Not sure if it's beta, but I don't recognize this structure next to the Crane.

And for the first time since December. Sheesh. Well, the first part was with Toadsworth, and the second part with Marty, so now, let's just continue to see what's happened to Mario!
If there was one thing Mario liked about being imprisoned, it was the sleep. Sleep came easy to him in a horrible place like this, believe it or not, because his jail cell was pitch black. Sleep was an escape, an escape to wild lands and exciting events, and old memories. Every night Mario slept, he dreamed of Peach, Luigi, Toad, and all of his other friends.
Mario hated sleep too. Because every morning, he was forcibly woken up with a bucket of ice cold water splashed on his face. Like right that second, for one instance.
Mario gasped for air and flew himself of the stone floor, and stumbled over to the closest wall. As soon as he remembered where he was and fully woke up, he turned around to see a Prison Guard, smirking, holding a now empty bucket. Mario couldn't exactly tell what species the guard was. He was no pianta, nor noki, nor tanooki, not even human.
"Wakie wakie." The guard muttered in a baby-ish and laughed cruelly at his own little joke. Mario sighed and, at gunpoint from the guard, trudged out of his cell in shackles and a prison jumpsuit.
-
So, for the past four days, Mario was held in the chambers of President Chuck Ster, which apparently was also a prison. He wasn't the only inmate either. Mario walked into the prison cafeteria, where he found himself facing a good twenty or thirty other prisoners, and a lot of guards. There were at least several of them on ground level, but there were at least twice that many above on a high-above catwalk.
Over the past few days, Mario had decided to make a game of how many expressions he could find on the inmates.
Sadness: 13 Resentment: 5 Fear: 9 Determination: 3 Glee: 1
Mario was genuinely surprised that every day, one inmate always smiled. But looking closer at the inmate, the smile was less happiness and joy and moreso psychotic, as if saying "Im'ma rip all of your limbs off!" So Mario avoided him, like every other inmate who had the will strong enough to live. But not all of them did.
Mario grabbed a tray full of dried fruit and looked around, and found himself face to face with two Nokis who had befriended him. They were twins, Reynold and Glenn. And they all shared a secret plan. He walked over and sat down next to them. They were the only people sitting at the table.
"Is it time yet?" Mario asked in a hushed voice. Reynold looked around, scanning the room. Being the brains of the trio, he calculated whether or not they had a decent chance of performing the plan correctly, and surviving long enough to escape afterward.
"I think so." Reynold answered, and Glenn nodded. They had been planning their idea long before Mario had even arrived to the inner chambers.
Mario, well aware of what they were about to do, nodded. He picked up his tray of dried up, leftover fruit and walked over to the only guard that was next to the entrance. The guard, just a little taller than Mario, looked down at the plumber.
"Whaddya you want?" He scowled.
Mario slyly looked up at the guard, distracting him. "Hey, guess what?" The guard regarded Mario suspiciously.
"...What?"
"Chicken butt." SLAM! Mario brought up the tray at lightning speed and slammed it across the guard's face. He was hit with such force that the guard spun around a few times before falling to the ground unconcsious. Mario, as fast as he had knocked him out, fell to the ground and searched the guard's pockets before finding a collection of keys. Mario sprinted to the large entrance door and opened it, all before any guards could reach him.
Glenn stood up on a table and shouted, "PRISON BREAK!"
And then chaos took over. Mario, Glenn, and Reynold all ran out the door into the hallways, with many other escaping prisoners and guards on their way. Many other prisoners and the guards all ran down the labyrinth of hallways, but Mario and the two Nokis stopped at the door to an empty room and hid inside before the others caught up.
The three turned and found that they were not actually in a room, but instead in an old stairwell. A dim red light tinted everything in the room. They, one by one, raced down the stairwell and opened the only door at the bottom of the stairs. At first it wouldn't budge, but with the combined strength of the three of them, the door pulled backwards and opened.
Mario, Glenn, and Reynold all looked at what lay ahead of them. Mario, not even fully realizing he had opened his mouth, answered the question of where they were.
"The Maze of Death."

