==Origin== ''Super Mario 64'' was originally going to be a 2-player game, with Mario and Luigi as playable characters. Unfortunately, the system's capabilities at the time prevented that from happening, and Luigi was taken out of the game. Luigi did, however, finally make his Nintendo 64 debut in ''Mario Kart 64''. In ''Super Mario 64'''s Castle Courtyard, there is a statue in the heart of the courtyard. The statue depicts a giant star with a blurry inscription beneath it. Although it is hard to read, the text on the inscription can be interpreted as either 'Eternal Star' or 'L is real 2401', depending on the player's viewing angle. While 'Eternal Star' made much more sense considering the star directly above the inscription, people quickly latched onto the 'L is real' idea. People thought that L stood for Luigi, and therefore Luigi would have been in the game. One theory was that 2401 represented every gold coin in each world of the game and that by collecting them all, the player would have to come back to the statue where Luigi would then emerge as a playable character.Β
