'''Super Mario 64 big star secret''' is a partially lost [[YouTube]] [[screamer]] video based on the "secret" from ''[[wikipedia:Super Mario 64|Super Mario 64]]''. 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>

On September 8, 2015, a Screamer Wiki user named [[User:SCL|SCL]] (also known as Socoollogos on FANDOM) posted his concern about the screamer on a thread in the Screamer Forum. One user also discovered the screamer as SCL was concerned about. He tried finding the screamer through the [[Wayback Machine]], but only to find that no archives of the video had been made yet. The user also mentioned that an annotation popped up during the video, where Lotus said he would remove the video because he was receiving hate. The reply had a different link to a reaction video, but it was private.<ref>http://web.archive.org/web/20190822024248/https://screamer.fandom.com/wiki/Thread:4199</ref> However, there are many posts about this screamer besides this thread. A YouTuber Mahlv also uploaded his concerns about the lost Mario 64 screamer to [[YouTube]] in August 2020. Another documentary was then shortly followed at a later date, where he talks about the screamer being hunted by the Lost Media Wiki and other information.

There are no copies of the video that could possibly be found, which is pretty obvious. The only thing that one could find in searching for the update description and its thumbnail. The updated description says, "''The video was done out of complete boredom, and yet people still wish to leave hateful comments. Therefore, commenting has been disabled.''" So, this could be the truth behind why Lotus deleted the video: because of how many death threats and hate comments he had received, rather than saying it was accidental. The thumbnail and updated description are more likely found on its Facebook page, which was created in late 2011.<ref><s>[https://bit.ly/3msR5q6 SM64 screamer Facebook page]</s></ref>

~~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. Late reaction"].

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.

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.
