For many years, the screenshot showcased in this post was thought to be the only one ever taken of the “Mario Demo” project for the Virtual Boy, which was shown at a trade show in 1994 and never seen again. However, after researching print media published during that timeframe, I was able to find a second screenshot, seen above.
