11 Cool Things You Probably Didn't Know About Super Mario 64 (Part 1)

[@Kosmicd12]

The sun painting is also the entrance to Rainbow Ride if you look down the hole

[@IvanFranco120]

Cool

[@Joosher56]

Hey kosmic didn’t expect to see you here

[@BradTyler1984]

Same with the entrance to Wing Mario Over the Rainbow.

[@MrTASer]

@@IvanFranco120 yeah, I was waiting for a nintendo gamer like Nathaniel or Kosmic to figure it out...

[@StadiumsCenter]

this is my new favorite sentence

[@michaeloverton04]

I'm fairly certain the wall on the tower of Whomp's Fortress has become paradoxically well known because of how few people knew it.

[@FO18L]

i don't think you know what a paradox is...

[@IvanFranco120]

Yeah, because you can't see the texture difference on the wall...😅

[@Levacque]

@@FO18L they're just using the word in a non-literal sense, it's not an uncommon usage.

[@AmeliaJones12564]

The stars painting also happens to be the notes used for Song of Storms in Ocarina of Time, which was being worked on around the same time.

[@jdawgturnbag3083]

No it isn't xD

[@shidac39]

@@jdawgturnbag3083 it is, the leak with the original Luigi 64 model was saying that this painting is the song of storm of OOT

[@AndusWhiskus]

When they showed the stars in the video i was hoping they saying it that this is the song of storms. But I got disappointed that they just say that you can find the same stars on other places. I mean, this is not a secret? It's the same like when i say "the grass in world 1 is green like outside the castle. It's the same grass!!"

[@jkadoodle]

The cloud painting shown after looks like Navi

[@matthewcornish3086]

With the same engine and assets

[@Xenshi.]

another thing to add about the slide kicking on lava thing, the same thing also applies to quicksand and the freezing cold water in snowman’s land

[@Lucas-db2jq]

Finding out what the "pinkish" in Metal Mario is after all this time was something else, yes, BUT I NEVER EVEN KNEW THERE WAS ANOTHER IDLE ANIMATION FOR MARIO IN THE COLD!!! WHAT?!? I always thought he'd just sleep so I don't think I ever stood still long enough at a "cold" level.

[@SonicJrandSarah]

5:51 - "Ooh! There's a fish!" - PBG when playing Super Mario 64 Chaos Edition.

[@mistermike4023]

Regarding the sun painting, it's not just used on the ceiling of the 1st floor lobby. It's also used as the entrance for Rainbow Ride and the hidden course directly adjacent to it

[@IvanFranco120]

Yeah...

[@chompythebeast]

That decaying mosque in the background is downright bizarre. What a weird world that one is

[@Chimpmanboom]

having been speedrunning this game for years i expected to already know everything in this vid but you still got me...incredible man. the paintings being reused and the cold animation/cloud lvl

[@IvanFranco120]

Yeah, i wonder if the cold animation from the coulds level, was an leftover from an early version of the game...🤔

[@KingRidley]

@@IvanFranco120 it's probably just that the clouds act like snow, like the video guessed

[@HikaruCh.]

By far the best researcher out there, the lil' penguin is so cute nghh ❤

[@GiancarloThomazSenoni]

0:48 adorable

[@PaxtheDreamer]

If I remember my SM64 trivia correctly, the reason behind the fish jumping out of the water when Mario hops around is that the water particle effect has a small percentage chance to be replaced with a fish texture instead for the effect.

[@IvanFranco120]

Intresting...

[@lunarkomet]

That's what's clearly happening on screen, duh Still no explanation for why that happens in the first place

[@Heyim18bro]

@@lunarkomet I didn't know it was replacing a water particle (not sure how true that is), but you're right that that doesn't actually give any reasoning why it's happening like he said..

[@braziliantsar]

@@lunarkomet ... He literally explained it. It happens because the particle effect is not proper to Mario. It is "generic" for the game, and so they didn't code anything t prevent the fish animation while it wouldn't make any sense.

Wet dry world's skybox looks like AI shenanigans

[@GameDjeenie]

The wet-dry world skybox is so weird and out of place... If you look closely, there are ripples near the sun in the skybox... which means this is a submerged and most likely abandoned town...

[@moronribbons5774]

1:54 I believe you can also see this if you get electrocuted as metal mario in a rather odd way, normal mario will flicker despite him being metal (and not actually taking damage) Or maybe my memory is just really bad and this is baloney, idk xd

[@IvanFranco120]

[@brucebaird-]

You sir have answered a question I’ve been wondering for 20 years; what was metal Mario’s reflection

[@salmuttotabreabittlecochicarac]

3:55 another argument: in someone challenge run, they played sm64 with every level flooded, and that level, despite not having water, has frozen water properties.

[@gragogflying-anvil3605]

Indeed, that stage is marked as ice/snow level. Probably just because of the cloud thing.

[@IvanFranco120]

@@gragogflying-anvil3605 Its an leftover from an early build? 🤔

[@zeldafanatic100]

Yeah that was swankybox and the reason most likely is that the level was made earlier in development and they used a frozen level because of the cloud effect as rainbow ride does not have frozen water when flooded it’s just an effect of an “ice” level

[@coldstuff9784]

The edits for falling onto the pillars is so perfect, you were thorough and even fell at different angles. And like always, I already knew about some of these but I'm just blown away by the other facts, I didn't even realize the paintings were reused in the castle.

The shifting sand land skybox has the sphinx and the great pyramids in it and the text for when yoshi talks to Mario after getting all the stars starts with a typo he says “Mario, it that really you”

[@IvanFranco120]

Yeah, the Yoshi typo was kinda easy to see, and strangely it was not patched on 3D All Stars...

[@smg4reblooperd182]

What are you talking about

This is one of the things that make this game legendary. Back in the days you discussed Super Mario 64 with your friends on schoolyard sharing secret tipps and such. But you still dont know all the secrets to this Day.Sure you can easily find every Star blind. Defeat Bowser with one Hand and yada yada but there are still these little things and functions like in this Video you maybe still dont know that this and that even exists. Thank you for this.

I know this game extremely well, but there were still a couple of these I didn't know about and a few I had forgotten. I wonder if the DS version fixed Mario being able to get stuck in surfaces he shouldn't get stuck in. My guess is probably not, but they might have.
