[Original floor 2B idea by Blackjoystick and Razer Bloxy]
Cancelled pilot for a gaming news show titled "Nintendo Mania" (possibly linked to the Mexican-produced show of the same name). The show is comprised of animated segments where a 3D model of Mario announces the latest gaming news, before transitioning into long stretches of gameplay.
This first episode features a pre-E3 1996 build of Super Mario 64, offering footage of cut areas in Peach's castle, as well as a playable Luigi.
The pilot was cancelled after test audiences reacted negatively to the crude humor and bad animation. 2 other episodes were reportedly written.
Very little is known of its production, apart from a writing credit attributed to a "Jim". Mario's voice actor remains unknown, though it is likely that these were simply placeholder recordings.

L is real.

[@MegaMitchZero]

Feels like a nightmare from one's childhood. I recall having dreams as a kid about video games that I'd play a lot where I was exploring levels that weren't actually in the game. Familiar, yet different... and getting increasingly weirder as the dream went on. Having the area Luigi explores be just outside of the castle was genius and really adds to that vibe of "exploring beyond the invisible barrier". Good show!

[@GreenSonic4975]

i remember when i'd spend hours playing mario 64 on my ds trying to unlock Waluigi, or trying to find the F.L.U.D.D. machine from Mario Sunshine in the backyard, i actually dreamed about it and i felt like i'd actually unlock it.....but no results

[@davidwilson2916]

That's exactly the feeling I got from this video. As someone who grew up playing the DS version of SM64, I often had dreams about hidden levels and secret stars that I could swear were actually in the game. When I woke up, I would immediately boot up the game to try and find the area from my dream, but couldn't. The 'secret floor' of the castle captured that memory perfectly.

[@elementallobsterx]

@@davidwilson2916 yeah... what is it with people dreaming of secret rooms in sm64? it really interests me psychologically why secret rooms in familiar places are so appealing to us as kids

[@davidwilson2916]

@@elementallobsterx For me, I think it was a combination of factors. I watched a lot of KZbin videos about glitches and exploits; the game itself was designed in such a way to encourage imaginative exploration; I had a lot of vivid dreams at the time regarding other games and cartoons; my friends and I would often talk about things we'd discovered or experienced in our favourite games. If nothing else, it's these memories and stories that prove the power of Peach's castle as a hub area; an area so thoughtfully designed that you could spend hours just running around, looking for secrets and trying out new moves, and, more often than not, be rewarded for doing so. I hope the next 3D Mario will be able to channel some of that mystery and intrigue in its levels.

[@axl256gamesx7]

From one's childhood Reminds me of the dream i had 3 days ago Wario appeared briefly in a laberinthical version of the basement (where MIPS more specifically) Then mario spawned in the lobby, but it was a long hall into the throne, with doors on the sides that went into levels The only level i saw in the dream was some mix of bob-omb battlefield and jolly roger bay The mix turned it into a coast level, also similar to the one on sm64DS It was very pretty actually

Green I seriously gotta compliment you on this one. This is some of your best work right here.

Fantastic job! :)

Glad to see that these are still going. The 1st season was hands down one of my favorite KZbin series. The atmosphere and effort put in was top notch. I just saw these were posted and started watching. I saw the whole “these won’t be horror” and was like “oh, okay. So these are just personal replications of the beta and the commercials with it, cool.” But then we get to the Mario in the cave... and now this. Excellently done, it’s mid-afternoon when I’m watching this and I’m deeply unsettled. It honestly makes me want to take a shot at doing something like this, found footage style and all (not gaming though as I don’t know a single thing about ROMs or coding).

[@williammcghie3443]

This is incredible, I love the progression of this story. My favorite parts were how smoothly incorporated the button combo for L is real, plus how legitimate the sound effects and model for Luigi himself were. That, and more-so when Luigi goes into the tunnel and Mario just looks on in silence, knowing his brother just sealed his fate, rather than go enjoy some of the other bonus levels. Seeing the castle's basement flooded with such grim lighting made me feel a sense of fear I only remember from being a child. Such a wonderfully put together video, 10/10 in all regards. Authenticity, aesthetic quality, eerieness. (and showing the symbolism for the star statue being Luigi's grave really puts the cherry on top.)

Honestly, this might be your best video yet. There's something about that maze segment that perfectly captures how Super Mario 64 felt to me, and I don't know how to describe it without sounding like an utter madman, but yeah it tickled my nostalgia bone in a way that I don't think any video like this ever has. The descent into the flooded castle basement was also really cool; that and the bricked-off doorways everywhere were a really nice twist on familiar layouts! The maze being turned into a field of flowers after Luigi collected that star seems like one of those Dynamic Level Rearrangement things, considering the orange sky and all. I wonder if the AI bricked up those doorways too? And if so, then what for? And of course, the animated Mario segments are pretty great. I could see this being pitched as an idea for a show in the 90's, seems pretty on-brand for Nintendo at the time. Wonder what happened to Mario at the end though. Did the AI somehow leak into the show, or did somebody make that image? I guess this video's good at making me ask questions, lol. Can't wait to see more!

