I was going over newsgroup posts from the late '90s a while back and found a message from Todd himself hawking Redguard on a thread posted by someone wondering whether they should get FF7 or Daggerfall

[@jamesmcmillian9890]

Yes this is may very well be the true story. However you have to remember the most popular rumored story of the late 90s. The most famous rumor going around was that in 1998 a nickelback cover band was on tour in San Francisco, and they were performing nickelbacks "photograph" years ahead in secret at a Hilton hotel for 300 people on the rooftops. After the song, a supposed fan of theirs left a note describing how they shat their pants just the other night. It explained how they had to wash their underwear 4 different times. However, it doesnt stop there. This fan of theirs found something strange. Skid marks in their Calvin Klein undergarments. But this couldn't be possible, they pressure washed those underwear 4 times. It's believed that Miyamoto was staying in that very hotel. Problem with that is that nobody has any camera footage of him on that night. It's believed that he was working on a second mario 64 for the n64dd at the time. He accidentally left a bag containing some peculiar items. One of these items was a pair of unwashed pajama pants with butterflies and chocolate bars on it. There was a hole in the crotch area, as his massive 15 incher busted that hole according to sources I can't mention for personal reasons. This story is believed to be true by all the members of the band, and the skid stained underwear were never the same again.... believe what u will but im gonna sleep with 1 eye open for the rest of my life.

Regarding the whole "it's always three Goombas" thing, it's the way Super Mario 64 is designed. When creating levels, there is no "spawn a single goomba here" marker/command, they only implemented "spawn a trio here". There is ONE place where you'll see two goombas without their third in SM64, but the third technically spawns outside of bounds and so the player has a very hard time seeing them.

[@LuigiXHero]

You can place single goombas, bob omb battlefield does it. But yeah there is a trio spawner so it's a convenient way to add them in.

I think I figured out why Mario 64 often has the vibe of a liminal space to it. Liminal describes the intermediate, the transitional, the in-between. Super Mario 64 is *literally* a transition from 2D to 3D platforming; it’s certainly 3D, but still in its infancy. Super Mario 64 is, by definition, a liminal game.

[@LostSoulSilver]

How about other N64 games?

[@OtakuUnitedStudio]

@@LostSoulSilver Ocarina of Time and Kirby 64 are also liminal games for their franchises, and have similar aspects to them. Part of the reason that a lot of people describe Mario 64 as "liminal" is because of a common misconception about the concept, where they use the work in reference to place that normally have lots of people (schools, airports, malls) but are, at the time, mostly empty. In which case, the liminality could be said to be related to the are "transitioning" between cycles of activity, but that's not really the definition, strictly speaking. Anyway, Mario 64 takes place in a mostly empty castle with denizens that are literally invisible until you're almost right on top of them. It's like a ghost town. In fact, there are literal ghosts once you have enough stars. It's also a very strange design for a castle, with a creepy basement and a surreal attic, portals to other parts of the kingdom, and no throne room or bedrooms despite ostensibly being the residence of the royal family.

[@SonicPman]

@@OtakuUnitedStudio I suppose I mean liminal in both the common misconception definition and the actual definition lol

honestly this is one of the better attempts to mimic non Euclidean design, the constant doors that lead to new paths but never seemingly the same path except when it is the same path into much larger rooms inside of smaller rooms with twisting and turning the shifting colors and odd music tone shifts, it does genuinely make you disoriented

[@sutol5682]

it certainly does but it's not really non-euclidean except for that the castle is bigger from the inside

I’d call it inconsistent-Euclidean, like 5 90° corners in a square, 5 rooms where there should be 4

[@SonicPman]

Which is odd now, because abut a month ago he played a game that, by the original definition of the term, *literally* non-Euclidean.

6:58 When I got my used copy of Majora's Mask as a kid back in the day, it actually came with a save file called BEN.

That was the one of aims of the project: recreate beta levels, stories about "personalized copies" or levels people dreamed about, and include some stuff creepypastas.

[@DarkBowser64]

This feels like all my dreams about Mario 64 were given life.

[@KaiserMattTygore927]

This is one of those Mario games you got delivered to you in the mail by the sender "Nintendoo" in 1997

[@blackheartzerotheundergrou3225]

15:13 - whenever Vinny starts speaking like this, for the entire duration of it, I imagine his eyes narrowing, his brow slightly furrowing, and his neck- perhaps his entire spine too- straightens out entirely like he's a soldier standing at attention. Then when he's done speaking like that, he slouches back down into a more casual posture.

