"Rare VHS Tape Unveils Long-Lost Luigi Footage in Super Mario 64"

Rare VHS footage from Nintendo's 1995 Japanese Space World show appears to show off-screen gameplay of both Mario and Luigi in an early version of Super Mario 64, potentially revealing the first documented time Luigi was seen in the classic N64 game. Luigi was originally intended to be a second playable character in the launch game but was removed due to memory issues. The discovery of this footage adds to the ongoing fascination with the development history of Super Mario 64 and the inclusion of Luigi.
