7 Disturbing Secrets Hidden in the Super Mario 64 Iceberg (Personalized Copies)

[@realgambadogaming]

UPDATE: in an attempt to make an iceberg video that was shorter and branded different I have inadvertently click baited some people. Just wanted to say that these entries aren't present in the final game and follows the iceberg which includes a lot of talk of personalized copies. If you are looking for real things from Super Mario 64 this may not be the best video to watch. I find this stuff super interesting even if very fake, but I didn't know so many people were tired of hearing about these personalized copies entry. I've changed the title to be less click baity and am planning on changing the thumbnail (making these edits on my phone lol). Regardless apologies if this was misleading and I'm attempting to fix that now.

[@TheHoFFnev]

Agree with that guy about conkers. Also your custom intros are awesome dude. Keep up the good work!

[@stuco211]

This was a very well made and entertaining video. However, the title was a bit misleading. I think something along the lines of "7 bullshit rumors spun off from a Super Mario 64 meme"

[@phyllojoe5346]

My SM64 nightmare was that the console would turn on by itself at night, and I couldn't turn it off (same with the TV). The bowser laugh would play and the black bowser face when you die would come out of the TV screen and get me. Just awful. I used to refuse to sleep in the same room as the cartridge for awhile.

[@blackzero786]

Did you see the KZbin video where a guy was filming himself getting ready to play Super Mario 64, only the game turns on without being turned on and he manages to get into the First Stage before it gets corrupted.

[@sealy1]

I never had a dream involving Mario 64, BUT I remember being scared of a few things inside the game, like the paintings of bowser and peach (mostly peach) and Big Boo’s Haunt, I can’t remember if I was scared of the endless staircase though. Also, it’s most definitely Lakitu’s brother recording him.

[@bannisray3683]

This is the best Icebergs since Mish Koz bro, keep em coming

[@RedHotMessResell]

I have been watching all your SM64 videos and realizing why I got scared of the game when I was a kid. I remember having nightmares about it, and I was only like 3 when mom bought the thing for me, so I wasn't necessarily old enough. LOL

[@RianzGoofy]

As someone who was introduced to SM64 through the DS I was confused when I entered the mirror room in the castle where Lakitu can be seen in the mirror and I was like "Why the heck is this Lakitu here?" Because I was a dumb little kid. But fr, Lakitu in SM64 isn't given enough appreciate in my opinion.

[@blackzero786]

The Mini-Chill Bullies that would push Mario along the Ice Platform right next to their Boss the Chill Bully, had to defeat 3 of the Mini-Chill Bullies to produce the star from the "Chilling with the Bullies" star. 30 Star Bowser getting harder after taking the first hit was an interesting choice especially when 70 star Bowser took 3 hits to defeat.

[@Sm64wii]

Been really enjoying your videos, topics I’ve rewatched many times because of how much it interests me but you add a “personalized” touch to it (pun intended) great work!

[@Lasagna_Garfield_]

I’ve had nightmares about getting trapped in paintings for years. I’m pushing 30 and had one just recently. It’s embedded so deeply into my subconscious that even after almost completely forgetting about ever playing it, it still haunts me every now and then

[@rojoscostanada8685]

GambaradoGaming, I love your content. You really break the mold of stereotypes in this oversaturated market. Especially SM64.

[@GoodLuckHolly]

The creepy pastas are fun, but I legitimately don't understand why people find this game eerie

[@yellow9053]

It’s just, solitary. There’s no one else. The world feels empty when you go through it slowly

[@unsimplifier5159]

My super mario 64 childhood nightmare was in the bobomb battlefield painting room, the right wall was enterable and there was a spiral staircase down to the depths of the castle where they kept like a museum and a boss (I dont remember what he looked like) but going down the stairs scared me so much

[@guillaumelemieux7686]

A Mario 64 nightmare i had went like this: I was at a carnival when all a sudden, a trap in the floor would let me fall to a secret room. I would then get chased by Bowser through a maze and I'd wake up at the very moment he'd catch me. It kept me up at night for many years I tell you what! Btw, love the vids, just found your channel and I've been binging your content, you're truly great and genuinely funny. Keep it up!

[@Dusk_Mightyena]

Why is this fuckin’ underrated

[@kooi6616]

your commentary is my new favorite thing ever

[@thatinsanehenry_3447]

The only nightmares I have had were both in the sand land. One was drowning in the pyramid sand pit and the other was getting some very painful CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) from getting squished by the moving blocks. Also recently had a nightmare that the carnival music plays but that had nothing to do with what was happening I was actually getting chased through the infinite bathroom reoccurring dream.

