MIPS' Hole

MIPS' Hole is a course found in certain personalized copies of Super Mario 64. It is usually found by jumping into a hole somewhere dug by MIPS the Rabbit. It is described as a large cavern area, and almost all non-level anomaly has been documented to appear here. The level appears to be infinite, possibly due to Dynamic Level Arrangemen t or Dynamic Level Rearrangement. Notably, there is no star select screen, and the player must find stars on their own. The stars are not consistent either.

Theorizing
It is believed Nintendo designed this level as a testing grounds for the Personalization A.I.'s several anomalies, though why and how is unconfirmed, as it is believed they would have attempted to repair them instead of test them, though some suggest that this was designed to understand anomalies to patch them. It is also possible the Personalization A.I. managed to find out about the MIPS Hole wiki and made this level to mock it, though this is unconfirmed.
