v0.9
Released on May 29, 2023 (Unofficial). Known as the "abandoned" version. This is the last version endorsed by B3313's lead developer ChrisRLillo.


 * Added RTC system. Now the game checks your system time and changes some areas depending on the time.
 * Over 200 areas.
 * Added third jumpscare: Mutant Toad.
 * Added end levels after Eternal Fort (beta)/Eternal Fort: Monochrome Castle Grounds, Monochrome Lobby, World of Dreams, Star Road, Dream Tower, Peach's Secret Slide (beta), Cave Dungeon, Nightmare Tower, and Corrupted Challenge, but currently they can only be reached using exploits and cheats.
 * When entering certain levels, the HUD may change, usually switching between 4 main HUDs, but some levels have variations of the 4. More will be added soon.


 * Now the Yellow Switch can be pressed in Holy Yellow Switch Palace. This causes texture glitches as well as a random selection dialog.
 * Updated Toad model. Now they are gloomy and with lowered hands.
 * Over 300 stars. Unfortunately, only 178 can be collected due to the common ID of the stars.
 * Added Red Stars that unlock some moves and entrances to Toad's Lobby and Crescent Castle, Yoshi also spawns (all of which are not initially available), but due to the incompleteness of this version, only 7 real Red Stars can be found (all the rest are just repainted ordinary stars).
 * Added a new object: Core. When approaching it, the textures nearby begin to glitch and if the player enters the Core in any way, the game usually crashes (except for unique cases, for example, the light version of AI Headquarters).
 * Added a new phenomenon: Peach's Ghost.
 * Added Personalization Values. It is secretly activated by a number of factors (how many players have died, how many stars his have collected, etc.). Upon activation, the following things appear among other things:
 * Coin Discoloration: These usually appear in place of normal coins and have different effects depending on their color.
 * Enemy Discoloration: Usually replace normal enemies and have different abilities based on their color.
 * Added Green Star. Its function and purpose are still unknown.
 * Removed areas: Big Bob-omb's Fortress, Whomp's Fortress (beta), Tall, Tall Mountain, Empty Flooded Hallway and Infernal Tower.
 * The Snow Tunnels are back with a slightly modified look.
 * Added Grand Star rotation animation in Eternal Fort/Eternal Fort (beta) (before that it was just a rotating 2D texture).
 * New soundtracks and arrangements.
 * Added Ultimate ? Block. It gives 3 caps at once and only appears once in Goomboss Battle (if all caps have been unlocked).

Unofficial Versions
Made by developers who worked on 0.9 and is separate from the cancelled 1.0 version Chris was working on. Known as the "unabandoned" version.

Unabandoned
Released on July 31, 2023.


 * Fixed Star IDs.
 * One side effect of this shifting is that if you keep your save file from 0.9, and use it in the Unabandoned version, certain stars you had before will become uncollected again, and certain stars that you hadn't collected become collected. this is especially annoying if you had collected red stars as well, as you have to figure out which Red Stars you need to recollect. (usually via trial and error) However, the actual number of stars you have only changes slightly (depending on how many you had).
 * Some intentional and unintentional crashes were removed (For example, you used to be able to crash if you tried to exit through the left door in Crescent Castle).
 * Added extra content (for example, the door that used to lead to the Castle Courtyard in Dudaw12's Beta Recreation instead leads to Wall Castle, and the door leading to the Dudaw Courtyard being moved to another door to the left.
 * Fixed the (intended) ending route and added new content for the ending.
 * Some warps were changed (for example, dying in Plexal Upstairs no longer takes you to Vanilla Lobby, and instead takes you to Plexal Lobby).

Unabandoned hotfix
Released on August 28, 2023.


 * Fixed duplicate stars.
 * Fixed some crashes.
 * Readded Captain Fly Guy.
 * Added silver star mission in Grassy Highlands.
 * Re-enabled post credits ACT 1 mode.
 * Tweaked Cave Dungeon.
 * Backflip now unlocks at 2/3 red stars as intended.
 * Fixed Dream Tower cage collision.
 * Fixed stars going OOB from level scaling.
 * Better water camera.
 * Some A.I. trolling.

Non-Public Versions

 * v0.1: Not much is known about this version, it is however known that the only 4 areas included at this point in development were the Plexal Basement, Dry Town, Pleasant, Pleasant, Falls, and Bob-Omb River.
 * v0.6.8 Yaha build: A joke version, replacing Luigi's triple/long jump sound effect in the titular version with the "Yaha!" (which Cristopher notoriously hates) often heard in Super Mario 64 footage. This version is currently lost, as it has since been deleted from Mediafire.
 * v0.6.9.7: One of the rare instances when a playtester build was given an actual name. It was mostly intended for multiplayer testing over Net64, and already contained much of the new content later publicly released in v0.7.
 * Big Chungus build (v0.7, possibly older versions): Another joke version where Mario is replaced with Big Chungus, the meta-ironic mascot of post-2019 Reddit meme culture. This version has not been publicly released; however, it was released in Chris' discord.
 * E3313: B3313 v0.7, but with an E3 1996 flair.
 * Besides the versions listed above, hundreds of test builds have been shared around by the dev team (some being a handful of the builds present in the archive), although, these were only passed down to certain playtesters.

Extra Information
Recently, it was discovered that some "developer only" builds were archived on a website: https://benedani.xyz/files/bee/original/ Interestingly, it seems like some extra builds are in the archival as well, ones that weren't publicly talked about. These include:

B13_greendemon, B13_prehotfix, B13_rom1, B13_rom2, B13_rom3, v0.6.9_Sep23 v0.6.9_Sep24, and E3313.
