The video, of course, has to do with unlocking Luigi that it provide with a handful of steps on how to do so; all of this was impressively done with Windows Movie Maker 2. For most of the time, Lotus begins doing what the steps say at the beginning, going in for almost five minutes. A few instructions includes kicking a boo, walk around the fountain from the castle courtyard and more. The tutorial ends here: Lotus tells the viewer to press "A" on the wall. Just as the viewer is about to do so, a zombie from the [[K-fee commercial]] appears with a loud scream. However, as far as one can see, Lotus can be seen going against the wall in seconds before the screamer, but it is unknown what this could possibly lead to. Later on, the video ended with credits appearing from the top of the screen, while "Those Chosen by the Planet" from Final Fantasy VII plays in the background. | The video, of course, has to do with unlocking Luigi that it provide with a handful of steps on how to do so; all of this was impressively done with Windows Movie Maker 2.

It was until the man who records the video tries to skip entire of the video, expect almost at the end of the screamer, where Lotus focuses and instructs the viewer<ref>https://www.neoseeker.com/forums/1191/t1145970-rumors/4.htm</ref> to press "A" on the wall. A [[K-fee]] zombie then appears from there on, scaring the kid away. | ||

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 "L is real 2046", an urban legend that started after it was once believed that a message from the courtyard plaque ("big star" referred to by the screamer") was a code to unlock Luigi, an unplayable character in Super Mario 64. The video has shown other steps aside from using a code to unlock the character | 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 "L is real 2046", an urban legend that started after it was once believed that a message from the courtyard plaque ("big star" referred to by the screamer") was a code to unlock Luigi, an unplayable character in 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. | ||
The video | The video is recorded on the computer screen with a flip-phone, which is believed to be a Motorola RAZR V3. Lotus had made changes on the castle using the editor "Toad’s Tool 64" to place the door in the right wall of the main lobby's staircase and to change Mario's shirt to be blue and overalls to black. Lotus had done other changes besides using the level editor, which all of them were drawn from MSPaint because he was unable to export the in-game textures at that time. | ||
In the video, Lotus had recorded the screen of his computer with a flip-phone (believed to be a Motorola RAZR V3) to "give it a more genuine look." He had modified the castle with the level editor "Toad’s Tool 64" to add a door to the right wall next to the main lobby’s staircase and to change Mario’s shirt to be blue and his overalls to be black. A few other changes were made in the level-editor, such as the swapping of the castle’s gray brick texture to a black one that Lotus himself created in MS Paint. | |||
The video's audio has been muted to avoid copyright issues, so it was replaced with 009 Sound System's Dreamscape theme in 2010. The video originally had a set of three music, such as "Whispers in the Dark" by Skillet at the start, and "Those Chosen by the Planet" from Final Fantasy VII in the second half and the credits. However, the music that played in the beginning was often mistaken as "Bring Me To Life" by Evanescence, according to many witnesses. Lotus also said that an email was sent to him, which offered him to put "Database" by Alexander Pearls for almost US $40, which he accepted later on. When questioned about the audio swap, Lotus explained that it's "one of the those YouTube recommends it for audio swaps when they screw you over." | |||
However, some people claimed that it took place on the Bob-Omb Battlefield, Lotus later confirmed that it happened inside the castle, mostly in the courtyard. He also mentioned that Mario also entered an "alternate dimension" in the video, where the textures appeared to be glitching out, possibly due to low memory issues with the emulator. On September 16, 2020, Lotus made two screenshots 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 that's modified like in the screamer. | |||
There are no copies of the video could possibly be found, which is pretty obvious. The only thing that one could find in searching is the update description and its thumbnail. The updated description tells "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 of why Lotus deleted the video because of how many death threats and hate comments he had received, rather than saying it's accidental. Both the thumbnail and updated description are more likely found through its Facebook page made from late-2011. | |||
