The Mystery of the 1995 Build of M64 ► • The Mystery of the 199...
At the very bottom of the Super Mario 64 Iceberg, a phrase labeled "the internal plexus of the castle" caught the eyes of many people. But what is it exactly? In this video we're going to cover it from A to Z, but the mystery of the castle plexus is confusing because it has a lot of different ways that it can be analyzed. It's not a surface level mystery like L is Real 2401 once was (before Luigi was actually found in the files). So sit back and enjoy my slightly unsettling tale about Princess Peach's mysterious castle... But beware - every copy of Super Mario 64 is personalized!

Someone actually sent a letter to Nintendo asking all sorts of questions, one of them being about Princess Peach’s castle. Nintendo responded with, “Princess Peach has two castles; one for her art gallery, and one to live in.”
(Fun fact: in the list of questions, the person also asked “how do bomb-ombs reproduce,” and Nintendo responded “with gunpowder and love.”)
There's gotta be more than 2, due to Peach's Castle having different layouts and locations in almost every game.

@@timurmotigullin579 maybe each Mario game is in a different universe where theres Peach’s castle is completely different?
@@hakai1014 odyssey confirms a timeline sooo
It's easy to explain everything:
Bowser had Kamek change the interior of the castle to include all those weird traps like infinite stairs, boos in the courtyard, trapdoor leading to the first bowser fight, etc. Sure, Kamek doesn't appear in game, but he still exists in the Mario universe. He could've just left once his job was complete.
It's weird. Of course this explanation is the most likely one in-universe, especially with how fleshed out Kamek's abilities have become since 64, but back then it was so... eerie having that fear of the unknown. Why is the castle like this? Why is it so desolate?

I have come to a conclusion u are smart same for you Hex
Why the hell would Kamek have any involvement in this, he had no critical importance in the storyline at the time of 64’s release 🤣
@@101thirstairborne6 He was shown to work for Bowser in Super Mario RPG. He was the leader of the Magikoopas. He was also in Yoshi's Island.

RE the no furniture, nintendo officially commented in an email to someone that Peach is so rich she has 2 castles, one for furniture, and one for art.
Wario : you want fun wario show u fun

So I guess the two castles in galaxy 2 arent a mistake then

I mean, in super mario 3d world we can see her undies int the intro where we can see... It's solid.
My theory is that peach was trying new dresses when she suddenly got stuck in one and couldn't take it off. It stayed there so much that it became a solid thing.
Thats why she doesn't have a toilet. She just cant.
Honestly, given the overall inconsistency between her castle in the games (some even without a moat!) I've come to the conclusion that Peach simply just has multiple castles.
Peach just likes to flex with her castle collection
Forbes top 10 royals has most dignitaries wealth measured by the amount of castles you own.
Peach: I am a princess with 5 castles
That’s why you don’t see posers like King George III in the number 1 spot.
I mean, bowser has 8 castles so I wouldn't be suprised
@@logangaskill4 Bowser has way more than just 8 castles. He keeps building new ones with each game, and the ones in Super Mario World were all destroyed by Mario and Luigi.
I think since Bowser keeps invading they have to relocate or sometimes just change up the interior, I think in SM64 Bowser has simply changed the interior
Well according to that one text post about the person's dad who called/sent letters to Nintendo of Europe as a kid, Peach has one castle for her art and another castle for her furniture
Whenever someone who uses the phrase that includes their supposed family member who works at a specified game company, they most often than not are lying.
@@zigazav1 he said their dad sent letters, not work there.

