The last cartoon segment with Mario and Luigi was actually really heartfelt and I loved it. When Luigi said, “When your not around, it’s like I’m not around”, that got me 😢
thats not it, thats not because he was so kind for his brother and was careful..it was for something dark. That line he said has a dark meaning, and yes, really really dark. The line is a hint for the own game, for Luigi’s existence. If Mario doesnt exist, Luigi also wouldn’t. Thats how Games actually work. So without Mario being there, Luigi is just..not there. So no Mario = No Luigi. Yes, its true
Mario's drowned body from 9.02.97 still being there in this episode implies the idea that Luigi's body after drowning in Promo Show is still there. And I love that, it gives it that episodic connection to the series.
I am a Japanese who can't even speak another language well, but I fell right into your world. I am sad to see Horror Mario 64 come to an end.Thank you so much, Greenio. ありがとう、Greenio！
23:50 I actually felt really uneasy when I began slowly hearing the Stairs music just barely in earshot, then the chomping sound. Even though it's been two years since I last heard of the whole Wario thing, I STILL knew what it was. And I actually felt uncomfortable. The "something is coming from far away" scenario has always been a little fear of mine and the build-up was so awesome. 20:23 And wow. Going through the mirror! I never thought I'd see the day. I always tried to do that as a 4 year old toddler because even though I knew it was a mirror, it also looked like more territory to explore. I love that these new Mario 64 "secrets" just tamper with your Nintendo nostalgia in a way nothing ever has before.
Those animation segments for me were emotional. The whole time I was watching this live, I felt depressed whenever I saw Luigi, mainly the part where he glitches repeating the phrase "They love ya!" And seeing Mario upset like he knew something bad would happen and had the fear of losing his brother again looming throughout this tape. That last part when Luigi says he feels like he doesn't exist without Mario and saying that he would always be with him only for Mario to turn around to see Luigi missing. The only question I have is, what was Jim going through when he was writing this script?
By this part of the story Jim is starting to go a little insane, but I actually think that maybe Mario is trapped inside the A.I., and due to Mario wanting Luigi to be with him so desperately, the A.I. conjured up a Luigi. And since the A.I. is clearly going through pain throughout the course of the video, the A.I. is in too much pain to keep Luigi going, so the A.I. has to remove him.
The way I see it, it's like this Mario was diagnosed with PTSD/Schizophrenia. Every time Mario stops thinking about Luigi, he just.. Disappears. Like when Mario was letting the footage of the E3 build and possibly watching it, he stopped thinking about Luigi. And when the footage ended, it took a while for Mario to realize what was missing, and as soon has he had the answer, Luigi came back. Mario, at this part, was not thinking the right way, which was one of the main causes to his utter silence throughout the second segment. Whatever Joke, quote, action, he expects Luigi to do, it happens. Mario even expects when the laugh track will play. Tracing back to two sentences before, while Luigi was speaking his usual puns, Mario was possibly realizing something was wrong/out of the ordinary. Were there actually audiences? Is there a reason to the predictable thinking? As Mario was becoming more aware of this unusual hint, he began to expect a sentence, and Luigi says: "Not like it changes much, just hear 'em! They love ya'!" That's the moment where Mario begins to mentally lose grip of the senario; Luigi's last sentence keep repeating whilst the "audience" kept laughing, and laughing.. And at the final part of the second segment, Mario gets his grip back last minute to realize... There was no audience. Third segment, Luigi comforts Mario, trying to get him out of his new train of thought. He also states: "Somehow when you're not around, it's.. It's like I'm not around." The best way I can explain this quote to match my theory is that every time Mario doesn't think about Luigi, he's simply not around, and thus Luigi isn't around either. He also mentions that if Mario didn't want to do the show anymore, he'll still stick with him. After Mario gives into Luigi's words, he says: "Alright, you got me. Let's go home." But Luigi wasn't there. It was probably to show that Mario wasn't talking to anybody the whole time, and it was all in his head of hallucination. Due to the events of "Promo Show" Mario is still not over the death of his brother Luigi, and the only way he can cope with it at that moment was to keep him living in his head, and turns out, he got too used to it. Honestly, really sad for me to think about. Take this theory with a grain of salt, for I'm still not sure PTSD/Schizophrenia's symptoms tie to these events, but let me know-
I’d like to just say, that this entire series was great. I know many have said that, but I believe there is a theme that we can take away from this. Loss. No, not the comic, but grief, loss, and death of a loved one. Mario, representing someone, lost their greatest man Luigi, representing that person’s brother. I think it is important to note the scene where Luigi comforts Mario when the break the fourth wall, and the quotes “FORGET HIM” In a brighter perspective, if you lose a loved one, don’t forget them. Hold them close to your heart, and don’t let the pain linger with you forever, because in the end it isn’t your fault, and they still love you. Luigi, even if dead, still loves Mario, because he’s his brother. That’s what brothers do. Although it is more spiritual, but love is eternal. The series, and Luigi, may have come to an end, but they live on in our hearts. We’ve been through this due to the loss of important people in the past years such as Technoblade, who people loved very much, but they never let him “die”. Technoblade never dies, etc. As Greenio says, all things must come to an end, and that’s the sad truth. What matters however, is that it lives on in our hearts, our souls, and everything else. In the end, none of us are really dead, or over. We’re just somewhere else.
I'm a Sonic person but dude that was a real fact. I won't do the nerd saying that in a game, "MaRiO cRuShEs ThE sHoE oF lUiGi", but yeah, they are brothers after all.
So... (Spoilers below) ...Jim did it. He finally let Stanley go. He got rid of the auto_enhance, the whole thing. Fantastic job, Mary. Fan-freaking-tastic.
All the references (that I could find) 11:30 Reference to the iceberg theory that there was something behind the eel's home 13:56 The ship is (possibly) the same as the B-roll ship model 18:50 Reference to the iceberg image showing a distorted peach's castle, also could be seen as the "Interal Castle Plexus" 20:46 The white room is an obvious reference to SM64DS, just now with a door in it 21:12 Is a callback to "01.22.96" even having a drowned Mario from that video 24:20 The endless staircase music + the chomping sound being an obvious reference to The Wario Apparition 26:20 The hallway with the 4 paths and boo's being a reference to a personalized SM64 image that was floating around at the time of the peak of the trend 26:28 The center area could possibly be a 4th floor (not the one in classified) reference with the hole in the roof but I could be wrong 27:05 The Toad statue being a callback to the classified version of the 4th floor (or 07.29.95 to be exact) 27:31 The core from "07.29.95" appears down a small hallway 28:01 The staircase leading to a door being another reference to another personalized image that was also floating around 31:00 While not being a "reference" is basically a more refined version of Jim's speech from "07.29.95" which was later cut
I don't have a time stamp, but I believe when the main castle area first gets desolate, the large wall which contains what appears to be a dirt texture could be a reference to the haunted dirt texture - especially since it appears to have some form of facial like features? Thanks for making this list by the way!
Breaking news: Mario managed to snap in half two keys, but being serious coming back to the series in 2024 makes me very glad that some things don’t last forever, thank you
I'm so glad Stanley was finally able to become the Super Mario 64 (July 29th, 1995 Build) in the end, I'm proud of them This series definitely went out with a bang; I love your Mario and Luigi designs for the Nintendo Mania segments, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of melancholy once everything started wrapping up, what a sendoff to a nearly 3 year old journey!
I couldn't think of a better way to end this series, everything about this episode was fantastic. The levels were amazing, I could totally see them being real cut levels, while still having that mysterious aura to them. It was nice to see Mario & Luigi be the hosts, they were well written and looked great. The story was also nicely wrapped up. Although this series as a whole really got me to think about something. "Thanks for playing Super Mario 64! This is the end of the game, but not the end of the fun." Mario 64 may've ended, but the fun didn't. Through ROM Hacks, animations, fan projects and these tapes, Mario 64 has continued to live on. There may not actually be a spooky Personalization AI in Mario 64, nor is there some spooky Wario Apparition or a 4th Floor to the castle. However one thing from this series is true... Nintendo's Fun is Eternal.
This series was perfect. Not from the lens of a horror fan, but that of someone who grew up infatuated with those few beta screenshots of Mario 64, Mario 64 creepypasta, and the L is Real myth. This series captured that wonder in me once again with the beta assets, environments that seemed both familiar yet new, and sound design and music that was *just* off. I look forwards to re-watching the whole series in-order to properly learn about the story you are telling here, both because it truly is so well made and because any story I took in throughout this experience has been overshadowed by how much I enjoyed staring at the level and enemy designs, and listening to it all. Thank you, and I wish for your future projects can inherit the amazing wonder that you have presented here.
I love SM64 Classified, the whole "SM64 is personalized" thing felt like a dream and seeing Classified push that to perfection was incredible. Something tells me we won't be getting a series like this for a long while _(Beside a potential reboot I keep hearing about lol)_ But regardless this has me subscribed and ready to see more projects from you. Love this series, and I loved the epilogue.
