In the English-language version of Super Mario 64 DS, a Toad holding a secret Power Star gives a hint that the mirror room contains an "ally with info", referring to how one can pick up an invisible Power Flower to access a Wario painting in the reflection of a Luigi painting. This hint has perplexed many players as to the identity of the "ally with info", with the leading theories being either that the Power Flower is the ally or Wario is the ally. The original Japanese-language text doesn't exactly give a concrete answer, with the Toad simply saying that he saw an invisible person inside the mirror, which is also a mysterious statement, but a contextually appropriate one as opposed to interfering with the hint. However, the European localizations show the real intent behind the English version through extra information not provided in English, that the ally will give a hint by not being reflected, meaning that the ally's identity is actually Luigi. The English version not only left out this crucial context, but also failed to disable the line after Wario is unlocked, something that was managed in other versions of the game.
