Super Mario 64 is iconic for its groundbreaking 3D platforming. Beyond collecting stars and Bowser battles, the game hides secrets waiting to be discovered. One such secret involves a quirky glitch that transforms Mario’s head into a spinning ball. Players can trigger this bizarre transformation by mastering a specific combination of moves.
Repeatedly pulling forward on the analog stick while performing a ground pound imbues Mario with a comical effect. His head detaches from his body, spinning rapidly like a basketball until he resumes his normal form. This unintended animation is a testament to the game’s intricate mechanics and the creativity of its players.