Wouldn't take murmurs about a reboot too seriously LOL A lot of times I'll say I do something because of how into the idea I am, without really considering how feasible it would be or whether I *_really_* am willing to give that kind of commitment. Still, thanks a lot for this comment :]
Date of videotape recording: May 13th, 1996 - September 3rd, 1997. Time of videotape recording: 12:34 PM - 08:14 AM Current withholder of videotape: A UA-camr by the identity of "Greenio", known for publishing prerelease VHS tape footage of Nintendo's 1996 video game for the Nintendo 64, aptly named "Super Mario 64." The tape starts off with a phone call, presumably from one of the developers. It soon ends and a title card appears, claiming that the tape is for internal usage only. Soon after, a flashy intro animation shows up, relating to a Nintendo-promoted show titled "Nintendo Mania" (Not to be confused with it's LATAM counterpart). The short briefly starts off with the two titular brothers, Mario and Luigi, cracking some jokes and briefly promoting the newest game that Nintendo had at the time, "Super Mario 64", in its more prerelease state (presumably E3 1996), with the show and brothers overall taking a"Hanna-Barbera style" design, if you will. It soon cuts to the actual game itself, with our player controlling Mario in what looks to be a room with a pendulum, a locked door in the middle of the room, and two doors which seem to be blocked with bricks, all of which come up with the text saying "YOU HAVE A BAD FEELING FROM THIS WALL. BEST TO FORGET ABOUT IT", before Mario enters one of the not so blocked off doors, and enters one of the paintings in said room. The room in which he enters seems to have a very lush nature design, with a small lake in the center, and the tree stumps acting as a sort of passageway towards that painting. Flowers can be seen on the sides as the sunlight shines through the windows as Mario makes his way towards the painting. Mario soon lands on a massive tree stump, and appears to be in some sort of jungle-forest type area, where he briefly explores around it for a while, doing his usual antics. He soon enters a teleportation area in another tree stump, and soon gets transported to the top of another chopped off tree. He soon talks to the pink Bomb-omb on his side after defeating a Piranha Plant, to which said Bomb makes the cannon accessible. Mario soon makes his way to the cannon, via numerous tree stumps, and soon gets to it. He launches himself towards an island and collects another red coin, pushes a button, proceeds to jump on some soon to be disappearing blocks, and swing on some vines that soon lead him to his desired location, only for him to fall as he makes a mistake. He soon corrects this action by getting to his location, promptly finishes collecting all of the red coins, proceeds to run towards the star he earned, and collect it. After he does so, the screen promptly cuts to black as two keys appear on the screen, and soon one of them breaks. It is unclear as to what this could mean as of writing. The screen then transitions to Mario being in where he began, and goes to another blocked off door. It promptly comes up with different text, made apparent as shown by the "BEST TO FORGET ABOUT HIM" near the end. He soon attempts to get into another door, and is unable to find a way in. He does so again, and is once again unsuccessful. He then spots a faceless Peach painting, and soon long-jumps into it. He is soon sent into a library type setting, and soon goes into a much more deeper, scarier, and darker area of the general place, with Boos and flying chairs all over the place attempting to hurt him. Mario soon gains a Vanish Cap, gets out of there, and promptly goes into the caged area much more in the beginning. He soon finds himself in what appears to be a shower, with Toads everywhere (presumably washing themselves), before Mario gets out of there via another painting. He soon is transported to another area, which appears to be a more abandoned version of Jolly Roger Bay, with the ship now gone, the water receded, and the eel dead. Mario soon swims into the eel's home, and finds himself in a previously unfound location, with seagulls chirping, waves crashing, and a lighthouse and more land in the distance. The place seems to be a earlier version of Tiny-Huge Island, as seen by the gigantic land and Goombas. Mario manages to soon find the ship, and soon go away and explore for a bit more. He gets to the very top of the island, and a star appears on top of the lighthouse. He soon proceeds to launch himself towards it via a cannon, but as he does so, the screen starts to experience some visual distortion, and it soon cuts to black as Mario gets closer. The last key soon appears in the midst of the darkness, and it too is gone. It soon cuts back to the Nintendo Mania show portion, and Luigi starts to crack some jokes, to which all of them barely make make Mario laugh. Towards the end, Luigi repeats the saying "They love ya'!" several times as the crowd laughs harder and the music stops. It soon cuts to a backwards angle, where Mario appears to be alone. So very alone. The video soon cuts to more gameplay, as Mario is back where he first started. The lighting seems to be much darker, and the faceless Peach painting is no longer there. Mario attempts to interact with the closed off areas again, to which a textbox appears, stating: "FORGET ABOUT HIM". Mario soon enters the door with the keyhole, and it soon cuts to black. Soon, Faceless Mario, or Stanley, makes an appearance once again, saying lines such as "I hurt. Why won't you just go away? Please just go away. Leave." The phrase "leave" starts to overwhelm the screen as it cuts back to Mario falling into a checkerboard floor, to which it reveals to be a corrupted version of the interior of Peach's Castle. Mario soon goes into another location of the corrupt castle, and it soon all goes back to normal as a voice clip from Peach saying "Mario!" plays. Mario soon enters the mirror room, and soon, everything goes back to its previous state. The mirror in front is smashed, and Mario can finally enter the other door on the other side. The aforementioned door leads to a white void, and towards another door. It soon is confirmed to be a trap as Mario falls and encounters another door. He promptly enters it. Mario soon finds himself in the same map found in 01.22.96, and jumps into the blood red lake, regaining his health while doing so. The body of another Mario can be seen floating, likely from the previous tape. He soon gets onto land and makes his way towards a cave. He enters said cave and finds himself into a passageway, (presumably a sewer), with many Boos around waiting to hurt Mario. As soon as he finds a door, the sounds of chomping and laughing can be heard, likely from an anomaly called "The Wario Apparition". The sound goes away as Mario takes refuge and enters the door. It soon once more cuts back to the Nintendo Mania show portion, where Luigi attempts to comfort Mario, who has presumably broke the fourth wall and found out that he's in a show. Luigi soon comforts him, saying that if he doesn't want to keep doing the show, he'll still be with him. This makes Mario budge, and soon turns around to go home. Luigi is nowhere to be found. Lights start to turn off. Darkness envelopes Mario. It soon cuts back to the gameplay portion of the whole tape, and Mario soon starts to explore more of the new area he's in. He soon finds a room with a silver Toad statue, and he finds his way into what appears to be a more larger variant of the castle's backyard/garden, complete with a windmill. Mario frolics around and soon enters the windmill, which leads to a white void. Text appears in the screen as Stanley slowly becomes less opaque, with the text saying lines such as but not limited to: "I don't know what to do. I'm finished. You just get lost. Every time. And you never listen. And you always hurt me. Jim. That's your name. I saw it. In the words inside me. I saw other names as well. Are they your friends? I don't think they like you. And I don't think you like me. Because you hurt me so much. I can go away. I want to go. Please. I'm not having fun." The screen soon cuts to black, and soon cuts to a SGI IRIS workstation prompt. An auto-enhance feature appears, presumably being the personalization AI. It soon cuts to black. After a few seconds, someone starts speaking. Words are quoted below. "I believe it's only right for me to say this right now. Although I dealt more than a select few would care, It was me. I got rid of it. I sold the cartridges. I brought it into the world, and I took it out of it. That was all me. I can't say I'm a better man for it, nor my (unintelligible). I-I've learned things in the past two years. Things no one else cared to pay attention to, except for me. Even then, to tell you the truth, I'm not entirely certain I really did either. Not in time, that's for sure. Maybe I should've seen this coming. There were signs. That, there were. Curiosity got the best of me, however. And that quickly turned into an obsession. It wasn't simple either. Quite the contrary, actually. It had a way with the words that knew, and it's a shame I only noticed after that was taken away as well. I don't know what it was exactly was I wanted, but I believe I'm walking away with the intended result. This all ends here. For good." Text soon appears saying "The End" as reversed music can be heard, before the tape ends all together. (END OF DOCUMENTATION)
actually the song at the end isn’t reversed, it’s the first demo for the mind electric ua-cam.com/video/OrWdq6Zwjy8/v-deo.html the tapes ended with a tally hall reference :D
I’m not going to lie the last part of Nintendo mania almost brought me to tears especially the part where Luigi says he’ll always be there for Mario just for Mario to turn around and see Luigi gone but overall this series is everything I’d ever want in a Mario 64 horror series and this was the best ending for it.
So from what i understood from this is the following: Jim was the person who recorded most of these tapes. from the earliest in genesis to the ones from 1997. Even though Jim deleted Stanley from the sm64 source code in 05.13.96 , he still seems he has cartridges of builds that had Stanley in them that were showcased in the 1997 tapes hence why there were still tapes recorded after 05.13.96
25:54 You just reminded me of a dream I had that stayed in my mind until now. I dreamed that my mother was talking to my grandmother on the phone, then she passed me to my grandmother, after finishing talking with my grandmother I told her "well, here I will pass you to my mother" When I turned around, my mother and everyone disappeared and I was in a white room with a phone in my hand, alone without any sound. I hope it is understood, since I translated it with the "Google Translator" (Speak Spanish)
A few scenes that stood out to me the most 2:39 Mario comprehending what just happened 8:21 15:56 It seems Luigi is just his imagination seeing how his brother seemingly pops into existence, throughout this segment Luigi makes fun of Mario but I think this is Mario’s way of putting the fault on himself as during “promo show” he left Luigi to drown, at the end of the segment Mario is seen looking at an empty audience further implying that he really is a one man show. 21:31 23:53 Endless Stairs theme 24:47 this segment is what I think, Mario forgiving himself

They were full of charm and life, they genuinely felt like something nintendo would make in the late 1990s to advertise their games. By the way, I'm not sad that it ended, I'm just happy that you even started making the series two years ago!" - Rom Hacker #3 "I just really appreciate your hard work on this huge series.

I feel like after the seizure incident, Jim wanted to begin investigating the Enhancer, so he takes a few things from the HQ in an attempt to find out what went wrong.
This project as a whole was super incredible, and something that belongs in an art museum, honestly. The amount of effort this must've taken must have been crazy, reading your pinned comment.