The other remade scene I posted on FF.net/
"Get in there, you!" The Piantian soldier shoved Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Toad into a small, dark prison cell. They were in some sort of underground cavern, with cables running along the floors and walls everywhere and dim, flickering lights hanging from the ceilings.
Mario groaned and rubbed his cheek. "W-where are we?" He asked cautiously. The soldier ignored him and slammed the cell door shut. Now, it was practically pitch black, besides the ever-so-flickering light in the corner of the cell.
None of this made sense to any of them. They were under government arrest, but why? What had they done?
"I wanna go hooooome..." Luigi moaned as he curled up on the floor, but everybody else mostly just ignored him.
"What do we do now?" Peach asked, and Mario shrugged in reply.
"Just wait for something, I guess?" Mario suggested. Everybody else took this in painful silence, and they all curled up on the floor. They all knew nothing would happen.
But 3 hours later, something did happen.
"Hey!" A voice shrieked in the darkness of the room as Mario was smacked across the face with the top of some sort of gun. Mario opened his eyes, and saw two very angry soldiers looking straight down at him.
"May I help you?" Mario asked, though he figured it wasn't good to talk back to people like this. The two soldiers grabbed the plumber's soldiers and forcefully hoisted him up to his feet.
"Come on, tubby. Your friends are waiting." A soldier pointed past the open door and into a long hallway, where Mario caught a glimpse of the others being pushed along the hallway.
"Hey! What are you doing?" Mario asked, almost shouting it.
For the first time, Mario actually got in answer.
"You and all your friends will be held in a court of Government Law. Nobody will be there to help you. Now move along!"
Mario was amazed at the room when he was led into it. It was another room made of rock, but it was larger and had brilliant rays of light coming through small openings towards the top of the walls. Knowing better than to say or ask something stupid, he simply sat down next to his friends. Peach gave Mario a quick look full of fear from the corner of her eye, but Mario just tried to focus and look ahead.
Military court, or whatever they had said it was offically named, looked a whole let wierder then any court case Mario has seen on TV, on shows like "Judge Shroomy". There was no jury, no defense, no lawyer for them, just the prosecution. Mario, Peach, Luigi, and Toad all had a bad feeling about this.
They must've waited for a half-hour or so when three old, powerful-looking piantas walked in, wearing cloaks to conceal their whole bodies, face included. Everyone was forced to stand up and bow at the appearance of these piantas, until one in a dark red cloak said "Dismissed." Everybody sat down, as well as the three piantas at three golden chairs, possibly... thrones?
None of this made any sense to Mario. The arrest, the secret underground military base, or the court. But none of this compared to what would happen next.
The three piantas whispered to each other, and for a bit, they glared directly at Mario, and then continued. Mario could not hear all of what they were saying, but what he heard sent excruciating rage through his veins.
"The One in Red will cause the most trouble of all, says the President. He fears the One in Red will lead the new rebellion." One whispered.
The other two nodded their heads and looked down upon the four.
"Now wait just a minute!" Mario immediately jumped up and slammed his fist on the table, startling Luigi, who had begun to doze off. "What do you mean, rebellion? Why me? WHO'S THE PRESIDENT!" Mario yelled before several rushing soldiers grabbed him and handcuffed him.
The three piantas looked dissapointed, as if he had failed some sort of test, and now all of the others had failed as well.
After a short silence, a Pianta in a blue cloak stood up and cleared his throat. Mario had not been carried out of the room, but was surrounded by soldiers holding guns and tasers.
"We three Elder Piantas... find these four guilty. They will each be executed tomorrow at 0900 hours, by beheading. Is that clear?"
The soldiers may have agreed, but this did was not clear to Mario or the others. They each tried to get up and yell something, but they were all hushed.
"What do you mean guilty? Of what?"
"What do you mean Mario will cause a rebellion?"
"What the heck does 0900 hours mean?"
"Beheading? Ohhhh..."
Mario heard a thud and figured Luigi had fainted. Moments later, the four of them were grouped together and were led to their cell. Peach carried the unconscious Luigi, and gave Mario another look of worry. This time, he returned it, and attemped to put a caring hand on her shoulder, something that would say it would be alright.
"No touching!" A soldier behind them ordered.
Peach, Luigi, and Toad sat down ont he cold, damp floor of their cell as Mario banged his fist against the large metal door.
"OPEN UP!" Mario shouted repeatedly, but nothing.
"It's probably soundproof." Toad threw out, helpfully. Mario sighed and sat down with the others. It was hopeless, they were all doomed to die. That's when Luigi's head perked up.
"Hey... do you hear that?" Luigi asked. Everybody went silent and listened hard.
"I do hear it!" Toad exclaimed. "But what is it?"
"Sounds like... a drill?" Peach was puzzled. Suddenly, a hole appeared at the corner of the cell, and a large cloud of dirt and dust exploded out of the hole. Mario and the others coughed and rubbed their eyes, and looked at the hole, now clear of the cloud of dirt.
"What is that?" Luigi asked.
"Looks like a tunnel." Mario said. "But why-?"
"MARIO!" A Noki's head immediately popped out of the hole, holding a drill-like contraption. Everybody jumped back in surprise. There was confusion for a second, until Mario came to a realization.
"Wait a minute- you're the Grandson of the Noki Elder!" Mario recognized him. The Grandson gave a quick smile, but returned to his serious face. "Listen, we have very little time to get out of here, and I have none to explain, but you guys have to come with me! Quick!"
They considered this for a moment, but knew getting led to another secret location was better than getting beheaded. They began to climb down into the tunnel when the sirens went off.
"Go, go, GOOO!" The Grandson yelled and the four ran off into the direction of the tunnel. He watched them dissappear into the tunnel's darkness, and turned around. The metal door slammed open as solders rushed toward him.
The Noki Grandson did nothing but threw a grenade towards the incoming soldiers. They reacted too late, and the Grandson disappeared down the hole as a rumbling explosion occured. He stopped for a minute, and set down a silver suitcase-like object with a countdown of 10 seconds on it. A bomb.
"That'll keep them." He muttered to himself as he ran down the tunnel, trying to catch up with the others.
The bomb went off.

