Are the Toads ghosts? Mario 64 Mysteries 01 #mario64 #n64 #supermario64
As soon as you enter the castle, you realize that something is wrong. There is a transparent Toad right next to you. Is this Toad a ghost that haunts this castle? I guess we'll find out soon. When you talk to him, he tells you that the princess and everyone else are trapped inside the castle walls.
I also learned that I need to recover the Power Stars to open the doors that Bowser has sealed. The room with the painting of Bob-omb is the only one Bowser hasn't sealed, so I have to look for stars there first. When you finish talking to Toad, he becomes transparent again. So I guess I was just talking to his spirit, and his body must be stuck in a wall too. He must be a special Toad with telepathic powers.
When you think about it, being stuck in walls is a pretty nightmarish scenario. Did the people at Nintendo watch some gangster movies before making this game? If you dig deeper into the lore of Nintendo games, you'll often find such dark themes. For example, in the very first Super Mario Bros, everyone was turned into bricks. So maybe the bricks we destroyed throughout the game were actually people. So I guess people being stuck in walls in 64 is a throwback to people being turned into bricks in SMB 1. That's a pretty deep cut right there. Well, I hope this time around we won't have to break any walls.