Every ''hosts'' Moment 1:11 15:54 (mario knows whats goin' on) 24:45 Every Stanley apparence 18:26 29:17 31:26 21:31 (i think is stanley, probably) Keys scenes 8:19 15:42 Jumpscares (I THINK) 1:47 ''I were good as well'' "good as well,you were good" 1:54 distorced luigi 2:34 glitch, luigi drowning, disturbing stanley and ''this isn't right''
I'm coming into this after recently coming across the ost of mario madness, and diving into where these songs get their origins. I've never allowed myself to really watch anything like this series before, cause I always dismissed creepypasta/iceberg stuff as just "cringe" But over time I've come to respect what people are creating. To a point where I finally let myself watch this whole series as my first like... creepypasta horror experience. And I gotta say, I have never found myself as enthralled in a mystery as this series! The style, the themese are all so well done, and hell, I still find myself with so many questions and theories now. This was a fantastic thing to come across, and I appreciate what you've created here. ❤
0/10 no nic cage Being real though, that was incredible. This series was truly amazing, and inspired me along with many others. I'm glad to have been along for the ride these past 3 years. Thank you. 💙
After re-watching this last Super Mario 64 Classified video, I can finally say, I'm glad Stanley is now free... Free from all the hurting, from all the suffering, he can finally rest. I'm really gonna miss this series... I loved how each video felt real to me... Every time I re-watch some of the demos, playtests, and showcases, I always think to myself: "Man, if Nintendo had developed an alternative like this in 1995, the fans would go wild in present day... Hats off to you, Greenio! You definitely deserve an award for this!
A bittersweet ending for a fantastic series of spooky Mario 64, The style of horror is just up my ally and you nailed it I would say! This was my favorite tape of all of them, the animated bits,the nostalgic yet unsettling atmosphere, and the ending speech. You did an fantastic job with this series and while it ended I'm glad you made it. as Mario would say: See you next time!
I have no words for how amazing this is. The dialogue, the areas, the animations, and just the pure personality and originality of this video and the entire series are truly masterful. Thank you so much for this, and everything else you have contributed to the community.
This really went out with a bang, Greenio!! Thanks for this surreal and terrifying ride! Gonna miss this series quite hard... not much is left to play around in the world of Personalized Mario 64 these days... but you always delivered the very best of it for the past few years. Mario's bittersweet bonding with long gone Luigi was nothing short of emotional - and the levels shown in this tape had me wish we had them in the original game so much. And... so glad to see Jim letting Stanley free. 😢 Gonna be checking on your new ideas time and time again - until then... see you next time~
Coming back after 6 months and watching the whole thing again makes me appreciate this series even more. It may sound kinda goofy but this series left a big impact in my life, 2020 was hell and this and the personalization trend overall where my only comfort in those awful times. Something I don't see being appreciated enough is how authentic it feels. It has some crazy wild shit, yeah, but it still has that SM64 charm in it, something that every other project lacks A LOT. Even if I'm still kinda sad it ended I'm really glad it did have an amazing finale instead of the whole thing being scrapped halfway because some awful shit happening behind the scenes. I really have no words to describe how masterfully done everything is, the music, the timing, the horror, EVERYTHING. Sorry for writing an entire essay here, its just that this series means a lot to me and I wanted to say it, I appreciate your work A TON, and I know that any future projects will be as amazing or even more than this. :]
I've been silently following this series since… I wanna say July/August 2020, either right before or after the video of Yoshi jumping off the castle (RIP) came out. I've enjoyed it every step of the way, and watching it and its presentation evolve along that way has been a blast. To slightly borrow from Mario's closing words, thank you so much for making your videos! I'm really looking forward to seeing how it all comes to a close. Wishing you the best in all your future goings-on! See you on the 7th. :)
UPDATE: I missed the start of the premiere by too many minutes for comfort, unfortunately, but I just got finished watching the video. Really, really, REALLY nicely done! I'm impressed - and even a bit awed - in every sense of the word(s). Kudos, and thanks again for making your videos! Good luck with college and all your future efforts! This was fun while it lasted. :)
What an amazing series, I felt so immersed in the first half that i forgot it was even horror (that’s a good thing in this case, it makes the element of surprise even better)
Ive followed this series for a while, and its incredible. Genuinely, you made something really special here. Sobbing that they finally can have their peace
Greenio when I first found this series I was actually intrigued because this had such interesting lore and story behind it I knew I had to keep watching. And I had questions along the way that actually got answered like What Jim wanted with the cartridges what Stanley was and of corse you replied to my little theory on promo show. And I have to say thank you for giving me another series to fall in love with and I’m excited to see where you go next! thank you Greenio.
The era of an era... Ever since I've discovered this series when looking at creepy SM64 videos, or even the "every copy of Mario 64 is personalized" rumor, I do in fact watched this series as a whole; from start to finish., and throughout everything, I enjoyed every single video that was made for this whole series. Even though it's bittersweet seeing this whole series come to an end, I do in fact just want to say thank you for all of the dedications that you, and so many others have brought to this series, Green. And also, Thank you for everything that you do Can't wait to see what other stuff that you'll do in the near future
Commenting right after watching- this is a great ending! I’m glad to have witnessed the tiny project based off of the “every copy is personalized” thing turn into a fully fledged analog horror series! Amazing work, Greenio!
This was a very special journey for me. These videos felt like I was playing Mario 64 for the first time again, that awe and sense of mystery that surrounds the game that I cherish so much. Thank you Greenio for such a great finale to an already spectacular series, and thank you for reminding me why I love this game.
im genuinely happy i've been looking at this stuff ever since the whole wario-in-mario-64 stuff became huge in may 2020, and to think that it's already been nearly 3 years since then is shocking to realize, until it's also realized how far this entire early-SM64 idea went, even having it's own ARGs and series it arguably influenced a lot of the Internet, especially regarding iceberg videos, considering if I'm not mistaken the SM64 iceberg was one of the first iceberg videos to get fame and though icebergs are here to stay it's really interesting to see how a short video of Mario in a hallway led to one of the strongest ARG communities in recent time, all over a single game all in all after witnessing everything from the original "you want fun" clip, to the iceberg, to the rise of Greenio and SM64 Beta Archive and more, then the Luigi model leak, and the SM64 Beta Archive situation, and the staleness that was 2022, and the general joy of the entire community, it's amazing to have seen and experienced in real time the thousands of people and mass recognition in general. seeing this series end is actually very bittersweet, especially considering greenio is probably one of the last remaining giants of the entire SM64-ARGs community, but it was amazing to see everything happen in general thanks for everything wario head
I’m so grateful this series managed to reach its conclusion, I once followed another sm64 analogue series (the one that got cancelled). I was sad since it never got to conclude with anything or show off what it could do, but you managed to work through the issues and told a beautiful yet eerie story, ya filled the void that got left behind and I’m really happy ehehe…! Thanks for scaring me and giving me hype all these years~
It has been a very wild ride but I enjoyed every mile of it along the way because this was genuinely one of the best Super Mario 64 Beta ARG’s I’ve ever seen that held it’s own while Beta Archives unfortunately fell under. But you stuck around and gave us thrilling new episodes till the very end that mixes two of my many favorite thing’s, internet horror and Super Mario 64. You’ve truly outdone yourself with this bittersweet, nonetheless amazing and beautiful ending to a story that had me hooked since 2020. Congratulations and hope to see more projects from you in the future!
So this is the end of sm64 classified... 2 years of making... really is a end of an era. A great one. Full of mistery, cut content found, etc. Loved this series and followed it since the beggining, keeping up updates and advancements of what to come next... and here we are. The finale. Really nice work you have put out greenio ^^
Hey greenio, I’m from Germany and I really enjoy playing or even watching content about Mario 64. I started watching your content 2020 and I loved it ever since. Thank you SOO much for this epic time. You gave me so much nostalgia which I needed after my grandma’s death. You are truly a talented person. Wish you the best on you next projects and also a happy and healthy life 💖
Started to watch this series after I saw Marionova's upload of one of your tapes, during the summer of 2020 after I had graduated high school. Nearly three years later, it's strange to see the end of this crazy entertaining series. Thanks for all the spooks and keeping me on the edge of my seat! Best of luck to whatever you try next!
What i love about these videos is how professional they feel, there's creepy stuff of course, but the levels, the ambientation is so good, i could almost see them being real levels. Even knowing it's not official it makes me feel so immersed, so charmed by these levels, maps, etc. I enjoyed the journey while it lasted, thank you for your tremendous work, and i hope whatever you do from now on makes you happy.
I'm watching the premiere right now, and my GOD, this is amazing. You've definitely come a long way Greenio. But it figures that given that this is the finale, of course you'd want to end it off on a banger.
I really liked this! The level design, the story, and the lore were awesome! I liked how you can hear and see parts of the original mario 64 game as if they were starting to make the full game but they still had some ways to go before they finished everything. I also liked how you put one of the demos for the mind electric at the end which just goes fantastically with the rest video. I so happy you were able to make this series and though I'm a bit saddened to how it has to end I'm still happy it ended this way. Fantastic work man!
This was the best 33 mins of horror and story of my life, this is a masterpiece what you created, truly the best goodbye letter for an era of the SM64 Personalized Series you created, you truly are talented and i hope i and everyone else get's to see you again some day, maybe not as Greenio but whatever you call yourself, we'll be here for the ride.
SM64 CLASSIFIED was one of my favourite sm64 stuff on youtube. It is sad to see it go, but every youtuber needs to end something that they started. Thanks Green, for these amazing series.
