The Lost Spikes

The Lost Spikes is a level found in some personaliezd copies of Super Mario 64. The way to access the level varies in copies. The level’s name was given by the community due to his missing in the game.

Accessing the level
Some reported having to activate a «!» Switch in the level that could build a bridge that lead far from the level. Others have reported using a Wing Cap they found somewhere in the level.

Appearance
This level takes the appearance of the stalactites and stalagmites seen in the skybox of Bowser in the Dark World. The level is filled with several stalactites and stalagmites of varying heights and size. The terrain is very rough, and it’s easy to fall into several bottomless pits. People reported that there’s no enemies, only a black fog not far from the player.

Theorizing
The level has been reported to be very large and seemingly endless, though some theorize this to occur due to teleports at the edges of the level teleporting the player to the oposite sides. there’s also no way to exit the level unless the player leave the level manually.

This level has been theorized to be a scrapped level that would have been used for testing the «endless level» procedural generation mechanic that has often been reported in this level.
