    🔴IMPORTANT UPDATE 🔴- So it turns out things in this video aren&apos;t 100% accurate. Since this video has come out new information has come into play (for me at least) thanks to the M64 modding community. Check it out here: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQYuII5PhY0">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQYuII5PhY0</a><br>----<br><br>Original pinned comment:<br><br>Gonna add a quick note about The Cutting Room Floor excerpt. So the excerpt is commenting on what stars used to be back in the day. 2D sprites essentially. However, what wasn&apos;t mentioned was that this sprite is now the same model as a normal power star. I think that&apos;s incredibly important to document because it shows it was updated, or at least all assets tied to those old stars were universally updated to reflect modern stars. I think if this was mentioned or documented in the past, a lot more people would have raised an eyebrow. Context is really everything.<br><br>Also, got any ideas for getting this? Someone hiding ACE mechanics up their sleeve? I&apos;m curious to hear your thoughts!

    Would this star be called: <br><br>“Deep Dive off the Icy Slide”<br><br>if it was collectable?

    I have actually collected the 121st star and found out that you unlock Luigi by doing so. Trust me guys, I’m on the internet.

    The fact that this game is almost 25 years old and people are still finding new things and coming up with new goals for it amazes me. This game truly never dies.

    Theory: &nbsp;Luigi is hiding inside the 3-star door at the bottom of the slide pit.

    Arbitrary code execution to enable the star then collect it, sounds like a TASBOT job for me, new category 121 star would be awesome

    Tip: wiki pages store their own history, you don&apos;t need to use the way back machine and also it will go back past the landing page

    The hardest part: convincing the community that there is 121 stars

    &quot;So is there a 121st star?&quot;<br>Well, yes. But technically no.

    When you said “2D stars,” my first thought was the beta star sprite.

Aegis plays a clean stream instead of YouTube's player, so pre-roll ads, trackers, and fingerprinting never ride along. Drop Shields any time if you want the official player back.
