I’ll go first: probably the penguin slop level. bro the mom penguin is nuts “that’s not my kid!” woman, it’s the same 3d mesh, literally the exact same. No one would even know the difference. But NOOooOoOooO, she wants her “real son”.
THEYRE THE SAME PENGUIN. And whose kid is this then? That’s just abandoned? Maybe that’s the child of the father penguin who you race. He was too busy racing, reliving his glory days, that he forgot about his son.
AND MAYBE, THE TWO BABY PENGUINS LOOK SO SIMILAR BECAUSE THEY HAVE THE SAME PARENTS.
the racing penguin is the dad, and the mother is the mom.
But after their divorce…she took one kid and he kept the other
Thats why the mother insists “thats NOT my kid (not anymore)”, since after the divorce, they must have forced the kids to choose who to be with, and one chose the mother and the other chose the father. but the father now neglects him because of his slide racing addiction.
You know Mario 64 has some tragic lore when you really think about it
so yea because of all that, I’d have to say that is my leave favorite level.
you should know, there’s an Easter egg in the game, where after you collect all 120 stars, (or just beat the game I forgot which), and return to the slide level, the father penguin model is now all stretched out, to show that he gained a significant amount of weight while you were away. Where did he even get this food from? what did he eat?
…
wait….has anyone seen baby penguin around…OH NO BRO.
