Super Mario 64 has taken a turn the past few years. Liminal space this, personalized copy that, why is SM64 a hotbed for so many theories? In this Video Game World Tour, we look at all that and more.

Fun fact: When you first visit Jolly Roger Bay, there is a mystic fog and the sky is damp and moody. After collecting a few starts, the sky clears and the fog vanishes forever. No other level does anything like it, and it's subtle touches like these that can really highten the atmosphere.

I had the strategy guide, and distinctly remember saying that you could possibly use the boosted triple-jump Yoshi gives you at the end to 'find something new.' Don't remember the exact wording, but there you have it.

I didn't even know this "boosted triple jump" existed! That's crazy. I've heard a lot about old magazines and strategy guides trolling in the 90s/00s. I think Sonic and Tails in Melee is one of the more well known ones. Those are great, because you don't expect a magazine to pull a trick like that.

@@PretzelYT Damn dude, glad I was able to inform you of something new about the game after the excellent vid you made. To address what you've said, if you were a Nintendo kid during the 64 days, Nintendo Power put out their own strategy guides. The one for Ocarina of Time was particularly interesting, because it actually *narrated* what you were supposed to do. Instead of, for example, saying "Once Gannondorf fails to catch his energy ball and falls, use the hookshot to pull yourself over to his platform etc etc" it would say something like "Link, felling his mortal nemesis and the destroyer of Hyrule, realized he needed his hookshot to close the gap. Out it flew, becoming anchored in the folds of the Evil One's cape, giving our hero just enough time to pull himself over to the platform and deliver blow after blow." On the other hand, there was a whole slew of 'unauthorized' strategy guides published by Prima and Brady that gave it to you straight. Those were very interesting, and Brady even made one for Superman 64 that I was able to find on Amazon

I heard somewhere that, in the game's early days, someone sent fan mail to Nintendo inquiring about the impracticality of the castle, and an employee responded saying Peach's Castle in SM64 was actually just a secondary backup castle to store Peach's paintings! So, if anything, the castle is actually supposed to be an art museum! I believe it's thought that Bowser had something to do with the paintings, but if anything, maybe he just applied magic to the surfaces of Peach's existing paintings to allow for transporation?

The thing I like about Mario 64 is the primitive and liminal feel of every location. The levels have been designed simply to host obstacles for the player to avoid, so you never stop to think about the logistics of the world or why things are placed where they are or what relation it has to other levels. Peach’s castle for example doesn’t feel like a proper castle, which adds to the unusual feel.

Hazy Maze Cave always seemed a little out of place to me. In the cavern with Dorrie, there's a pool of water similar to the one you use to enter the stage, that transports you to a new area. Kind of like a level within a level. And if you get swept out the cavern by the river, you somehow end up in the waterfall outside Peach's castle. Huh? Was the cave behind the waterfall this whole time, or are there portals aside from paintings? Another addition to the many strange parts of the game.

I love Jolly Roger bay, I get crazy nostalgia mostly bcos I associate it with a certain morning I was playing Mario 64. My mum and grandma (especially as my grandma lives in another country so it was a rare visit) looking at coffee, my brother and dad asleep in their rooms, the rest of us in the living room. I hear the theme play as I open the DS playing and I’m sat on this chair we’ve had longer than I’m alive.

Wet Dry World IS my favorite world of Mario64. You talk about the underwater town, but even further than that, one has to wonder the constructions Above the town, and then also, pay attention to the skybox of Wet Dry World, unique only to it. While it's long been known that it's an edited photo of a real place IRL, the fact that it implies there's this vast watery-based civilization all in this world is just... captivating and mysterious. As a famous KZbinr by the name of NintendoCapriSun often quips in his LPs when encountering these chill zones and comfy nooks or untouched crannies "I would sleep here."

