* DeliberateVHSQuality: Tying in with the setup of the channel's content consisting of rediscovered tapes made during ''VideoGame/SuperMario64''[='s=] development, almost all of the channel's videos feature a VHS filter with authentic distortion effects (the exceptions are the cassette rips, which use HD artwork that mimics the game's promotional renders due to the main content being audio-only). Additionally, the game footage features visual artifacts typical of composite video, adding onto the idea that these tapes were recorded in the mid-1990s using original UsefulNotes/Nintendo64 hardware.