[@garrettgarner438]

The build could’ve also been titled “Bowser’s funhouse: you’ll have so much fun you don’t ever want to leave... not that you can...”

[@LostSoulSilver]

Hotel California was right. You can never leave

[@OtakuUnitedStudio]

I want to get of King Koopa's Wild Ride.

[@froggipool9493]

I like how Vinny keeps changing the origin story of the game, really adds to the atmosphere that this is a shittypasta.

[@Tufukins]

Seeing as how VERY many times people have tried to replicate Mario 64 Beta, this seems like it's really struck a nice balance of that and something new entirely. Hopefully, it will put all that to rest.

[@ulqinaku8471]

Oh no guys mario now have red eyes with realistic blood oyoyoyoyo

"i put the mario in my Nintendo 64 and then the Nostalgia Critic and Peter Griffin bled at me, oh no"

@@Vee_Sheep mario turned his head to the camera and said...c-cunt

[@buttholesurfer2000]

then evil patrixx came out of the monitor and a skeleton popped out with hyperrealistic blod jeff the killer was there

[@yoshibros1111]

Did you find the textureless Mario? The e3 castle? Bowser's room? Internal sewer system? They all exist in the rom btw.

[@funnyWOMAB7048]

THE BOWSER ROOM MIYAMOTO SAID THEY COULDNT RELEASE THE GAME WITHOUT IT

[@StrikeFear13]

Favorite part of this whole video is Vin making up all the cartridge's different origins.

[@parappathefunkaloidmaker3647]

is no one gonna talk about how vinny's mario and luigi voice impression came back at 57:47?

[@MightyReeN]

30:16 Vinny: " Some said it's a myth, but we knew the truth, we knew. . . It would get weird and work." *walks through a sudden door in a giant green wall* Vinny: . . . Ok-

[@simplyrenirambus2982]

Mario falling sounds like he "thlammed hith penith in the car door"

[@reddodeado301]

I mean, it is Mel Blanc

[@VeloxusGaming]

I was really hoping Vinny would play this and I am so glad that he did. I hope he’ll continue playing it in future streams because there is a lot to explore.

[@shawnwilburn5382]

Mario 64 but you're just continuously delving deeper into hell

[@gungaloscrungalo8925]

Man, I don't know if anybody else here has had a dream where you play a game, but it's a weird, bizzare, alternate version of it? This feels so much like that it's surreal.

[@coryphillips7995]

Imagine if Charles Martinet would have never voiced Mario and we were left with this voice, it would have been a totally different experience! This was pretty cool though, anything related to Super Mario 64 always draws my attention even the creepy, random, strange things! Thanks for sharing Vin, this was an interesting adventure to watch for sure!

[@MakerManX]

You always have the feeling that you can never explore all the paths, you will always be curious

[@KHfan67789]

I don't know if I missed the part at the beginning of the video where he said this was a romhack, but I legit spent 3/4 of the video thinking this was an actual sm64 prototype. I thought he was just taking the piss out of creepypasta when he was talking about how the game was 'found', then, at around the 45 min. mark, he talked about what influenced the 'mod' and my heart shattered. I actually had to look through the comments to confirm my suspicions. Not my proudest moment.

[@thejimmylightning]

2024 is pretty good so far, thank you for asking

[@toranine09]

i fucking lost it at "spainstation" not going to lie. was completely out of nowhere.

[@nate6749]

Hopefully he realized that he can play as luigi and makes this "luigi's termial 7 adventure"

[@senorchewie]

2023 checking in. Vinny is getting smoke 26:37 from the fires.

[@funni_noises]

Favorite bit of this is the story of how he got this "build" keeps changing

[@steel5897]

Imagine flashing this into a repo cartridge and selling it as a used copy of Mario 64 to someone.

[@clouddaemon4828]

I hope this will give new life to the whole mysteries of mario64 things like the iceberg, personalization and so on

[@Scrufflord]

BRO this is exactly like one of my dreams where there was hundreds of levels and no matter how many you played, there always seemed like there was another level in a different place in the castle. And yes the castle was as confusing as it is in this hack

[@Borti_Ovi]

This really is like Super Mario 64 Yume Nikki on Dream Simulator 1995: Bad Vibes Deluxe Personalized Edition Player’s Choice! 32:58 Vinny seemed upset seeing that picture on the wall; but that almost felt like home to me because that looks like the terrain from Bianco Hills!

