Top: in Super Mario 64, Metal Mario’s reflection texture is blue, pink and black, appearing to reflect an indeterminate outdoor scene.

Bottom left: the texture extracted from the game’s files. The resolution is too low to make out the details of the scene.

Bottom right: recently, 25 years after the game’s release, the original texture used by Nintendo during development was found. Now the reflection is revealed to be a scene of flowers in a yard next to a house.
