A Long & Lonesome Road

A Long & Lonesome Road (AKA The Greatest Level In The World) is an anomalous level in Super Mario 64. It is accessible from the Fifth Floor via a recording booth. Normally this recording booth can only send you to Albuquerque, New Mexico, Big Boo's Restaurant, Bowser in the Shower, or Level Name with a Pun or Something, but by messing with some wires in the booth, you can get it to send you to this level.

The level consists of a long, seemingly empty road. After walking for a bit, A Shiny Demon shines in the middle of the road and says "Play the best song in the world, or I'll eat your souls!". After this, a rhythm minigame begins. The player must press the button on their Nintendo 64 controller that corresponds to the button onscreen when the red dot reaches the blue square. At the end of the minigame, if the player missed at least one input, they will get an instant game over. Otherwise, The Shiny Demon will ask "Be you angels?" If the player chooses "Nay, we are but men!", they will unleash a yell so powerful, it defeats The Shiny Demon for good, and spawns a Rainbow Star. If the player selects "Yes", They.