Don't like to post more than once or twice in a row, but when you're the admin and the only active member, what are you gonna do?
Anyway:
This one really bugs me, just because of the fact that it's there but it serves no purpose. I think it could be a remnant of something beta, just because, I mean look at it, it could've been a great place to hide a secret or something.
And no, you can't get out. The only way is to exit the level or kill yourself.

Now that I cancelled the Sunshine LP stuff, I suppose I should get back to the whole Darkness Shines business, huh? Fanfiction.net/ is a bust, so it's back to here for all the stuff I write. Haven't written anything new in a while, so while I'm busy rereading all the old stuff I wrote, to catch up, I'll upload the remade chapters (or I guess scenes, since this thing is more so intended to be like a movie than a book/story) that I uploaded on FF back in- what? November?
Mushroom Kingdom
"And did you see me?" Luigi yelled to Mario, Peach, and Toad, while they crossing a grassy, mushroom-filled meadow. "I was all like BANG! BOOM! And Bowser's all like, Noooooo! And that's how I was able to distract and defeat Bowser while you guys saved the princess!"
"Luigi," Mario rolled his eyes. "You passed out the moment you saw Bowser up close." The others snickered at this.
Luigi scoffed. "I like my take better. And I'm sure Princess Daisy will too." Mario rolled his eyes again.
"I can't wait to get back to my castle." Princess Peach sighed. "It's so nice, so relaxing, so cozy." She stopped and turned to Mario. "Have I thanked you yet?"
"Only a million times, Princess!" Mario smiled, and Toad laughed behind them. It was nice to have Peach around them. She was so nice!
"Almost to the castle, guys!" Toad yelled. "I see it over the hills!"
"Finally, some rest and relaxa-" Mario started, but suddenly his phone went off. "Hello?" He asked.
"MARIO!" A voice screamed on the other end. It was Toadsworth. "Mario, you have to go to Isle Delfino now! Something's up. I haven't heard from their senate for a whole month now! I think something's up!"
"Really? Are you sure?" Mario asked.
"Yes. Take the Princess with you too. The farther away she gets from the Kingdom, the better. You know that Bowser, never giving up."
"Now, just a second. I don't think-" Mario started, but Toadsworth had hung up. Mario sighed, and turned to the others. "C'mon, guys. We need to head off to Isle Delfino. Toadsworth things something's up." They ran to the airstrip, where the Princess's Pink Jet was.
"So, what's going on?" Princess Peach asked.
"I dunno. Toadsworth says contact with Isle Delfino has been cut off for a month, so he just wants us to investigate." Mario replied, buckling himself in.
A voice went off on the jet's loudspeaker. "This is your captain speaking. We'd like to remind you that... blah blah blah..." There actually wasn't a captain, it was an automated voice. The entire jet actually ran on Auto-Pilot.
Nearby, Luigi began to fall asleep next to Toad, who already was asleep.
"I wonder if something is wrong with Isle Delfino," Peach contemplated. "We haven't gotten any food or grain imported from them for a long time."
Mario shrugged, and tipped his hat over his eyes, indicating he would doze off. Peach sighed and looked out the window at the Mushroom Kingdom's sunny skies. She didn't know that there would be no sunny skies at the Island, nor might there ever be again. Five minutes later, the jet took off and soared into the skies.
Peach decided to take a nap too, and rested her head on Mario's shoulder. Despite being asleep, a trace of a smile was imprinted on the plumber's face.
Everyone woke with a start as the plane rumbled through a spot of turbulence, less than 300 miles away from the island. Mario sighed, and got a glimpse of the outside. It was completely dark and cloudy above, rain starting to sprinkle down, until it turned into a full-fledged rainstorm. Was that hail? From that high, Mario couldn't tell.
"Mama Mia..." Luigi moaned in his seat.
