SM64DS personalized - The "black box"

When you start the game up and go into the file select, you might notice a "black box" on the right side of the castle. What does it mean? Is it even related to the game at all? Is it a glitch? A secret? No one shall know.
But now... it's done...
The deed... it's done.
The AI... it's done also...
Everything... is no more.

The VHS effect ruins this video. The average person in 2004 and even the rest of the decade for that matter wasn't able to capture DS footage like this so it takes me out of it assuming you were going for some found footage type video which it seems like. Would have been a decent video without it. If you wanted an authentic look you should've just had camcorder on a DS via an R4 card.

This truly reminds me of the nightmares I had of this game as a kid like finding new rooms in the castle. This low key freaked me out.

Ok no one is going to believe me, but when I was a child I talked to the toad in the Jolly Roger bay room and it gave me a star. I can't do it anymore but I swear that I actually got a star from him.

im anxiety spiked when he entered the huge room with pure silence no music or anything, spiked more when he entered the claustrophobic looking hallway

[@viktorramstrom3744]

I didn't see the black box or the door outside of the tower on the roof in-game. But I saw a grey square in that exact place everytime I paused the game and saw the big overview of the castle.

I remember being obsessed with that black box in the title screen when I was a kid.

I had a dream once where I was messing around with Luigi outside the castle, and I turned on the moon jump cheat as well as one that would allow the power flower's affect on command. I then decided to jump/float towards the mural outside and I somehow passed through it. Inside was a hallway a lot like

I remember playing SM64DS as a kid and being irked when the music suddenly cut out. Whether I was inside Peach’s castle or in Bob-Omb Battlefield, no music would play. Only sound effects along with the grunts and screams from characters and NPC’s.

Disclaimer: the waluigi part isn't actually real. Waluigi isn't real.

[@theminiyosshi2901]

Personally I’ve always believed that the battle area from Mario Kart DS would’ve made an appearance here. The only nit pick I have about this is the Waluigi model. Its size isn’t “correct” in that it doesn’t look taller than Wario’s, and the texture looks too intense, too vibrant, and doesn’t have that look of it being in this game. Basically it’s like my nit pick with the polls you jump on in the red coin mission of JRB in this DS remake.

[@fireballfurby]

Wow! In my copy it’s.....

[@papermariofan64t40]

I had a dream I walked into that same room and just found lava and fear

Night in The Super Mario 64 DS is weird

[@Caldinovin]

I like how despite it being a game that came out around the time DVD was pretty much slowly taking over the videotape format its STILL on VHS. Maybe thats the only way to trigger the AI.
