===== NOTES =====
Happy holidays everybody!! The Christmas event has arrived: It's Yule Toad! For 12 days a new track will be uploaded! Half of the tracks this event are viewer-suggestions, too, or at least heavily based on them.

The twelfth and final song is one of my own picks. I've had this idea on the backburner for a while, as something I'd do eventually but wasn't sure when I'd really get around to it. I figured, with it being some of my best-received work, however, I'd give you all what you'd been looking for.

L is real.

SM64RUNE (working title) is a Deltarune AU based solely around characters (intended to have been) featured in Super Mario 64 for the Nintendo 64, where after the events of Super Mario 64, an unlikely trio of heroes sets off to save the world.

It seemed for a while that everything had returned to normal. Paintings became nothing more than just that, and Bowser's reign of terror was over, at least until he'd figured out a new way to kidnap the Princess. But peace was not eternal. Everyone knew that. But they never expected peace to be taken away by someone new... With both heroes and villains missing, it's up to the henchmen of both good and evil to band together and stop this unknown threat, and to save the world from the chaos that unfolds.

Luigi originally replaced Deltarune Chapter 3's secret boss, Mike. This choice was made on a whim before Deltarune Chapter 3 and 4's release, I didn't believe Mike would actually turn out to be Chapter 3's secret boss. Now that this has released, I can at least say that Luigi and Mike have their rather tentative canonicity in common here!

Whether or not he retains this role, we'll see. Whatever we do, it won't really affect our plans for him here.
