Super Mario 64 2



Not to be confused with Super Mario 128, a tech demo for the Nintendo GameCube that shares a codename with Super Mario 64 2 that would later go on to become another game known as Pikmin.

Super Mario 64 2 was a cancelled sequel to Super Mario 64 planned to be released for the Nintendo 64DD around 1999. It is notable for intending to include several scrapped features from Super Mario 64, such as a playable Luigi in a Multiplayer Mode, mountable Yoshi. The game was cancelled due to the Nintendo 64DD becoming a commercial failure. However, the planned mechanics would later appear in future Super Mario Bros. games.The only progress made on Super Mario 64 2 was an unreleased demo level where Mario and Luigi could both roam around, though the game was cancelled before any more progress was made on the game. However, other games such as Super Mario 64 DS and Super Mario Sunshine have filled the role of a sequel to Super Mario 64.

Temporal Leakage
The Super Mario 64 Iceberg mentions that Super Mario 64 2 may have been cancelled due to a "Temporal Leakage". While it is not entirely understood what this means, it appears to suggest that a temporal anomaly interfered with the game's development. However, this appears to be illogical, as the game's reason for cancellation is well-known, and Temporal Leakages appear to be pure fiction. The other common interpretation is that it means a regular type of leakage, like that of the Oman Archive, though no such leaks have been recovered.

Mario's Adventure
Main Article: Mario's Adventure

Mario's Adventure is a cancelled game for the similarly unreleased Special 64 console, believed by some to be Super Mario 64 2 due to being very similar in nature and also being intended for release on another version of the Nintendo 64. However, due to a lack of most features associated with Super Mario 64 2 and it's nature of being meant for the Special 64 instead of the Nintendo 64DD, this theory is largely disregarded.