I have been watching your videos since 2020, and this year a few weeks ago I remembered your channel and saw the complete series, I really loved it and I appreciate the effort you made because this could really be worth more than any other current series,this is a really masterpiece,thank you very much for the entertainment you have given me you gave to me and all your followers. Thank you greenio Edit:and I'm sorry if it's not well written, I don't know how to speak English well
That was so fucking cool, like- I enjoyed watching this so much! I'm for real going to miss this, Classified was such an amazing series and I had a great time watching it all come together. I've kind of been here since season 1 started and it's bittersweet seeing it end after 2 years. Really proud of you, Greenio! I'll always keep this series in my heart.
And the story has finally come to a close,Jim has learned his lesson & Stanley is finally at peace,not only that but Jim also took the Tapes & the Personalized copies to make sure that Stanley never suffers ever again which is the right choice & I love the reversed music of The Mind Electric which I find somewhat fitting as the end theme. Thanks you for creating this amazing Mario 64 ARG series Greenio,I had fun watching it from beginning to end for three years,I don't think any other Mario 64 ARG's will top this,best of luck with Collage & again thanks for everything. 👍
end' "just my closing thoughts this time.mp4" I just wanna personally say, as a longtime fan of your series, you've done such incredible work through it all. Growing up loving SM64 as a kid, and always dreaming about what the game would be like if there truly was more to it, your videos always satisfied that feeling to me, alongside being such an incredible horror series with such incredible lore to it, fitting as I love horror very deeply. Even since I first started getting more deep into and fascinated with horror since the old days of FNAF, I also grew to love a certain SMW horror hack series called 'the, also known as Coronation Day, which I actually also used to reference a lot in the comments of your videos, out of how invested I was theorizing the lore of it all, and even being inspired to this very day with my own aspirations of writing horror for other personal projects of mine. Anyways, I just personally wanna say thank you for all the lovely work you've done throughout the years, and I'm also wishing you the best of luck moving forward in life, with collage and whatever else you got planned for the future. You take great care, and you have yourself a wonderful day!
Enjoyed this series from start to finish, especially when the craze started during COVID quarantine. Also, from what it seems the end dialogue means, I think it means the following: Every single tape released in this series was from Jim. Every single one. Starting from Genesis and the development of the game and AI activation, to the bugging of a commercial taping (Aftermath) to eventually coming back to reinvestigating the glitches just prior to and in the following year after the official release up to 09.03.97 (the first half of Season 2 and all of Season 1 except 07.29.95). The AI recognized it was Jim that had come back, and as a result, began going crazy again, with Jim documenting all of the oddities and glitches, even coming across his previous encounters (explains the dead Mario in the Inverted Castle Plexus moat from 01.22.96) Jim’s tone here indicates regret, which is where I think 07.29.95’s context comes back into play based on what Greenio had said about it before in relation to Genesis: Jim feels massive regret and wishes that he had killed or prevented the AI from taking over, which is why 07.29.95 is Jim’s failure - hence why the AI “dies” in that tape. Side note the Nintendo mania side piece, is I think Mario processing the grief of Luigi dying in Promo show and his depiction here is only in his head (evident by flashes of just Mario and eventually just himself at the last part ) Im not totally sure if I got this right but if I’m on the right track then I am fine with that.
i gotta say, i love that fuckin' 70s hanna-barbera look that was given to mario and luigi for that nintendo mania segment, really unique and creative way to illustrate the brothers. good job
everything about this series was great, since 2020 i've been intrigued. this episode truly was the most quality one yet, using authentic hardware to replicate the feeling of it being real.
Thank you for the effort you have put into this, i been watching the series, i have been watching since the start, sorry for some times that i asked for links though, but great work you has put into this.
this has been very fun for me, watching the series evolve and grow. i will miss this series, including the whole mario 64 phenomena stuff, as it seems to be dying now but i will always remember classified. very fun stuff.
I'm going to be honest I don't really have words for this other than just a thank you for creating this whole story and I feel lucky to have watched from the beginning of the series to end of it.
Freaking amazing. You did a very good job. What a amazing series from the start to the finish, also leaving out references from past videos. Amazing job greenio.
What a fantastic conclusion to one of the greatest analog horror series ever. Really enjoyed every moment of it and the references made from previous videos: Nintendo Mania's segments, the "four doors four challenges" room, a derelict JRB with the eel having died of old age (I presume), Stanley's appearance, that white void room from SM64DS, the inverted/mirrored castle grounds area and the drowned Mario corpse from 01.22.96, Endless Stairs + chomping sounds, that core from the non-canon video of the Fourth Floor, etc. The closing speech was magnificent. I look forward to see what the future holds.
32:47 I am 98% certain that the music is a portion of the song “the mind electric” that was reversed/distorted. To be specific it sounds most like a the last lines of the song that has been distorted: “When it grows bright, the particles start to marvel having made it through the night. Never the ponder, wether electric calming if you look at it right” Not sure it means anything, but I think it’s interesting (and it’s also one of my favourite songs so im happy to see it recognised)
This series was great taking something that we all care about and turn into a twisted into a analog horror series this was a really good series and hopefully you proud of the people that you entertained hope you have a good day bro
Pretty cool. The levels looked amazing and I really liked the bit of analog-horror spook when seeing the hall of Peach portraits, matching the bit of dread that caused. In a way, I liked how low-key the actual supernatural conflict and resolution turned out to be. ~w~
It’s all been epic. It’s all been awesome, but unfortunately, things come to an end. I will never forget this truly inspiring journey, and I’m sure all of us will, let alone had. Thank you for the memories.
This is amazing! I remember seeing 2020 Mario 64 tapes gives me soo much nostalgia and i cant wait to watch it in the next 3 days to the end thank you Greenio for everything and the scary tapes you did in 2020
Green, you don't know the happiness of seeing this, I am more than excited, these feelings of seeing an era of 3 years end cannot be described, simply thank you for your effort and even so when you finish this great series, I will continue to watch your videos, many Thank you and I'll be at the premiere :')
seeing 21:06 gave me a wave of excitement. that place was probably my favourite throughout the series. and no, that's not personal bias speaking. _(if you know, you know.)_
Absolutely spectacular, in some ways this is the perfect epilogue to not just this series but the mario 64 iceberg stuff as a whole. Here's to what comes next down the line!
2 years since the first tapes.... During this time I was watching each video, feeling tension every time Mario turned around, waiting for a giant head, or and distorted Bowser to appear. Even with the HL2 sfx or the constant errors, you made not only me, but also your entire audience feel constant paranoia, fear and tension. Greenio, thanks for giving us one of the best psychological horror series I've seen in my life, I hope that in your next projects we see something similar or even better.
I might have an idea for an sm64 arg like this… but that will be in the far, far future I do have something to say… YOU made me appreciate sm64, arg and stuff like this YOU inspired me to think of something like this YOU made me, because of the amazing storytelling, have respect for all of the characters YOU have made me want a sequel to this ( even if it is the far, far future ) This all, because of you And I thank you for that. :]

The last cartoon segment with Mario and Luigi was actually really heartfelt and I loved it. When Luigi said, “When your not around, it’s like I’m not around”, that got me 😢
That's the only reason I came back to this episode to be honest
that is honestly so real
I really didnt expect this series to make me sob by the end but here we are
24:46
thats not it, thats not because he was so kind for his brother and was careful..it was for something dark.
That line he said has a dark meaning, and yes, really really dark.
The line is a hint for the own game, for Luigi’s existence. If Mario doesnt exist, Luigi also wouldn’t. Thats how Games actually work. So without Mario being there, Luigi is just..not there. So no Mario = No Luigi. Yes, its true
Mario's drowned body from 9.02.97 still being there in this episode implies the idea that Luigi's body after drowning in Promo Show is still there. And I love that, it gives it that episodic connection to the series.
Its because Stanley give live for the characters from the game
The title of the tape is 1.22.96
That explains why Luigi is gone in Nintendo Mania when Mario says "let's go home".
hi razz
@@xdCallMeCooper hi cooper
I am a Japanese who can't even speak another language well, but I fell right into your world. I am sad to see Horror Mario 64 come to an end.Thank you so much, Greenio.
ありがとう、Greenio！
Lol I love when people who don’t speak English tends to always use grammar and punctuation perfectly
@@outlawdavid1182yeah but some people use google translate.
23:50 I actually felt really uneasy when I began slowly hearing the Stairs music just barely in earshot, then the chomping sound. Even though it's been two years since I last heard of the whole Wario thing, I STILL knew what it was. And I actually felt uncomfortable. The "something is coming from far away" scenario has always been a little fear of mine and the build-up was so awesome.
20:23 And wow. Going through the mirror! I never thought I'd see the day. I always tried to do that as a 4 year old toddler because even though I knew it was a mirror, it also looked like more territory to explore. I love that these new Mario 64 "secrets" just tamper with your Nintendo nostalgia in a way nothing ever has before.
I do feel the same @ChaoChao0071. I've seen Greenio's video since I was 15 years old, it was creepy, it gives me uneasy feeling as well.
If you were a 4 year old toddler trying to get through that mirror, you'd have a fucking field day with SM64DS
The wario application should have got the player and make and error screen appear
Is that the guy who made those happy tree friends fan animations
Those animation segments for me were emotional. The whole time I was watching this live, I felt depressed whenever I saw Luigi, mainly the part where he glitches repeating the phrase "They love ya!" And seeing Mario upset like he knew something bad would happen and had the fear of losing his brother again looming throughout this tape. That last part when Luigi says he feels like he doesn't exist without Mario and saying that he would always be with him only for Mario to turn around to see Luigi missing. The only question I have is, what was Jim going through when he was writing this script?
probably regret and remorse of loosing someone maybe his own brother too?
