A little while back I made a version of this video that was converted to an actual VHS tape on an actual VCR. I did this just to test how it’d work for something in the future and if you want to watch this in an “authentic SM64 beta” way then here you go: https://youtu.be/i4aTnZnU3sk

Also, apologies for the joke about Liam Triforce’s video (same to an extent with the Nathaniel Bandy joke), I don’t have anything against him or that video he made. In fact that video is probably one of the most personal videos on mario 64 and I really enjoy it. Ive gotten a few comments about it and I notice its the most watched part of the video so I thought I should bring it up, as I don’t know why I put that in there, and it’s something I wouldn’t do again nowadays.

Lastly, thank you so much for all the support and comments on this video. It should be known this was made when 0.7 was the latest version as I hope you're aware. I don't think I'll make a follow-up video to this talking about 1.0 just putting that out there. If you want to check out my other stuff, then please consider watching.... anything else I've made, after this video!

Easily one of my favorite romhacks/mods for any game just because of how effectively it makes you feel like you're going crazy just by playing the game like normal. Every time you go to a new area I swear it feels like you're losing your mind and I love that

9:55 one of the most disturbing parts of this particular level is how it is implied that despite the rather barren and deserted feeling the open town has, there are still people around, albeit indoors. A few Bob ombs are outside and can be spoken to. But as I'm pretty sure one mentions, your arrival signals the inevitable fate of the quiet town of being made infinitely quieter, buried under a risen sea of water.

13:05
Okay that's fuckin hilarious, imagining Bowser inside a 4x4 room all holed up behind a locked door, holding Peach hostage. Rainbow Six Siege stuff

0:48, we’ve also found the entire n64 beta for cubivore

I would have gladly paid for this, one of the coolest gaming experiences I've had in a long time. I want to see indie games inspired by it ... I could see "cursed beta version of an unnamed game" becoming a new genre.

I think this ROM not only try to explore the unused content, but also tries exploring the creepypasta idea “SM64 beta had a darker tone” and “Every copy is personalized”

I created the Floor 2B image at 7:25. When I was playing B3313 for the first time and stumbled across that room my brain stopped for a second it was trippy as hell.
I kinda sort of hate that a fake SM64 room I made in google sketchup in 20 minutes outshines everything else I try to do but I'm also extremely proud and I can have a part in this amazing project.

I love how this rom hack feels like a whole ass fever dream. It basically takes the liminal aspect the original game has and scales it up to 100. It really does feel like an endless personalized copy.

I've never before felt so much nostalgia and discomfort at the same time.

Well from what I seen and heard (Mainly from in game text boxes,events and the wiki) the game tells a story of how the Mario bros, Bowser and his minions, and peach are essentially trapped inside of the castle because of the personalization ai  and are forever doomed to roam the castle halls hence why once you leave a level you're basically warped into a part of the castle to confuse you and make you hopelessly look for an exit out and also why the castle is a huge maze that seems to go on forever.
The hack takes a lot from greenio, jefftastic and a few other creators vids and im pretty sure they contributed to the project as well.

It's a really fun and eerie hack. I recommend anyone who hasn't tried it to play it

This game is kind of my worst nightmare. Being stuck, alone in an endless maze, no matter what effort I make to go back to the entrance, I only descend deeper into the castle, slowly going insane, never to see the light of day again.
I’m fully convinced this romhack was inspired by creepy pastas.

Even though I have 144 stars not including the Tall Tall mountain 100 coins, I still feel like I have not explored everything. In this video, there is a section cut out from Big Boo’s haunt.

Every top comment on a Mario 64 video is a personalised joke

The "final goal" of this game has to do with the 30 star door in the red zone, right? If you beat the "final" boss, with an extra life, then go back to said star door, you'll get stuck in an infinite loop. Mario, or Luigi, won't stop using the star power to open the door. Perhaps you can avoid this trap by opening the door, then turning back to grab a star and save?

Also, you get infinite lives if you beat this "final" boss with 1, or more, extra lives.

Cool thing to mention, the version of the hack that is available currently is version 0.7. The finished version is supposed to be coming out sometime in the next couple of months. Considering that the current version has 140-145 stars, I can only imagine how large the finished version will be.

When I say weirdcore, this is what I mean. It’s large, empty, vast, and not only is there hidden dangers but also a strange aura of safety as well. It’s like the personalization ai wants to mess with me but also comfort me, it’s a bit disorienting but I know it can’t hurt me, which makes it fun to play. I’m definitely checking out this hack as it is not only a weird and dreamlike experience but also a fun yet psychological quest.

7:14 I feel the same way about sonic cd sometimes.

One of my favourite things about the mod is just how fantastically it manages to merge beta content, creepypasta styled twists and gaming dreams into one massive surprising package.

Some of the levels looked exactly how you'd dream them up as a child, I never played the OG SM64, but when I was really young, probably about 5 or 6, I can vaguely remember having similar dreams about Spyro the Dragon that were very similar to how some of the levels in this hack were presented and played. Dreams of me playing Spyro 2 and 3 and finding these brand new worlds and secrets, in a very similar way this hack transports you to random areas, I mean it, this mod absolutely nails that "childhood gaming dream" down extremely well.

Likewise, the creepypasta aspect is very well done, I feel, some levels >are< just beta recreations, some >are< just based on our childhood dreams, but, the creepypasta twists are so unexpected. Like the Boo Courtyard changing into that deserted, empty void where there's nothing but wind blowing, or that sewer area that turns red and black with the figure staring at you in the distance. I like them because it gives you a feeling of unease, without being overly reliant on stupid, crappy  jumpscares for the horror effect.

i know the inspiration for b3313 is more in line with the beta sm64 build, but it almost feels like the subtle changes in maps, textures, points of interest, etc are visual representations of the combination of several people's false memories, misremembering a game they haven't played since childhood. like the coin counter and lives counter overlay, i can definitely see someone misremembering how the sm64 stats overlay actually looks in favor of something more simple. or another example is like at 14:07, some people may genuinely remember the left image of the game, and some may genuinely remember the right side. it's a weird case of the mandela effect wrapped up in one rom hack. super well done and i think it works for this sort of theme as well, even if the intention was solely meant to be a confusing beta-esque build.
