The sandy bank with the cannon is absent. The castle's towers are shown without flags. The middle tower is shorter, possibly so that it fits on the screen. The file select screen's prerender has several other inconsistencies of note. An editor on The Cutting Room Floor claims to have seen E3 2004 footage of a player character being fired from the box, suggesting that it contained another cannon. Other speculation claims that it is the preexisting cannon before being properly initialized, although it's questionable why it would appear to the right side of the map rather than the center this is also less likely when considering the E3 footage. It may have been an alcove in the outside of the castle, perhaps containing a rabbit or cannon, that was added and removed in development. Another scrapped element from this build is a floating island above the Castle Grounds. It seems like the file select image was not updated after its removal. Though some fans dismissed it as a texture glitch, the so-called "box" is also present in an early build of the game, then called Super Mario 64 × 4, that was used at E3 2004. A rumor emerged that the player could reveal and break this perceived box, leading to a fake sequence of events that would purportedly unlock Waluigi and remove the box from the file select screen image. In the image of Princess Peach's Castle on the file select screen, there is a dark gray "box" that doesn't appear in the in-game model of the Castle Grounds. The Castle Grounds model, as it appears during gameplay The prerender of the Castle Grounds, as used on the file select screen This was quickly debunked, as Waluigi does not appear on top of the castle after meeting these conditions. The rumor then claims that by defeating Bowser and reaching the top of Princess Peach's Castle (where Yoshi could be found in the original Super Mario 64), Waluigi could be found talking to him would unlock him. The player would need to collect every Power Star and unlock every minigame. One rumor claimed that Super Mario 64 DS would unlock Waluigi upon 100% completion. Fans have speculated that the purple rabbit would have been Wario's color, so as to match the color of his overalls. The placement of the Instruction Booklet image implies that it would have simply unlocked minigames like other rabbits. There is no such rabbit color in the final game, and it is not certain what the purple rabbit would have done or why it was replaced. Among the supporting Mario cast, he has a notable connection to purple, which is reflected in other rumors mentioning the color. With Yoshi's, Mario's, Luigi's, and Wario's rabbit colors accounted for, Waluigi seemed to be a candidate. This sparked or fueled an assumption that purple rabbits could be found in the retail game. One of the beta purple rabbits can be found on page 30 of the official Super Mario 64 DS Instruction Booklet. Some fans assumed that finding and catching this rabbit would give the player a key to Waluigi's door, unlocking him as a playable character. The screenshot of the purple rabbit in the Super Mario 64 DS Instruction Bookletīeta screenshots of Super Mario 64 DS show that a purple rabbit existed in early versions, but was removed for the final game. This could have diminished the number of players who unlocked the door, letting them continue to believe it could contain a secret character despite the notion being demonstrably false in-game. Glowing rabbits appear twice as often once 80 Power Stars are collected, so it may be some time before a player makes headway into the task. This door can only be unlocked after collecting 50 Power Stars and catching eight glowing rabbits, which grants its key. If it is reentered, Boos' laughs are heard, and the player's current character walks back out with no additional effect. In reality, the white-bordered door contains a secret Power Star. This speculation had symmetry, in that Luigi's and Waluigi's rooms would be farthest from the center. With Yoshi having no dedicated door, they likely took the represented characters as a pattern, and were led to fill Waluigi into the blank. Many players mistook this extra door as hinting at a secret character. It has a slightly off-white border instead of a colored one, and no character emblem. The player can switch back to Yoshi by reentering their current character's room. They are themed after Mario, Luigi, and Wario. In Super Mario 64 DS, the princess's room contains four switching rooms, three of which are used to change characters once their respective character has been unlocked. From left to right: Luigi, Mario, Wario, and conspicuously blank. The switching rooms flank the doors to the Rec Room.