Being 10 in 1998 playing this must have been pure bliss. That said, there's definitely something about this game. I'll try to put my finger on it. It has small details that make the experience feel uncanny and sarcastic at times. They throw realistic textures on a more simple 3D space and it feels liminal. The levels are very compacted but they create an illusion of being bigger which produces a peculiar anguish. After hours of playing at midnight, at one point it hits something primal. With the painted walls and tiny stairs, the main room in the castle is very similar to how I'd imagine a psych ward. The music is a bit hysterical too. It doesn't help that Lakitu is canonically the camera behind Mario and it's revealed through a random mirror. Details like the sign on the star statue give a sensation that something just has to be hidden in the game. At many points the game pulls horror shticks that are distinctly successful like the eel, the piano, the boo wheel, the bowser laugh, his painting, the infinite staircase and more. The whole game feels dreamy in a wicked way. There's a N64 game called Glover that takes these unintentional uncanny faults to the extreme, but other more famous franchises like Zelda don't really feel like this, despite being N64.

I suspect the mysterious feel owes itself in part to how the Mario 64 that shipped is cut down to less than half of what it would have been if they didn't run way behind schedule on getting the hang of designing difficulty for 3D. Miyamoto even had to ask to delay the Nintendo 64 a few months so they could finish up what they DID have properly. (Takashi Tezuka gave an interview to Nintendo Power during development where he said "Currently, we have 32 courses, but the final version may have more. Maybe 40 courses. That doesn't include bonus areas, of course." ...but the shipped game only has 15 levels.) Games that get cut down so drastically always feel a bit weird. (eg. the indie game Aquaria has this really weird arc where you slam into the final section when the pacing up to that point has made it feel like you should only be half-way through the game.)

If you enjoy mystery and exploration, go play Outer Wilds. I'm pretty sure it's on sale right now, so get it with the DLC. The game is about exploring a Solar System, and you're in a time loop trying to figure out what's going on. I can't say anything else, because spoilers. Although I mostly agree with your take on your video about guides, DO NOT LOOK ANYTHING UP FOR THIS GAME. The game uses knowledge based progression, so if you can't figure something out, it may be because you haven't found other relevant information. To anyone reading this, I would highly recommend putting it at the top of the list of games you're going to play next.

I see some people pointing to things like Elden Ring for games that keep that bit of mystery going. I talked about it a bit in my video on Final Fantasy VII Remake, there's a window of time after a game like that's release where nobody knows the game's secrets. After a couple weeks, maybe a month, those secrets start to be datamined and documented. But for that first week or two, it's a magical experience the whole community shares. So while the childhood wonderment of some game you played in your childhood is irreplaceable, it's good to know that some games can still capture that magic.

You, as a developer, have to TRY to make a game as unintentionally erie as SM64

I really don't feel like Mario 64 was anymore mysterious than any other of the main Mario game that came before it imo I feel like it's kind of become a meme when the entire series was always mysterious I remember being creeped the hell out in Super Mario World by the secret worlds and especially when you completed them all how suddenly all the bad guys turned into different things

@Pretzel: Super mario 64 inspired two creepy pasta, Super mario 64 B3313, and the backroom, the creepy pasta the back room is not a video game, but just a creepy pasta horor story, about science fiction, of what if really giant powerfull magnet can open a portal to another dimmension, and that other dimension is called the backroom.

It’s like « L » refer to « Lucifer » as Mario 64 looks like an initiating game to the freemasonry. Starting by the black and white floor, white glove of Mario, pyramids of Egypt levels, magical things, pentacle stars ⭐️ mystical atmosphere… it’s wired… It’s like an initiation to the world of freemasonry. So don’t be fooled. I played this game as a child and I didn’t realize the real meaning of these things…

64 isn't an initiating game to get into Freemasonry. You can just go and ask to join. They're not that secret or anything

I haven't. I didn't play it as a kid, so I don't really have a huge nostalgic connection to it. I don't wanna say I'll NEVER do a video on it, but if I were to, it'd be a while. I have a lot of games that mean a lot to me that I'd like to cover first.

"people have been playing the game for nearly two decades" -- even when this video was new, it was well over two decades, past halfway to three :) the passage of time sneaks up on us all....

😭You're completely right. I checked my script to see why I'd say that since the math is so simple, and I WROTE "over two decades". You can see it in the captions, I wrote "over" but say "nearly" for some reason. 💀I have no idea why I mixed them up like that.

I seem to be alone, but I've always found this one of the least atmospheric games ever. It just feels so sterile and boring. Not bright and fun, not creepy or uncanny, just stark and uninteresting.
