Super Mario 64 Big Star Secret was an infamous lost screamer video based on Mario 64. The video was first uploaded to YouTube by the user Adam "LotusMan17" Bounds on August 15th, 2007, but was later deleted in late-2012 with no archives of the video from the time it surfaced whatsoever. Although the link is archived once, but not the actual video itself. The video was very popular and had gained more than 600,000 views at its peak, leading many people who watched the video searched for it. Lost Media Wiki (LMW), a wiki-community of users trying to found lost medias, began searching for the screamer. The video itself claims to found a way to unlock a non-existent character in M64 Luigi and is provided with a handful of steps, at which point would lead to a screamer.
Content
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.
In the reaction video, there's another part that wasn't mentioned in the description is Mario going up to the stairs. It was until the man who records the video tries to skip half of the video, only almost at the end of the screamer, where Lotus focuses and instructs the viewer[1] to press "A" on the wall. A K-fee zombie then appears from there on, scaring the kid away.
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 "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 on the other hand. 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 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 credits. However, the music that plays in the beginning was often mistaken as "Bring Me To Life" by Evanescence, according to by 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 009 Sound System's Dreamscape theme is "one of the those YouTube recommends it for audio swaps when they screw you over."
