ok lore explainer without spoilers here goes: - this is based on fictional copies of the game that are personalized to be different. this works by using an AI that changes the game based on the player's experience with the game (changing levels, adding/removing enemies, messing up the game). in this story the AI's power is beyond its control and it's trying to get the player to stop playing - the wario head is a famous urban legend where in personalized copies, a floating wario head would chase the player and cause weird side effects if mario was caught. - cold cold crevasse and the fourth floor were rumored areas in personalized copies. cold cold crevasse was a fabricated snowy cave level, and the fourth floor was an anomalous changing extra floor of the castle. - the faceless mario in this is series the embodiment of the personalization AI, speaking to the player directly. it is NOT mario, but a different character with a different name - the different HUD, mario voice, textures, and areas (like peach's castle not having a staircase) are all from beta versions of the game - jim's character is expanded upon GREATLY in season 2. - the ending of the last tape in season 1 didn't actually happen.
If you wonder why the voice's different, that's because it was a placeholder voice. The well known Charles Martinet's voice was used only in the retail release.
interesting that you mention the _"isolation vibe"_ specifically in the second video as it's commonly agreed that Wet Dry World, level 11 (the one showcased in the video) has a weird negative emotion aura that is hard to pinpoint the why
Not sure if you’ll see this, but that floating Wario head is known as the Wario Apparition. It is part of the very popular creepypasta “Every copy of Mario 64 is personalized.” It is said that the Wario apparition causes those who encounter it to experience memory loss and stroke-like symptoms Not actually in the game itself obviously, but it was originally part of an old Nintendo trailer which featured Wario’s head floating in the Dire Dire Docks stage
7:40 I don't know if you've heard of B3313 but it's a really weird liminal romhack of sm64. It encapsulates all the liminality of sm64 but makes it even more liminal and creepy. There are a crazy amount of worlds and it's really easy to get lost. I would really love seeing you play it.
This is uncanny because of its nostalgic background. I didn’t grow up playing SM64 but with Machinima videos. So it has an eerie sense of familiarity and comfort. That’s what makes it so effective
That gray half pyramid thingy near the moat that u wondering what it looks like at 13:23 is the cannon u use to get on top of the castle, my mother played a lot of super Mario 64 so I know what that thing does lol
The every copy is personalized is more accurate with all fan mods out today than it ever truly was for console gaming on the N64 I troll mods horror mods even a giant confusing castle mod that feels like a mix of fan recreation of old E3 demos and horror
I remember the EBS comes up anytime.. it will now but its just a automated voice thats comes through what ur watching.....I also remember when a new system 64,&playstation...then theyd do it for new games came out u could play it at the store
Pleeease do react to the second half, it's all worth it especially for the Epilogue. You get more story, you get a deeper look into the ai itself. Annie worked really hard on this analog horror ever since the "Every Copy Of SM64 Is Personalized" Stuff was really popular back in 2020-2021. I've been waiting for one of my favorite RU-vidrs/Analog Horror reactors to watch this for so long.
so the wario head is called the wario apparation it is said it can cuase sezuires to the player it was based of a thing nintendo did at e3 its meant to chase you down the castle basement
people are scared of analog horror but the real horror is big nose tv man he's inside the tv and he pokes you with his big nose big tv nose man is scarier
Yo man. Great video I saw this weird dragon ball horror series on yt i was wondering what your opinion is? Its not really a analog horror but more a lovecraftian horror series... but its very different from any other horror series on yt. Its on the ignotus reborn yt channel
In all honesty, hearing Mario scream in pain when he gets burned is hilarious to me. From then on to Mario Odyssey, it has been my favorite pain sound.
I think after seeing this with my brother after the AI's did this all and killed them selfs Nintendo made new people up for games going forward so all the Mario people we grow up and loved we're not the real ones after the N64
