    Super Mario 64's story is something that is pretty much engraved in us. You jump out of the pipe, race to the castle, ignore Bowser, and launch into Bob-omb Battlefield as you hunt down the first star from King Bob-omb. But what if that didn't work? What if Mario couldn't get into Bob omb Battlefield? How would the entire story change if this was the case? Well, it gets a bit complex, but join me for another dose of overthinking video games as we remix the timeline from this Nintendo 64 classic!

    If you /really/ wanna overthink things story-wise:
    While this might be a bit of a headcanon, I would argue that the paintings are portals to actual place in the Mushroom Kingdom. Essentially, their purpose is to let Peach access places in her kingdom.
    Hypothetically, if Mario were unable to access the portal paintings, I would argue what he'd eventually do is return home and book a flight or something-maybe call up Luigi while he's on it. He would then go on a more traditional journey around the Mushroom Kingdom looking for at least one star. Maybe just head on over to Bowser's castle and wreck stuff there.

    What if Bob-omb Battlefield was a 1-star door while Princess Peach's Secret Slide had no stars at all?
    I think that would make more sense from a story perspective. For all Bowser knew, it was just an empty room, so why would it require a star to be opened? Meanwhile, we have the Bob-omb room, which does have a painting world that Mario could go into...yet it requires no stars to open. If Mario got just one of those stars, he'd be able to access Whomp's Fortress and take the stars there. And so on.

      Sure, but that's ignoring the fact that no one can be kidnapped as much as Peach is by the same dude without them knowing the layout of their home. Bowser would have locked both doors... Besides, there's the fan theory that the "kidnappings" are, in fact, clandestine romantic escapes. In which case, Bowser making sure Mario can win makes total sense, as he only needs Peach for like 45 minutes a kidnapping.

    Those doors are made from wood.

And bam, problem solved. Plenty of levels to access now.

    In line with going into absurd detail, I would imagine a better in-universe explanation for not opening the door of the moat: the pressure of the water combined with the fact it's a somewhat rusted heavy metal door.
    Just think of it like how you can't easily open a car door underwater with the windows up due to the pressure against the car. Opening the windows and letting water in until the pressure is equal is how you can open the door

      ​@@robertharris6092 Supposedly you can leave the key in the inside keyhole, and no one can pick the lock? According to my dad who came from mainland Europe, it's common to see roving bands of gypsies trying to break into everyone's house there. I once saw a scene in a European movie where a guy stole someone's house key by slipping a piece of paper under the door, poking the key out so it would fall on the paper, and pulling the paper back with the key on it, so leaving your key in the inside keyhole must be a normal thing in Europe. I guess you might also want to lock your kids in, which makes sense in theory, but in practice I don't think any parents in North America ever thought "gee, I wish I could lock my kids in the house from the inside." Some people also say that inside-locking doors used to be common in North America, but we got rid of them because they were unsafe, there were incidents of people unable to escape burning buildings or something.

    It's not really possible from a realistic perspective for Mario to be able to open the door underwater, either. The pressure being exerted on the door by the water would be too great for him to be able to pull the door open, and even then it would flood the entire basement, making the rest of the adventure considerably more difficult as well.

    You can get a star as a Goomba in Bob omb battlefield, you can use the cork box glitch to get the 100 coin star, I did it, the reason it can't be done glitchless is because the Goomba constantly has the A button held and most stars in BoB are terminating meaning you have to be not holding the A button, cloning is terminating, but if you break the cork box at the same time as it despawns it will give you the coins and respawn, this is non-terminating meaning it is possible, I have tried it successfully, I know this wasn't the point of the video but I still feel it necessary to mention.
