Headless Snowman: Difference between revisions

*Although the Headless Snowman is a minor character in his few appearances, he received some publicity in the form of a ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' joke published around the time of the main circulation of the [[List of rumors and urban legends about Mario#Luigi in Super Mario 64 .2F .22L is real 2401.22|"L is Real 2401" ''Super Mario 64'' rumors]]. In Volume 107 of ''Nintendo Power'', a "Luigi 64" article is present, where [[Nintendo]] states that [[Luigi]] fans had been campaigning to have the character in his very own game, and the company's response was to create a hoax upcoming game known as '''''Headless Snowman 64'''''. This game was apparently to be made to satisfy fans of the "second bananas" by featuring a cast of both well-known and obscure characters (that were not Luigi), from [[Samus Aran]] to "random audience members from ''{{wp|Super Punch-Out!!}}''" to the Headless Snowman himself. Additionally, the game would supposedly contain some non-Nintendo characters such as "one of the civilian women in ''{{wp|GoldenEye 007 (1997 video game)|GoldenEye 007}}''" (in the mistaken belief that her name is Luigi), "that bald guy from ''{{wp|Blast Corps}}''," and "the bikini woman in ''{{wp|Cruis'n USA}}''." Humorously, this never-made game was not going to feature Luigi.
