Rare Japanese TV footage has emerged of Luigi in Super Mario 64, showcasing the character running around a test area in an N64 demo screen. While Luigi was originally planned to be a playable character in the game but was removed due to memory issues, Nintendo EAD had plans to introduce him in the 64DD version of the title. However, the 64DD version was never released, and fans had to wait until the launch of Super Mario 64 DS in 2004 to play as Luigi.
