The ██/hau14/jan61/toi21 is an anomaly found in only 3 personalized copies of Super Mario 64. It was scrapped before a name was given, so it uses a RAC (Random Alphanumeric Combination). My copy has it called "hau14". Another person said it is called "jan61". The third person: "toi21".

Development
It was removed from the game (but not from the game's files, the Personalization AI can still include this in personalized copies) in July 30 1995, one day after the famous 1995/07/29 build. Not much is known about the development and nothing at all is known about the looks it could've had in the final game.

Behavior and Looks
It's supposed to be a Goomba-like entity, but it has differences.

It looks like a big, dark blue ball with Goomba legs. It uses the Boo sound effect when saying something and has the Beta Boo's face textures (without the mouth). This means it was scrapped before it got proper looks and a unique sound effect.
 * It has 3 HP, which means you should jump on it 3 times to kill it.
 * Kills you if you touch it.
 * Tries to dodge your attempts to kill it. Says "Try harder."
 * Kills other enemies (unfortunately steals their coins, too)
 * Killing it drops 2 blue coins.

Appearances
This enemy doesn't appear right away, you have to do something. It is unlocked by pressing START+A+B+L on the title screen, which then shows "TEST MODE ENABLED". It appears only in the following levels in all 3 copies:


 * Unused Level 1 (TEST/Stage99)
 * Bob-omb Battlefield (Battlefield)
 * ? (Flower Mountain)
 * ? (Snow Island)
 * Big Boo's Haunt (Boo Apparition)
