    I think this is quite a good idea honestly. They should add hidden mysterious feature randomly on certain batch of the game's copy. Making a snall amount of copies "haunted" and some arent. So its like Willy Wonka's golden ticket but on a bit larger scale.

    This logic doesn't hold up as Japan uses English all over the place. It's not uncommon to see English signs in Japan, just as a stylistic thing. It's very common to see Japanese video games use English text both in file names and in game for various reasons. Famicom games in particular almost always used English text for their HUDs because it took less memory to include the Roman alphabet than any Japanese alphabet. Super Metroid's text is entirely in English in its Japanese version, with an option to turn on Japanese subtitles at the bottom of the screen. Super Mario World's HUD has "TIME" written on it in the original Japanese version. Plenty of Japanese games use English text at various points. It probably doesn't actually say "L is real" but it's still very likely to be in English.

  • @Krabapple

    Some one probably said this already, but there is code that was around at the time that allows for the game to be easier or harder for players depending on how good said player was. An example would be if the player kept dying to a boulder rolling, the boulder would slow down so the player could react in time. Developers do this so players won't rage quit the game, thus allowing for better beliefs surrounding the game. Maybe this is what people mean when they say the game feels different depending on what console or time they play, as people will be better or worse at the game, resulting in major or minor differences. I could be wrong about all of this, but that could be what Miyamoto meant when he says the game changes for players.

    So, stupid question, didn’t we already know Luigi was scrapped from SM64 when they were considering a possible two player/split screen mode? Since you could manipulate the camera in the final cutscene of the game by plugging in a second controller, it seemed like a lot of people (to my understanding) chalked it up to be a leftover bit of that two player feature and that was where Luigi was going to be included before it was scrapped

    Dude I specifically remember seeing that Mario silhouette!

    In Mario Kart 64 if you are running a time trial race with yourself and have a rumble pack (I believe it was called? An attachment to the controller) you would race "against" a ghost of yourself trying to beat your old time and stuff. I wonder if the attachment has anything to do with Mario sillhouette?

I feel like that would be a good selling point and Resident Evil 4 has something kinda simalr to the Mario 64 theory where depending on how you're doing the game will differ slightly

I remember trying to race it allot because it reminded of me of platforming and racing flash games where that was a common feature.

    Fantastic video going over all of this stuff. Nicely done. I just have a few things to note. We've known that Luigi was originally meant to be in the game since shortly after it's release. It was not something realized in 2020. That's just when game data relating to Luigi was finally found. As for the game feeling a bit different each time it's played, that's most likely due to the time gap between plays. People are coming back to it years later, and do to our faulty memories things seem a bit different. Also, graphics and especially the controls are not going to feel as good as they once seemed to be. For me personally, I've played through the game numerous times since it's release and it has always felt exactly the same. Pretty much all of these myths (except for Luigi and L is real) never were a thing until around 2 decades after it's release. People just like to make stuff up, and many people are sadly gullible enough to believe it.

    I’m not an old guy, I just have a huge interest in the 80s - mid 2000s. I remember playing my uncle’s old N64, when I was around 7. While playing my uncle told me to play SM64, so I did. My uncle then told me if I had gotten to the wario level yet, at the time I had absolutely no idea what he meant, but through recent years I now know that it had something to do with the wario apparition. When I found out what he meant all those years ago, I texted him asking if he remembers about the wario level. He told me almost the exact details about the apparition, besides running in an “infinite” hallway. I couldn’t tell if my uncle was joking years ago, but it seemed like he was serious, so I believe him. He explained to me that he played the game at a friend’s house. They had been playing for hours, up until 11:00 pm he said. Around 9:00 or 10:00 he said that he died, so his friend took his place. The friend decided to go to the level my uncle was struggling on. Again, my uncle can’t remember this perfectly, and nor can I. The conversation was around 3 years ago, so it’s difficult to remember. As I was saying, his friend took over and beat whatever level was hard for my uncle. After that, strangely, instead of coming out of the painting as usual, he spawned into the hallway with no transition whatsoever. They were both confused, and decided to continue anyway. They then saw wario, just sitting there. They walked up to him, and nothing happened. They decided to leave and go into peaches castle, and continue their session. I don’t really know what to say from here other than that he saw wario, so that’s strange.

    Alot of people in the comments are mad about the gameplay, like every person on earth is supposed to be pro at SM64

    This is atrocious gameplay. The clip where the player failed to ground pound an unmoving block several times is just sad.

    Had anyone else just always assumed the Toad stuck in the walls thing was, like, the whole plot of the game?

    I used to think that there were secret rooms at the top of the swimming beast room in HMC. If you stand on top of Nessie and look upwards, you can see doors high up. They probably are the earlier rooms but I used to think that there was a secret room, possibly leading to an early Bowser fight.
