Spacescene

Spacescene is the name given to an anomalous area in Super Mario 64 that may be re-added through Personalisation. It is most commonly accessed through the Third Floor of Peach's Castle.

Appearance
The area, hereafter referred to as "Spacescene", is a hub-world area which takes place in space. There is a large, invisible platform that the player spawns on, which leads to a large stone structure with a hexagonal hole in it's center. The only decoration is the skybox, which uses a stock photo of space. Unusually, this remains highly consistent among reports, whereas most anomalous areas that appear in multiple reports tend to vary in appearance or use. Depending on the copy, there may be a Star present, or a unique NPC that hints towards other peronalisations or anomalies.

Music
One of the only attributes to Spacescene that is inconsistent among reports is the music track that plays. While most reports explain that the area is silent or has some kind of ambience noise, some music tracks have been extracted that are reported to play in the area. Below are two excerpts.



Other Attributes
The Hole in it's center is set to have a warp point, however entering it either freezes the game on a blank screen, resets the console, or ejects the player into another Hub World in the "taking damage" state. There are several theories that explain this (see: Theorizing).

The level has no walls, meaning the player can fall off. Upon hitting the bottom of the area, you will be warped to Wing Mario over the Rainbow in the taking damage state. Presently, no report has accessed Spacescene without already obtaining the Wing Cap, so any potential interactions are unknown.

The skybox appears to move constantly, as if the entire area is flying through space. This effect isn't used in any other area of the game.

Accessing the Area
Most commonly, the area is accessed through clipping out of bounds in a certain area on the Third Floor. This usually has some form of hint added, including different wall textures or changed dialogue to hint at accessing it. It may also be accessed by passing a certain height threshold in a sky-based stage, most commonly Wing Mario Over the Rainbow. In some instances, Spacescene has been reported to have been found behind a Torn Painting. Regardless, there will be a pipe, hole, or similar entrance that warps the player.

Spacescene seems to be on the rarer end of the A.I scale, as it only seems to appear in more heavily personalized copies of the game. Some kind of 'selection process' is theorized to exist, however due to the nature of the area, the reasoning for this is unknown.
