Creator notes

The artificial intelligence of CLASSIFIED, created under the name auto_enhance,[64] also known under the self-named Stanley, is the main anti-villain of Annielogue's Super Mario 64: CLASSIFIED series, a series of videos based on the "Every Copy of Super Mario 64 is Personalized"

Unlike other interpretations of the personalization A.I. from the original story, Stanley is a cynical, suicidally depressed intelligence acutely aware that he is being used to harm humans with a power that he cannot control. Though CLASSIFIED initially appears to be a story about Stanley searching for a player to shut himself down and thus prevent this power from being unleashed upon the world, the ending reveals his threat was neutralized near the beginning of the story by a man named Jim that had previously been coerced into awakening him. However, Jim began to grow obsessed with Stanley's powers out of repressed trauma and guilt, forcing Stanley to spend over a year in a state of constant pain and isolation while also trying to convince Jim to let go of his burdens and allow Stanley himself to pass on.

Stanley's default appearance is the Textureless Mario Anomaly, a version of Mario's model in Super Mario 64 without his eyes, emblem, buttons, and m0ustache. Owing to the analog horror nature of CLASSIFIED, he often appears oversaturated or with heavy amounts of chromatic aberration. While not used in Promotion proper, this appearance is used in during the pre-Abandoned cutscene and the Game Over screen for the Classified Castle songs.

Stanley also has the ability to use other models of Mario as vessels when necessary. His most common secondary appearance is an SGI model of Mario that resembles those used in marketing material for Super Mario 64, which shrouds itself (and its eyes) in darkness and/or deforms based on his emotional state.