[@Volti-Vagra]

2:26 no pet or mario stuff but as a kid id be all cozied up ready for bed feel myself falling asleep and accept it then one night i felt something mentally changing first it just took longer to fall asleep by the "end" (where i finally took control of it all) felt like the bed was shaking from "someone" climbing into it nearly atop of me (no, i was in no danger as a kid and every time i actually "broke free" and looked, there was no one nor any proof of someone crawling on my bed, all the blankets were still spread out n all) ((and rarely it happens, last one was a few weeks ago and actually spooked me since its been s o long and i forgot/started forgetting bout it. thankfully it broke quickly and wasnt much more than an increased heartbeat temporarily)) shit was insane honestly, like in the worst parts i felt my heart absolutely racing as it felt like what would be the embodiment of a every predator, but the feeling of them nearby all conglomerated together just hovering above me (creepiest part of that one was the hot breath that would seep through the pillow. thats what prolly had me half believing it was real for S O long)

[@LIES1988GNR]

I find it really odd that people also have had nightmares or perceived this game as scary. It indeed spooked me as a kid for some known reasons but I still, until this very day, have fever dreams about Mario 64. The dreams are more like visiting new areas, or extra rooms. Similar to that beta cut content or roomhhacks you showed in the video.

[@Hatosan_]

Your new logo is wicked. 👌

[@JonathanRamosdeSouza-e7f]

i had a nightmare about sm64 before, it started with mario inside peache's castle in a room with blue walls and rainbows, clouds and stars painted in the walls and a lot of playground toys and colorfull cubes with letters and numbers on the sides, the room has a elevator in the middle that looks like the portal2 elevator but yellow and low poly, i used ground pound on the elevator floor and the floor broke and i fell on a underground slide with cages as obstacles, inside the cages where skeleton goombas, skeleton piranha plants and dead power stars, they looked like normal stars but they did'nt spin or shine, at the end of the slide was a small room with old cardboard cutouts of rainbows bushes flowers etc... And an old bunny suit hanging in the wall and the room was lit up by a single light bulb on the ceiling, there was also a dark hole on the ground that probably leads to a sewer because even tho its too dark to see anything you can still hear flowing water sounds comming from it, there was no exit exept for the hole on the ground, so i openned the main menu and selected the exit level option, i was back in the main part of the castle, the one with some doors and a stair in the middle, but in my dream instead of one staircase there were two staircases with a collorful glass pannel with an image of peach in it, i openned the menu agian and selected the exit game option and right as i did it i heard a loud noise and the glass pannel broke into peaces like something bursted trough it and my game froze and eventualy crashed

[@vileshaft9730]

my only dreams i remembered of sm64 which ive had more than once is being able to push the staircase for the 3 star door into the wall and finding a secret room

[@YippityDingleDoo]

Can I ask a dead honest question? Has anyone reading this comment ever play a mario game from 2000-2009 that had a red line wireframe level? Small detail that sticks in my head I havent seen elsewhere.

2d or 3d

[@hatkidshawn4952]

I actually had a Sm64 dream!! About the 4th floor! when I was binging the icebergs! Then I was looking up "Shared Nightmares and it freaked me TF Out!!" It was a bit of a mix of 4th floor, the Skelux video of what Peach's castle "really looks like", and the 2d black box from Sm64DS!, it was soo weird!!

[@mrmumblz9496]

That intro should be a regular one in rotation lmao

[@edd.5169]

I'm a zoomer so my childhood mario 64 nightmare was from the version on the DS. At the start of the game in the little intro sequence, mario, luigi, and wario all jump out of the green pipes that rise out of the ground, I guess I imagined that's how they travelled there. Anyway, my nightmare was I was in the castle's 'main' room? (The one you first enter) and all my family members were there, and my childhood best friend. I stood there and watched as green pipes all popped out of the ground and they jumped into them (even doing the jump animation) and then the pipes disappeared back into the ground. Somehow I 'knew' that they were all leaving me behind to go someplace else, and I woke up crying.

[@らいどう-c5m]

Maybe you should do a video covering greenios content I feel like that would get tons of views considering how big ARGs are

[@hectorlumbagoCringe]

Love your work man

[@authordccanipe]

Never had nightmares about Super Mario 64. Surreal dreams, like Alice in Wonderland, sure, but I always enjoyed them.

