    The iconic Super Mario 64 iceberg holds many secrets. However, some of Super Mario 64's strangest mysteries may not even be found on the iceberg. Back in 2018 I accidentally stumbled upon something that was later labeled as the textureless Mario anomaly. However, I never really told my story about how it came to be nor did I tell majority of my fanbase what had happened. Is it possible to beat Super Mario 64 if every object is a coin, my first challenge video, spawned something very creepy... And this is my untold story.

    The world is getting loaded multiple times but without a loading cover, triggering a line over the limit crashes the game... The picture displays the appearance of air bubbles in 3 variations, the green in the background is the stock background used as a greenscreen to work textures in properly and the black texture on it is a 2nd screen effect trigger in the first loading frame

      Pretty sure that's not it at all, It's most likely the coins sprite behavior taking up too much RAM. (EX: Having to change all frames individually of each on-screen coin at once)
      Could be wrong tho, but I've had this issue myself and the cause seems to be the coin thing I said above (as removing enough coins fixed it)

    I think the reason why the game freaks out in that specific level is due to the coins being an animated object. There are too much animations to render at the same time since you changed all the objects to coins so the game starts to go nuts because it's not supposed to render this many animations (even if the number of objects in the level is the same), and considering how complex and kinda small to render Tiny Huge Island is as a level it's not surprising that it only happens there and not in other levels too
    The reason why i think it's because of animations is because this issue reminded me of Halo: Basically if you go in Forge (mainly on Halo: Reach) and start to heavily overload the map with stuff and in particular animated objects and particles, the game engine starts to unload lots of things, including animations, rendered weapons, skybox, water and sometimes even the hud, in order to prevent the ram to fill up and cause a game crash

    At this point Im starting to feel bad for mario.
    Imagine waking up in a warp pipe, Lakitu above you. Actually, you cant see anything- you're eyes are gone, same with your mustache, sideburns and mouth. As you are possesed and doing things you can't control (referencing the player controlling Mario), you can't hear you're brother, Luigi. He's been gone for 24 years. You cannot scream. You cannot run.
    Then the player decides to turn every object into a coin for some reason. As SM64 overflows in memory usage, you spend your final moments in Tiny Huge Island, where the world around you crumbles. The only way you can see youre current physical (and mental) health (the health bar) disappears, when you eventually die.
    You spawn above the clouds, in the final moments of life, when you see Luigi. Before you can say anything, its over.
    Then, the player decides to respawn you, and keep torturing you until you seek of a true vengance.
    Using all of your energy to be able to control yourself, you start runningto the castle. You open the doors to the basement where the opening to Dire, Dire Docks is.
    As your rival, Wario, appears before you, you cry "END ME!!" Wario eats you.
    Finally, it's all over.

      And then the player respawns you again. You are now on your last life. The player chooses to go back to tiny huge island. You then silently panic. It turns out the world is fine this time, but you get suspicious. The world suddenly flashes back to darkness a green and blue image quickly flashes. And the software the player used to control you crashed. You are free from the player, but not free from the void. You then have no other choice but to collect the few coins left. You finally get to enjoy the wonder of having a coin again. But then the entire world gets deleted. You then fall forever.

    Hey Swanky, I love each one of your videos. Each new one continues to amaze me. From the in-depth investigation you do, to trying to replicate each observation and event, your work is truly outstanding. If I may I'd like to ask for your help. I was playing dark souls remastered on an xbox one console, everything seemed normal and fine until one particular boss. The 2nd boss is a pair of gargoyles, and until today (8/14/2020) I only knew that one npc was able to assist you in the boss fight. I read online that there is a 2nd npc that can be summoned to fight this boss. If you rescue him in the same building where the boss is, leave and come back, he should be available to assist you. I did just that, rescued this npc left the area and then came back. I found an odd location for an npc to be summoned, this npc's name is Solaire of Astora. His summon sign was located next to an elevator, I asked myself "why is this here?" and proceeded to summon him. I initially thought this was another online player until I saw its behavior. The way this thing acted confirmed that it was not a player, but an npc. It moved only when I moved, its attacks were robotic, and often moonwalked or slid across the floor. These characteristics are impossible to be found in a player. Before entering the boss room I found another summon sign, I took a look at it and to my surprise it was Solaire. I summoned him and I was then running around with 2 identical Solaire npcs. What made this new solaire different was that it was in the correct location as opposed to the other one. I should also mention, the npc I saved (his name is "Lautrec") was nowhere to be found. I was stuck with 2 Solaires.
    Things got even weirder in the boss room. The three of us easily overpowered the boss and we won in less than 20 min. Normally when a boss is killed in dark souls all summons have a "fading away" effect. The real Solaire was fading away, but the other Solaire had no animation. Its as if his model was deleted mid game, he was just gone. I observed only 1 npc fading away. Granted this fading animation is fast, both npcs should have faded away at the exact same time.
    Unfortunately all I have to offer as proof is a picture. This is very sad for me because any random person online can have their buddy cosplay as an npc next to the actual npc. As of right now I am trying to replicate this glitch and catch it on video to provide more concrete evidence in the future. If it is ok, I'd like to reach out to you Swanky and ask you for help. This is the first time I've ever seen a glitch in a dark souls game, and I don't think it has ever been recorded or even mentioned online. Please help me with this very frustrating event. I'd like to investigate it further, but this is not my specialty. I do not know where else to begin besides trying to replicate it. You, Swanky, are the only person I know that can truly help me get to the bottom of this.

    seems like the gpu ran out of memory, my guess is that it has something to do with the fact that coins have an animation, so each coin would have to have its state in the animation stored on the gpu, it's also possible that they use even more memory, or that the rom hack lead to the view distance culling not working for the coins.

    I have a theory that might somewhat explain why the anomaly occurred, maybe the issue isn’t the amount of objects in the stage, but the amount of objects being loaded at once that causes the issue. My guess is that enemies (and other objects) in SM64 only load once you get within a certain distance of where they’re supposed to be while coins (unless collected) are permanently loaded, causing the memory to overflow.

    The anomalous square graphic was caused from simple hex code overflow when the code for cueing a splash animation is miscounted and overflows putting values into another screen element like the health bar. Apparently in script the line of code for the secondary status animations on the mario model are close to the health bar line of code. Somehow the coin codes messes up a counter somewhere and probably dumps a bunch of 0s in the wrong places

    Plot twist: The Game render engine needs to render the eyes "Picture" Including the M on the hat those are like mini pixel art of something the reason it got corrupted is that let's say you color a Block or a Part and it's a single color widespread into it with no picture however the land the grass and stuff IS in fact a TEXTURE and when the texture isn't loading it just sadly Failed to do so the Grass contains Pixel of a texture the pipes are different they are a colored pipes with circle parts or cylindrical parts that just uses color the reason the land is black and mario's face and hat is gone is that the Texture failed to load when handling many parts or more the audio stopped playing probably the Console/Emulator tried it's best trying to play the corrupted file and the Graphics isn't much focused at all probably the code for texture loading isn't working and is corrupted including the audio that it tried to play

    I also want to share a story that happened to me years ago. However, it is about SMW. When I was like 12 or so, I found that program called Lunar Magic or so, which is an awesome level editor for SMW. I played around with it a lot over the time and had much fun doing so. At random, I found this cool video here on TH-cam, where someone shows a level that plays itself and made sounds in combination with a background song (Pretty famous video, you've probably seen it)
    I wanted to try making a level like this as well so I started Lunar Magic, opened a clean ROM in it and just added a block to get an Idea of how to start this level. After placing that block, I saved the ROM and thought about a name. I decided for "Autolevel" and threw the ROM into zsnes. When loading up the level I edited, I noticed something.
    The level was completely randomized. It had random blocks placed everywhere etc, but it was still playable. This was the case with the second level, which I didn't modify. Also, when going back into a level, the level completely randomized again.
    It wasn't creepy or something like that but I was extremely curious why this happened, I couldn't find something on the internet. It just blew my 12 year old mind

    Creepy real story here:
    When I was like 10 or so, while playing on the console, I was in the castle hall. At one point, music became a jumbled mess, Mario rotated sideways and clipped halfway through the ground and his eyes became X's like he was dead, then the game crashed or I switched down the console, I don't remember well, since we talk about a thing that happened probably in 2004-2007. That scared me a lot, I didn't touch that game for at least a year.
    It was probably caused by a RAM corruption or a rusty cartridge pin, but that day I really was thinking that the cartridge could be possessed or something.

  • @Smaxx
    @Smaxx 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Just watched this now - very interesting. This sounds a lot like there's some uninitialized variable somewhere and based on what's in there before (by random or doing something specific right before) the glitches happen or not. Issues like this are very hard to debug and track down, which would perfectly fit your descriptions. Apparently using the modified ROM over the original triggers this issue in some way, shape, or form.
    I have no experience with hacking the ROM, but what I would be interested in: Does the ROM image change if you open it for editing and save it without actually touching anything? If there's just a few bytes differences, they might be at fault some way or another.

    My theory here (dunno if it is correct or not):
    When that happen the game probably ran out of memory like he said, and the textures and stuff didn't load. It was like the panenkoek video about corruptions when many objects were loaded.
    After some time, the memory of the emulator was raised for some reason and forgot to turn back down to default n64 memory.
    Although that doesn't solve why there was more objects if they just changed the object type to a coin.
    Another theory i have is that the coin animation is doing something weird to the game because of how many there was in there.
    Either way, im not an expert or something, just a theory i had.

    Hey, I remember this.

There's a lot of different variables to use to try and replicate the glitch.
