Super Rub 'a' Dub

PlayStation 3

Super Rub 'a' Dub stars the yellow duck from technical demos known as Ducks demo for the PlayStation 3 originally used at E3 2005 and 2006. Using the motion-sensing SIXAXIS controller, the player tilts a bathtub filled with water to move a rubber duck around the tub. There are many pitfalls to avoid, such as jumping out of the tub and toy sharks which will try to eat the smaller ducks. Online leaderboards track users fastest times, and allow users to see the replays of those fastest times. The game has three levels: fun, tricky, and tough. Each of these levels has 20 tubs that one needs to beat to proceed to the next level.

In August 2008 the game received an update named 3.00. In the update, there are now 9 different ducks to unlock, monthly leaderboards and an online store.

Welcome to GameCube World!!

Nintendo GameCube

Welcome to GameCube World!! (also known by the informal name Peach's Castle) is a tech demo for Nintendo GameCube. In 2001, Nintendo sent various developers an interactive Tech Demo in order to show them the graphical capabilities of their new console as part of the Nintendo GameCube Software Development Kit. In this demo, the player controls a red arrow that can go through various places in Peach's Castle from Super Mario 64. In different rooms it shows different graphical effects, which includes the following: large textures, bumps and shadows, anti-aliasing, local lighting, projection textures, environment mapping, and maximum polygons.

The castle is referred to in the game as Peach Castel (castel is an old French word for castle).

Mario 128

Super Mario 128 is a code name which was reused for two different infamously high-profile development projects at Nintendo in the 1990s and 2000s. Originally intended as a sequel to Super Mario 64, the sequel was canceled and the impetus was reused in a GameCube technology demonstration. As debuted at Nintendo's Space World trade show in 2000, the demonstrated graphics and physics concepts were gradually incorporated into various games through the 2000s. This includes the rapid object generation in Pikmin, the sphere walking technology used in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and Super Mario Galaxy, and the physics of Metroid Prime.

Yoshi Demo

Game Boy Advance

Yoshi Demo is a tech demo that appeared to be a Game Boy Advance port of Yoshi's Story. It is also commonly regarded as vaporware, though it is unknown Nintendo ever had any intentions of releasing it as a full game.

New Super Mario Bros. Mii was an "experience" tech demo shown at E3 2011 for the Wii U. It is based on New Super Mario Bros. Wii and contains new levels, as well as the option for players to use their Miis. This demo was meant to demonstrate the "Off-TV Play" capability of the Wii U, allowing the player to continue playing a game on the Wii U GamePad without having to use a television screen. Players were able to play for up to ten minutes before the game would automatically reset. While the game was only exhibited to show gameplay experience using the controller of the Wii U, New Super Mario Bros. U is "based on" New Super Mario Bros. Mii.

Super Demo World: The Legend Continues

Super Nintendo Entertainment System

Super Demo World: The Legend Continues is a project put together with the goal of displaying the capabilities of the SMW Level Editor Lunar Magic.

Super Demo World, was first released in 2001 as a few short levels to show off custom blocks which had varying requirements for when they could be broken such as the typical only when big breakable bricks or bricks that could only be broken with a fireball. Since then, the project has gone on to be a complete hack of SWM spanning across and heavily altering all of its levels.

As this hack is designed with the explicit goal of showing off Lunar Magic, players will find a wide variety of challenges across Super Demo World‘s many meticulously crafted levels and will assuredly find themselves stretching out fiber of their SMW muscles along the way.

Each on of the castles in this hack come with a quirky blurb at the end once you defeat the boss, many of them referring to bizarre or somewhat dark scenarios where the Koopa’s were experimenting on the eggs or simply hording them for buffets.

Mario's Face

Mario's Face was a tech demo for the Nintendo DS. It had Mario's face in it, which could be squeezed in various ways, similar to the title screen of Super Mario 64, although the touch screen was used instead. Some ideas for moving Mario's face around have been removed from the real game. A Wario face was also available. It was reworked into the title screen of Super Mario 64 DS, albeit quite differently. The top screen uses graphics similar to Super Mario Bros. in Super Mario All-Stars.

Venetian Blinds

Atari 2600

As the name implies the Venetian Blinds demo isn't a game, but a demo that simulates a pair of Venetian blinds! The joystick can be used to raise and lower the blinds by pushing up or down. When the blinds are raised a nicely done sunset is visible out the window. The story behind the Venetian Blind demo is rather interesting.

It was not released publicly until 2003, as part of Activision Anthology for Windows, macOS, and Game Boy Advance. It was later released in 2010 through the Game Room retrogaming service for Windows, Xbox 360, and Windows Phone 7.

As most people know, Activision was founded by several ex-Atari employees who had left due to Atari's policies on programmer recognition (or the lack thereof). One of these employees was Bob Whitehead, creator of the "Venetian Blinds" technique, which was first used in Atari's Video Chess to display eight objects in a row instead of the normal six. Even though Activision had never used the Venetian Blinds technique in any of their games, that didn't stop Atari from threatening to sue Activision for "stealing" the technique along with other various proprietary information. Since Activision knew that they hadn't stolen anything from Atari, they decided to play a little joke on Atari. According to David Crane, when the Atari's lawyers questioned them about the "stolen" Venetian Blinds technique David showed them this demo and said "Is this what you guys are referring to?". Apparently Atari wasn’t in a laughing mood, and they went through with the lawsuit. In the end Atari ended up losing the case and Activision went on to become the most successful of the 2600 third party companies.

Although Activision never made a game out of this demo it didn't go completely to waste. The sunset was later used in the background of Barnstorming.

Koopa Troopa Forest

Koopa Troopa Forest is an unreleased Mario game that was made to showcase how the pointer controls for the Wii would work. The game's existence was unknown until July 2021, when documents about the development of the Wii were leaked as a part of the Gigaleaks.

Fighting

Ultra Vortex

Atari Lynx

Fostiator

Fostiator is one of several sample games that demonstrate the capabilities of DIV Games Studio development environment. It is a simple versus fighting game with four characters and three stages, using high-resolution pre-rendered sprites for characters and scenery objects. It is possible to play against the AI with three difficulty levels, against another player on a single keyboard, or watch two AI opponents fight each other.

There is no plot but the DIV Games Studio user manual gives short (and rather silly) descriptions of each character: Alien, an animated skeleton of an extraterrestrial warrior with sharp claws; Bishop, a bionic fighter; Ripley, the Earth's best gymnast; and Nostromo, an immortal warrior armed with an axe. The character's names are obvious references to the 1979 film Alien and its sequel Aliens, but the game has otherwise no relation to this franchise.

Fostiator was available as a free download from the official DIV Games Studio website. The entire source code of the game was also included with a copy of the DIV Games Studio suite.
