Honestly I think if you look at it as more of a water tutorial stage (which I always felt it was), I don’t even think it’s a bad level. It’s a safe box to practice swimming in. And yes-the vibes are unreal.

I think it does that for the same reason that the metal cap level drops you into the moat from a waterfall and that dry dry dock includes a random door that leads to the lake.. It provides the illusion that the levels arent disconnected locations but part of a greater interconnected world. It may not seem like much now, but im sure plenty of kids were completely amazed when they fell off the level only to end up outside the castle, as if the level had been located just above their head all along.

Yo, thanks for covering the Bowser levels! I didn't expect the other bonus stages, so that's a nice Bonus! 11:17 one odd detail with the rising platform is that (I think) there's a glitch in the Wii virtual console where it rises up *very* slowly, but won't go back down after a while. Nathaniel Bandy did a whole video on it, leaving it on for a long time, seeing how high it'll go.

There was a lot of thought that went into the aquarium! The secret aquarium was there to teach the player how to swim, and to teach the player that the game had secrets. Before this game very few people played anything that was 3D, and there wasn't a lot of information on where to find game secrets (unless you bought a physical guide). So, developers had to design that information into the game without making a literal tutorial or words for explanation. Remember: in the 90s, games like this were designed for children.

Something I think could be worth noting here is how 64’s bonus stages have a tendency of being similar to Super Mario Galaxy’s shorter Galaxies, at least for the first game. The main difference, aside from what’s actually featured in each stage, is that Galaxy’s main stages only have six stars (two of these have seven), only five of which are original missions, meaning that to match the amount of Stars included in 64, Galaxy needed to have *13 more bonus stages than 64 does*. I’m not sure if that’s a good or bad thing.

About that one hidden red coin in Bowser 3, I would like to assume that Nintendo inteded the row of coins on the main part of the platform to be an indicator that it's there.