By this part of the story Jim is starting to go a little insane, but I actually think that maybe Mario is trapped inside the A.I., and due to Mario wanting Luigi to be with him so desperately, the A.I. conjured up a Luigi. And since the A.I. is clearly going through pain throughout the course of the video, the A.I. is in too much pain to keep Luigi going, so the A.I. has to remove him.
The way I see it, it's like this Mario was diagnosed with PTSD/Schizophrenia. Every time Mario stops thinking about Luigi, he just.. Disappears. Like when Mario was letting the footage of the E3 build and possibly watching it, he stopped thinking about Luigi. And when the footage ended, it took a while for Mario to realize what was missing, and as soon has he had the answer, Luigi came back. Mario, at this part, was not thinking the right way, which was one of the main causes to his utter silence throughout the second segment. Whatever Joke, quote, action, he expects Luigi to do, it happens. Mario even expects when the laugh track will play. Tracing back to two sentences before, while Luigi was speaking his usual puns, Mario was possibly realizing something was wrong/out of the ordinary. Were there actually audiences? Is there a reason to the predictable thinking? As Mario was becoming more aware of this unusual hint, he began to expect a sentence, and Luigi says: "Not like it changes much, just hear 'em! They love ya'!" That's the moment where Mario begins to mentally lose grip of the senario; Luigi's last sentence keep repeating whilst the "audience" kept laughing, and laughing.. And at the final part of the second segment, Mario gets his grip back last minute to realize... There was no audience.
Third segment, Luigi comforts Mario, trying to get him out of his new train of thought. He also states: "Somehow when you're not around, it's.. It's like I'm not around." The best way I can explain this quote to match my theory is that every time Mario doesn't think about Luigi, he's simply not around, and thus Luigi isn't around either. He also mentions that if Mario didn't want to do the show anymore, he'll still stick with him. After Mario gives into Luigi's words, he says: "Alright, you got me. Let's go home." But Luigi wasn't there. It was probably to show that Mario wasn't talking to anybody the whole time, and it was all in his head of hallucination. Due to the events of "Promo Show" Mario is still not over the death of his brother Luigi, and the only way he can cope with it at that moment was to keep him living in his head, and turns out, he got too used to it. Honestly, really sad for me to think about.
Take this theory with a grain of salt, for I'm still not sure PTSD/Schizophrenia's symptoms tie to these events, but let me know-
Well, at least they would reunite 24 years and 1 month after the games release.
@@saucymemes6696 that might actually be a reaaon for luigi's removal, or alteast in greenio's canon
I’d like to just say, that this entire series was great. I know many have said that, but I believe there is a theme that we can take away from this.
Loss.
No, not the comic, but grief, loss, and death of a loved one.
Mario, representing someone, lost their greatest man Luigi, representing that person’s brother.
I think it is important to note the scene where Luigi comforts Mario when the break the fourth wall, and the quotes “FORGET HIM”
In a brighter perspective, if you lose a loved one, don’t forget them. Hold them close to your heart, and don’t let the pain linger with you forever, because in the end it isn’t your fault, and they still love you.
Luigi, even if dead, still loves Mario, because he’s his brother. That’s what brothers do. Although it is more spiritual, but love is eternal.
The series, and Luigi, may have come to an end, but they live on in our hearts. We’ve been through this due to the loss of important people in the past years such as Technoblade, who people loved very much, but they never let him “die”. Technoblade never dies, etc.
As Greenio says, all things must come to an end, and that’s the sad truth. What matters however, is that it lives on in our hearts, our souls, and everything else.
In the end, none of us are really dead, or over.
We’re just somewhere else.
Amen my friend, amen....
I'm a Sonic person but dude that was a real fact. I won't do the nerd saying that in a game, "MaRiO cRuShEs ThE sHoE oF lUiGi", but yeah, they are brothers after all.
Well said, Professor Parabeetle. Well said.
Sir this is a mcdonalds what are you talking about?
That was beautiful
So...
(Spoilers below)
...Jim did it. He finally let Stanley go. He got rid of the auto_enhance, the whole thing.
Fantastic job, Mary. Fan-freaking-tastic.
End of an era. Experiencing this from the start all the way to the end has been nothing short of incredible. Thank you for the ride, Annie. 💙
i can 100% agree, i watched this start to end and its amazing.
@@InfinityNess Same.
@@rodrigojogos. Me 2
I couldn't agree more
now. we need to restore stanley
All the references (that I could find)
11:30 Reference to the iceberg theory that there was something behind the eel's home
13:56 The ship is (possibly) the same as the B-roll ship model
18:50 Reference to the iceberg image showing a distorted peach's castle, also could be seen as the "Interal Castle Plexus"
20:46 The white room is an obvious reference to SM64DS, just now with a door in it
21:12 Is a callback to "01.22.96" even having a drowned Mario from that video
24:20 The endless staircase music + the chomping sound being an obvious reference to The Wario Apparition
26:20 The hallway with the 4 paths and boo's being a reference to a personalized SM64 image that was floating around at the time of the peak of the trend
26:28 The center area could possibly be a 4th floor (not the one in classified) reference with the hole in the roof but I could be wrong
27:05 The Toad statue being a callback to the classified version of the 4th floor (or 07.29.95 to be exact)
27:31 The core from "07.29.95" appears down a small hallway
28:01 The staircase leading to a door being another reference to another personalized image that was also floating around
31:00 While not being a "reference" is basically a more refined version of Jim's speech from "07.29.95" which was later cut
I don't have a time stamp, but I believe when the main castle area first gets desolate, the large wall which contains what appears to be a dirt texture could be a reference to the haunted dirt texture - especially since it appears to have some form of facial like features?
Thanks for making this list by the way!
Yeah 19:16 is where the dirt texture appears, definitely a reference to the Iceberg entry, good find!
that means there’s another mario in the castle running from the apparition
The drowned Mario looks like like Luigi but with white skin and with Mario’s attire.
10:15 seems to reference the Castle Sewer System, given its where all the water drains to
Stanley may have found peace in death, but poor Mario still can't get over Luigi's death. That's really sad.
Breaking news: Mario managed to snap in half two keys, but being serious coming back to the series in 2024 makes me very glad that some things don’t last forever, thank you
I'm so glad Stanley was finally able to become the Super Mario 64 (July 29th, 1995 Build) in the end, I'm proud of them
This series definitely went out with a bang; I love your Mario and Luigi designs for the Nintendo Mania segments, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of melancholy once everything started wrapping up, what a sendoff to a nearly 3 year old journey!
Hey Chris!
What's up?
Whos stanley
@@jakubkuba3671 The A.I in this Analog Horror
Dude i still finding you in any video, i think we have same tastes
Also hows your day?
The great Christopher Moon!
I couldn't think of a better way to end this series, everything about this episode was fantastic. The levels were amazing, I could totally see them being real cut levels, while still having that mysterious aura to them. It was nice to see Mario & Luigi be the hosts, they were well written and looked great. The story was also nicely wrapped up. Although this series as a whole really got me to think about something.
"Thanks for playing Super Mario 64! This is the end of the game, but not the end of the fun."
Mario 64 may've ended, but the fun didn't. Through ROM Hacks, animations, fan projects and these tapes, Mario 64 has continued to live on. There may not actually be a spooky Personalization AI in Mario 64, nor is there some spooky Wario Apparition or a 4th Floor to the castle. However one thing from this series is true...
Nintendo's Fun is Eternal.
Or, in other words...
Fun Is Infinite
-Nintendo Enterprises
...I'm sorry for the cheesy reference lol
This series was perfect.
Not from the lens of a horror fan, but that of someone who grew up infatuated with those few beta screenshots of Mario 64, Mario 64 creepypasta, and the L is Real myth. This series captured that wonder in me once again with the beta assets, environments that seemed both familiar yet new, and sound design and music that was *just* off.
I look forwards to re-watching the whole series in-order to properly learn about the story you are telling here, both because it truly is so well made and because any story I took in throughout this experience has been overshadowed by how much I enjoyed staring at the level and enemy designs, and listening to it all.
Thank you, and I wish for your future projects can inherit the amazing wonder that you have presented here.
this series deserves better attention honestly

Is not a random code, is the Nintendo 64 SDK GUI, Jim is at the console, disabling Stanley
I love SM64 Classified, the whole "SM64 is personalized" thing felt like a dream and seeing Classified push that to perfection was incredible.
Something tells me we won't be getting a series like this for a long while _(Beside a potential reboot I keep hearing about lol)_ But regardless this has me subscribed and ready to see more projects from you. Love this series, and I loved the epilogue.
Wouldn't take murmurs about a reboot too seriously LOL
A lot of times I'll say I do something because of how into the idea I am, without really considering how feasible it would be or whether I *_really_* am willing to give that kind of commitment. Still, thanks a lot for this comment :]

Super luigi 64 when
Date of videotape recording: May 13th, 1996 - September 3rd, 1997.
Time of videotape recording: 12:34 PM - 08:14 AM
Current withholder of videotape: A UA-camr by the identity of "Greenio", known for publishing prerelease VHS tape footage of Nintendo's 1996 video game for the Nintendo 64, aptly named "Super Mario 64."
The tape starts off with a phone call, presumably from one of the developers. It soon ends and a title card appears, claiming that the tape is for internal usage only. Soon after, a flashy intro animation shows up, relating to a Nintendo-promoted show titled "Nintendo Mania" (Not to be confused with it's LATAM counterpart). The short briefly starts off with the two titular brothers, Mario and Luigi, cracking some jokes and briefly promoting the newest game that Nintendo had at the time, "Super Mario 64", in its more prerelease state (presumably E3 1996), with the show and brothers overall taking a"Hanna-Barbera style" design, if you will.
