Why isn't Luigi in Mario 64?

Luigi isn't in the original Super Mario 64 primarily due to Nintendo 64 memory limitations, which couldn't handle a second character for split-screen co-op or even as an NPC, forcing developers to cut him late in development around February 1996, despite earlier plans for him in a Mario Bros. mini-game, which was also dropped because most N64s came with only one controller.

While hackers have added playable Luigi to N64 ROMs using leaked assets, it's not officially part of the game, and the N64 version has no legitimate way to unlock him, despite rumors about a statue inscription.
