Ultra Rare Super Smash Bros. Japanese Store Kiosk Demo!

 Today we have something incredibly special and unsightly. This is an extremely rare Gamecube Demo Disc (Dairantou Smash Brothers DX Jitsuen-you Demo (Interactive Multi-Game Demo Disc, November 2001 Japan) that was intended for stores in Japan to display Super Smash Bros. Melee. There are a few bonuses and promotional videos for then upcoming Gamecube software. There is a playable Pikmin demo and two commercials for Pikmin. There are two commercials for Super Smash Bros. Melee, a 32 trophy gallery, a Four stage adventure mode, a basic battle royale which is a free for all smashfest with only original characters and stages though all of the music and models are present on the disc.

My Super Smash Bros Melee store kiosk demo came scratch free (it only has minimal scratches because I wasn't careful when inserting it into the Gamecube during the video. Ugh, this bothers me maybe more than it should.

There are 2 commercials For Melee, Pikmin and demos for both games. A Gamecube promo video as well. Feels so weird playing this in 2018. I remember getting Smash the first day at #Blockbuster for the holidays.





 
                                                           Part 1: Firing up the disc!

 

Part 2: Battle Royale

  

                         Part 3: The actual disk (Part 1 actually shows a clear in-focus picture)

Trivia:

-The commercials were actually shown on Television broadcasts in Japan for both Pikmin and Melee.

-The are noticeable differences between the demo and retail versions of Pikmin.

-All of the Super Smash Bros. Melee songs are on the disc.

-There demo packaging is the same as the Japanese retail version.

-The Demo select menu reuses the US Gamecube October 2001, January 2002 and March 2002 Interactive Mult-Game Demo Disc versions as well as the Dairantuo DX Gold Movie Disk (all of which I also own).

Unfortunately I cannot afford professional video equipment for good quality recording.
