Play it with your kids, you'll have a blast together.

Has anything ever surfaced regarding the cut courses/levels? I'm guessing that's a ROMhack in OP's image.

You can't go home again. What was lost cannot be found.

the problem is you sound like you were approaching it all along to re-capture something. it's something you can play to appreciate, play for satisfaction, play to pass the time, or whatever. but if you're playing to try and recapture something about your childhood, you're probably not going to nearly enjoy yourself because you put all of those other things in the backseat.

This is true. Realizing this helps me to look at gaming and music in a different light and enjoy them more.

Mario 64 wasn’t the only reason you were happy. If anything, you have fond memories of Mario 64 cause you were happier back then.

Not really. The snow level on the ground floor of the castle was totally redesigned since Shoshinkai but besides that any glimpse at a level we aren't 100% sure is in the final game in some form is extremely brief. It isn't like OoT where we know of entire areas that didn't make the final game.
In all actuality there probably isn't much to really see in terms of cut levels in SM64, we know a good amount of development was spent simply on the controls and physics and it's very possible that all the concepts for levels that didn't make the final game didn't even get worked on in the game itself and they never left the concept stage after it was decided how many levels they could realistically do.
