The video was first uploaded to YouTube by LotusMan17 on August 15th, 2007, and was then deleted from the channel in late 2012. Aside from being just a Mario screamer, this is a lost screamer that anyone still searches for. Yet even the people from Lost Media Wiki started hunting for the screamer from websites, which only lasted a year. A poorly made screamer about unlocking Luigi was enough to provoke a huge amount of search from everyone with information coming in hand recently. The video had amassed around 900,000 views at its peak.<ref name="LMWDiscord">[https://screamer.wiki/images/1/1c/LMWDiscord12.png LMW Discord #1]</ref> | ||

Created with [[wikipedia:Windows Movie Maker|Windows Movie Maker 2]],<ref name="LMWDiscord" /> the video in question shows the process of unlocking [[wikipedia:Luigi|Luigi]]. It starts by presenting a series of steps displayed on a black screen, followed by Lotus executing the actions shown in the beginning. One of the instructions involves circling the [https://www.mariowiki.com/Courtyard_(Peach%27s_Castle) courtyard statue] for a specific duration.<ref group="note">The courtyard statue is referred to by the screamer as the "big star" and the "big star secret" would mean to the urban legend known as L is real 2406.</ref> Subsequently, after instructing the player to kick the Boo, they are directed to press the "A" button on the wall<ref>https://www.neoseeker.com/forums/1191/t1145970-rumors/4.htm</ref> as the concluding step. Just as the player is about to do so, an abrupt appearance of the [[K-fee]] zombie (from the particular "Auto" commercial) interrupts the video. It is rumored that, if looked closely, one may see Lotus leaning against the wall before the actual screamer; however, this rumor remains unproven. The video ends with the credits scrolling down from the top. It is possible that the top of the credits said, "trolled lol". Originally, the video had three different songs for the gameplay and credits but muted because of copyright issues. | Created with [[wikipedia:Windows Movie Maker|Windows Movie Maker 2]],<ref name="LMWDiscord" /> the video in question shows the process of unlocking [[wikipedia:Luigi|Luigi]].

It's hard to tell because of the low quality, but one can see Mario climbing up the stairs and opening the door before the recorder proceeds to skip almost half of the screamer to the end part, where Lotus instructs the viewer to do the final step. After the screamer, the boy then runs away from the computer. Only what's left on the screen are the credits of the video. | There is only [[reaction video]] of this screamer, uploaded on February 5, 2008,<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPe1hlC7B1Q "Little brother getting scared.

A Portuguese user named Nazz uploaded a five-second video featuring a snapshot of the screamer. The uploader was questioned by a user from Lost Media Wiki about the screamer. He answered that it was found by one of his friends and was supposed to be taken from an old phone. Nazz also recorded his full reaction video to the screamer, but it was never found. The screenshot appears to be Mario jumping into the fountain at the back of the castle, where the courtyard statue is located.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20211104072827/https://www.reddit.com/r/lostmedia/comments/q6owst/super_mario_64_big_star_secret_new_image/ "Super Mario 64 Big Star Secret (New Image!)"].
