Super Mario 64 mysteries

    ...It seems a lot like someone trying to make somethings out of nothings.

    I mean who cares if:



    oohhh the plaque is the same, conspiracyyyyy~~

    It clearly says eternal star, too.

    Till shade is gone, till water is gone, into the Shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath, to spit in Sightblinder’s eye on the last Day.

    It just comes of as reading far too much into everything.

    That too.  Taking little meaningless details and turning them into big mysteries.

    It's like if I looked at my wine glass and thought:

    'Hmm slight markings on the inside...

    It could either mean the dishwasher scratched the cheap glass OR aliens secretly etch messages into my glassware. 

    It is a mystery.'

    The question is imminent:

    why is the text, unaltered from its original form, featured in Ocarina of Time?

    Because they needed a texture that looked like written text and they figured they might as well reuse one from Super Mario 64.  HOLY SHIT I MUST BE LIKE SHERLOCK HOLMES OR SOME SHIT HOW ELSE COULD I FIGURE THAT OUT SO FAST?

    The best part is when he tries to prove that Tiny-Huge Island is canonically two different islands.

    I think I hate the writer of the text.

    He is like the people who look for shout outs to their favourite media in everything.

    EDIT:
    ARGGHHHHHH

    The second floor of the castle is home to a considerable number of enigmas: the
    
hidden coins in Snowman's Land and Tiny-Huge Island, the mirror room (discussed
    
in detail in section xxi), and this mystery. There is a painting affixed to the
    
wall next to the staircase that leads up to the 50-Star door. The unique aspect
    
of this painting is that it is unlike all other paintings in the game. It seems
    
to be a rendering of a nighttime sky mottled with stars. Rumor has it that this
    
painting was originally the entrance to a level named Milky Way or something to
    
that effect. Some time ago, I decided to transform the stars in the painting to
    
Morse code, using the small stars as dots and the larger stars as dashes. After
    
some deliberation, I noticed that the Morse code I obtained could be translated
    
as "in an elm." This is somewhat interesting considering that Tick Tock Clock's
    
entrance is in a tree, possibly an elm tree. Whether or not this is just a mere
    
coincidence, a circumstance of the human brain finding patterns where there are
    
none, or a sign that the pariah of paintings holds a secret, is unanswerable.

    Fanwank thread?

    I quite like this one, because it kind of makes some sense

    Right now I don't know how to fully express my rage at that article through the web. You just cannot take programming and game development shortcuts and try to extrapolate things from from the shortcuts, you just can't. 
  • StormtroperStormtroper
    IJBM when these kind of theorists forget they're playing a translation.

    On that note, for the level name mysteries, the Tika (or Chika) in Bowser in the Fire Sea simply means underground in Japanese, referring to the fact that you're underground, or that the game is an allegory that the first levels are Mario committing sin (he had been collecting five-pointed stars, a satanic symbol) and going to the castle's depth, hell, and must atone for them by collecting more stars (which also are a Christian symbol) to reach heaven at the top of the castle (Rainbow Ride and Bowser in the Sky) and if he gets all of the stars, he can get even farther than that and reach God (Yoshi).

    I think it's kind of amusing to read batfuck crazy fanwank like this.

    Its sad when you realize they're serious, though.

    If you must eat a phoenix, boil it, do not roast it. This only encourages their mischievous habits.

    No it's not.

    Stars are satanic man.

    I remember a while ago, I was looking at the stars, and like.

    Satan was in the stars!

    /hippie talk.

    Shhhh.... I'm having a celestial moment, clock.
  • WaltzyWaltzy
    I'm sure there's a difference between five-pointed stars and five-pointed stars that are bright yellow with cute faces on them.
  • MalkavianMalkavian
    MORONS! I'VE GOT MORONS ON MY PAYROLL!
    Pentacles/grams are actually protection from evil... which actually works with the invincibility stars in a weird way.

    I am certain this was intentional.

    Guys, clearly the game forshadowed Super Mario Sunshine! Paintings become real worlds. Magic Paintbrush used by Bowser Junior to make things real. IT ALL MAKES SENSE! [/crazytalk]
  • Trigger_LoadedTrigger_Loaded
    Considering all the batshit crazy theories I made in the Wild Mass Guessing pages on TV Tropes, I really don't feel I have a place to condemn this guy for noting weird patterns.

    Though he does seem to take it a bit too seriously.