@Alessia Morgana You're misusing that term.
@Alessia Morgana Right, because misreading something is the act of a Karen. Keep using the term like that and it will lose its meaning and just become a term to describe anyone who makes any mistake. I do like that term, I am not against its use, this is just not the right use.

my brain melted when you said he built the castle before creative mode was invented.... BEFORE!!!! That's a hell of an ambitious project there and i salute!!!! :O I don't think i could ever get tired of hearing/learning/theorizing about other dimensions or parallel dimensions.... :3
He probably used mods to fly and get items. Pretty sure that’s what most people did before creative mode
Duplication glitches were very abundant before creative mode. it was crazy over powered lol
I used an exploit for infinite resource, but that was it. It was definitely time consuming.
The Mario mash up castle can’t even compare to that thing!!!
I always thought that Bowser's magic was what caused the castle to look like that. He morphed the interior into something more akin to what he wanted... Or the interior is a sort of pocket dimension that looks loosely like what it would but not quite.
My headcanon is that Bowser just took all the furniture

i always understood it that bowser "corrupted" the castle to make it into a deadly labyrinth
I mean, it makes sense
My headcannon is that Peach is so unbelievably rich that she has a castle for her art (64) a castle for doing her royal duties (odyssey) and a castle she lives in.
Edit: I know her castles appear in other games too, I only mentioned those games because they were the only ones that were mentioned in the video and the most of the mario games I have played didn't have the inside of her castle (Galaxy) or it appeared once in the background (3d World).
Edit 2: I'm not saying those are her only castles, you can stop pointing out games that have other castles. I just wanted to share my explanation for why her castle in 64 is filled with art and not furniture.
Considering Bowser has at least 8 castles, that's not a far-fetched theory.
well, having an art castle when your enemy is a sorcerer is a bad idea, which is why she was stuffed in glass for the game. But, Toads are dumb and Peach listens to them, so i digress.
The castle she lives in is the one in the nsmb games
John Quach he just put the koopa kids in peach’s castles and Mario had to go in and wreck them
I like this one
I can’t believe that Mario 64 was released almost 30 years ago and to this day people still talk about the game
Hey Healmore what’s up?
It's more like almost 25 years ago considering that it released in 1996 but still is good to see that the fanbase is still huge.
@King K. Rool that and ROM Hacks and speedruns. Mario 64 is legendary among games for its quality, impact on 3D gaming, and the dedicated fans who rework Nintendo’s masterpiece into something more, like the ROM Hackers SKELUX and Kaze, or machinamists like MarioMario54321. Super Mario 64 will never die!
Now u can play it on the switch, too! I've already just about 100% Galaxy, and then on to 64!
The OG games (NES/SNES, 64, GameCube, and PS 1/2) had a lot of secrets build into it and many OG games no matter how many times you play it still can be fun.

Cursed bup
peach's castle has been in a lot of games, it might be interesting to see a comparison of all of them, with a focus on how things are moved around and changed. the paper mario 64 version in particular has a much more believable and fleshed-out version, with its library, kitchen, bedroom, ect.
That one is probably her living Castle where she actually lives considering the.. emptiness of the others.
My theory on this one is built around a sort of “string theory” concept. For those unaware, string theory (or at least wormhole string theory) is the theory that when the universe was first created, it had holes in it that were linked together by pathways called strings, which were then stretched out when the universe expanded. This is sort of an inverse concept. The castle was mysteriously shrunk on the outside, and the interior areas and sections are completely different locations linked by “strings”. When the castle was first built, the doors were all linked to the room they went to with strings. Then, somehow, the castle was shrunk. The interior rooms were warped out into space, still connected to the exterior castle by the doors. If a toad were to drill through the wall, they would find and empty black nothingness. If they were to go through a door on this side, they would find themselves once again in the void, as they went through the opposite side of the door where the infinite void exist. The only way to escape would be to go back out through the physical hole they made. Peach was being kept in a physical room at the top of the exterior castle, while mario was running through the interior sections in space that had been warped and altered by bowser and his minions.