[@ultimateslayerguy]

Ah yeah my favorite Mario catchphrase: "YEAH!". Just like how I remembered it after all these years. Good times

[@dana-wrath]

beta mario be like _H O O H_

[@peony4175]

The whole segment of the "wet dry world" is the Ocarina of Time beta Castle Town. It's really cool, so much beta stuff in OoT didn't make it in, and I wish it did!

[@Moonhack95]

no it's not?

[@Mgamerz]

Some of the songs on these levels are really atmospheric and I'm really digging them.

[@ngwoo]

Joheim did a hell of a job cleaning this one up, good find Vinny.

[@impermanentLucidity]

This feels like how, you hear about the Shining, how Kubrick would move around things in-between shots to make the viewer feel uncomfortable, because they'd subconsciously recognize that things were out of place. That's how this game feels like.

[@astra3766]

To answer what that yellow switch did, it randomized the “personalization values” of the game These track various things you’ve done and adjust the game accordingly For example, if you’re playing well and not getting hit or dying often, it will adjust itself to be harder If you’re playing poorly, it will adjust itself to be easier And as you saw, it has some other strange effects that it can do, such as giving stars or removing your hat

[@apricotluma]

Man, this looks amazing for a game that was owned by the pope in 1991 before he killed himself with a gun he got from Adam Sandler after doing an occult ritual with the cartridge.

[@scopes1812]

So glad vinny is playing Mario 64 again. Personally I like the 3003135 build more though.

[@AmiKillREAL]

I see what you did there

[@Rob23765]

177013 is the best build

[@m.s.398]

26:37 "Also, lemme know how 2024 is." it's ok at least.

[@FormOfKorn]

Man the first Bob-Omb quoting a Megadeth lyric certainly threw me for a loop.

[@MarshalHopalop]

I love how even the text is liminal/weird. Like, it's helpful and coherent but often phrased in such a strange roundabout, sorta vague way.

[@MochaRitz]

The definition of liminal is getting stretched a lot lately

[@hiide0us123]

Bruh just say "surreal". That's not at all what liminal means :')

[@DracRio]

0:40 Wow, I LOVE how this build’s File Select Screen sounds, oh my god

[@RadikAlice]

Even if some of this is made up, them and the beta recreation bits fill me with the same uneasy and uncanny feelings that seeing actual beta content within, or inserted back in does. Like, unfinished early areas in Zelda there's a creepy emptiness to it at times. Doesn't happen nearly as much with 2D, or later 3D games tho is that just me? Like Majora's Mask itself is creepy, but Ben Drowned permanently left a mark and enhanced the game for me. A bit that _is_ beta content and always gave me that eeriness is the slides. And I finally made the connection at around 37:50, the show mentioned here is likely Nintendo Spaceworld. So I guess that's the context for this hack, a lost and found Spaceworld demo with creepy stuff underneath

[@HidekiNero]

Bro calls out viewers in 2024... Damn got me, I have no idea if this year is better

[@goldgalaxy3559]

Kamek: Mario, don’t you realize that in the multiverse there’s an infinite amount of Super Mario 64 beta levels and if that spell gets loose they’re all coming here! (Spell proceeds to get loose)

[@snowboundmage]

the 3 goombas thing is a vanilla 64 thing, it's how they spawn. pannenkoek did a video on it

[@darkagestreams5207]

Joheim is truly a twisted individual for discovering this in the city of Atlantis

[@georgeblackwell7435]

26:38 I mean yeah, 2024 so far has been a good year, we got some game sequels and development which benefits much of our virtual entertainment

[@NumberJ42]

He barely scratched the surface hope he plays more of this in the future.

[@Touhou101]

Super Mario: Shattered Memories

[@PastDoctorXII]

I will never tire of seeing this man play Super Mario 64

[@tjsase]

I'd love to play this once it's finished!! Part of me wishes there were more locked doors to ease the player into exploration of the castle, but that would also ruin the feeling of getting lost in the castle, which might be more the point. It's more geared to an eerie experience rather than making completionism convenient.

[@_bugiwugi_]

mama mia, i slammed-a ma pingors in-a da car door

[@KaeraNeko]

50:24 oh hell yes! that's the music from Toad Town in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. one of the best tracks from the entire game, imo.

[@missingno9848]

Fun fact the reason goombas always seem like they are in groups of three and huddled together in sm64 is because thats how they spawn and if i remember correctly its the reason its impossible to get all the coins in sm64 since a goomba spawns in the death barrier in one of the bowser stages
