== Glitches ==

Recently (22 days ago), someone discovered a glitch in Super Mario 64 that allows you to beat the game with 0 stars in under six minutes. For proof, go to http://tasvideos.org/1017M.html. You'll be able to see the video. So, will someone add this to the article? [[User:Quate|Quate]] 14:34, 29 December 2007 (EST)

:Since it's a glitch, I don't think this is worthy of a mention. {{User:Time Q/sig}} 20:22, 29 December 2007 (EST)

::But the 16 star glitch is mentioned in the article, so perhaps replace that with this? [[User:Quate|Quate]] 21:12, 29 December 2007 (EST)

:::Well, why not. Just go ahead ;) {{User:Time Q/sig}} 06:56, 30 December 2007 (EST)

So, how does this glitch work?
[[User:DarthMartian7|DarthMartian7]] 14:29, 10 May 2010 (EDT)

Yah,how do you backwards long jump? -Rosalina1234

Maybe you can make a section about it or search. Asaokaj


could you add this glitch to the gliches article in super mario sixty-four? [[User:The real yoshi]]

== Storyline... error? ==

''"Peach and two nearby Toads walk into the castle. Mario starts to do so himself, but then pauses and turns around to look at the sky."''
IMO Mario looks at the player, thanking him for help in his journey. Am I right? {{unsigned|Dzamper}}
:Mario previously shows a piece sign to the player after Peach kisses him. As I remember it, Mario looks at the Lakitu Brother who flies away after his broadcast is over. Perhaps somehow has to check the ending though. - {{User:Cobold/sig}} 12:13, 8 January 2008 (EST)

Since Lakitu never really mentions the player, he mentions the 'viewers' watching mario at home, I wouldn't say this game breaks the fourth wall until the very end. At the beginning, the player floats around the castle at a 3rd person perspective of Lakitu. Thusly, we can't be considered the viewers. our sight seems to just follow the exact sight of the camera throughout most of the game. Before the credits, Peach kisses him, and he looks at the camera and spins around and gives a piece sign, like he collected a star. In the very, very end, a cake is shown, the cake that Peach baked for Mario. He tells the audience, "Thank you so much for-a playing my game." That's the only moment the game breaks the fourth wall, and mentions the players existance. {{unsigned|Worldminus1}}

:Well actually, they're the Lakitu ''Brothers,'' so one could have recorded the intro while the other explained what was going on to Mario.  But I don't really think it matters, Lakitu was really just a convenient way to explain running the camera to little kids.  {{User:Twentytwofiftyseven/sig}} 09:45, 5 July 2008 (EDT)

== Mini-Game ==

The Mini-Game [[Face Lift]] in [[Mario Party 2]] should be mentioned, or what do you think?

{{User:The Legend of Zelda Freak/sig}}

Could mention it [[Mario mini|here]] instead.{{User:Knife/sig}} 12:49, 20 January 2008 (EST)

o.O this face got a name? Mentioned it there. Thanks for the information{{User:the Legend of Zelda Freak/sig}}

==Other Method==

When you fight Bowser, their is another way of beating him. If you throw him off the edge enough, he is defeated. It is harder in the sky, but I think it still works. I know this because I thought that was how you were supposed to beat him (well, me and my dad). {{User:Jaffffey/sig}}
:Seriously? I never knew that. I'll probably test it on my 64 later. (I used to think you had to throw King Bob-Omb off the edge to beat him too :P) {{User:Garlic Man/sig}}
:I tried and did it at least 10 times, he never died. Is it a joke ?

== Tezuka's wife ==

According to [http://www.miyamotoshrine.com/theman/interviews/0895.shtml this interview], a character in this game was based on Tezuka's wife.  The character seems normal when Mario is facing it, but then turns aggressive when Mario is turned away.  Does anyone know of an enemy like this in the game?  Don't forget it could be one of the bosses as well... {{User:Stumpers/sig}} 18:55, 28 February 2009 (EST)

:Boo? -- {{User|Son of Suns}}

Yes, it is Boo, it was mentioned in the Official Nintendo Magazine,- [[User:Zedxclon]]
:I forgot to mention that it said the character shrinks away when you face it... and now that I think about it, the Boos do do that.  I suppose we should mention that in both the game and the enemy's article. {{User:Stumpers/sig}} 00:55, 1 March 2009 (EST)

== More in depth in sm64 Sub levels. ==

Should the sub levels within levels (like the volcano in [[Lethal Lava Land]] be placed right after the overview or after the star missions? I think putting them right under the initial info would be better but i need some opinions. {{User:MC Hammer Bro./sig}}
Well,I'm no admin, but I think they should be under the star missions.

