EF Testing Sandbox

Overview
The Eternal Fort is the name given to an extremely elusive anomaly in Super Mario 64. It's existance, while almost purely speculative, has been given some footing in recent years. Concrete information on the anomaly is scarce, as very few players claim to have seen it and those that have almost always refuse to talk about their experience.

Music
Recently, a video claiming to have extracted a music track related to the Eternal Fort has surfaced online. This song is widely considered to be the "theme song" for the Eternal Fort, most commonly believed to imply that it is a Course. Of course, as with most information, the true nature of this song is unknown. It may very well be not be as related to the Fort as commonly believed, although it's legitimacy as a real track has supposedly been proven.

Bowser Course
Out of the very scarce information known abot the Fort, one of the more common interpretations is that it is a Bowser course, dubbed "Bowser in The Eternal Fort". If this is true, the Eternal Fort could have very well been the planned Bowser course for the Fourth Floor.

Potential Memetic Effects
Almost all players who have claimed to interact with the Fort quickly become silent when asked for details and further information. While they most commonly simply become silent, some report not being able to recall or remember their experience. Thus, some investigators believe that the Fort exhibits a form of memory-wiping anomalous effect on it's players, leading to most, if not all information being forgotten during or after leaving the game. Whether or not this is true is a subject of heavy debate as well as how powerful the effect is.

If true, this is likely the reason that information on the anomaly is so scarce; any information found is simply forgotten about before it can be reported.e

Theorizing
Theories regarding the nature of the Fort are very common as concrete information regarding it is very rare to come across. As such, multiple "Interpretations" have been formed which attempt to explain the nature of the Eternal Fort. Normally, theories are considered largely irrelevant to a given anomaly, however due to the very unique nature of the Eternal Fort, a list of Interpretations made and researched by notable community members has been established below.