@@1Spring No, no it doesn't.
I mean I guess if this is your headcanon, but the post above has nothing to do with lore or string theory

“So Mario? How did you come back after defeating dharkon?”
“6:45”
nice
As a child I had nightmares about the painitng of lethal lava land and was too scared to jump in that painting. My brother had to clear that course
My theory is that Bowser has twisted the castle with magic/star power
That explains the magic paintings, the fact that nothing is aligned correctly or actually fits and certain rooms are missing
Later in 2034:
Hey we found the wario apparition boss fight,King bomb-ombs child, A Link camio, and the bowsers secret room!!!
Lol
Imagine knowing that Bowser's secret room actually was a hoax made by one of the SM64 youtubers.
I feel like a lot of the "Liminal Spaceyness" of Mario 64 comes from the fact that devs had to make the absolute most out of the console's relatively limited resources. Everything in M64 exists to be interacted with using Mario's specific toolset, so of course, there'd be no need for furniture that doesn't fly at you, a functional castle interior, etc.
The result is a world that is empty of everything except things with direct use, one that clearly fails to be as full or as realized as what it's textures and music and theming depicts, but fundamentally ergonomic, designed to light up the player's brain in gratifying ways through paring down world interaction solely to what is intuitive and operable with Mario's platforming.
It's almost like "fairy circles", mushrooms that grow in a circular pattern so akin to something of intentional, human design that it spurs the natural intrigue and curiosity of the humans that recognize it as such with no frame of reference for the actual natural phenomena at play; but here, no such natural phenomena exist. If anything, it is the opposite: a space of pure artifice with the scantest frills of false naturalism.
I'm probably being a stick in the mud for not entertaining the creepypasta aspects here, and if that's your jam, go for it- but I feel like the weird interplay between intentionally designed space and the breakdown of that space's diegesis under even slight scrutiny is fascinating.
Its a castle for her art gallery, not her actual castle
There was one time I was scared to go to the basement because I though i would find dead luigi, then there was another time I was scared of the top floor because of the ceiling going dark, there is just something a bit creepy in that room
Btw my first language is spanish so sorry if there's any grammatical error
Dont worry. My first language is portuguese. And you did well
Well, I guess you thought it was personalized.
r3b00t3d kawaii eu tbm
Do you think this has anything to do with the personalised copies theory?
Why you thought there was a dead Luigi on the basement? It was some kind of rumor you've heard or you just imagined that by yourself?
If there was a day and night cycle, peach would be starved dead by, like, a week. idk i don't have a concept of time. plus the iceberg seems to think she's behind the stained glass window.
Peach is a hostage, I think it’s safe to assume that Bowser would feed her
Mario 64 but you need to complete the game in 3 days or Peach dies.
@@desu2000 In my copy, if you took too long, you'd catch glimpses of the princess around the castle-only very thin and pale. She would dissapear as soon as you angled the camera for a proper look, but it always used to creep me out as a kid. And when you beat the game...she didn't come out of the stained glass window. Or appear at all, really. The window was noticably gone, leaving a hole, but nothing came out. Post game, any time you looked at the hole with the camera, you heard this hollow ambience. This game, man.
Peach is likely a static prisoner, of sorts. While not being capable of eating, breathing, etc., she may also not even need to do so in such a magic prison concealing her in a way that the passage of time has little to no affect to her bodily functions, therefore explaining how at the end when she is released she appears to be in a condition with little to no difference than as we see her in the start.
Wait a minute, where is the Waluigi dating simulator. I could have sworn that was in the game.
It's what you get when you enter the hidden painting in the Bowser Room
You actually hear Miyamoto San himself say "it was my favourite" in a distorted voice as you load in
Well, if every copy is personalized, the game knows exactly what you wanted!
I got the budget "Francis" Dating Simulator and it was just some nerd who yelled "HIGH TECHNICALLLL!!"
You must be mistaken. It was Mario 64 DS, not the original game.

I still remember one of my childhood dreams about SM64DS, more specifically about unlocking Waluigi. My dream was that you could use the cannon to enter the Peach painting on the castle exterior. Once you do this, you'd be in a boss battle against Petey in a strange, generic castle room. From here the details go a bit hazy but once you defeat Petey I remember things starting to get creepy including a creepy message displayed to the user but sadly I can't remember the details or if Waluigi actually unlocked.
Tl;dr my brain contributed to this mess years ago and is kindly preventing me from sharing the important details.
I think there was a rumor about that, actually. After you beat the Piranha Plant boss, you end up back in the castle grounds as Waluigi, but they're completely flooded with water. You then grab a Power Flower, which gives you a sort of lightning powerup that you use to break something and drain the water.
AJH Gaming Oh huh, that's interesting...
The part where he speaks about the lack of furniture reminded me of a post in which someone asked Nintendo a total of 50 questions about SM64 via email (such as "How do Bob-Ombs reproduce?" which was answered with "Through a mixture of gunpowder and love.") and one of the questions was about the lack of furniture, which was answered with Peach having two castles: a castle meant to store paintings and a castle meant to store furniture.