User: Kelton2!!!]] ([[User talk:Kelton2|talk]]) 17:18, 9 October 2012 (EDT)

== Trivia ==

I feel that this should be removed from the trivia section:

*The title screen of the game features the ability to grab [[Mario's face]] with the hand cursor and distort it in various bizarre ways.

Trivia in and of itself is usually of no interest to an article, though I can understand why they should stay on this particular Wiki. But this little tidbit offers nothing. I'm sure everyone who has played Super Mario 64 knows that you can play around with Mario's face. It's a given.

I mean, if there was an interesting citation as to ''why'' this minigame was implemented into the final game the trivia would be better for it. But there's not. We're stuck labeling normal gameplay "trivia". Does anyone else feel it should be removed? [[User:Redstar|Redstar]] 07:01, 21 March 2009 (EDT)

:That piece of "trivia" should actually be merged into the main article I feel...something along the lines of "before selecting a game file, players can play will Mario's face, etc. etc."  And I believe the point of the Mario face title screen is to give players some type of familiarity with the new N64 controller.  I believe it says this in the Super Mario 64 instruction manual.  I'll dig through my stuff and look for it. -- {{User|Son of Suns}}

::I feel the same way. Usually it would go under a "Gameplay" section, but seeing that there isn't one for this article I wouldn't recommend creating one unless we planned on restructuring the article itself. The main paragraph would probably do well for this, though the subject matter would cause a leap unless written into that section the right way.

::I might also have the instruction booklet, but I won't be home for at least a day and even then I have booklets for random games like Yoshi's Story and Super Mario All-Stars. Be ironic if I'd be lacking one for the most mainstream Mario game of our generation. [[User:Redstar|Redstar]] 10:31, 21 March 2009 (EDT)

The typo when Yoshi says, "Mario! '''It''' that really you???" was not fixed in the Virtual Console release. [[User:Bspald95|Bspald95]] ([[User talk:Bspald95|talk]]) 15:43, 26 August 2012 (EDT)

== Boss? ==

Are you sure about Chain Chomp being a boss? Sure, it gets you a star but you don't exactly battle it, and it doesn't disintegrate and leave the star like the other bosses. You just free it. So is it really necessary to put Chain Chomp in the bosses section? {{user:iceyoshi/sig|I don't do anything major without asking first...}}

No It's not a boss, But it can kill you easily if your careless. Actaly a lot of those "bosses" aren't even hard and shouldent even be in that section. {{User|Gamer2.1}}

==The Bro That Was to Be==
{{User|Platitudinous}} [http://www.thetanooki.com/2009/11/25/luigi-was-original-in-super-mario-64/ This article.

Everyone should know that the plaque behind the castle in the fountain says "L is real2401

run around the fountain 2,401 times." There are PLENTY of youtube videos on that! I have heard of many explainations, but the two that puzzle me the most are that you must run around Boo's Mansion 64 times, then backflip onto the roof of the small house. The other one says that once you have 120 stars, run around the fountain 120 times, then read the plaque. It will say something weird, then the Boo that has Boo's Mansion will turn into Luigi, and you have to battle Luigi and win to get him. Can someone test these for me? My brother broke my game so I can't test it. [[User:Roxas09202|Roxas09]]
:There have been about a million "explanations" on how to get Luigi in SM64 circulating on the net for years, some more creative than others. All of them are fake; Luigi is not in the original SM64, there is no way to find/unlock him, no matter what anyone may tell you. And the text on the fountain will only say "L is real 2401" if you want it to; it's so blurry, it's impossible to make out what it actually says.--[[User:Vellidragon|vellidragon]] 10:55, 9 January 2010 (EST)

Is there a way to read the text on the fountain?how? {{User:Mr bones/sig}}

No. {{User:Reversinator/sig}}

There's a way to read it, but you need to hook it up to something and enhance the picture i think.-Roxas09

The message doesn't prove anything.It was also found in Legend of Zelda:Ocarina of time and I don't think that Luigi is a playbale character in that game!{{User:Mr bones/sig}}

Someone said the  was actually 2401 was the planned release date of Paper Mario(Feb. 4, 01) . Making "Luigi is real in Paper Mario" witch he is. {{User:Whitey/sig}}

