Mirrored Upstairs is an area in B3313.
Description[]
The area is similar in design to Vanilla Upstairs, and even shares the same area ID, but the layout is mirrored, and the paintings are reversed in direction. The night sky painting is now red, and a beta Bob-omb Battlefield painting hangs on what is a blank wall in the original game. The walls of the upper level also have the same red tint, and the clock's face is reversed (although the hands still turn clockwise). It's impossible to enter in the clock through normal means.
The alcove which originally contains the warp to Wing Mario Over The Rainbow in the vanilla game is also grated, but the grate can be passed with the Vanish Cap located in the mirror room. As in the sister area, the warp that would have lead to Bowser in The Sky had the same fate, being unusable, but the Bowser painting is functional.
Origins[]
The area is taken directly from the vanilla Super Mario 64, albeit with some textures slightly altered in color, and also being mirrored to fit the “Mirrored Upstairs” theme. Equally to Vanilla Upstairs, some textures were replaced by their E3 counterparts. The music is maintained intact.
Stars[]
This area has 1 star to collect:
- A faceless Toad, standing in the same spot as the Toad in the vanilla game's upstairs will give you a star.
