SM64: Last Impact/Easter Eggs and References

SM64: Last Imapct has several Easter eggs, secrets, and references throughout the game.

Easter Eggs

File Select Enemies

If Mario has a game over, some characters will appear in the file select lobby to talk to Mario. These include:

• Bob-omb - "Don't mind me. I'm just the electrician."
• Boo (nearly invisible, near Peach) - "...you can see me? hm... okay. Just don't tell anyone."
• Chuckya - "I'm busy over here. If you want to be thrown around, you'll have to find someone else to do it."
• Goomba - "Did you game over again? Bwahaha, some of us Goombas are fierce!"

This easter egg no longer exists in the most recent update due to game overs being removed.

Too Many Game Overs

If the player walks up to a door in the file select, it will give information, including the amount of game overs. If the player experiences a lot, it will just say "Game Overs: Too many"

This easter egg no longer exists in the most recent update due to game overs being removed.

Star Select Messages

If Mario waits on the star select screen for several minutes, messages will appear, including:

• Is this choice that hard
• Can you choose today
• Are you still there

Tree Carving

• Typing 5318008 (BOOBIES backwards) will make a Boo laugh sound.
• On the giant notebook, there is a list adding up several different numbers. These numbers are the total number of coins in each level of Super Mario 64, and it adds up to 2672. Typing 2672 in the calculator will cause one coin to appear.

Boo in Window

The boo hidden in the alcove

In Dusky Doomed Dale, there is a hidden boo looking out of a window inside one of the houses. It can be reached with a wall jump just underneath the window. The boo says he wants to scare the Toads.

Sunhat Painting

The sunhat painting

In Dusky Doomed Dale, there is a hidden painting of a sunhat and blue heart at the very top top of the inside of the church. It is reachable with a precise triple jump and wall kick off the high wooden plank.

Caged Monty Mole

In Dusky Doomed Dale, there is a Monty Mole trying to burrow out of its prison cage. It is possible, albeit very difficult to reach by performing a BLJ inside of the mirror cave and navigating it all the way to the mole's prison cell. The mole congratulates Mario on his BLJ.

Frozen Shy Guy

The Shy Guy captain

In Melty Molten Mountains, one of the frozen ponds at the top of the ice section has a small shy guy captain frozen inside of it.

Hidden Diary

The diary

In Sky-High Islands, there is a hidden diary on top of the cage containing star 6, reachable with precise jumps. The diary reads "...Day 5,110...captivity...micro...think there will never be a sequel... ...huge disappointment...I wish we could go back to nin...".

The Green Gate

Behind the green gate

In Above the Clouds 3, climbing to the top of the tall pillar will reveal a sign that says "The button combination to open the green gate is ALBZBALZ". If Mario goes to the green gate in Abandoned Outpost and presses those buttons in that order, the gate will open. Inside it is Gobi the Camel from Banjo-Kazooie. He says he is hiding from "that stalking bear and his bird friend", referring to Banjo and Kazooie.

Cat Ears

Mario wearing cat ears

It is possible to jump on top of the Gamble Game Gallery building with a precise triple jump and wall kick. Once on top, there is a Toad that asks Mario if he likes cat ears. Responding "yes" will give mario cat ears on top of his hat.

Cut Out Content

Main article: Cut Out Content

On the moon, there is a secret level accessible through an invisible pipe behind Gamble Game Gallery. The pipe is behind a wall, so Mario must clip out of bounds to reach it. There are a few ways to do this:

• Climbing on top of the Colossal Circuits building and performing a BLJ against an invisible ceiling
• Performing a wall jump off of a pillar near the the Colossal Circuits entrance building and diving into the side of the big beast, which Mario will sometimes clip through
• Performing a BLJ against the inside of the big beast's mouth

The level itself consists of a cave where Mario must climb up faster than the rising lava.

Ride Peach

In the final boss fight against Rashay, it is possible to perform a BLJ on the edge of the arena to escape and then perform another one to clip back in and enter the cage holding Peach. Jumping on top of Peach will cause Mario to ride her like a Yoshi, including Yoshi's text. Extending "Yoshi's" tongue will cause several models of platforms to appear instead of a tongue.

Kaze himself confirmed this was originally just a glitch and was a result of lazy programming, although he included it in his Easter egg video and considers it as one.