I only got this video recommendation after playing Mario Madness, I clicked because I thought it was gonna be the Mario Madness V2 cutscene. But now I am not disappointed I did, because that cutscene was based on this.

[@L30NBL4NK]

Oh my God, this is the greatest creepypasta I've never heard of. I usually hate them because of the ease they just toss elements to make a dumb story. But this one, the ingredients are well dosed. The ambience matches the Nintendo vibe, that just entered in a state of deliquescence since the beta was launched. Nintendo's prestige, those vibrato-enabled musics. The slow decade that is just taking place in the whole video. Bigger grounds, an AI-generated maze. Those scary deep-blue backgrounds with VHS quality. That mise-en-scène with Mario and Luigi, and the fact Luigi drowned, to become an unlockable character. F*ck me, that was wonderful. Or I should say, breathe-taking? Rip Luigi. EDIT: The muted parts, I think, make it a bit scarier. I don't know why.

This is really well made! It's surprising for me to see how Luigi eventually got removed from SM64. Let me try to analyze this... - A new show called Nintendo Mania is in the works, hosted by Mario. The series aims to showcase games created by Nintendo, hence the name "Nintendo Mania". To kick off the series premiere, Super Mario 64 was the main focus. - The player presses a series of buttons (LL RR Up Right Down Left) to control Luigi. - Luigi has his own set of voice clips, which are higher pitched versions of Mario's final voice clips and a few of them used here come from Mario Party. - The castle grounds has some minor differences. The central tower appears taller (I assume). The cannon is missing, and the initial water height is a bit lower than the final. - The foyer is identical to the E3 1996 version where the stairs are still missing. However, all the doors are blocked off by brick walls. Ground pounding through the sun carpet reveals a unique hallway that still has dead ends. A single door leads to a hedge maze area just behind the castle courtyard. - The courtyard used to have a hedge maze behind the wall. Luigi goes around collecting all the red coins. The final one sits on the fountain where the Eternal Star will soon be placed. Luigi then collects the star at the small fountain in the hedge maze. We cut to a commercial break. - Returning to the show at hand, Mario realizes he's stuck doing his shtick. The background music cuts out. - Returning to Luigi, the hedges are gone. The sun sets as Luigi attempts to re-enter the castle but all the doors are blocked off in the same way as earlier in the video. Reaching the big fountain area that will only remain in the final game, he finds some bricks jutting out of the wall. Luigi enters through a window and runs into a pipe, leading to Floor 2B. - Floor 2B doesn't have a whole lot to offer for Luigi with the low star count, and he makes his way to a big pool with a Toad standing nearby. The little Toad is worried over what lies in the tunnel at the pool. Luigi takes a dive into the tunnel to check out what's inside. - Cutting to the show floor, Mario realized that Luigi has made a grave mistake and that he'll never see his brother ever again. Well, in the SM64 universe, assuming. - Back to Luigi, he is seen swimming around the entire castle basement area, completely flooded. All possible exits had been barred off, though there are coins that help Luigi survive. Eventually, he drowns. - We see the courtyard's fountain again as the hedge maze behind the wall fades away, never to be seen again. The mysterious Eternal Star is erected on top of the fountain, possibly marking the grave of Mario's brother. A message reads "L is Real 2401". Sure enough, 24 years and a month later, Luigi returns from the dead after source code of SM64 was somehow leaked.

Okay, I'm obsessed with this video, please send help In all seriousness, I love this, it's my favorite video on this channel. Everything in it is brilliant. It's very well-paced and hits on all the right creepy notes for me, from the authentic-looking Mario show and beta footage that starts out rather benign, culminating in the tense and foreboding sequence of Luigi swimming through the dark underwater halls while the player slowly runs out of air to that shot of Mario silently standing there. Of course there's also the terrifying imagery at the end. It's like a bad dream. It's a masterpiece.

I originally started on this series some months ago and finally caught up these past few weeks, and I gotta say... this is truly fantastic. This definitely helps me get into Mario 64 more again since the times I played it at hospital visits on Starbright Fun Stations. This new direction is certainly different & I like it for that, and the emotional horror here. Mario went from “Oh, they shoulda brought ME instead” to “Oh... it should have been me.” and his expression and silence was only something I noticed on a second viewing. Brilliant, especially the end that shows the tragedy behind the statue. While I’m not sure if this different direction was something you really wanted to do (due to... another channel that shall not be named), I think you’ve brought this series to a great place. Though I’m sorry you had to go through what you did. Looking forward to the next tapes!
