Nothing beats sitting in my bed at 3 AM eating chicken strips watching Mario get murdered by the Ultra 64.

Okay now this is quality, we went from custom music and stages to voice actors and animations, hyped to see what's next

ain’t it weird how this video mentions how eric doesn’t like water, and the thumbnail from two videos ago has mario surrounded by water, and there was that drowning animation a while back? i think we gotta keep an eye on the water in this series

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="6">0:06</a> Oh these are pretty cool bananas

10/10

Well, I know EXACTLY why 3D All-Stars is a limited release now Mario got crushed by an N64, his funeral is on March 2021

Please help me I've been under this Nintendo Ultra 64 for months I can't feel any of my limbs

When the music stopped at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="208">3:28</a> I had a flashback towards Company PSA from Squimpus McGrimpus, and was expecting the narrator to say something like "Luigi does not exist in SM64"

I really like the detail of how the people speaking in this video all have British accents, which makes sense as when it came for anyone non-Japanese to work on Super Mario 64, they were most likely British.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="55">0:55</a> explicit hot footage of mario rubbing his hard plastic

Oh dear, it can call the playetesters by their names. Wait, hold up.

Stop playtesting immediately if: -The playtester starts feeling strange -The game crashes -The game lags for no reason (the sub in Dire Dire Docks does not count as no reason) -The music stops -The tester's name is shown -Wario appears and starts threatening the playtester.

Everything seemed normal till the talked about stopping when the game knows your name...

it just occurred to me that this is a cursed universe because instead of the Japanese, Mario 64 is being developed by British people. Terrifying

im glad we have channels like this to still prove the ARG genre is still alive and thriving

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="287">4:47</a> they are probably talking about the developer animation showcase that was posted here a few months ago i edited the timestamp because Dan mentions a "kid from animation"... this is creepy

And then mario looked at the camera with hyper realistic skin and bleeding eyes and said "killa youra familia in reala life, bye bye".

"...If the playtester has this question, tell them 'Wario does not exist' 'Luigi was never planned to be in the game' 'The game cannot be personalized' 'Wario does not exist' 'Wario does not exist' 'Wario does not exi-"

The lore of this ARG is like oatmeal, The longer it goes on, the more it *THICKENS*

I really like the callback to Developer Crash Handler at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="180">3:00</a>

POV: You are watching Adult swim commercial at 2-3 am and can’t find the remote

"or the game displays the playtesters name" Excuse me *what?* Edit: like how some people took the joke seriously and tried to give explanations about why it does that lmao

That was all one take, darn. Anyway things of note: He mentions that if playtesters feel deja vu, among other things, to stop the playtesting. As I'll mention later here, with something called game-sync, maybe the game starts doing that personalization thing, and deja vu could be a result of that. It's likely not meant to be turned on during playtesting. Another commenter (Jeroen Both) points out he also mentions the game displaying the playtesters name, another thing which ties into that. He mentions Dan, and says to only tell Dan, no one else, if things happen to the playtesters, as you could face legal trouble. Now, to be fair, this makes some sense, as someone might think it was you who did it, or you did something to cause it, but at the same time, could it be legal trouble from Nintendo? After the normal tape finishes, we find another guy had snuck into the recording room (or really whatever room it was being recorded in.) We learn that the water not being in the moat was this other guy's fault, but the narrator says that Eric didn't have game-sync on. Hmmm, game-sync? He thought it was haunted not because the water was missing, but because it was missing when he didn't have game-sync on? So, this means game-sync can cause that to happen? Hmmm... This other guy also mentions how the animations weren't real. I think we all remember the description of the animation test video and the drowning animation... Well, it seems that was another joke pulled by this guy... Or maybe he's just trying to get out of possible trouble... Another commenter (RawChick) points out the dude also mentions 'that kid.' Who's that kid? After the narrator asks for the other guy to send Meg down to him if he passes her in the hall, she happens to walk in. She says she can't find Eric, possibly she was searching for him? She's called a know-it-all... A typical insult, or a sign she learned a tad more than she should've? The narrator also asks if she has a another moment, possibly in reference to Eric? She gets kinda annoyed at that. She also gets pretty pissed that this whole thing was being recorded on her camcorder without her permission... This whole ending segment happens during a power outage, probably normal, happens every now and then, but still a bit spooky I suppose. So, this video gives us a small new piece of information on game-sync, and introduces two new characters. The narrator seems to be well-intentioned, at least to me, being a tad upset with that other guy for pulling his trick on Eric. The other guy seems to be mischievous, pulling at least two tricks on Eric, but doesn't seem to be ill-intentioned, at least not yet. So that's my analysis of this video, probably my favorite yet!

