No it is not smudged writing. You are missing the point when I tell you that CLEANED UP GRAPHICS WERE FOUND.
Like, IN THE ROM.
They are all over the internet, it says "Eternal Star", which also appears as a game board in Mario Party, and also a song title in a few Mario games.
Just because it is smudged in game does not mean it is in the ROM, that's just how it is rendered. |

Does it matter... It's pointless writing that means nothing to the game... Can we just leave it alone now... This is the most n00bish conversation that's been fought over eber since the game was released...

I wouldn't be so sure, just by that logic...
I mean, what about DDR Extreme for the PS2's "Burger King" code that nobody figured out?

Yeah, upon loking at it closely, it does (almost) look like "eternal star"....

|  Time: Now - Date: Today - Weather: What can be seen outside. - Mood: How it feels. Answer to the universe: 42 | Oh crap I forgot to remove that "L is Real 2041" object label...
I first named this object because it was found where that "mysterious" sign was in the castle courtyard, and I didn't know its use (its invisible, has no polygon model attached to it, only a behavior). But then I found that this object was found else where and was not specific to this area.
Personally, I don't think the sign reads either "L is Real 2041" nor "Eternal Star".
Here's the "cleaned up graphics" directly extracted from the ROM, and they don't prove anything...
If anything, it shows how silly it is to try to read anything into these "letters". For God's sake the letters are 3 or 4 pixels high!! It could be japanese and we wouldn't be able to tell!
Sonicandfails: About your "Eternal Star" picture with the red letters:
The top horizontal bar for the first "E" is almost nonexistent in the original graphic, it's part of the diagonal "shinny metal" pattern. The first "t" doesn't have an horizontal bar, except maybe in your head. You assume a lower-case "e" from about 3 pixels. The "r"... well I'll give you that one. Your "n" is just a squarish blob of pixels that doesn't look like a lower-case "n" at all. The "a" could be just about anything, and your "l" floats above the rest for some weird reason? Let's say that the "s" is possible... Your second "t" is too much of a stretch again, suddenly its horizontal bar is diagonal? The second "a" is well almost possible, but the last "r" is wishful thinking, like this whole thing is...
While the phrase "Eternal Star" fits well with the context, I don't think anyone can prove anything by reading into 3 pixel high letters, so let's stop debating about this.
ShaddowKatgirl:
I know enough about the structure and content of the SM64 ROM to say with 99.999999% certainty that Luigi is not there. The 8MB ROM is tightly packed and the Mario model already takes a lot of space. Nintendo would've needed to go out of their way to conceal a Luigi model and it's graphics and hide them in pieces trough the ROM using some kind of encryption just so that ROM hackers like me didn't find it? Wasting precious ROM space in the process?
DDR Extreme is a CD (or DVD?) game where space was not an issue, and where leaving unused easter eggs and stuff wasn't a concern. But anyway, hackers knew about the existence of that hidden song in the DDR Extreme disk well before BK released the code, they just didn't know how to unlock it.

Okay, so since this discussion is over, maybe you should just lock this thread, so no one gets into any more fights over this matter.