Honestly I just love the Luigi’s Mansion music in the background! Great game and music and really fits in with the whole creepy factor. Great video as always Swanky! Stay awesome!
Even as a kid the most mind boggling thing to me is how does the metal cap stage spit you out at the waterfall when you only access it by going deeper into the castle and HMC
You're telling me the place I practically considered as a second home in my childhood is in fact some creepy eerie cursed stuff of nightmares?
Interesting...
I’m disappointed in the Iceberg for missing my conspiracy. Specifically “Wet Dry World is a model in a dumpster”
I remember when I was a kid and "accidentally" clipped through the wall in SM64DS and discovered that the castle was empty. And then glitched myself in the courtyard only because I wanted to reach the top of the castle early and the old vanish cap stage with other characters besides Wario only for discovering that I couldn't do that (because the loading zone wasn't active so I basically softlocked myself). Good times.
You guys ever think about where peach made the cake? I never saw a kitchen
She just typed /spawncake
@@flamingphoenixleo223 /give @s supermario64:cake 1
This is a very interesting video, I always found the Internal Plexus theory confusing but this helped me understand it a lot more
A lot of games (and maybe cartoons) use this concept. I always just imagine the exterior to be an exaggeration
I presume L returned so he can ultimately defeat the Wario Apparition
My theory on the living spaces of the castle, you need the power of the stars to fuel the castle so they can morph the castle and all surrounding area to different shapes and places, hence both why in different versions of the castle (ie: mario odyssey and galaxy) the castle is in a different place and looks different in general, and why the inside can vary from game to game
I remember being terrified of the Boo at the hallway of the castle
Same
I was afraid of water/ice levels
I am an adult now and I still am terrified of going into the basement
I was always scared of going into the basement of the castle. The hallways in the basement always creeped me out, I always felt like something was going to pop out of a corner.
AT
Yeah, me too!
I just wanted to know who was peaches interior designer who decided to paint the walls like a sky with cartoon clouds. It looks ridiculous.
SwankyBox , 'Skelux' did a cool video about what Peach's castle really looks like inside about two years ago; have you seen it?
3:10 Oh, question answered.
y'know, i think the devs didn't care about technicalities too much, just cause kids are too dumb
As a kid playing 64 DS, there was always something vaguely unsettling about it. I think it's the emptiness of the only other inhabitants being ghostly toads, and how every other character is hostile.
None of the levels ever truly felt safe to me, and the castle was almost worse due to its near lack of enemies, yet still being infested with ghosts.
I was always too scared to enter the courtyard after the Boos appeared, and as soon as I unlocked the moat door I always entered the basement that way. Until I got a friend to unlock Luigi and get the BBH stars, I played through most of the game with just Mario and Yoshi.
when I was younger I always thought that Bowser had cursed the castle using the power stars. Using their power, he sealed everyone/thing within distant worlds accessed through the paintings, created an infinite staircase, and set trap doors. He could have even been responsible for the existence of the basement and the haunted courtyard. The actual power held within a power star in Mario 64 is never revealed either, let alone 120 of them, so it wouldn't be too crazy to assume that they were strong enough to enchant an entire castle. After the stars are returned to the castle and peach is saved, I assumed that it returned to normal. All the furniture would return, the toads wouldn't be bound to a single vanishing state, and heck, maybe even Luigi would appear. It would look like it does in Mario Odyssey. But we never get to explore the Mario 64 world in a state were Bowser is gone and Peach has returned, so we never find out.
1:47 Scared the heck out of me
Interesting enough, the Princess castle layout is different in every game.
I always thought Peach's Castle in sm64 and it's remake was super creepy. As a kid I didn't unlock Luigi in the ds version because I was too scared of Big Boo's Haunt. Every room was always unsettling to me though. Everything being so empty, barely any characters being there at all, Bowser's creepy laugh with the jingle and text saying you can't enter a door. Even the Peach's Castle theme was somehow scary to me, probably just cause it was so closely associated with that place. I felt a lot more at home in something like Delfino Plaza or the Comet Observatory since they were much more populated and made a lot more sense.

