I don't know if this happened to anyone else, but I unlocked Sonic instead. I must've gotten the instructions confused, but it's cool. Sonic has some pretty rad abilities, like the spindash which you can use to knock Bowser into the bombs instead of grabbing his tail. Saves a lot of time during speedruns.
There’s no way to beat him. For your own safety, you better still be holding the control stick away from him. The only way out is to shut down the console
what would really seal this is if there was a noise effect that played after the 2401st run around the fountain. i can’t think of any other nintendo secret that isn’t accompanied by a sound effect and / or text.
this went better than expected, somehow i found a fourth floor, it had a Bowser picture and a giant bed, and there was this Mario without a face, telling me to leave
I like to think of the absolute chaos if you could bring this video back to 1996 on a VHS tape and let people watch it. Copies would be made, and Nintendo would be dumbfounded as to how someone pulled it off. People would argue even harder that L is real and Nintendo would have to publicly release a statement on IGN or Nintendo Power that someone made it all up somehow. Man that chaos would be great😂
By personalization standards since every copy of Super Mario 64 is personalized, every way to unlock Luigi differs from copy to copy. But when I did this, I got Sonic The Hedgehog
I remember many years ago I was circling around the fountain because I was bored and couldn’t believe my eyes after I entered a level. I COULD PLAY AS LUIGI!!
bro, why am i able to play as Grave Digger, also i literally drove into the wall outside of the courtyard and it revealed a race track, this doesnt even make sense 😭
Looking through the game's code, it seems like you only need 118 stars to unlock Luigi, and any higher number will also work. I only have 50 stars in my save file, so if anyone can confirm this please tell me!
Once I saw the video, I thought it was an horror/ glitch Super Mario 64 video, but then I found out that you were trying to make the video a lot more classic instead of using the normal quality of the game. I like it! 👍🏻
@@Monooneaxis You truly did a great job in this, In fact, I thought that this video was made in 2014 or 2009, but I found out that you made it in this year, which made me a little confused because it all looked like really old, I love the way you used the VHS filter and low quality to make it look very old!
How do you suggest I keep track of how many times I loop around the fountain? I attempted this several times, but I keep miscounting and having to start over again
Easy: get a Nintendo DS and a copy of Super Mario 64 DS instead, play until you unlock Big Boo's haunt, then get to the Luigi painting at the top floor of the mansion, play through the sublevel, kill King Boo, pick up his L key, and head to the room with Princess Peach's Slide, and open the door with an L above it. Enjoy!
So should I try this or the other one where you have to get all stars, go to BItDW, collect 999 coins, beat him, do 2401 laps around the fountain, go to BItFS rinse and repeat, and do the same for BItSky and collect 999 coins then Luigi comes down and beats Bowser for you?
thanks for the vid cuz SEE I KNEW LUIGI WAS ALWAYS THERE!!! >:D all those hecking n00bz who made fun of me!!! wait til they see TEH ULTIM8 PROOF!!! rated 5 starz shared commented AND SUBBED URE EPIK DUDE XDD
I thought this would go into analog horror territory But hey, it brings nostalgia I did have a bad feeling at the end tho, the boos weren't there and I'm sure luigi's eyes were redish :/
I wish Nintendo made L is Real in Mario 64 switch or in Mario Odyssey, I wish they did it where the whole castle was available and you could go do the L Is Real fountain thing in Odyssey although they would have to knock it to about 204 times because that would be insane or 201 or just jump in the fountain 201 times but to have an L is Real would be wild. Or you jump in the fountain 201 times walk outside then come back inside and then a pipe is in the fountain and then you jump in the pipe and N64 Luigi comes out and you become N64 Luigi and unlock the costume with new audio and everything
De n64 kan niet 2 spelers tegelijk handelen, dus was luigi wel gemaakt maar word hij nooit gebruikt. Wat ik wil zeggen is dat dit waarschijnlijk niet klopt.
I can't believe we just found out about this 22 hours ago.
L is real

Do you happen to have Mario 64 on the Sega Saturn?
Thats a good question ngl XDD
Same here, i got sonic
wait but wouldnt it take longer to unlock sonic THEN beat the game other than just beating it normally?
I unlocked bomber man

It's 2024.

he's joking
I cant wait for that wii phone theyre apparently releasing next year!!!

Man the nostalgia…it pretty much checked every box from one of those late 2000s tutorials. Great work!

