I break 'em down whether they're solid or frail Unlike the rest I'm independent since my first breath First test, feel the right, than the worst's left

There might be a slight amount of noise in the background due to this being recorded off of a cassette tape.
Inspired by the Rockman 2 demo tracks, the 1991 Sonic the Hedgehog commercial track by Masato Nakamura, and a friend of mine's own DX7 Green Hill arrangement.

all i had to do was change ekans's name to "arbo" and cubone's name to "orphon" as well as other text-related changes, edit the battle HUD, and change the copyright text. i think i just lost interest in this hack and stopped caring about it. plus the fact that i hated working with assembly.that one shindou hack i did onceBigTaste2021-01-06 | i completely forgot about this hack.
it has english text (with some bugs), the BLJ, removed mario portamentos, and rumble support
