The video itself, 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|Windows Movie Maker 2]].<ref name="LMWDiscord" /> At first, the steps are shown on a 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/Courtyard_(Peach%27s_Castle) courtyard statue]<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> for a certain amount of time. After the part where Lotus tells the player to kick the Boo, they are then told to press "A" on the wall<ref>https://www.neoseeker.com/forums/1191/t1145970-rumors/4.htm</ref> as being the final step. As the player is about to do so, the [[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 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 the game. 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's audio has been muted to avoid copyright issues, so it was replaced with [https://009-sound-system.fandom.com/wiki/Dreamscape 009 Sound System's Dreamscape theme] in 2010. The video originally had a set of three music, such as "[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B58OBfM-8A4 Whispers in the Dark]" by [[wikipedia:Skillet|Skillet]] at the start,<ref>[https://screamer.wiki/images/8/8b/LMWDIscord2.png LMW Discord #7]</ref> and "Those Chosen by the Planet" from ''[[wikipedia:Final Fantasy VII|Final Fantasy VII]]'' in the second half and the credits.<ref>[https://screamer.wiki/images/4/4a/LMWDiscord5.png LMW Discord #6]</ref><ref>[https://screamer.wiki/images/7/77/LMWDiscord3.png LMW Discord #8]</ref> However, the music that played in the beginning was often mistaken<ref>[https://screamer.wiki/images/9/97/LMWDiscord1.png LMW Discord #9]</ref> as "[[wikipedia:Bring Me To Life|Bring Me To Life]]" by Evanescence, according to many witnesses. The video might have been deleted because of the copyright strike in 2012.<ref>[https://screamer.wiki/images/c/c9/LMWDiscord11.png LMW Discord #10]</ref> At some time, 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(sic) [[YouTube]] recommends it for audio swaps when they screw you over.''"<ref>[https://screamer.wiki/images/b/bf/LMWDiscord4.png LMW Discord #11]</ref>

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!)"].
