Not to be confused with the Personification of the A.I., which concerns the in-game manifestation of the Personalisation A.I. in the original version of Super Mario 64.

"Theodore" is the name attributed to an anomalous entity that exclusively manifests within the rEMUnisce emulator. "Theodore" is described as having unusually pale skin, well-kempt red hair and freckles. "Theodore" is also commonly seen wearing a sundress reminiscent of a hospital gown, tied up with a large bow at the back bearing the Nintendo 64 color scheme, bearing a small Nintendo 64 symbol present in the middle of the bow. "Theodore" is also commonly described without eyes or any facial features other than freckles, as previously described.

Ingame Manifestations
rEMUnisce is a discontinued emulator intending to replicate the Personalization AI present in Super Mario 64. The emulator can only emulate NTSC ROMs of Super Mario 64, attempts to emulate other versions or any other ROM results in the emulator crashing, displaying the error message "ERR AI UNABLE." Although the emulator was considered lost media ever since its discontinuation, as of recent a decompilation of the program conducted or held by a group or individual that goes by the alias [alias] was released.

"AI_Training_Logs"
Within the decompilation of rEMUnisce, many have noted a seemingly misplaced text file located within the folder of personalization-related files in the emulator. Despite all other files related to personalization rendered entirely undecipherable despite decompilation, a file named "AI_Training_Logs.txt" is perfectly legible. The contents of the file are as such: Day 1: I'm starting this virtual diary for multiple reasons, to catalogue progress on training the AI, to quell my nerves, and most of all, to remember him. I'm not sure how much more time I have with him, the nurse said that it all depends on the severity of the final diagnosis once the tests come back. I know he's dying, I've known that ever since I walked into this room. I can see it on his face, his wonderful face. I told him about the AI today, he seemed to understand, though wondered why he never noticed it. I explained to him that only little things ever happened to his copy, like a crack in the tower or those blue goombas. He giggled, saying how silly I sound talking about a game like a Mario one in such a serious tone. I smile, telling him about what this could mean for technology, knowing that Nintendo created an AI back in '96 could change everything. He nods, understanding once more. I let him know that I will have him start playtesting an emulator I was cobbling together before he fell ill, one that will hopefully utilize the AI like none before it. He agrees to do so, saying that spending time with me like old times would take his mind off this whole illness thing.

"AI_Training_Logs.txt" likely holds significance for the operation of the emulator, as if the emulator is recompiled without the file, it crashes upon launch, displaying the error message "ERR 92907 [AI_Training_Logs.txt] GONE."
