Super Mario 64 DS: Test Map

If anybody is wondering what the "le searching for Power" is, it's actually text string 0195, which is when you put on Wario's cap as another character for the first time (I think). It cuts off the first three letters, as it does for the rest of the level names (the full word is "While"). They all either have a number with 1 or 2 spaces at start of their strings, or just 3 spaces. It also happens to be above Bob-omb Battlefield's level name string as well. The "ing file..." on the pause screen is text string 0295 (Saving file...). Like before, the first 3 letters are cut off.

Wow, this feels like one of those dreams!

3:29 " 水 " (Blue Tile) means " Water " 2:02 " 砂 " (Yellowish Grey Tile) means " Sand " 2:18 " 花 " (Yellow tile) means " Flower " 2:18 " 雪 " (White tile) means " Snow " 2:18 " 土 " (Deep Brown Tile) means " Dirt " 2:19 " 木 " (Light Brown Tile) means " Wood " 2:19 " 冰 " (Light Blue Tile) means " Ice " 2:15 " 草" (which is written in upside down) (Green Tile) means " Grass " 2:14 " 無 (which is written in upside down) (Purple Tile) means " Nothing " Edit: 10 July 2020 2:16 岩 (which is written in sideway) (Grey Tile) means "Rock"

"le searching for power" YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME XDDDD

I remembered seeing this level back in the days on YouTube with some typical old school YouTube metal song in the background! XD Maaaan.... You don't wanna know how long I was looking for this level! I couldn't find it! XD Now, many many many years later.... I see this video and I almost forgot about it! Did I know back then that this was a test level! XD Nice video and thanks for the nostalgia!

0:03 "le searching for Power" This is a mistake. It is mapped to the text that shows up whenever Yoshi grabs a Mario Cap for the first time: "While searching for the Power Stars, you found a red cap. Put it on and voila! You suddenly look just like Mario!" Since the developers weren't caring so much about the text in the TEST room, when they wrote the text for the game, the data for the name of the room changed to the text already in the game. In this case, text that happens only once.

What if when you die instead of going to heaven or hell you live in the test map of Mario 64 ds for all eternity

I just went on this level on iNDS (iOS Nintendo ds emulator) from the cheats menu that came with the rom I installed on it. It’s pretty interesting. Also went on test room 1 with it too

These feel incredibly liminal

I remember using Action Replay DS to access this area

now this is what I call The Yoshi Funhouse

it's probably sad that this test level is only available as yoshi
