![]() Apparently, the worst of these “personalization A.I.” glitches is known as the " Wario Apparition," a disembodied head that can be found in the basement of the game’s castle. (I had a friend who insisted that he hopped on Yoshi’s back and rode him in Mario 64's f inale.) The legend gets way more disturbing from there. This theory seemed to explain why we often share conflicting anecdotes about playing the decades-old game, some of which are completely bizarre. This creepypasta (or, internet urban legend) alleges that Nintendo was testing the waters with a new “personalization A.I.” technology that created strange nuances in Mario 64-such as alternate levels, music tracks, and characters-unique to every player's cartridge. It was around this time when I discovered a thread on Reddit called " Every copy of Mario 64 is personalized," which describes a bunch of urban legends about the Nintendo game, including the existence of a very scary, very “cursed” appearance of-you guessed it-Wario. That is, until earlier this month, when Nintendo announced the game would be, at long last, coming to the Nintendo Switch as part of Super Mario 3D All-Stars, a trio of remasters in celebration of the mascot’s 35th birthday. I was a needy younger sibling I’d churn up all sorts of superstition for attention and never think of it again. Of course my brother never found the secret Wario level. ![]()