@@JumpyWizzzard, yeah, the castle is just soooooo empty! It's too empty even for me! However, I don't get mad by how empty the castle is. I like the fact that the castle is like a big maze because I even have dreams about it!
Also, Big Boo's Haunt makes sense of being empty because a haunted house can't have anything interesting in it. Only ghosts, scary pianos and... Vanish caps?

"Well there is one piece of furniture.. " *cuts away from grandfather clock* "The piano"
This theory is scary.
my headcanon is that Bowser laid some kind of curse on the castle to transform it into a giant trap for Mario, and as soon as Peach is freed, the curse is lifted and it becomes a normal, liveable castle. There was no kitchen or oven to bake a cake for Mario when we were inside to see, so how else would you explain it? Is Bowser just a giant allegory for the experimental AI that personalizes the traps of the game to your psychology?
This is why Wario was locked in the mirror
wuw
Simple explanation: Peach is a Time Lord. Castle is a TARDIS with a chameleon circuit. Daisy, Princess Toadstool, Paulina, and Rosalina are different regenerations of Peach.
The way y'all take this game so seriously is so amusing to me
I think this stuff is purely for fun, and brings back the nostalgia of old creepypastas. I wouldn't say people are taking it incredibly seriously.
@@lacedupangel I see
The bowser room, first discovered by Christopher “Oney” O’Neill, was once meant to be a sacred place. But it’s image was soiled by miyamoto’s dark intentions, and thus became an area of destruction and despair. Never go to the bowser room.
How do you get to it and why not go to it pls I would like answers
Jamsybob rs hrmmm okay okay fine. You just go into dire dire docks upon your usual business and wait in the secret cave for 5.23 minutes. Mario then turns his head at a 47 degree angle and begins SWEARING 😬 but after that the screen goes black and after a zoom out on Mario’s bloody chapped lip you will enter the bowser room.

Unfortunately yes, and I actually think SwankyBox believes it.
He's not the sharpest tool in the shed
@@sgillman16 Oh come on, it's just a bit of fun. He always refers to the Iceberg's weirdness as "Creepypasta" stuff anyway.
*Insert dark foreboding comment, to troll people over this, for fun and laughs.*
SwankyBox is just having fun, ok? It's fun to humour these creepy theories sometimes.
@@KittyKatty999 it stops being fun when it's destroying the game's legacy, and trumps efforts to find legitimate beta info.
If you try to look up beta footage or new secrets found now, you just get hundreds upon hundreds of fake videos.
What part of that is funny?
Just one more reason why I can't stand generation Z. They are like a parasite. They think life is one big joke, and now they've attacked a beloved game they weren't even born to see the release of.
They steal our stuff and turn it into a joke. Like the Internet.
They should've made the castle EXTRA BIG so the art gallery and the floors can fit in!
1:00 Matrix 64
Can't believe that Oney's Bowser Room edit is still tricking people, it's honestly hilarious.
every copy of minecraft is personalized.
change my mind.
*Shush*
It's too soon to reveal the dark secrets, within the endless cubes.
@@KittyKatty999 too late
Super Game Master really?
I WANT HEROBR
The forbidden world
Technically true
People who realised the castle cannot fit inside itself are gonna shit bricks when they play, like, any other 3d game
I honestly pray that you know this wario apparation and personalized beta build are fake.
I wouldn't be at all surprised if you believed it, but it is not real
do you also tell your friends that the clowns feet arent actually that big, theyre just shoes
@@mrfrog1794 I honestly pray that you know clowns ' feet aren't as big as their shoes.
I wouldn't be at all surprised if you believed it, but it's not real.
I honestly pray that you know this video is (a joke) fake.