OK, the fact that the games could do that creepy shit like displaying the testers name, thats fucking unsettling as he'll. How it could possibly even do that is beyond me.

''The animations weren't real'' ''What's that supposed to mean'' ''Did you use a Real person?'' ''What? no of course not'' I don't need sleep, *i need answers*

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="8">0:08</a> me when my teacher assigns too much homework

To those of you thinking "why dontm't nintendo just take thow these videos if they are real!>!>!>!>?/". It's because if they do, everyone will know it's real.

This channel went from a pretty real looking beta archive to a spooky vhs channel, ｎｉｃｅ I like to see where this channel goes

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="77">1:17</a> POV: YOUR A ULTRA 64 BUTTON BEING REMOVED AND CLEANED

Well, that solidifies it. This is officially the FNAF VHS of Mario 64.

“It wasn’t him or that kid in the animations.” *HMMMMMMM*

Ahh yes, a classic situation. Looks normal at first but then it goes insane. This is what horror is REALLY about.

Plot Twist: This is actually a nintendo tape

ngl I appreciate how there isn't heavy distortion and warping like people usually do when making a video from a fake vhs tape. also, singular they? in 1995? it's more likely than we think (lol) but Nintendo doesn't seem like the sort of company who would do that back (or even now, except they do now so)

hey, it's the same guy from the scrapped advertisement

Man, I'm consistently impressed with how real these feel. Like, they obviously aren't, but if I lived in a world with the Nintendo Ultra 64, I'd absolutely believe this was an internal employee video

You can tell they really studied Nintendo's designs for stuff like this. I swear those stock people on the thumbnail and a bit before half the way into the video, those people look like something Nintendo would have in a tape like this.

love how mario literally dies at the start

And then there's Mario-- <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="7">0:07</a> He's dead.

Meg voice reveal!!! Let's goooo

“Adjust the brightness of the TV to their liking!” I really like that line for some reason

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="7">0:07</a> And That Is Why Paper Mario When Was Born.

They went the Squimpus route. Neat. *cRimInaL cRimInaL cRimInaL* Also Replies, make a *cRimInaL* Line. I want to see that.

1. I love the art and general style in this! They really nailed the Nintendo brand here! Plus, mario getting crushed with an N64 made me laugh lol. 2. “Send meg up to me.” “If I see _them_ on the way to the breaker, sure, whatever.” either it’s written weirdly and he was actually talking about meg plus someone else, or... Meg uses they/them instead of/along with she/her now...? I know that this is from the 90s so it’s not likely, but... this *is* an ARG, so maybe it’s a world where nonbinary people were already accepted back then.

Immediately stop the playtesting session if: The playtester has a fucking seizure and dies.

Why does Nintendo Engineered Button Removal Tool sound real

This is quite sad the project was canceled

MEG AND ERIC MEG AND ERIC OMFG BROOO

Yo Meg, watch it with the language.

oh we're going full squimpus now

Those employees deserve to be fired, they left Luigi in the game files

This is genuinely really good and I love this THIS is some quality content

this video just blows the whole credibility out of the water, this is just more of that meme shit people started doing with mario 64 this year.