==Those big orange-yellow Boxes==
I'm talking about the big boxes that look like they're made of cork, and first appear at the beginning of Bob-omb battlefield, and appear in several other levels, especially Wet-Dry World. Do those boxes have an official name? Do we have an article on those? --{{User|Garlic Man}}

==FA??==
WTF??! Why the heck is this a featured article? It doesn't even have the GAMEPLAY section!! Even Wikipedia has the gameplay section! 
{{User:Booderdash/sig|.}}

Everything that we could put in a gameplay section is pretty much in other sections of the article. Not all articles need a gameplay section, you know. {{User:Fawfulfury65/sig}}

If you unite Courses, Secret Courses, and Abilities under one header, the resulting section would be the gameplay section, so it is not an issue of lacking content. However, Booderdash also points out something different. The lack of a Gameplay section seems inconsistent. Maybe we can create a gameplay section and make the three current sections sub-sections of this Gameplay section. This wouldn't change anything of the content, but organize it in a more consistent way. What do you think? - {{User:Edofenrir/sig}} 17:01, 4 March 2010 (EST)

==About SM64 on iQue==
If Mario sees Yoshi And he talks with Yoshi, will Yoshi say: Mario!!! It that really you??? Or will he say: Mario!!! Is that really you??? And yes, i know the iQue is in Chinese. {{ User:MarioMan51/sig}} 10:02, 22 July 2012 (EDT)

== New Beta Fact! ==

I don't know if you know this or not but in a NG kids article about Mario Sunshine and how advanced the game was (at the
time)and how advanced the GCN was(again,at the time) and on a thing on how Mario had advanced at the time and on the
SM64 picture, it was beta but what's interesting about it that the post to free the Chain-Chomp was not there.
I don't know if they hadn't placed it there yet or the in game camera angle was wrong but I think they didn't
originally need you to free Chain-Chomp. From, Yoshi101.
If anybody wants to know what issue it is, it's May 2003.

== Chinese date ==
"November 21, 2003 (iQue Player)" - is that right?
* Wikipedia (zh, ja, de, en) says the iQue Player was released on 17 November 2003.
* [http://blogs.fsfe.org/stefan.a/2008/12/23/the_chinese_nintendo_64_ique/ fsfe] mentions Dr. Mario 64 and demos of Super Mario 64, Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Wave Race 64 and Star Fox 64, which came with the iQue Player. So shouldn't the real games been out when the demos and thus when the iQue Player came out?
* One side in the net (can't find it right now and maybe it was just google-"translated") should've said something like there was some Tokyo Games event and then on 17. Nov. 2003 the iQue Player was avaible in China resp. Shanghai.
* [http://web.archive.org/web/20061217190100/http://www.ique.com/news/game_news_031118.htm iQue at web.archive]: "iQue神游机于2003年11月18日在中国上海试卖，五款全中文优秀游戏软件-神游马力欧、星际火狐、塞尔达传说-时光之笛、水上摩托、马力欧医生随首发套装同步上市，市场反响良好。". It mentiones the iQue Player, the 18 November 2003 and 5 games (Super Mario 64, Star Fox 64 AKA Lylat Wars, Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Wave Race 64 and Dr. Mario 64).
-[[User:Bernd|Bernd]] ([[User talk:Bernd|talk]]) 00:12, 29 April 2013 (EDT)

This is because the iQue games did come out before the system was released, but only for the N64. They didn't port them until the time that the iQue was made. -Essem

==Warpa==
Should we have a page detailing the warp locations in the game (and the ones that are also in its remake)? It would be informative and all in one place, as not all of the courses have the "Statistics from Super Mario 64" section. "List of Warp Locations in Super Mario 64" might be a good name. Should such a page be made, or should the course articles simply be updated? [[User:8BrickMario]]

== 2 Trivial Points ==

As Mega says someone else must decide whether these go:
*If a second controller is plugged into the N64, it can be used to control the camera while Peach congratulates Mario and during the credits.
*If Mario is left alone for certain amount of time in the castle, he say that he is tired and begins to sleep. If he is left alone, he will say "Night Night", "Ah, Spaghetti", "Ah, Ravioli", and "Mama Mia"

Personally I think both should go, but I can see reason for the first point staying. {{User|Yoshi876}}

::::Just Checked, he doesn't say anything while sleeping in DS.. The: "if you close the DS, Mario says 'Bye-Bye' and then when opening it again he says 'It's a me Mario'" is true.

