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.

The most interesting thing about the bonus stages is how they’re separate from the other levels. They often exist in bizarre voids that might be connected but often feel random. The strangest ones are the Peach’s Castle areas, which seem to take place in pocket dimensions somehow related to the castle.

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.

the vanish cap makes you invincible, so if youre rushing to the switch and ignore the red coins you can see that the fire and amps dont hurt you. going for the coins first makes the level more challenging on purpose cus then you have no invulnerability for the fire, but in exchange you have a shot at getting a star.

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.

I don't remember where but I heard those deaths that don't send you back to the stage entrance "super deaths" where not only do you lose your life but you also have to travel all the way back to the stage. It's a cool idea since it makes the world more integrated, but it does come with the problem of getting all the way back. It's similar to the boss run (time to re-enter the boss room after a death) concept in a lot of metroidvanias and souls like. Too little of a boss run and death is more of an annoyance than a punishment since it's easy to get back in and try again. But too much of a run up and it becomes annoying since it takes far too long. Death should be a punishment, but one that feels justified. Bonking your head and being sent back for a minute long run up to a short stage like that is far too much.

8:59 Now that you mention that, I think what they should have done to make sure you could see the use of the vanish cap start out with its effects is they could have put one of those red walls of bars that you can run through right there at the top of the slide so that you would have to use the vanish cap and run through that right away. That is also no problem if somehow you're too dumb to do that, because you could just press the start button and accept the course if you somehow didn't figure that out.
