slow_mario

So when I was a kid I turned on Super Mario 64 and Mario was SLOW. When you turn on that game he greets you with “it's a me, Mario!” but it was low pitched and slowed down! The nightmare that was Slow Mario must have a one in a trillion chance of happening because it never happened again and it never happened to anyone else I have ever met. The only time I ever heard anyone mention it was someone in the SM64 speedrunning community talk about it during a race and that was one person in a community of people who play the beginning of that game 100 times a day and have apparently never experienced it.

I was so scared I turned the game off and ran out of the room. I turned the game back on and it was normal again. It never happened again. I believe the Nintendo 64 had 64 bits, which means it can produce numbers up to 2^64. It was a completely random occurance, right? So if that is the case, then according to completely made up bullshit, there is a 1 in 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 chance of it happening.
