Luigi Discovered In Sega Dreamcast Prototype

Nintendo’s famous Mario has a brother named Luigi and for some reason, the taller of the bros has been found in a prototype build of the Sega Dreamcast racing game Sega GT. Luigi was found in a prototype that’s part of a massive release of over 40o Xbox and Dreamcast prototypes and unreleased games.

This odd Luigi was discovered by video game preservationist CombyLaurent1 and then shared on Twitter. They found Luigi in a secret race inside the unreleased prototype. CombyLaurent1 told Kotaku that this build of the game was not intended for retails release and they theorize that Luigi is in here as a joke.

Beware, this is completely crazy!!!

Yesterday, CombyLaurent1 shared with The Hidden Palace website two Dreamcast prototypes as part of the site’s ongoing “Project Deluge.” This project looks to catalog, preserve, and released video game prototypes, early builds, canceled projects, and more. The team had previously released over 700 PS2 prototypes and unseen builds back in March 2021. Yesterday, the group released its latest Deluge dump containing 349 Xbox and 135 Dreamcast prototypes.