"You okay?" Mario asked.
Luigi nodded his head. "Yeah, just a bad nightmare. All this talk of something bad on Isle Delfino got into my head and made it was than ever."
Peach looked concerned. "Do you remember any of it?"
"Nope. Well, something about a giant beast, or maybe there was more of them. They attacked everyone- including us." Luigi said, then his eyes widened. "Oh yeah, I didn't mention, we were there."
"Well, we're here now." Mario pointed out the window, the Delfino Airstrip close now.
"I'm so tired of sitting." Toad groaned, and stretched his limbs. Luigi continued to tell about his dream, although nobody really listened.
"Oh yeah, and I was flying too..."
Delfino Airstrip
Finally, the plane touched the ground and came to a slow stop. The automated voice on the loudspeaker started up, telling that it was time to unbuckle their seatbelts, and "Thanks for flying Mushroom Airlines!"
Mario opened the door, and they walked out onto the wet cement of the airstrip.
Peach frowned uneasily. "Where is everyone?"
Mario shrugged.
"It was raining pretty hard a few minutes ago. Perhaps they went inside." Toad suggested. They all agreed with this and walked over to the tower.
"Hello?" Mario looked inside, but it was empty. "Nobody." Mario confirmed to the others. "Maybe we-"
"HALT!" A booming voice exclaimed behind them. Everyone jumped a little and looked behind them. A tall, large pianta in some sort of formal suit and sunglasses approached. Mario ran up to them.
"Oh thank goombas you're here, there's nobody-" Mario started, but the Pianta interrupted him by slapping him to the ground.
"MARIO!" Peach yelled in horror as Luigi and Toad ran to his defense, but the Pianta had not come alone. Three more Piantas in black suits, stopped them and put the three of them in handcuffs. Peach watched in shock until she heard a click and discovered another Piuanta behind her had snuck up and got her as well.
"What's going on here?" Mario yelled out loud.
The largest Pianta, the one that had slapped him, answered: "You are all under government arrest. Please come with us."

 (Picture isn't mine; Taken from a Google Search) Well, tonight I went to a store selling lots of discount books, movies, video games, and other cool stuff. While I was there, I was able to obtain a guide on Super Mario Sunshine that was made back in 2002. Rarely are game guides completely accurate, as I believe some can have areas that are so off from the normal game that I have a belief that the people who are playing the game are not actually playing the final version, and therefore the guide may contain beta information. TL;DR, I'm going to be going through the guide and post any thing noteworthy or interesting I find.

Found a site with a thread based entirely on Super Mario Sunshine cheats/hacks. board.gscentral.org/retro-hacking/17697.htmHaven't gone through the entire the thread yet myself (only 42 posts in; 200+ posts in thread and counting) but maybe, just maybe, somebody here will find a use for these (cause it sure won't be me). EDIT (IMPORTANT): From what I've read, most of this stuff, if not all of it, is for the PAL version. I think. Meanwhile, Summer Break begins for me in only a few weeks, so hopefully I'll be more active then and be able to search the game for more goodies of sorts.

Today, I give you guys a new discovery not made by me, but by a YouTube user by the name of Turnabout2009. Using a code, he managed to get from the Delfino Airstrip level all the way to the Plaza (not the actual level, but it's model far in the background of the airstrip). When he was there, he discovered a weird tile that doesn't match anything else in the game, and is placed in some random spot.
Fortunately, he was kind enough to allow me to post the video here for you all to see.
So what do you guys think of it? It looks like an easter egg of sorts to me, but who knows?

Well, guess what guys. Did some more testing recently. Debunked, untrue sadly.
TBH, it was always suspicious to me anyway.
