10 Insane Gaming Facts That Will Blow Your Mind
10. L Is Real 2401 Super Mario 64
I would love to admit that were starting off with the most bizarre selection here but were not. Nevertheless, this is a secret that has fascinated gamers ever since the release of Super Mario 64.
Youre probably wondering just what the heck L is real 2401 means but all any gamer can say for certain is that the hint of gibberish is transcribed on a stone statue placed around the castle courtyard. The common consensus was that Luigi was secretly locked into the game as a playable character, hence the derivation of L is real 2401 In addition, 2401 also totaled the amount of collectable coins in the game leading to gamers gullibly falling under the impression that it was the key factor.
Obviously it wasnt though, and as time went on IGN started offering $100 bounties to anyone that could prove Luigis fabled existence. Nintendo eventually went on record stating that Luigi was not present in the game in any fashion whatsoever. Thats one case solved, but it still doesnt shed any light on the mysterious scripture.
Nowadays some gamers believe that the message was a 5 year hint towards Luigis presence in Super Paper Mario which was eerily released in some areas on February 4th 2001, effectively rendering everything one shocking anagram that Nintendo milked for 5 years.
