Greenio's Odd Findings

A series of 8 recordings have been uploaded by the YouTuber Greenio, all cataloged within a playlist called Super Mario 64 Odd Findings. The videos contain grainy footage of Super Mario 64 phenomena. These videos are not canon to Greenio's Lost Tapes.

The video starts with Mario in the Basement of the Castle. He goes to the Basement Hallway, where a coloring error takes place. Eerie music begins to play. He subsequently enters the Star Door, where the Wario Apparition occurs, and the screen goes to black. After this, four black and white pictures occur and the eerie music continues to play. The first one is a screenshot of beta Peach's Castle. Next, a beta picture of a creepier version of the racing penguin at Cool, Cool Mountain. Then, a screenshot of a beta version of Super Mario 64 with a boo (presumably the beta Castle Courtyard). Lastly, a picture of Bob-omb Battlefield (specifically the Spring 1996 version of Bob-omb Battlefield). After this, the game goes back to the title screen.

The video starts with Mario at the Eternal Star Statue. The screen subsequently goes to black three times and Mario then dies. An error message subsequently appears with a voice playing in the background. The voice is in Japanese but the voice roughly translated says "The area reached in the game was not supposed to be accessed by the general public. Turn off the game system and send us a copy of the game for confirmation. Don't ask anything else. Luigi is not part of this game. He does not exist in this title. Talking about this event to anyone you know may have legal consequences. Thank you for understanding." Finally, a beta picture of Super Mario 64 appears, where both Mario and Luigi are in Rainbow Ride.

This seems to be a commercial accidentally airing on Cartoon Network back when the Nintendo 64 was called the Nintendo Ultra 64. It starts off with regular beta Mario 64 footage, but then, at 0:38, the infamous Wario Apparition occurs. The commercial then switches to a screen saying "EBS. This is a test. This station is conducting a test of the Emergency Broadcast System. This is only a test." Then there are two long beeps, and at 0:58, the text changes to: “This is a test of the Emergency Broadcast System. The broadcasters of your area in voluntary cooperation with federal, state, and local authorities..."

The video starts with a debug screen with the skybox of Wet-Dry World, which seems to be a showcase of textures starting with texture ID 37 which is the texture of the beta brick walls on the outside of Peach's Castle, the textures can be moved, change their size and angle of them. As the video goes on, it showcases more textures IDs until the video shows texture ID 41 (which is Luigi's cap emblem) and after that, when looking at texture ID 41, there's no visible texture at all, after that, a few texture IDs appear until there's texture ID 45 (which resembles a brain) which briefly appears before it causes a crash handler screens and the video ends.

The video starts with a mulitiplayer test with Mario in the Castle Grounds and Luigi in a beta version of the Castle Courtyard, the castle seems to be the one from the Spaceworld beta. As the video goes on, both Mario and Luigi enter the castle and when they're in the same room, the game freezes and a crash handler appears, then the video ends.

The video contains screenshots of the B-Roll era build of Super Mario 64, along with some images of a SGI-era Mario, another one shows an untextured version of the Beta Mario model. There's also images of the Shoshinkai-era, including images of the inside of Peach's Castle, River Mountain (a Shoshinkai version of Bob-Omb Battlefield) and even images of the Toad Shrine and the Fourth Floor, all while a beta version of Dire, Dire Docks plays in the background.

The video starts with Mario running in a beta version of the Castle Grounds, which has a sunset background, the player then goes to the back of the castle (the castle is presumably the Patent version of the castle, explaining why the player can go behind), the video then cuts and Mario is now inside Peach's Castle, after trying to enter 2 doors, the player goes to the door upstairs, but the door lead to a hallway with another door which leads to the Fourth Floor, the player explores it, but the video cuts again and Mario is now in the room with the painting to Snow Slider (the beta name for Cool, Cool Mountain), the player exits the room and is now in the Fourth Floor, the video cuts and Mario is now in the room with the Toad Shrine, the video cuts and Mario is still in that area and goes to the balcony after a while, Mario jumps off the balcony and the video ends

first-build.mp4
The video shows a test build from '94. 1 year before Spaceworld 1995. It shows Mario running around a solid green plain (also notice that the HUD is different and that there's a Debug Menu), with also a Pink untextured MIPS. He walks around for a bit until near the end, he finds a trail of coins. When he collects the trail, the game crashes.

Ghost-level.mp4
the video shows a beta version of Big Boo’s Haunt named Ghost House

TAPE ONE | 2021 Remake
The video, as its title says, it's a remake of the tape 'please-walk-quietly-in-the-hallway.mp4', but with minor changes. At the beggining, is practically identic to its prototype, and after a glitch, the text 'You want fun?' appears for a short time (Note also that the Hud is different). When Mario enters the Door with the star, the Wario Apparition emerges, causing the screen go black. After that, Wario talks directly to the player, with the merry-go round theme, apparently, aware he is a video game character, while he glitches.

The Dialogue is:

"Phoey! Why've you come to bother me like this?""Eh? Oh? Oh, you having fun?""Hey, you know...""I have a pal who isn't.""Maybe you know him?""(Laughs)""Anyway, you sure having fun with this game, eh?""You gotta be Coo Coo Crazy!""You want fun? WARIO SHOW YOU FUN." "Later, he disappears for a second and then comes again from the Dire, Dire Docks portal, even more disturbing than before, without eyes and screaming."Then, Mario falls into the castle start point, losing 4 points of health (note the heart icon instead of the clock). Mario walks closer and looks into the castle, the screen glitches and he appears in the Eternal Star fount. A Boo attacks him, Mario then runs out and gets into the Cool, cool mountain slide. Jumps and teleports into Bob-Omb Battlefield, and gets pushed by a Goomba (note that in each teleportation, the hud changes and also makes reference to the beta pictures in the prototype). Mario runs again and apears in a corridor, trying to scape from the Wario Apparition, but Wario finally catches him. The title screen appears for the last time, and slowly fades away.

Trivia

 * Originally, these tapes were canon to Greenio's Lost Tapes, but on August 8th, Greenio decided to make these separate from the other 6 tapes.
 * In 'please-walk-quietly-in-the-hallway.mp4', you can see at the end that Mario nearly looks at the player and then turns to another place. The reason is still unknown.