It soon cuts to the actual game itself, with our player controlling Mario in what looks to be a room with a pendulum, a locked door in the middle of the room, and two doors which seem to be blocked with bricks, all of which come up with the text saying "YOU HAVE A BAD FEELING FROM THIS WALL. BEST TO FORGET ABOUT IT", before Mario enters one of the not so blocked off doors, and enters one of the paintings in said room. The room in which he enters seems to have a very lush nature design, with a small lake in the center, and the tree stumps acting as a sort of passageway towards that painting. Flowers can be seen on the sides as the sunlight shines through the windows as Mario makes his way towards the painting.
Mario soon lands on a massive tree stump, and appears to be in some sort of jungle-forest type area, where he briefly explores around it for a while, doing his usual antics. He soon enters a teleportation area in another tree stump, and soon gets transported to the top of another chopped off tree. He soon talks to the pink Bomb-omb on his side after defeating a Piranha Plant, to which said Bomb makes the cannon accessible. Mario soon makes his way to the cannon, via numerous tree stumps, and soon gets to it. He launches himself towards an island and collects another red coin, pushes a button, proceeds to jump on some soon to be disappearing blocks, and swing on some vines that soon lead him to his desired location, only for him to fall as he makes a mistake. He soon corrects this action by getting to his location, promptly finishes collecting all of the red coins, proceeds to run towards the star he earned, and collect it.
After he does so, the screen promptly cuts to black as two keys appear on the screen, and soon one of them breaks. It is unclear as to what this could mean as of writing. The screen then transitions to Mario being in where he began, and goes to another blocked off door. It promptly comes up with different text, made apparent as shown by the "BEST TO FORGET ABOUT HIM" near the end. He soon attempts to get into another door, and is unable to find a way in. He does so again, and is once again unsuccessful. He then spots a faceless Peach painting, and soon long-jumps into it. He is soon sent into a library type setting, and soon goes into a much more deeper, scarier, and darker area of the general place, with Boos and flying chairs all over the place attempting to hurt him. Mario soon gains a Vanish Cap, gets out of there, and promptly goes into the caged area much more in the beginning. He soon finds himself in what appears to be a shower, with Toads everywhere (presumably washing themselves), before Mario gets out of there via another painting.
He soon is transported to another area, which appears to be a more abandoned version of Jolly Roger Bay, with the ship now gone, the water receded, and the eel dead. Mario soon swims into the eel's home, and finds himself in a previously unfound location, with seagulls chirping, waves crashing, and a lighthouse and more land in the distance. The place seems to be a earlier version of Tiny-Huge Island, as seen by the gigantic land and Goombas. Mario manages to soon find the ship, and soon go away and explore for a bit more. He gets to the very top of the island, and a star appears on top of the lighthouse. He soon proceeds to launch himself towards it via a cannon, but as he does so, the screen starts to experience some visual distortion, and it soon cuts to black as Mario gets closer. The last key soon appears in the midst of the darkness, and it too is gone.
It soon cuts back to the Nintendo Mania show portion, and Luigi starts to crack some jokes, to which all of them barely make make Mario laugh. Towards the end, Luigi repeats the saying "They love ya'!" several times as the crowd laughs harder and the music stops. It soon cuts to a backwards angle, where Mario appears to be alone. So very alone.
The video soon cuts to more gameplay, as Mario is back where he first started. The lighting seems to be much darker, and the faceless Peach painting is no longer there. Mario attempts to interact with the closed off areas again, to which a textbox appears, stating: "FORGET ABOUT HIM". Mario soon enters the door with the keyhole, and it soon cuts to black. Soon, Faceless Mario, or Stanley, makes an appearance once again, saying lines such as "I hurt. Why won't you just go away? Please just go away. Leave." The phrase "leave" starts to overwhelm the screen as it cuts back to Mario falling into a checkerboard floor, to which it reveals to be a corrupted version of the interior of Peach's Castle. Mario soon goes into another location of the corrupt castle, and it soon all goes back to normal as a voice clip from Peach saying "Mario!" plays. Mario soon enters the mirror room, and soon, everything goes back to its previous state. The mirror in front is smashed, and Mario can finally enter the other door on the other side. The aforementioned door leads to a white void, and towards another door. It soon is confirmed to be a trap as Mario falls and encounters another door. He promptly enters it.
Mario soon finds himself in the same map found in 01.22.96, and jumps into the blood red lake, regaining his health while doing so. The body of another Mario can be seen floating, likely from the previous tape. He soon gets onto land and makes his way towards a cave. He enters said cave and finds himself into a passageway, (presumably a sewer), with many Boos around waiting to hurt Mario. As soon as he finds a door, the sounds of chomping and laughing can be heard, likely from an anomaly called "The Wario Apparition". The sound goes away as Mario takes refuge and enters the door.
It soon once more cuts back to the Nintendo Mania show portion, where Luigi attempts to comfort Mario, who has presumably broke the fourth wall and found out that he's in a show. Luigi soon comforts him, saying that if he doesn't want to keep doing the show, he'll still be with him. This makes Mario budge, and soon turns around to go home. Luigi is nowhere to be found. Lights start to turn off. Darkness envelopes Mario. It soon cuts back to the gameplay portion of the whole tape, and Mario soon starts to explore more of the new area he's in. He soon finds a room with a silver Toad statue, and he finds his way into what appears to be a more larger variant of the castle's backyard/garden, complete with a windmill. Mario frolics around and soon enters the windmill, which leads to a white void. Text appears in the screen as Stanley slowly becomes less opaque, with the text saying lines such as but not limited to: "I don't know what to do. I'm finished. You just get lost. Every time. And you never listen. And you always hurt me. Jim. That's your name. I saw it. In the words inside me. I saw other names as well. Are they your friends? I don't think they like you. And I don't think you like me. Because you hurt me so much. I can go away. I want to go. Please. I'm not having fun."
The screen soon cuts to black, and soon cuts to a SGI IRIS workstation prompt. An auto-enhance feature appears, presumably being the personalization AI. It soon cuts to black. After a few seconds, someone starts speaking. Words are quoted below.
"I believe it's only right for me to say this right now. Although I dealt more than a select few would care, It was me. I got rid of it. I sold the cartridges. I brought it into the world, and I took it out of it. That was all me. I can't say I'm a better man for it, nor my (unintelligible). I-I've learned things in the past two years. Things no one else cared to pay attention to, except for me. Even then, to tell you the truth, I'm not entirely certain I really did either. Not in time, that's for sure. Maybe I should've seen this coming. There were signs. That, there were. Curiosity got the best of me, however. And that quickly turned into an obsession. It wasn't simple either. Quite the contrary, actually. It had a way with the words that knew, and it's a shame I only noticed after that was taken away as well. I don't know what it was exactly was I wanted, but I believe I'm walking away with the intended result. This all ends here. For good."
Text soon appears saying "The End" as reversed music can be heard, before the tape ends all together.
(END OF DOCUMENTATION)
Best Comment.
actually the song at the end isn’t reversed, it’s the first demo for the mind electric
ua-cam.com/video/OrWdq6Zwjy8/v-deo.html
the tapes ended with a tally hall reference :D
For jim speech part, its says "I can't say I'm a better man for it nor am I a worse one"
And at the SGI command prompt scene, auto_enhance was ended up being removed
This document should probably be classified
I’m not going to lie the last part of Nintendo mania almost brought me to tears especially the part where Luigi says he’ll always be there for Mario just for Mario to turn around and see Luigi gone but overall this series is everything I’d ever want in a Mario 64 horror series and this was the best ending for it.
So from what i understood from this is the following:
Jim was the person who recorded most of these tapes. from the earliest in genesis to the ones from 1997.
Even though Jim deleted Stanley from the sm64 source code in 05.13.96 , he still seems he has cartridges of builds that had Stanley in them that were showcased in the 1997 tapes hence why there were still tapes recorded after 05.13.96
What an ending. Hopefully Stanley will eventually find peace as Jim walks away.
He's resting now that he’s finally free from the pain
25:54 You just reminded me of a dream I had that stayed in my mind until now.
I dreamed that my mother was talking to my grandmother on the phone, then she passed me to my grandmother, after finishing talking with my grandmother I told her "well, here I will pass you to my mother"
When I turned around, my mother and everyone disappeared and I was in a white room with a phone in my hand, alone without any sound.
I hope it is understood, since I translated it with the "Google Translator" (Speak Spanish)

A few scenes that stood out to me the most
2:39 Mario comprehending what just happened
8:21
15:56 It seems Luigi is just his imagination seeing how his brother seemingly pops into existence, throughout this segment Luigi makes fun of Mario but I think this is Mario’s way of putting the fault on himself as during “promo show” he left Luigi to drown, at the end of the segment Mario is seen looking at an empty audience further implying that he really is a one man show.
21:31
23:53 Endless Stairs theme
24:47 this segment is what I think, Mario forgiving himself
"As a modeller with poor skills, I can say the levels are amazing." - Modeller #1, Rom Hacker #1
"I would say your projects are very nice, I like your levels, your episodes and other stuff, you are very talented at making that, it's the best project i have ever seen." - Rom Hacker #2
"hands down the best thing annie had made so far" - Music Composer #1
"Honestly you've done an amazing job on this last tape of yours. The level models have actually blown my mind, they have so much effort and dedication put into them it's insane. Let's not forget about the nintendo mania segments! They were full of charm and life, they genuinely felt like something nintendo would make in the late 1990s to advertise their games. By the way, I'm not sad that it ended, I'm just happy that you even started making the series two years ago!" - Rom Hacker #3
"I just really appreciate your hard work on this huge series. Amazing job." - The Main Person Behind The Renders, Music Composer #2 (kinda), Modeller #2, Leader of The Lost Mario 64 Project
The whole Lost Mario 64 Team thanks you for your amazing success on the whole "Classified" series. Thank you for your amazing work, Annie.

