r/B3313SM64

Title, I am curious about this rom but it feels like it has nothing to offer

I have no friends to share it with.
I first played super mario 64 four months ago on Not64 emulator on my wii. It was fun game that got my attention, because of it being the one of the first 3d games that was called "revolutionary".
I also played that game because it had that liminal aspect, and because of digital circus (the theory that everything outside pc have N64 like graphics).

I played some levels, but unfortunately quickly got bored of it, collecting barely 20 stars.

Until last week, when I have heared of B3313.

When I first booted the game, I already knew what it contain, somewhat. I wanted to know what that is but didnt wanted to spoil it to myself. So I started with thought in head, that it is going to be a "haunted sm64 with some extra rooms". Boy I was so wrong.

I used Ai to guide me how to play and experience the game in the best way. It told me to just play as it was normal super mario unfinished copy. And in case if I would get lost, then not rush back to the castle, but instead go forward.

So I did. After whole day, mentally exhausted I started playing it at 11pm. For first hour I was collecting stars normally. I also realised there were multiple lobbies, so I learned to navigate through them annd collected most of the stars from the main area. I realised that some movemennts were missing annd i learned that you need to collect red stars to unlock them.

My first "uncanny" experience was when I entered the winter painting annd landed inn a dark hall with three corridors. I explored them all and avoided the holes in ground. The corridors were massive. It felt like forever to get to the end, where there was sstar waiting like nothing at all.

Thenn, I decided to fight bowser for the first time. It was all easy and I have got the red star.

Thenn I have got teleported to the "thronne hall", where i decided to tp back to lobby to make sure i collected all stars that I could.

Then i wennt to the corridor with bowser painting. But to my suprise, there was Peach. Standing backwards, looking at the bowser painting. I was scared that it might be the Faceless peach, so I slowly approached her annd she vanished. (Jsyk i havent beat the whole game yet, so no spoilers).

I made it innto the throne room. Again. I started to explore. I was picking the doors at random. I made it into vannilla lobby, peache's playroom, hall with vanilla textures, a cylindrall hall with red vannilla textures.. Thenn I wennt to the section where everythinng was purple, and weird music started playing. I was parannoid and bit sscared because it was nearly 2am. I tried to runn through that section, and I kept on oppening more and more doors that lead to more and more obscure sections. The dark hall where toads were inprisoned and Peach was standing backwards again (and again it was a ghost), A red-black checkerboard room with weird wall textures, some kind of greenn hall with gates as windows but with no view outside (there also was slomo on that sectionn), More glitched textures with checkerboards and grids.

Then finnaly I opened doorss. That seemed to lead me to normal room (more nnormal than the corrupted leftovers that I was in). I somehow got on top of the castle. I found yoshi there, and he was confused what I was doing there, and so I should look for the princess. So i entered the castle, but this time, there was just one door. It lead me to the vanilla level that was all in dark and the textbox said: Objective, get star. So I did. Then another one with timer. I have lost on it two of my remainning lives and then I have got the game over screen. Then, I was again in good-old beta lobby.

It was enough for me for that night.

I was never so frightened by a game or horror movie.
I watched obsession and I kept laughing. Similarly with backrooms, but the end got me speachless.
It was wild experience. Right now i think i have 35 stars. I somewhat joke that I feel like that guy from backrooms, finnding place that "for the first time in his life, he feeels like he belongs in there".

I will try beating whole game, collectinng all stars and finding all secrets. I know there is more for me to explore and I know that I donnt knnow the main plotpoints, AND I DONT WANT TO KNOW YET, because I want to experience them by myself.

I dont knnow what else to add, Im open for ssome discussion without spoilers.
Ima go sleep
