You just weren’t looking hard enough, I know a special cheat code that makes him appear, but only I know how to do it, if you can’t get it to work you’re probably doing it wrong.
I miss that shit. I was a 90s kid, but late 90s (born in 98). By the time I was in middle school, the internet was big and any rumor could be easily disproven. Wasn't nearly as fun as trying to figure that shit out on my own. I remember how hard it was to unlock Silver Surfer in Ultimate Alliance. Those were the days.
Not a Mario rumour and not a widespread one but I'll never forget my cousin telling me that you could find Mew in Pokémon GSC behind a rock in Mt Silver... I spent a good fortnight looking for that non-existent b*stard
one Mario rumor I heard back when Odyssey was just released was about unused costumes in Odyssey. I can't remember what kind of costumes were rumored or whether any of them were real, but if any were real, hackers probably found them, so there are probably videos out there talking about these costumes. another hilarious Mario-related rumor was that a Cappy hat was available in A Hat In Time. of course the original game didn't have it, but the modding community for AHIT jumped on it and added a Cappy mod. so that one turned out to be somewhat true.
@@santiinx737 In the Courtyard, I think, there was a sign. A low resolution sign. Some people read it as L is Real 2401. That's why most people thought that Luigi was unlockable in Mario 64. He wasn't, but it was close, since he would have been part of the planned, but failed, multi player mode. Only a few months before release, Luigi was cut. But his model and such were leaked 24 years and 1 month after release, probably as an Easter Egg from the leakers
Lyra Heartfold the working title for Super Mario 64 was Ultra 64 Mario Bros, so yes L was real for a time. The multiplayer modes the team conceived of had to be scrapped in the end because of the system only including one controller out of the box and tech limits
I'm not sure how people were convinced by the fake "Waluigi in SM64DS" scan, given that the lighting on the Waluigi model looks way off; I wanna say that the creator of the hoax just photoshopped a fake model into preexisting screenshots, but given how they apparently hacked in models for a fake Waluigi cap and Waluigi door too, I'm under the impression that they just botched the Waluigi model that badly.
That Mario Paint DS thing sounds like WarioWare DIY, it's heavilly inspired by Mario Paint and uses a lot of the same assets, you can create animated games, draw comics, and make music. The game also had Wii connectivity.
NoJohns Gamer This is a story I rarely tell anyone: I distinctively remember going into a store as a child and seeing a game titled Super Yoshi Galaxy in there. I wanted to have it so bad, but I didn‘t have a Wii at the time and I never found it again. I probably hallucinated/dreamed/misremembered that shit, but the memory still feels oddly real.
I'm not sure if it was a dream or not but I remember playing as Luigi in Mario 64. I specifically remember being weirded out because my cousin said there was no 2 player in this game and I remember freaking out and telling him that I was playing as "Green Mario" and he was pissed off because he thought I ruined his save file. I still wonder to this day, what happened there.
I remember YEARS ago I wrote a weird satirical article about how you unlocked the Triforce in Mario 64 an put it on one of those free make your own web sight things, good times...
Luigi was recently found in old Mario 64 source code, and was able to be modded back into the game, he has a full model, unused sounds, etc. He was found exactly 24 years and 1 month after Mario 64 was released, 2401...
Here's some additional info about the "Daisy Costume" Hoax (14:54). While the Daisy costume shown there is an inauthentic fan-made sprite, an actual Daisy costume was later added to the game in January of 2016, making this one of the only rumors in this video that fully ended up becoming true.
Turns out 24 years and 01 months later of sm64 released, L was real. Im still shocked this happend even though it happened a few months ago. I bet one kid who belived it back in the day, the started shitting themself when they discovered L was real
Man, we need a remake of Super Mario 64 DS. That game added so much to the game it would be awesome to see it with updated graphics and smoother controls.
The mystery is finally solved L is realFinally solved Luigi was originally planned to be in super Mario 64 beta you can actually unlock him through a painting
Mario fan base : Nintendo, where is Luigi? Nintendo: there is no Luigi. M fb: but we want Luigi. N: there. is. no. Luigi. M fb: GIVE US LUIGI N: OK DAMMIT! WE'LL PUT HIM IN THE REMAKE OF THE GAME! ARE YOU ACCOMPLISHED? M fb: thanks Nintendo, but where is Waluigi? *Nintendo left the chat*

If Michael Mann named his son Hugh, he’d be Hugh Mann. Maybe Yoshi is a similar case. That being said, I can’t off the top of my head think of an example of a named Yoshi, so maybe Yoshi culture doesn’t have the same concept of names as human culture.
