Mario Galaxy beta-demo still hidden in the final game

Thanks to some hack-magic-stuff, Usernamehere on the X-Cult forum, has found the Mario Galaxy E3 2007 demo level hidden in the code of the final game. As he says in the topic: “There’s some other left overs in Galaxy, including Mario’s Sunshine model and a file titled demomario, for the most part it’s just Mario but with different fists.” It’s an interesting find and we wonder if there could still be some unknow areas hidden in there. Here’s a look at the beta-demo found in the code:
