We've covered Peach's Castle in Super Mario 64 from top to bottom - but there is one thing we have yet to talk about. On the third floor of the castle is a mysterious painting of a night sky... But unlike any other painting in the castle, it can't be jumped into. Was this a scrapped stage? A warp to the top floor? Let's take a closer look at this Nintendo 64 mystery!

So as a follow up from this video, I've heard rumors that Super Mario 64 was supposed to have a lot more levels in it but it was cut back due to how much could be fit on a cartridge. This might also explain why this painting exists.
do you think....
_someday..._
they may release all those levels in some sort of remake or additional content to another game? i mean it's been so long and they would have had the chance so many times but i am super interested in those concepts!
But then why wouldn't they add it ti the DS remake?
oh... yes... :'0
SwankyBox bait?
Steampunk Goat chances are that they used the ideas in another Mario game already.
Honestly I think the painting is supposed to be an indicator of where the stairs are leading. The wall with Tick Tock Clock is painted the same way, so it’s likely a reference to how the room is painted.
My exact thoughts.
I agree but... to Swankybox.... that's boring.
Super Mario 64 originally will have 30 levels, but there's only 15 in the final version, this paint is probably a entrance to one of this 15 other rejected levels in the game.
I think they said they were scrapped because the N64 cartridge was just too small and couldn't hold those other levels.
I wish they would have made a second cartridge maybe titled Super Mario 64 2 or Super Mario 64 Expansion Pack and as long as you gotten all 120 stars from original game you could maybe after speaking to Yoshi he could not only give you those 100 lives total bonus but also a code to start up the second game with 100 lives and the 120 stars from main game and then you could play the bonus 15 levels and earn 105 more stars (6 stars plus bonus 100 coin star per level) and maybe even add in more secret stars or something and thus end the second cartridge game with 240 total stars.
Jake Suhr I mean the best thing we can do now is play Mario 64 Roms on the computer, and or Phone, people literally remake the whole game with dope levels man like "Supe Mario Star Road" one of my favorites there's a lot of great Rom hacks and they are easy to download and play and there's tutorials on TH-cam check them out if you want!
correction; the original super Mario 64 beta was originally suppose to have 150 stages, fyi.
Super Mario 64's debug mode showcases 38 levels. Level 1, 2, 3, 32, 35, 37, and 38 are all level entries, but have no actual level in them. Which means 7 levels are completely empty. Which reduces down to 31 levels. But then Index Level 25 is called "Ending", which warps the player to the ending picture. So that isn't considered a "level". Which means there are a total of 30 levels in the final game (not including the ending warp, which would make a total of 31). Eight levels are removed because the files for the level were taken out. Interestingly, Level 32 (I think) has a system close to Dire, Dire Docks where the drums would slowly appear when Mario was on land. I also believe that removed level used the unused instrument set (NLST 12), which contains 5 Acoustic Guitars, 1 Rhodes Piano, 4 Recorders, 1 Crash Cymbal, 1 Snare Drum, 2 Triangles, and 1 Sine Wave. Anyways, yeah. The game has a total of 30 levels, 15 of which are normal levels, and the other 15 are "special levels".
You know, a _long_ time ago, I once had a dream about a weird-looking course in Super Mario 64...from what I remember, it was like a mountain, with a dark sky. And the ground looked like crushed Oreo cookies, to me. I guess, if I _really_ had to describe it, it was like Tall, Tall Mountain with the skybox of Bowser in the Sky.
I had Also a dream about a Mario castle something like the castles in rainbow course but there were stairs and mushrooms all over it was so "real" that I was searching all over the game for a parrellel universe like that 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
I have also dreamed about mario 64 worlds, i remember there being a castle with blue ceileng instead of red, and there was a river that went inside a mountain at its side, i remember that you could go on that river and into a pipe to get in a bonus-like world that had tall pillars and fog everywhere, i also remember going into a similar zone (river, mountain, pipe) but on a lava world, almost like a cave i think, and instead of a river there was lava and you had to use a koopa shell... Weird.
Finally, i remember a white course with platforms that had blue outlines, kinda' like a factory on the sky, and there was bullet bills and banzai bills, i've actually been thinking one day i might make a mario 64 ROM hack that includes those worlds, who knows...
I once dreamed about these weird penguins I saw as promotional material for super Mario 64 on a cereal box. (they terrified me...)
A long time ago, I recall having dreamed about being sucked into the portal that leads to Hazy Maze Cave
I'm a Minus World Amigo!! I'm the guy he referred to when he said that!!

I want a remastered Nintendo Switch version with all of the 32 original levels including the ones that were cut 🙂 thanks for this video
Yea but we dont know in what states other levels are. Maybe they are scraped do early on they are unfinished mess or maybe the ideas for the levels are used in other games.
They do something like that with Wind Waker, it originally had more dungens but because of time they scraped it and add the triforce shards hunz quest, but the unused dungens are reworked and used in other Zelda games
Super Mario 64 Ds is great! I wish that was the one being remastered.. although I actually really enjoy the original 64 artstyle and I really don't want to see that being changed
I think they said they were scrapped because the N64 cartridge was just too small and couldn't hold those other levels.
If that was the problem then they could have added them when they made the N64 DD
Mary Universe the n64 dd was a failure.
I wish they added night levels in this game…
What about Big Boo's Haunt?
,first bowser level
@@Boccaccio1811 I Think they mean one with stars lol
@@Boccaccio1811 You spent so much time indoors I guess. Fungi forest at night from dk looks nice.
Dude, it’s not just you. When I first started playing this game as a very young child I had a lot of difficulty with it. It took me a long time to get past that star door, and before I did I picked up from somewhere that that painting was an entrance to a world and spent a long time trying to “unlock” it.
Spencer Fowler That's sad
:(
I think they used this painting as a way if foreshadowing what's in the room ahead. Afterall, this room has all it's walls dedicated to this cloud motive. Clearly this is not as beautiful as your idea, but it makes sense to me. And yeah I agree with you, those stary skies in the old Mario games were soooooo cool back then!
Same thought
I like your videos but this had a clickbait title. I expected an explanation of how the devs made a level but couldn't fit it in the game or ran out of time and this was the left over. Not just speculation with no evidence to back it up.
DoomFinger511 it's not clickbait
C.D. Riley No, ot is absolutely clickbait
Lorcan Engledow It's not. Next time Please read the title carefully.
"Super Mario 64’s LOST LEVEL?" implies that in the video there would be information on a level that was cut from the game. There isn't. This is pure speculation with a title to draw views without being related to the video. Sound familiar?
I don't think it's clickbait
I always found the castle super-spooky.
I'm The Same About The N64 Version but The DS Version is Less Creepy.
I think they painting is there to tell the player that the stairs lead to the upper floor of the castle, since that room's wall has the exact same texture as the one on the painting
*level designer* : Ill just stick a wall texture on this painting for some variety
*Swanky* : *LoSt LeVeL?*
I always thought it was a kind of "sneak peek" into the top floor and it made sense because you collect a star to have a nod to it.
It reminds me of Super Mario World where there are those star worlds and one of them involves a little, purple yoshi that you have to raise. Great vid!
Funny enough I also imagined or fantasized about a level involving this painting. It involved Mario going into a sort of dream world. It's also worth mentioning that the vibe that comes from this painting reminds me of Tall Tower from Yoshi Story.
Super Mario 64 strange personalized oddities: Unknown Course, "The Starry-Night Skies"
Known Missions:
1: Stork in the Starry Night
2: Abandoned Ship in the Sea of Clouds
3: The Wishing Star Well
4: Red Coins Among the Stars
5: The Eternal Night Star
6: ???
Special notes: Extremely rare, even in the most personalized copies. Contains almost exclusively unique assets not used anywhere else.
Since when did the personalisation creepypasta turn into a glorified SCP situation
As a kid running around that castle during the day was a blast, and at night was nightmare inducing. Funny how time of day can effect the way music makes you feel.
I has this dream for like 22 times seeing that there were more lost levels including that one i saw a door right beside the whomps fortress painting with no star cost.. inside the painting there were 3 paintings. Also The room was a hallway and the walls were themed as the one in the jolly Rogers bay lobby. I saw a painting the same as tiny huge island. But there were 3 goombas and 1 koopa the level was called the ultimate island. It was a mix of bomb omb battlefield and tiny huge island. The starting spot had 2 giga goombas that drop 2 blue coins and there where more arround the level.. there was a big hill and a little hill and a bunch of mushrooms from tall tall mountain. It also had the 6th star called koopa the quicks 8 red coins and you would beat him in the final match and get red coins during the race... the second painting was the same as cool cool mountain. The level was called snowy impact.. the level was the same as snowmans land... there were so many snowmans and a bunch of snowy mountains. The 3rd one was another slide but it was a tube slide so you can't fall off. It was really cool
Course 16: the ultimate island.. and course 17: snowy impact
Any other dreams of Mario 64 locations? The painting of Ultimate Island you talked about sounds incredibly descriptive and a very cool experience!
To be honest, when I was younger I never spent one second looking for Luigi in this game. It never crossed my mind that there should be a reason for Luigi possibly hiding in this game. But this painting. Oh yeah, that was a big mystery in the game for me!
I heard that 64 DS was supposed to have a few more levels (I think 4 more than it does) but they got scrapped due to time constraints. Not sure hoe true it is but it's entirely possible that these paintings were meant to be levels but they didn't get finished before the release date.
I never thought about it before, but now that you brought this video out, I'm thinking it could have been a special level. It would be great if something like this was put into either Star Road or Last Impact. I guess Star Road sort of has it as the final area of the hub world.
Had to dislike for the clickbait title, why not "Super Mario 64's USELESS PAINTING?"
I know you're joking, but not all clickbait is bad. It's like referring to a game as "indie" as a complaint.
@ Coding Ethan: Do you know the definition of click bait, you clearly don't, because this video his not click bait, because he talk about what was mention in the title. They are several type of clickbait, a real clickbait, that his against the TH-cam policy, and user agreement, his Naming your video Super Mario bros.3, and then the video as nothing to do with Super Mario bros.3, it his just a guy Belly dancing(The guy that did that his now banned from youtube), this his also the fake click bait, which his actually talk about the game mention in the title, and the thing he mention in the subtitle was not clear for all people, for me I did understand before clicking it, that the sub title Lost level?, the ? mark stand for Super Mario 64: Lost level maybe. The other type of click bait, his also not a full click bait, You show the title of the game your playing and you actually playing that game in the video. but the sub title his what your talking about while recording what your playing, and what you talk about as nothing to do with the current game your playing.
SuperNickid He speculated about a potential level a painting could have been used for. Not an actual lost level. That's click bait.
You made me laugh so hard because I thought the same shit XD I thought he was going to tell us an awesome secret, but no, just telling us about his daydreaming for the last 20 years, n still has no answer.
People clickbait all the time and it s lame
Maybe that’s where Luigi is hidden, from the “L is Real” mystery? 🤔

Dude, the l is real thing is confirmed to be just a joke from the developers.
Bryan Hampton 1:how can *ANYONE* read something that's that blurry? 2:it was proven to be a joke by nintendo back in the 90's
ehem, *this comment is a joke*
Am I the only one who finds swanky box theories and videos a lot more charming than the game theorist.
Guy that doesn't know what he is doing In life Nope, Swanky does a much better job
maserbantez yeah that's what I said.
I feel like if the painting had a level, it'd be a dream related level called The Dreamscape.
hey swanky the bowser levels are actually courrses 16-18 and some secret levels such as peaches secret slide are also around 19-21 and there are unused levels witch are courses 22-26 maybe that levels is one of them ;)
I'm guessing it was originally for the Mysterious Mountainside, from Tall, Tall Mountain. That slide always felt out of place in that level
The Starry Night Skies painting reminded me of the bonus sky levels in NES SMB 3. Although the blue in the painting is greener, and has no white. When I heard that there was a level inside the Starry Night Skies painting, I researched and found an image of it, or a WII version of the level, under Google IMAGES. Then I saw the painting of the glaring Sun. I thought about Winged Mario Over The Rainbow, but not Rainbow Ride, because I would like it more if such a level had clouds to walk on instead of structures like in Rainbow Ride. I remember the background in the hole to Rainbow Ride and to Winged Mario Over The Rainbow, but I assumed that it was a background image of a bright scattered cloudy sky, and not the same as the painting. Because the painting of the glaring Sun has almost nothing else. But by the way- I realized from your share that the background of the holes in the room with Tick Tock Clock is the same as the paintings of the sky on floor below, that there is in fact, technically, a level beyond that background. Rainbow Ride. Just in a different place. I would be less satisfied if the only level beyond that background were Winged Mario Over The Rainbow, with only one star to recover. And since the producer(s) of the game thought that the game would start getting too hard if one or two more levels were included, I wish that they remembered the fact that even so, Peach can be rescued, when 50 Stars still haven't been recovered. And that not all of the stars have to be recovered before Peach can be rescued. And just like how Yoshi says "This is the end of the game, but not the end of the fun. We want you to keep on playing.", there would still be fun levels left after rescuing Peach. And although I like all of the levels, I would have rather that the producer(s) replace the second snow level with the Starry Night Skies level. Since there was another snow level. By the way- the Starry Night Skies level had brick islands and towers. The sky wasn't blue or greenish blue, but rather the same as that where Mario fights Bowser for the last time. And no cloud islands. And the only way to reach across the level is with the Winged cap. It looks more like a Bowser level. In the sky.

The Starry-Night Skies MIPS Hole Wiki Fandom
2:07 You were expecting a painting but it was ME, Galeem!
It is rumored that this course (Starry Night Skies) exists in some of the personalized copies of SM64. It has five known stars with the fifth one being not yet solved. The fifth star could be unfinished, but it could also just be too hard to figure out for the few player who had access to this level.
What also confuses me is on the roof by the wing cap theres a area witha more cement like texture and in SM64DS its got a fence around it. This seems unnecessary so I wonder if originally you could blast up ti the roof and have the castle tower to explore. I think that would be awesome
Maybe it could have taken you to a dream land. You know, happy feelings you get in your sleep like maybe sparkling stars, the land consisting of dream clouds, a wing cap challenge, and maybe even a Boo or Kamek mini-boss that wants to turn dreams into nightmares.
Sounds a lot lime kirby
I think the painting is just an indicator for: this way to the tick tock clock room.
Or maybe it was just meant to be a marker. "Look kiddos, the stairs to the sky-looking room are here"
I recently revisited Super Mario 64 in a nostalgia rush so these videos are nice to see!! Tysm for making them!
Nope to all of these:
Apparently the stars in the painting are in the same arrangement as Song Of Storms in LoZ:)
You have restored my faith in this comments thread! Can’t believe no one realises it’s a LOZ reference!
Imagine it's actually another world and it just has to be unlocked somehow
yeah I remembering that painting as a kid as well but I never thought it might be another level or a warp but I do like the idea of that
I wondered about this painting as well.
that secret mario kart 64 area you can get to with cheats
kill me.
I remember be told years ago that the Sky paining leads to a 2D world where the player could play SMB1.
For me, it would be where:
Yellow Switch was going to be (to enable box with shells, not with stars, coins)
Vanish Cap Switch
Daylight changer
If you done 1 star, like in DDD room, you will be able to enter upper.
I used to invent my own levels in Super Mario 64, so this was a fun nostalgia trip. I used to think this painting would lead to a stage called Cosmic Towers, which looked pretty similar to your mockup, but with a series of fantastical towers connecting each area.
I also thought of a level called Gloomy Woods, which was actually kinda realised with Goomboss Battle in Super Mario 64 DS. So that was fun!
That nighttime painting takes you to purple upstairs
"I don't know, but one thing I know for sure is I've been wondering..." Such a nice way to twist it.
yes!! swankyboi!!!
you always manage to upload videos that are interesting as HECK!
It can also be seen as a secret map of getting stars (from as you are standing in front enterance room) from the floor below and the two upper floors.
The pictures that you can't jump into really have so much mystery to it, Especially the stars one.
Now who remembers the window/picture of the balconyy next to mario's picture, The questions need to be answered
Just to be clear, you're talking about the ds version right?
@@heftyrumble Yea
I've learned that Super Mario 3 was suppose to have the sky change from regular sky to dark blue with stars the higher up you flew in the coin heaven. I think Super Mario 64 Rainbow Ride may have had this same plan and that's why the paintings look like stars. Changing the sky color the higher you fly would have been scrapped again.
I have never thought about this painting again after trying to jump in to it and failing to do so the first time I played this game. Now that I look at it in your video... it reminds me of the art style of Paper Mario N64
Would love to see a video on the untracha le secret level in Super Mario World. There are 3 islands you can't reach as well as the waterfall at the top of the map that looks like a way to a secret level.
The stars one I always thought should be a space level
Part of me wonders if they originally planned to have another Bowser level between the two parts of the tower. The painting wouldn’t be appropriate for that level (you fall into Bowser levels in SM64), but I have wondered.
Do you ever hear a song at the end of a video so catchy you stick around just to listen to it
I always wondered what the sun and cloud painting represented but I think it's quite clear what level it represents. The same painting is found on the ceiling of the castle foyer and looking up at it takes you to the Tower of The Wing Cap/? Switch level of the game. This painting makes me think that at some point maybe you would jump into a portrait to get to the Wing Cap Tower. The other painting being the night time hills seems to hint the outer tower of the castle I don't think it was intended to lead anywhere unless the outer tower room where the clock is would have been accessed through the painting. Another thing is in the 3-DS version there is a new painting that wasn't present in the original. It's basically a painting depicting nothing but water. An underwater abyss with bubbles. It replaces the sunken ship painting and the original and takes you to the third world upon jumping into it. I will admit some of the ways you enter levels are crazy. In addition to paintings there are those that are accessed through different means. Holes in walls, holes in floors, a metalic wall, a plaster wall (which is actually an invisible snowman painting reflected visibly in the mirror), a stained glass window, a clock face, a trapdoor, a drain, a cage containing a model house, a pool of liquid silver, and the likes. I think these areas are all supposed to be galaxies of some kind as one of the stages does appear as a galaxy in a later game and the Koopa Troop is using the power of the stars to generate portals to different worlds across space.
I'm pretty sure super mario 63 put in a super mario galaxy themed level based off of this painting
0:37 An A press is an A press. You can't say it's only a half.
I think it's like a sign post telling you where you're headed to, since that's the wallpaper in the room above the stairs.
I honestly thought this was going to be a video about the open window from the original box n64 box art thing, please do a video on that
"This is the only painting u can't jump into." The paintings I the upper veiwing gallary: "are we a joke to you?"
You know it was this painting and another one that I think was directly in front of the door when you went to the second floor, that look kind of like space, I always had buddies who kept telling me yeah you just haven't unlocked the space level yet... Man I spent a lot of time trying to figure that out
I feel like this was a painting for winged mario over the rainbow with a night sky and with dire dire docks music
I never put much thought into the painting as a kid but it does sound like the exact sort of thing I would over think as a kid.
Maybe It's the ending,you are missed in the air then go to meet princess peach
How do you get those scenes of the castle like that?
My childhood man, this game is literally the first game I ever played.
Is there a link to the play through race??
What's the music playing at 1:30? It sounds really familiar but I can't figure it out.
Nevermind, it's from Super Mario Sunshine.
I SWEAR I could jump into that painting as a kid, it feels so bizarre
The name of the level was probably starry night skies
That was always my favorite painting in the game! I was so sad that I couldn't figure out how to get into it lol
the painting is a OoT reference referring to the notes of one of the songs, never intended as a level, more of an easter egg
The painting is a reference to ocarina of time. The brighter stars are the notes of the song of storms
Omg! I wandered about that paint also.
I think that painting represents rainbow ride or tick tock clock, the same way the Wing Cap level is represented by a painting
Nathan Bandy: why DID they not created new paintings for the third floor?
Me:FOR THIS REASON.
Mario 64 The Lost Levels.
when we getting mario 64 with only level changes on hard mode
I remember how someone at my schoolyard told me there is a level in peaches painting. Golly how many ways I tried to get in this level
Thank you Dio, very cool!
SwankyBok: The painting of the night sky, his acctually the painting you would see if you go in Bowser Trap door, for Bowser in the Dark World, if they would allow the player to see it inside the trap door, like you said they normally recycle image that already shown, even if the player never saw it.
Ok. Almost halfway through the vid and I thought I got click baited. But then you turn around with some interesting speculation. Nicely done!
It's probably just forshadowing to the room upstairs. Could have been a level painting idea but I don't think that's why it was left in the game.
rom hack ideas
Please someone correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't that painting shown in sm64's beta?
I dont know you but i would LOVED the idea of a night based course. I am starting imagining how this course may have looked like.
Wow, you really can make a substance free video on any pointless subject you want and people will watch.
That painting depicts the Song of Storms, well before the release of Ocarina of Time
Ha, everyone surely jumped at this painting on their first playthrough. I'm trying to remember if I thought much about it at the time.
maybe there was a day and night cycle and during night you can jump into the lost level and when the night is over mario jumps out of the painting.
Hey uhh what's the music at 1:31 I can't find it anywhere
I thought the painting was a heads-up about the appearance of the room above.
I have a memory with this painting ... but it is a distorted memory. I was able to enter and play the level of this picture, of course I can't remember anymore. My brain created something because I played Super Mario 64 as a child ... and I remember that I had some references to Super Mario World and colored blocks. hahaha As a child I dreamed of it, but it was so real that I doubted whether it was a dream or not XD I prefer to believe that I had a special cartridge lost. XD
Super Mario 64 The Lost Levels... Oh god no...
Super Mario Bros The Lost Levels was hard enough XD
LLLOOOLLL
This castle actually is canonically a museum. Peach owns 2 castles, only 1 has furniture, and the one in '64 has paintings.
That painting kinda looks like the Outer Wall area and Title Screen of Cave Story.
i have a theory, one of Super Mario 64's beta trailers had a room that never did it to the game, so maybe this painting was the entrance, or something like that.
How about the 2 Peach paintings surrounding the door to the final Bowser fight? Those are inaccessible too.
0:43 Swanky's Mario is T-Posing.
Your the best dude I watched u at the beginning and it's got better and better
