This particular video purportedly | The [[screamer]] video in question is one of many that originated during the early days of Super Mario 64 and revolved around an urban legend. This particular video purportedly centred on the "L is real 2046" urban legend, which began after it was rumoured that a message on a courtyard plaque contained a code to unlock Luigi, an unplayable character in the game. In addition to using a code to unlock the character, the video showcased other steps to do so. It is worth noting that this urban legend has since been largely debunked.<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><ref>[https://screamer.wiki/images/f/f8/LMWDiscord9.png LMW Discord #3]</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!)"].
