Programmer uses analysis software to decode blurry Super Mario 64 plaque text
A programmer known as Mochi64 ran computational analysis software through millions of word and font combinations to try to decipher the long-unreadable plaque in Super Mario 64's castle courtyard. The software's closest match suggests the plaque reads "Eternal Star" on top and "We hope so" on the bottom, according to Video Games Chronicle. Even modern rereleases of the game retain the same blurry, illegible plaque image.
