About

Super Mario 64 Conspiracy Theories refer to partially-humorous conspiracy theories regarding Super Mario 64 and its secrets and development. These theories revolve around unexplained videos and images, false memories, prerelease information, and unused content that theorists use in theories regarding the actual true purpose of Super Mario 64. One of the most popular is L Is Real, which was widely shared on Twitter in July 2020.

Origin

Theories and rumors about Super Mario 64 have circulated online regarding secret content in Super Mario 64 since release day, the most famous of these being "L is real 2401,"[5] a theory that stated Luigi could appear in the game and an almost-unreadable blurry plaque in the garden that can be read as "L Is Real 2401" may be a clue.

Spread

Conspiracy theories regarding Super Mario 64 began growing more prominent in late 2019 and early 2020. One of the earliest theories was known as "The Wario Apparition." "The Wario Appration" refers to a screenshot from a 1996 E3 video where Wario monologues to the viewer, while voiced by Charles Martinet. The earliest known instance of this screenshot appeared in a /v/ thread as early as November 2019. [3]





This screenshot has been referred to as the image of the "Wario Apparition", a ghost that manifests itself in select copies of Super Mario 64, and will eventually manifest itself in the real world.

That image is what its supposed to look like, but those who encountered it ingame can't even describe what it looked like as many suffer from memory loss and stroke-like symptoms. If you suspect you're seeing it ingame its suggested you shut the console off immediately because once you give it power by witnessing it, it gains power to begin manifesting itself in your reality.

Every Copy Of Super Mario 64 Is Personalized

Every Copy Of Super Mario 64 Is Personalized is a quote that refers to the belief that every copy created of Super Mario 64 differed from each other at release date. Conspiracy theorists recall false memories from childhood regarding Super Mario 64, where they remember a vivid event or location in Super Mario 64 that isn't found on copies in the present day. Conspiracy theorists use this in a theory postulating that Super Mario 64 contains a AI that modifies the game as the player plays.

The Bowser Room



The Bowser Room refers to a screenshot of a nonexistent room in Super Mario 64 depicting Mario standing in front of a picture of Bowser on the wall, which is called "The Bowser Room" by theorists and is said to be a real image. It was initially obscure until it was brought up on an OneyPlays Crash Bandicoot stream, from where its existence spread.

The fun with this game will never end. We'll BLJ, and our children's children will BLJ.

I always felt that these sort of prerelease images and footage of games always had an intangible mystique to them, especially ones from the N64 era. The night time version of inside Peach's Castle from its earlier design kind of non-verbally explains a feeling of intangibility that you long wish to satisfy by playing these games.

And when people dump a prototype copy of a game, that mystique is laid to rest.

Ultimate deepest theory: Nintendo’s early prototypes of SM64 were actually terrible, so they really did hire “this man” to use his incredible UE4 skills to make the game good. The discarded prototype was then found by an employee at Accolade and used to create Bubsy 3D.
