Vanilla Lobby

Vanilla Lobby is an area in B3313.

Description[]

The area is mostly unchanged from the vanilla Super Mario 64's First Floor, aside from some "minor" details. Namely, and all the doors leading to paintings or levels are labeled with a generic white number instead of a numbered star, the stairs are missing, and a few paintings and textures have altered their appearance. In fact, this area is meant to be closer to the original game's pre-E3 1996 builds, and not the final ones.

The stained-glass window of Princess Peach above the entrance has a wide but small hidden gap that cuts through the middle of the window. It can be reached using a wing cap box hidden behind the left Peach-stained glass window in the room leading to Big Boo’s Haunted Forest. The gap can also be reached with wall kicks. The room is a hallway with a faceless Toad and doors to Polygonal Chaos.

During the nighttime, most entrances to the Vanilla Lobby will bring the player to the altered Nighttime Vanilla Lobby variant instead.

Origins[]

The area is taken from the vanilla Super Mario 64 First Floor (or main lobby), and modified. The music is unmodified, being the track Inside the Castle Walls.

In v0.9, a texture got changed, the stairs at the center of the lobby were removed, and paintings were changed to make the area more closely resemble the E3 beta build of Super Mario 64, but with the passageway to Parallel Lobby and the Polygonal Chaos hall were added too. As of v1.0, the Vanilla Courtyard is now in the same area as the lobby, although leaving the courtyard warps to Nightmare Basement.

Stars[]

This area has 1 star to collect:

• (v0.9 and later) Speak to the Toad in the passageway to Polygonal Chaos behind the large Peach window in the main room.