You guys making good content, and it's not creepy, you deserve a new subscriber!

Mario getting crushed by the ultra 64 is legit funny

I love watching this plot develop, keep up the good work

Wait, they've all got British accents... holy shit are they from Argonaut?

I like how this was uploaded for me on 3 AM

Alright, now I know why it took so long between videos, this is absolutely incredible, keep it up!

If the game becomes Sentient and tries to kill the play tester, via the form of one of the characters heads popping out of the TV, please exit the room immediately and take the playtester to a "safe place" far away from our headquarters incase anything "bad" happens.

This is an amazing project, but one thing that always bugs me is using mario's beta voice clips. They're from a stock sound library, and charles was already chosen by that point, so I doubt his beta voice would've actually been used in secondary media. Again, a minor nitpick

So, this is telling us that Dan is an ass to Eric. _The plot thickens._

Holy crap I was waiting for a new video and I'm so happy

the end part was creepy

can we get a f in the chat for mario

Okay, brb, I GOTTA make that mario getting crushed a meme. Edit: ITS DONE

4 am gang

I'm glad this channel exists so it's even harder to find real material. It's reaaallly great.

Meg voice reveal

This is actually really amazing quality, thank you for reducing my boredom Also everyone is talking about the water and Eric but ia nobody going to mention that in Snow Ravine Eric literally called Dan cute

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="6">0:06</a> -- Me right now vs 2020.

I almost was convinced that this is an actual employee tape, well played!

Juging from the end of the tape Eric is a comedic genius

i love this stuff so much

The two people in <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="124">2:04</a> I think represent Meg and Eric. Meg has the curly hair from the Wing Cap Tower GUI video, Eric must be the one on the right. Plus, Dan Newman at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="206">3:26</a> must be the Dan mentioned in Snow Ravine.

mario getting crushed by an n64 is probably the best thing i've seen all day

The style of the drawing reminds me of petscop. And the voice of the narador sounds to me to have heard it very similar in petscope. And the animation reminds me of the vhs tapes they made about fnaf.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="354">5:54</a> Damn meg... no need to be so harsh on the narrator.

The quality is amazing! ❤️❤️

This is really interesting, it just seems so real but at the same feels a little unnerving in a weirdly good way.

i have a feeling something bad is gonna happen to either eric or meg

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="310">5:10</a> Haha I love the inspector calls reference!

this edits are amazing

Just discovered this going to binge it all

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="6">0:06</a> Easily the best part... if you're into the lore though, it's all the best part.

Hate to say, but the dialogue isn't great. The script doesn't sound natural, and the delivery is a bit robotic. (The monologue during the instruction tape is fine tho)

This was done really well! Bravo!

The art in this video is so good

Cartoon Meg and eric looks EPIC. I fell like i wanna be their friend lol

can i just say that the girl in the bowtie (probably meg) is the cutest thing I've ever seen. especially at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="169">2:49</a> ;3

Yoooo this shit is awesome! Keep up the great work, definitely looking forward to more!

this artstyle is so adorable...

Oh you like the 1995 build?, name everything in the iceberg

The Mario Archives is a Webserie distributed by Meg & Eric it is licenced uner a creative commons non attribution sharealike L15R341 international licence todays epidode was written and performed by

"if they are hard to clean , make sure to use effort" i love this so much

First, clean the console. Next, befriend the playtester.

Was the Ultra 64 a game console or a kind control device? At this point I’m really leaning on the latter. This is becoming a lot more than just Mario 64. I hope the best for you, Meg and Eric.

Right on the tick of spoopyween for me everyone!

Seeing that animation was my last straw....... I had to subscribe to you because this is amazing!!!!!!!!!!

I like how when you see yhe start of the channel everthing sees very peacefull and calm but when more.But when you start to see the videos getting more creep and creepier every video.(Im sorry for my bad english)
