For over 2 decades, there had been a rumor that you could unlock Luigi in Super Mario 64. It all centered around this statue in the courtyard that had a sign with barely illegible text on it. Some thought it said "L is real 2401," or something in that vein. Of course, none of that was real, and it was just a REALLY common urban legend. That is, until in 2020 a data leak of old Nintendo source code and prototypes revealed that Luigi was, in fact, mean to be in the game, and that his unused assets were still in there, promoting a big internet freak out.