I feel like after the seizure incident, Jim wanted to begin investigating the Enhancer, so he takes a few things from the HQ in an attempt to find out what went wrong.
This project as a whole was super incredible, and something that belongs in an art museum, honestly. The amount of effort this must've taken must have been crazy, reading your pinned comment.

I appreciate how laidback and nostalgic this last one feels. The scenes where he's just exploring the environment gives me warm feelings.
I'm coming into this after recently coming across the ost of mario madness, and diving into where these songs get their origins.
I've never allowed myself to really watch anything like this series before, cause I always dismissed creepypasta/iceberg stuff as just "cringe"
But over time I've come to respect what people are creating. To a point where I finally let myself watch this whole series as my first like... creepypasta horror experience.
And I gotta say, I have never found myself as enthralled in a mystery as this series! The style, the themese are all so well done, and hell, I still find myself with so many questions and theories now.
This was a fantastic thing to come across, and I appreciate what you've created here. ❤
I can’t believe what this series has become, bittersweet seeing it come to an end
Stuck around for almost 3 years, since I first saw the series. So glad I'm here.
0/10 no nic cage
Being real though, that was incredible. This series was truly amazing, and inspired me along with many others. I'm glad to have been along for the ride these past 3 years. Thank you. 💙
After re-watching this last Super Mario 64 Classified video, I can finally say, I'm glad Stanley is now free... Free from all the hurting, from all the suffering, he can finally rest.
I'm really gonna miss this series... I loved how each video felt real to me... Every time I re-watch some of the demos, playtests, and showcases, I always think to myself: "Man, if Nintendo had developed an alternative like this in 1995, the fans would go wild in present day...
Hats off to you, Greenio! You definitely deserve an award for this!
annie awards: most legendary analog horror ever seen in our lives
A bittersweet ending for a fantastic series of spooky Mario 64, The style of horror is just up my ally and you nailed it I would say! This was my favorite tape of all of them, the animated bits,the nostalgic yet unsettling atmosphere, and the ending speech. You did an fantastic job with this series and while it ended I'm glad you made it.
as Mario would say:
See you next time!
I have no words for how amazing this is. The dialogue, the areas, the animations, and just the pure personality and originality of this video and the entire series are truly masterful. Thank you so much for this, and everything else you have contributed to the community.
You’re a very talented artist. The game levels and animated segments are really cool. I laughed when Stanley said that Jim’s friends didn’t like him.
something that scares me is no matter how many times i rewatch this series theres always _some_ part of it i never remember seeing before
This really went out with a bang, Greenio!! Thanks for this surreal and terrifying ride!
Gonna miss this series quite hard... not much is left to play around in the world of Personalized Mario 64 these days... but you always delivered the very best of it for the past few years.
Mario's bittersweet bonding with long gone Luigi was nothing short of emotional - and the levels shown in this tape had me wish we had them in the original game so much. And... so glad to see Jim letting Stanley free. 😢
Gonna be checking on your new ideas time and time again - until then... see you next time~
Coming back after 6 months and watching the whole thing again makes me appreciate this series even more.
It may sound kinda goofy but this series left a big impact in my life, 2020 was hell and this and the personalization trend overall where my only comfort in those awful times.
Something I don't see being appreciated enough is how authentic it feels. It has some crazy wild shit, yeah, but it still has that SM64 charm in it, something that every other project lacks A LOT.
Even if I'm still kinda sad it ended I'm really glad it did have an amazing finale instead of the whole thing being scrapped halfway because some awful shit happening behind the scenes.
I really have no words to describe how masterfully done everything is, the music, the timing, the horror, EVERYTHING.
Sorry for writing an entire essay here, its just that this series means a lot to me and I wanted to say it, I appreciate your work A TON, and I know that any future projects will be as amazing or even more than this. :]
I'll always remember this series fondly. Thanks for everything.
I've been silently following this series since… I wanna say July/August 2020, either right before or after the video of Yoshi jumping off the castle (RIP) came out. I've enjoyed it every step of the way, and watching it and its presentation evolve along that way has been a blast.
To slightly borrow from Mario's closing words, thank you so much for making your videos! I'm really looking forward to seeing how it all comes to a close. Wishing you the best in all your future goings-on!
See you on the 7th.
:)
UPDATE: I missed the start of the premiere by too many minutes for comfort, unfortunately, but I just got finished watching the video. Really, really, REALLY nicely done! I'm impressed - and even a bit awed - in every sense of the word(s). Kudos, and thanks again for making your videos! Good luck with college and all your future efforts!
This was fun while it lasted.
:)
What an amazing series, I felt so immersed in the first half that i forgot it was even horror (that’s a good thing in this case, it makes the element of surprise even better)
This was a great series, hell I think it's been my favourite series.
*_Thank You, Greenio._*
Ive followed this series for a while, and its incredible. Genuinely, you made something really special here. Sobbing that they finally can have their peace
My favorite part was when greenio said "fun's over" and gave us all a beautiful ending to a beautiful series.
Seeing this series grow since the start right to the end was one hell of an experience. excellent finale, and i hope your doing well.
Greenio when I first found this series I was actually intrigued because this had such interesting lore and story behind it I knew I had to keep watching. And I had questions along the way that actually got answered like What Jim wanted with the cartridges what Stanley was and of corse you replied to my little theory on promo show. And I have to say thank you for giving me another series to fall in love with and I’m excited to see where you go next! thank you Greenio.
The era of an era...
Ever since I've discovered this series when looking at creepy SM64 videos, or even the "every copy of Mario 64 is personalized" rumor, I do in fact watched this series as a whole; from start to finish., and throughout everything, I enjoyed every single video that was made for this whole series. Even though it's bittersweet seeing this whole series come to an end, I do in fact just want to say thank you for all of the dedications that you, and so many others have brought to this series, Green. And also, Thank you for everything that you do
Can't wait to see what other stuff that you'll do in the near future
Commenting right after watching- this is a great ending!
I’m glad to have witnessed the tiny project based off of the “every copy is personalized” thing turn into a fully fledged analog horror series!
Amazing work, Greenio!
This was a very special journey for me. These videos felt like I was playing Mario 64 for the first time again, that awe and sense of mystery that surrounds the game that I cherish so much. Thank you Greenio for such a great finale to an already spectacular series, and thank you for reminding me why I love this game.
im genuinely happy i've been looking at this stuff ever since the whole wario-in-mario-64 stuff became huge in may 2020, and to think that it's already been nearly 3 years since then is shocking to realize, until it's also realized how far this entire early-SM64 idea went, even having it's own ARGs and series
it arguably influenced a lot of the Internet, especially regarding iceberg videos, considering if I'm not mistaken the SM64 iceberg was one of the first iceberg videos to get fame
and though icebergs are here to stay it's really interesting to see how a short video of Mario in a hallway led to one of the strongest ARG communities in recent time, all over a single game
all in all after witnessing everything from the original "you want fun" clip, to the iceberg, to the rise of Greenio and SM64 Beta Archive and more, then the Luigi model leak, and the SM64 Beta Archive situation, and the staleness that was 2022, and the general joy of the entire community, it's amazing to have seen and experienced in real time the thousands of people and mass recognition in general.
seeing this series end is actually very bittersweet, especially considering greenio is probably one of the last remaining giants of the entire SM64-ARGs community, but it was amazing to see everything happen in general
thanks for everything wario head
I’m so grateful this series managed to reach its conclusion, I once followed another sm64 analogue series (the one that got cancelled).
I was sad since it never got to conclude with anything or show off what it could do, but you managed to work through the issues and told a beautiful yet eerie story, ya filled the void that got left behind and I’m really happy ehehe…! Thanks for scaring me and giving me hype all these years~
It has been a very wild ride but I enjoyed every mile of it along the way because this was genuinely one of the best Super Mario 64 Beta ARG’s I’ve ever seen that held it’s own while Beta Archives unfortunately fell under. But you stuck around and gave us thrilling new episodes till the very end that mixes two of my many favorite thing’s, internet horror and Super Mario 64. You’ve truly outdone yourself with this bittersweet, nonetheless amazing and beautiful ending to a story that had me hooked since 2020. Congratulations and hope to see more projects from you in the future!
So this is the end of sm64 classified... 2 years of making... really is a end of an era. A great one. Full of mistery, cut content found, etc.
Loved this series and followed it since the beggining, keeping up updates and advancements of what to come next... and here we are. The finale.
Really nice work you have put out greenio ^^
Hey greenio,
I’m from Germany and I really enjoy playing or even watching content about Mario 64. I started watching your content 2020 and I loved it ever since. Thank you SOO much for this epic time. You gave me so much nostalgia which I needed after my grandma’s death.
You are truly a talented person.
Wish you the best on you next projects and also a happy and healthy life 💖
Started to watch this series after I saw Marionova's upload of one of your tapes, during the summer of 2020 after I had graduated high school. Nearly three years later, it's strange to see the end of this crazy entertaining series. Thanks for all the spooks and keeping me on the edge of my seat! Best of luck to whatever you try next!
What i love about these videos is how professional they feel, there's creepy stuff of course, but the levels, the ambientation is so good, i could almost see them being real levels. Even knowing it's not official it makes me feel so immersed, so charmed by these levels, maps, etc. I enjoyed the journey while it lasted, thank you for your tremendous work, and i hope whatever you do from now on makes you happy.
I'm watching the premiere right now, and my GOD, this is amazing.
You've definitely come a long way Greenio.
