r/SuperMario64

It’s been 16 years and I can’t describe the incredible flow of nostalgia as i opened the castle doors and sit for 5 min listening to the catchiest music ever. This game is packed with nostalgic music and i will sit and listen to them all, but this one hit me the hardest. I never managed to finish the game as a 5 Year old since I barely understand what the goal was, I was just running around at the time and exploring. i got quite close to freeing Peach, but lost my device before i could finish the game💔. Now I can finally complete this game and i can’t wait any longer

Let me know if you like it or not I think it's pretty good and funny lol

Doing my first playthrough relatively blind and just did this. Am i officially a speedrunner? (That was a joke)

Any reason why this happens? A little confused, because this occurs when selecting a save

Kano the eel was scary as hell. I also found underwater levels in video games deeply unsettling in general. Back then I didn't know why. Guess I suffer from Thalassophobia. To this day jolly roger bay gives me the creeps, but dire dire docks is so soothing at the same time. Anyone else share this experience?

Excuse the poor photos but I have never seen this glitch before, lol. On Switch version.

I'm trying to play Star Road on my Everdrive. I tried Kaze's console edition, but it runs very poorly and getting a game over results in a softlock. I found an N64 port on romhacking .com that runs really well, but it doesn't save my progress. I made sure to save my game, press the reset button on my console, and then turn it off.
Has anyone else been able to make this hack work on console? I downloaded the most recent version off of romhacking .com:
Super Mario Star Road (Classic N64 Port) (v1.02).bps

Goose Gaming Folklore recently made a video where he was exploring a 13-year-old Reddit thread on r/n64 where people asked about N64 mysteries. Someone listed a few of their favorites. All of them were very obvious prominent ones except for one: "UFO in JRB".

There was a link to a video that no longer exists and at one point, this "UFO glitch" had a strategy guide on strategywiki (full explanation in the linked video).

Now I know that this is either a hoax, some one-off glitch that was caught on recording years ago and has since been deleted, or some combination of those. However, I was not prominently on the internet back in 2013 and have never heard of this story.

Exploring the top comments of the video, some suggest that it's a glitch with a bubble texture, while others suggest it's a misremember and it's actually the real UFO in Jolly Roger's Lagoon from Banjo Tooie. Some say they remember watching the video, other say it never existed.

Goose tried to recreate the glitch using the steps from the old strategywiki but could not recreate it.

For the folks that know way more about this game than I do, has anyone heard of this glitch/mystery story? I wanted to see if others have ever heard of it. Thanks!