I have always found the castle to be creepy and honestly scary. From the emptiness feeling, the ghosts in the hallway and courtyard, the creepy basement. The castle feels so dead. And especially that laugh bowser does when you try and enter an area you can’t enter yet. Anyone else felt that too?
That's really creppy...
*i like it*
Hey swanky, please make a video about the Bowser room, and what is it
the bottom of the iceberg feels too much like a dumb rumor for me honestly. I think it's mostly fan bs and creepypasta crap.
It *is* mostly fan bs and creepypasta garbage. Not everything has a satisfying reason in a game made near the advent of 3D gaming. Most things can be explained with "the devs were bad at ___ because they literally had never done 3D game development before."
Wasn’t there a letter as a response to a fan by Nintendo that says the castle in Mario 64 is literally Peach’s second castle that just holds art, and she has another one for living purposes?
Sandy: "Tell me, since when did you have two houses?"
Patrick: "When I ran out of space to put my stuff!"
First
*It appears your skull has been bashed inward by a grand piano*
Not gonna lie, these SM64 iceberg videos are my guilty pleasure lol
Nice video, Swanky!
This is very Similar to a Roblox Game called Robot 64, in which Robot 64's Hub looks very small but it's big on the Inside, and Each door leads to a level, but the thing is, that each room is loaded in, to create a illusion that Robot 64's Hub is big.
Can’t wait for more iceberg videos!
in an interview, when shigeru miyamoto was asked about the castle plexus, shigeru miyamoto responded by throwing the inteviewer inside of the wet dry world painting
I once read that Peach has two castles. one for her furniture and one for her art.
i actually like the idea of a game being personalised (not like basing on the conscious obviously) but on every download has something slightly off about it just enough to notice
Wow 2 years ago when I got this game and console again from a flea market vendor, I didn’t think I’d ever see new RUclips videos based on the game
It’s so crazy
dude, I love your videos so much.
That minecraft thing reminds me of how I tried to build a spooky Princess Peach's castle in GZDoom without paying attention to how it's actually built ingame.
"This castle has zero furniture. It's like someone spent all the money on art, and totally forgot about that part."
Hey, I can actually explain away this one. I don't know about the validity of this, but someone from Tumbler said their husband E-mailed Nintendo of Europe, and asked like 50 questions about Mario 64. One of those questions was "Why is there no furniture in Princess Peach's Castle?" to which Nintendo of Europe allegedly responded, saying that Princess Peach actually has 2 castles. One for her artwork, and one for her furniture.
Again this is from a Tumblr post so I can't exactly say with 100% certainty that this is the case, but going by pure logic, this just makes a lot of sense, doesn't it?
Here is how it works:
>Castle is cursed.
>Curse is spooky.
>Seal cursed castle under the earth and build new castle on top.
>Live happily for a while.
>The curse eventually seeps up into the new castle.
>Repeat.
>Its an endless stack of progressively more cursed castles under the earth.
I like to imagine that's also how the evil dungeons of roguelike dungeon crawlers are formed.
The one thing theorists like to exclude/ignore of SM64, is that Bowser stole and used the power stars for evil purposes. If he used their power to create magical paintings that contains worlds within them, trapped Peach and the Toads within the walls of the castle, letting Boos run amok in the castle garden area, turned stairs into a looping staircase, makes a Peach face portrait transform into his that tricks Mario falling into a fake floor, created a submarine within a magical water world for some purpose that was in front of a giant garage door that leads out of the magical world and back into the real Mushroom Kingdom world, so without doubt Bowser would likely warp the whole interior of the castle to his liking! His disembodied voice was the first thing that talked to Mario when Mario first entered the castle. Bowser is an mad artist and kinda became part of the castle as well!
When he said parallel universe my mind went straight to terminal montage
tbh i never viewed this castle as a creepy place, but i do find it odd how there are almost no windows..
As soon as you get in the castle and you stand on the sun in the middle of the floor then look up to the roof you will go to a secret hidden level that I loved going to it when I was younger