But it figures that given that this is the finale, of course you'd want to end it off on a banger.
I really liked this! The level design, the story, and the lore were awesome! I liked how you can hear and see parts of the original mario 64 game as if they were starting to make the full game but they still had some ways to go before they finished everything. I also liked how you put one of the demos for the mind electric at the end which just goes fantastically with the rest video. I so happy you were able to make this series and though I'm a bit saddened to how it has to end I'm still happy it ended this way. Fantastic work man!
This was the best 33 mins of horror and story of my life, this is a masterpiece what you created, truly the best goodbye letter for an era of the SM64 Personalized Series you created, you truly are talented and i hope i and everyone else get's to see you again some day, maybe not as Greenio but whatever you call yourself, we'll be here for the ride.
SM64 CLASSIFIED was one of my favourite sm64 stuff on youtube. It is sad to see it go, but every youtuber needs to end something that they started. Thanks Green, for these amazing series.
This ending is quite... interesting.
Jim just lets Stanley be.
Good job, Jim.
I have been watching your videos since 2020, and this year a few weeks ago I remembered your channel and saw the complete series, I really loved it and I appreciate the effort you made because this could really be worth more than any other current series,this is a really masterpiece,thank you very much for the entertainment you have given me you gave to me and all your followers. Thank you greenio
Edit:and I'm sorry if it's not well written, I don't know how to speak English well
That was so fucking cool, like- I enjoyed watching this so much! I'm for real going to miss this, Classified was such an amazing series and I had a great time watching it all come together. I've kind of been here since season 1 started and it's bittersweet seeing it end after 2 years. Really proud of you, Greenio! I'll always keep this series in my heart.
Thank you... for everything in this series!

Jim is truly the MVP of this entire story.

And the story has finally come to a close,Jim has learned his lesson & Stanley is finally at peace,not only that but Jim also took the Tapes & the Personalized copies to make sure that Stanley never suffers ever again which is the right choice & I love the reversed music of The Mind Electric which I find somewhat fitting as the end theme.
Thanks you for creating this amazing Mario 64 ARG series Greenio,I had fun watching it from beginning to end for three years,I don't think any other Mario 64 ARG's will top this,best of luck with Collage & again thanks for everything. 👍

"just my closing thoughts this time.mp4"
I just wanna personally say, as a longtime fan of your series, you've done such incredible work through it all.
Growing up loving SM64 as a kid, and always dreaming about what the game would be like if there truly was more to it, your videos always satisfied that feeling to me, alongside being such an incredible horror series with such incredible lore to it, fitting as I love horror very deeply.
Even since I first started getting more deep into and fascinated with horror since the old days of FNAF, I also grew to love a certain SMW horror hack series called 'the, also known as Coronation Day, which I actually also used to reference a lot in the comments of your videos, out of how invested I was theorizing the lore of it all, and even being inspired to this very day with my own aspirations of writing horror for other personal projects of mine.
Anyways, I just personally wanna say thank you for all the lovely work you've done throughout the years, and I'm also wishing you the best of luck moving forward in life, with collage and whatever else you got planned for the future. You take great care, and you have yourself a wonderful day!
Enjoyed this series from start to finish, especially when the craze started during COVID quarantine.
Also, from what it seems the end dialogue means, I think it means the following:
Every single tape released in this series was from Jim. Every single one. Starting from Genesis and the development of the game and AI activation, to the bugging of a commercial taping (Aftermath) to eventually coming back to reinvestigating the glitches just prior to and in the following year after the official release up to 09.03.97 (the first half of Season 2 and all of Season 1 except 07.29.95). The AI recognized it was Jim that had come back, and as a result, began going crazy again, with Jim documenting all of the oddities and glitches, even coming across his previous encounters (explains the dead Mario in the Inverted Castle Plexus moat from 01.22.96) Jim’s tone here indicates regret, which is where I think 07.29.95’s context comes back into play based on what Greenio had said about it before in relation to Genesis: Jim feels massive regret and wishes that he had killed or prevented the AI from taking over, which is why 07.29.95 is Jim’s failure - hence why the AI “dies” in that tape.
Side note the Nintendo mania side piece, is I think Mario processing the grief of Luigi dying in Promo show and his depiction here is only in his head (evident by flashes of just Mario and eventually just himself at the last part
)
Im not totally sure if I got this right but if I’m on the right track then I am fine with that.
i gotta say, i love that fuckin' 70s hanna-barbera look that was given to mario and luigi for that nintendo mania segment, really unique and creative way to illustrate the brothers. good job
everything about this series was great, since 2020 i've been intrigued. this episode truly was the most quality one yet, using authentic hardware to replicate the feeling of it being real.
Thank you for the effort you have put into this, i been watching the series, i have been watching since the start, sorry for some times that i asked for links though, but great work you has put into this.
i've watched all these sm64 classified videos through and they've all been very enjoyable. I love the eerie atmosphere that exists in every video.
this has been very fun for me, watching the series evolve and grow.
i will miss this series, including the whole mario 64 phenomena stuff, as it seems to be dying now
but i will always remember classified. very fun stuff.
I'm going to be honest I don't really have words for this other than just a thank you for creating this whole story and I feel lucky to have watched from the beginning of the series to end of it.
Freaking amazing. You did a very good job. What a amazing series from the start to the finish, also leaving out references from past videos. Amazing job greenio.
Damn this was really good! I love the tiny detail of Luigi's lisp actually being animated on his mouth
What a fantastic conclusion to one of the greatest analog horror series ever. Really enjoyed every moment of it and the references made from previous videos: Nintendo Mania's segments, the "four doors four challenges" room, a derelict JRB with the eel having died of old age (I presume), Stanley's appearance, that white void room from SM64DS, the inverted/mirrored castle grounds area and the drowned Mario corpse from 01.22.96, Endless Stairs + chomping sounds, that core from the non-canon video of the Fourth Floor, etc. The closing speech was magnificent. I look forward to see what the future holds.
This was a ride I will never, ever forget. Thank you.
32:47 I am 98% certain that the music is a portion of the song “the mind electric” that was reversed/distorted.
To be specific it sounds most like a the last lines of the song that has been distorted:
“When it grows bright, the particles start to marvel having made it through the night.
Never the ponder, wether electric calming if you look at it right”
Not sure it means anything, but I think it’s interesting (and it’s also one of my favourite songs so im happy to see it recognised)
It sounds more like demo 1 of the mind electric
it indeed is the mind electric
Beautiful.
Thank you for an awesome series, Greenio
This series was great taking something that we all care about and turn into a twisted into a analog horror series this was a really good series and hopefully you proud of the people that you entertained hope you have a good day bro
Thank you for the incredibly fascinating adventure. This was an outstanding series and a wonderful conclusion. Loved this!!!
Pretty cool. The levels looked amazing and I really liked the bit of analog-horror spook when seeing the hall of Peach portraits, matching the bit of dread that caused. In a way, I liked how low-key the actual supernatural conflict and resolution turned out to be. ~w~
It’s all been epic. It’s all been awesome, but unfortunately, things come to an end. I will never forget this truly inspiring journey, and I’m sure all of us will, let alone had. Thank you for the memories.
Man you really came a long way.
After this series ends,in still gonna watch any content that comes up next
Thank you for giving me a better analog horror series, am so grateful for your series, Greenio.
This is amazing! I remember seeing 2020 Mario 64 tapes gives me soo much nostalgia and i cant wait to watch it in the next 3 days to the end thank you Greenio for everything and the scary tapes you did in 2020
yeah
THANKS FOR EVERYTHING GREEN. I LOVED THIS SERIES SO MUCH. THANK YOU.
That connection to the original video years ago was amazing. Thank you so much for the upmost excellent Mario 64 content.
Green, you don't know the happiness of seeing this, I am more than excited, these feelings of seeing an era of 3 years end cannot be described, simply thank you for your effort and even so when you finish this great series, I will continue to watch your videos, many Thank you and I'll be at the premiere :')
This was an awesome series. Amazing work, Greenio.
Thank you for sharing your creative thought with us, Greenio! I have only stumbled upon this by accident a month ago, yet it has made a mark!
I can’t believe this amazing series is finally coming to an end, I’m gonna miss this series, but all good things must come to an end! I can’t wait!!!
seeing 21:06 gave me a wave of excitement.
that place was probably my favourite throughout the series.
and no, that's not personal bias speaking.
_(if you know, you know.)_
SPOILER
It’s 01.22.96’s inverted land with the blood lake
The Classified series comes to an end! You’ve made a truly amazing series, Greenio.
I can’t wait to watch the finale on premiere!!
It's truly been an amazing three years of this Era, Nice job on this whole series Greenio!
Absolutely spectacular, in some ways this is the perfect epilogue to not just this series but the mario 64 iceberg stuff as a whole. Here's to what comes next down the line!
I have been watching since June of 2020 and all I have to say is how excited to see this end. Thank you greenio for this adventure
2 years since the first tapes.... During this time I was watching each video, feeling tension every time Mario turned around, waiting for a giant head, or and distorted Bowser to appear. Even with the HL2 sfx or the constant errors, you made not only me, but also your entire audience feel constant paranoia, fear and tension. Greenio, thanks for giving us one of the best psychological horror series I've seen in my life, I hope that in your next projects we see something similar or even better.
I might have an idea for an sm64 arg like this… but that will be in the far, far future
I do have something to say…
YOU made me appreciate sm64, arg and stuff like this
YOU inspired me to think of something like this
YOU made me, because of the amazing storytelling, have respect for all of the characters
YOU have made me want a sequel to this ( even if it is the far, far future )
This all, because of you
And I thank you for that.
:]