[@SupaCD]

I think the reason so many people had dreams of this game was because it was alot of peoples first 3d game and the bright colors and out of worlness of it. also my dream went like this, i remember it very clearly but it is short. basically i walk into the castle as i see mario walking up the stairs he then turns right and pushes on the wall next to the main upstairs door, i follow and upon entering there is a bunk bed. a rainbow light fills the corner of the room but it is not bright only on the bed. the rest of the room was dimmed 2 suited men stand in the room with mario with shades on. they kind of resembled the piantas from sunshine. they look at me and thats all i remember. always felt very ominous for such a bright game

[@SupaCD]

Which sunshine was out at the time. as I was born 2002{ it had to be around 2005 however as i was 3 or 4 ish} but we had n64 at the time. i was very young so could be the piantas were just in the dream because i correlated the two not sure

[@SupaCD]

was the n64 scenery however. and from my vivid memoric imagery the "paintas" were orange in skin tone with black suits and shades mario looked distressed

[@SupaCD]

I also remember from paper mario the shaded things that also looked like paintas so maybe thats where the dream pulled it from. hard to say

[@princessmaly]

Interesting stuff, but the title mentioned things IN Mario 64, not from creepypastas based on it. Kind of a bait and switch there, but still cool stuff. I click on one of those spooky Mario 64 videos when they pop up, but I haven't been actively paying attention to Greenio or anything, so all of this was new to me and rad. Y'know, with the state of Mario 64 modding where it is, I wonder if someone might actually be able to create some sort of... not simply a randomizer, but like a procedurally generative Mario 64 mod. I don't know how feasible that is, but the idea of being able to play a version of Mario 64 that's actually personalized sounds rad. Then people could share stuff they actually saw, y'know?

[@realgambadogaming]

Yeah after reading a few comments with the same point I've decided to rebrand the video to better fit the content within it. Thanks for the feedback, and being respectful about it. I like your idea of a procedurally generated Mario 64, that seems like the best chance for some of these entries to actually be seen by people playing the game, not just made up stuff

[@abraxasaguilera4670]

Yo i DEFINITELY saw the Womp King in Tick Tock Clock when i was a lad. No lies, it actually heckin happened. I have been confused why I’ve never been able to find it since

[@Trozone181]

I had a dream about Mario 64 where in the castle basement where lethal lava land and shifting sand land are there where monster versions of king bob omb king whomp the giant Wiggler and more I remember entering a room in that area near to the left and felt extremely dizzy as there was a lampshade there I had friends with me in the dream and they said I seemed creeped out and pale to this day it’s the coolest and creepiest dream I’ve ever had it’s so weird and creepy I’ve never been able to explain what the feeling was but I wonder what that feeling was I felt in that room because it was weird even in a dream

[@alonzomaldonado6600]

I had a dream once I woke up for my bed look to my right stop Bowser laughing I look to my left and I saw Luigi laughing I like to my back and Mario was on top ramming I was terrified Louise's eyes and his sick fantasies with his vacuum cleaner scared me

[@Decbeck]

I dont Know Man, i Love the Content and your Humor but i feel like all this personalized copy Stuff is just not something i would consider a secret since nothing of it is real. The idea in it of itself is kinda insteressting but done to death. And with a Game like SM64 in wich People Know every inch of it it is kinda Lame since eveybody can claim they have a vivid memory of making out with Toad near the waterfall in a unique copy of the Game where every toad is nymphomaniac

[@DrakeBaku]

Holy fuck, i never player sm64 much cause i found that floor with the boo's n the castle to scary (never heard of boo's before XD)... so i guess my first playthrough i stumbled on this legendary 4th floor and did not even know it was special XD

[@OliGaming-d1u]

I thought we'd have actual creepy stuff but no, just more of that dumb personalised SM64 meme.

personalization is bullshit. why would nintendo use an ai (which was too complicated for 1996 standards in the first place) to harm the players? we are talking about the company which made mortal kombat on snes bloodless

The theory said that the ai was to make the mario 64 experience unique to everyone and not harm anybody

[@konuralpyldzkan1495]

@@ΘΕΟΔΩΡΑΧΙΩΤΗ 1. it is not an easy task for even today's ai, must be impossible for the ai of 1996. 2. why is everybody then talking about how dangerous more personalized copies are. 3. it is a stupid theory without any evidences in the first place. 4. i played sm64 on different consoles with different copies, but the games are exactly the same. or all the sm64 videos i've seen on youtube has exact same levels. how can personalization theory can explain this?
