My copy of SM64 is personalized

I thought they were just rumors. I didn't think they were actually real.

When I first saw the videos, I laughed it off. Just some silly attempt at a meme.

But they were right.

The game knew. And it reared its true ugly head to me this morning.

Don't listen to the naysayers. There is no fourth floor of the castle. There is no secret level. No final build of the game. Every single copy of SM64 is, in fact, personalized.

Okay, in all seriousness, yeah, this video was a joke. I decided to try out the meme for myself, but restraining myself to doing things within the game's original programming on original hardware (so no hacks), and the only video editing I did was splicing footage together to make it seem real. Every "oddity" in the video can be replicated on any copy of SM64 with just a little bit of persistence. I plan on making a video where I explain everything that I did to create this at some point in the future.

Also, there are a few points in the video where the audio seems to cut out for some frames. To add individual text files in the editor I was using, I had to make segments for every single part of the video where I needed a text box. For the most part, I just did this at level transitions, but there are some parts of the video with gaps in the audio. This video was very obviously spliced.

To see the unedited recording that shows the full setup for this video, I've uploaded that here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvifjdSUElg

All of this was recorded on original Nintendo 64 hardware using an original NTSC-U Super Mario 64 cartridge, with no GameShark, Everdrive, or anything of that sort used to modify the game. The video was edited using the built in Lenovo Video Editor.