He was, is, and forever will be real

@AxxNotAxe, they shared the source code a while back, and there were scrapped Luigi models in it, so L was truly real all this time
I suspected that he was in super mario 64 becuase of the L is Real 2401 sign on the fountain

I'll leave your video a 5 star rating it was pretty epic!

Awesome dude!
Wtf?!?! I thought this was a hoax!!!

EVEN THE BLUE INTRO SCREEN
This looks good! Cant wait to try it in my N64!
yea bro its awsum :D
@@Monooneaxisuh bro i tried it and i have some problems… please help😅
what problems
Yea i also have problems with this...
My problem is...
I don't have a N64
XD
incredible how this game is already 12 years old !!
cant wait to unlock him :D
I tried this on my n64 and Luigi had a glock. I am now returning the game because I am scared
You were right to be scared, he just killed a healthcare CEO
I was 100% expecting this to be a screamer LOL
Thanks for the idea :P
Wait why aren’t people talking about this?? This is kind of a big deal to happen for this game so many years after launch
Finally, after 27 years i can now play as Luigi.
Great tutorial dude!

Love this nostalgic video, imagine Windows Movie Maker being brought to Windows 11.
I actually edited this in wmm 6.0 HD on windows 11
thanks so much for this, i was starting to think it was impossible to get him
I love the Windows Movie Maker title cards and font used
Finally, I’ve been trying to find this out for YEARS on end.
Finally, a tutorial for this that isn't scary!
It only took 28 years but we can finally play as Luigi‼️‼️
Maybe the real Luigi is the friends we made along the way.
lol
I knew there was a way! Can’t wait to try this tomorrow after school!
Thanks, my US copy has Luigi now.
This is the kind of video I would watch when I was a kid and I’d try it and be disappointed when it didn’t work.
oh my god he's actually real! i tried it and it worked tysm!!
Thank you for the tutorial!
Does Luigi have a different Star counter than Mario, like in Super Mario Galaxy?
When you played as Luigi you went from 120 to 0 Stars
yes
By personalization standards since every copy of Super Mario 64 is personalized, every way to unlock Luigi differs from copy to copy. But when I did this, I got Sonic The Hedgehog

bro, why am i able to play as Grave Digger, also i literally drove into the wall outside of the courtyard and it revealed a race track, this doesnt even make sense 😭
Seems legit! Gotta try this when I get on the game. Does it matter which diraction that you run around the fountain?
Yes u gotta go clockwise around the fountain otherwise it wont work!
@@Monooneaxis i went the other way and i just wasted 5 fucking hours 😔
damn :(
Thank God, This one doesn't have the jumpscare from the famous zombie from K-Fee Car commercial.
What editor do you use?
Windows movie maker 6 hd
Thanks for the tutorial! Does this work for the Wii U virtual console version?
idk probably
On emulator?
bro switched rom hacks like we wouldn’t notice
I would never :o
Luigi underrated
Thx it worked! Gotta tell my friends about this, they're not gonna believe it! (Also I rated 5 stars)
Make sure to do it clockwise. Do it anticlockwise and you unlock evil mario who deletes your save
Why do I feel like this was an actual video I watched in 2007 😂😂
Vhs effect, Windows movie maker and a Super mario 64 hoax makes it feel old i guess :D
@@Monooneaxis I know, it just feels super authentic! You did an amazing job capturing the 2000s vibe!
thx XP
Rated 5 stars! Gonna have to try this myself!
Edit: I unlocked Peach somehow??? What did I do wrong?
OMG it actually worked I can finally play as green mario thx 5/5
we need a speedrun of this
I circled by accident 2402 times and it didn’t work :( is there a quick fix?
Gotta reset the n64 dude
OMGGG O_O I KNEW ITTTT. gonna try this, wish me luck ROFFLLLL
He even has his voice pitched up like in Melee!
Instructions unclear. My game somehow turned into the ds version and i unlocked waluigi.
Ok me modded my sm64ds to have lugee coloured as Waluigi
Now THAT is a brag.
😢 This give me some nostalgia
Came when thr algoritm remembet me on 10 years 😂 and have 1M or more
ok
I tried this and it worked! but I think my game is haunted now cause am seeing weird figures from far away in my gameplay
This is the kind of video that was either made 16 years ago or 6 days ago with either 8 views or 80,000 views.

it wont work :[