You miss... plotholes? You don't notice... errors? We like no missed imformation... ''rummmmble''  We like no unprinted facts...

Based on the reference, I guess you realised one of them is Eyerok. He asked who broke the seal & woke him, cleary implying that he had been sleep since ancient times, but it said that Bowser had given the power stars to his minions inside the walls. The other one was when Koopa The Quick says he is sad about losing to Mario (and the star is called rematch with Koopa the Quick), but what if you get there without beating Koopa the Quick first?

:Okay, first Eyerok might have meant Bowser might have came without waking him up (Although I can't imagine the heavyweight doing so) or Bowser broke the seal and fled, or even maybe Shifting sands is in some sort of time paradox, who knows! Koopa the Quick... I don't think there are enough stars to get to him time two without beating him time one... I'll have to double check.

== Shrug-like animation ==

== iQue Player Version release date ==

This page states the iQue Player (Chinese) Version to be released on Nov 21, 2003. However, this game was avaliable as a pre-installed trial version on all iQue Player consoles since launch day, which is Nov 17, 2003.
Unlike future Nintendo digital demos where they only offer limited features, the iQue Player demos are full games with a play time limit, and thus it should be reasonable to infer that a full version should also be obtainable on the console's launch day. 
Since there are no sources for the Nov 21st release, I have updated the release date to 11/17/03. I'd be happy to see the change reverted if proper source is avaliable.<br> [[User:H.N.K./H.N.K.]] 15:38,  2 September 2019 (GMT+8)

== Ending picture ==

Hello,

I recently completed Super Mario 64 (the N64 original ported to the Wii U VC, which is the only version of the game I have ever owned or played) and after the credits finished and a picture of a cake with Mario and Peach figurines on top, and "The End" displayed, I was not able to do anything. No buttons I pressed or joysticks I tilted would do anything. I tried waiting to no avail. The only way I could continue the game was to press "Reset" on the VC menu which did not save my progress of having won the game. Am I missing something or is this deliberate?

As an aside to this, I experience exactly the same thing after beating Wario in SML2 so I wonder if it was merely a standard of older games that the "The End" screen would not end until you turned off the console and you could not save. Having grown up in the Wii/DS era, I always found it standard for games to save your victory and to return you to the title screen after beating the game (e.g. Super Paper Mario, Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2, Donkey Kong Country Retunrs.)

Thank you [[User:MiracleDinner|MiracleDinner]] ([[User talk:MiracleDinner|talk]]) 11:50, October 28, 2019 (EDT)

I'm pretty sure a lot of older games do that too, others I recall it with are ''Paper Mario'', ''Super Mario RPG'', the first two ''Kingdom Hearts'' games, and several others. [[User:Mario Sakuraba|Mario Sakuraba]] ([[User talk:Mario Sakuraba|talk]]) 11:59, October 28, 2019 (EDT)

Before Super Mario 64, there was Super Mario Kart and Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. I believe the thing should say "first 3D Mario platforming game" and not "first 3D Mario game."

-== Bosses and "bosses" ==
-So there's a little inconsistency as to what constitutes the bosses in this game. Big Bob-omb, Whomp King, Eyerok, and Wiggler all have shared boss music, dialogue upon beginning and defeat, and grant a star upon defeat, Bowser is the same but with different music and rewards (and so is still in the same boat), but Big Boo, Big Mr. I, Big Bully, and Chill Bully all lack a musical cue or dialogue (unless you count the dialogue in "Go on a Ghost Hunt," which I always assumed was the normal Boos you were defeating), but still give a star upon defeat. While the lack on music could be said to be due to to them being scaled-up versions of normal enemies, the same could be said for the Whomp King.
-Anyways, currently every enemy that spawns a star upon defeat is listed as a boss save for one. I'm not talking about Chain Chomp, Klepto, or Ukkiki, since those aren't actually "defeated" nor do they "spawn" the star. I'm talking about the group of Big Fire Piranhas in "Pluck the Piranha Flower." Sure, there's [https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WolfpackBoss a lot of them], but there's not really anything differentiating how that mission functions compared to any of the other music-less "bosses." I suppose what I'm saying is that we should either consider the Piranha Flowers a group boss or stop considering the other music- and dialogue-lacking ones bosses. Personally, I'm more for the former. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 20:00, March 15, 2022 (EDT)
