Super Mario 64 Big Star Secret: Difference between revisions

The video, of course, has to do with unlocking [[wikipedia:Luigi|Luigi]], and it begins with a handful of steps on how to do so; all of this was impressively made with [[wikipedia:Windows Movie Maker 2|Windows Movie Maker 2]].<ref name="LMWDiscord" /> At first, the steps are shown on the black screen, before Lotus begins doing what the steps say at the beginning. One of the instructions includes running around the [https://www.mariowiki.com/Main_Courtyard_Entrance courtyard statue]<ref group="note">The courtyard statue is referred 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> for a certain amount of time.

As the player is about to do so, a [[K-fee]] zombie would then appear on the screen, suddenly interrupting the video. However, it is rumored that if one can see far enough, Lotus can be seen going against the wall before the actual [[screamer]], but this rumor has not yet been confirmed. The video shortly ended with the credits appearing from the top. The video used to have three different music, including as for the game-play and the credits, but it was muted due to copyright issues. 

==Background==

This one is among the Super Mario 64 screamer videos that appear from its old days, which all had to do with the urban legend. The video was apparently based on "[https://www.mariowiki.com/List_of_rumors_and_urban_legends_about_Mario#Gameplay L is real 2046]",<ref>[https://screamer.wiki/images/b/bc/LMWDiscord8.png LMW Discord #2]</ref><ref>[https://screamer.wiki/images/f/f8/LMWDiscord9.png LMW Discord #3]</ref> an urban legend that started after it was once believed that a message from the courtyard plaque was a code to unlock Luigi, an unplayable character in [[wikipedia:Super Mario 64|Super Mario 64]]. The video has shown other steps aside from using a code to unlock the character. This urban legend has long since been debunked, kind of.

Lotus has confirmed that the [[screamer]] took place inside the castle, mostly in the courtyard, rather than the ones claiming to have took place in the Bob-Omb Battlefield. Lotus mentioned that Mario has entered to an "alternate dimension", where textures (from which he drawn in MS Paint) are glitching out, possibly due to low memory issues with the emulator. On September 16, 2020, Lotus made two screenshots<ref>https://screamer.wiki/File:Mario_64_Screamer_Remake.png</ref><ref>https://screamer.wiki/File:Mario_64_Screamer_Remake_2.png</ref> as a remake such as for the thumbnail (depiction of Mario standing in front of the courtyard statue) and some part featuring Mario next to the castle.
