Super mario 64 Conspiracy theories are alive and well in 2020, thanks in large part to the revitalization of the “Iceberg,” a viral image that picks up all the myths of the iconic platform game. A tall story, for example, swears that each copy of Super mario 64 It is customized for the user. But perhaps the most popular long-standing conspiracy theory belongs to Luigi, the unfortunate brother Mario.
You’ve probably heard it before, summed up as “L is real”. In short, players want to believe that Luigi is hiding somewhere in Super mario 64 despite not being really playable. Years later, in the Nintendo DS port of Super mario 64Luigi became a character in the platform game. But still, fans have largely focused on the original version of the game, where, perhaps, mysteries still abound.
Well, in 2020, it seems like everyone who resisted this seemingly dead myth turned out to be Right. The recent Nintendo Gigaleak, which contains classic game development repositories, has Super mario 64 files no one has ever seen before. And inside is a group of files related to the green plumber. L was real the whole time, and the Internet is losing its mind in response.
Also, video game players are using the files contained in Gigaleak to try to recreate Luigi, as he would have appeared if Nintendo had fully implemented the character. I’ve been following, and seeing people try and Luigi frankenstein in-game in real time has been a bewildering experience. The first attempts seemed like an experiment that went wrong.
Finally, the fans succeeded in their endeavor. The final result, although historical, is not so interesting to see, because it looks exactly the way you would expect. But still, fans are having fun with the model they’ve started and rebuilt from the Gigaleak.
More importantly, the memes, fan art, and reactions to this news from Luigi have been incredible. Everyone seems delighted to be able to say “L is real” and to be right. Luigi’s year, it seems, never ends. Here are some of our favorite social media responses to Luigi at Super mario 64.
technical advice today !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now that Luigi has been found, it’s only a matter of time until Luigi finds you.

so you’re telling me that Luigi being in Mario 64 was finally solved 24 years and 1 month after the release of Mario 64, when the whole Luigi myth in Mario 64 was linked to those EXACT NUMBERS (2401), and if you add those numbers you get 2 + 4 + 0 + 1 = 7 (July) and 24 + 01 = 25, today’s date ??? pic.twitter.com/uvu9uhnhs3
