Anomaly Description
The Bowser Room is an unused room found in Super Mario 64 that would have been an Easter egg designed by Shigeru Miyamoto. It would have been found through several seemingly unrelated actions that would lead to a final Bowser boss battle in a grey, tiled room for a secret ending.

Due to Project QARC, it became impossible to consistently document how to access the Bowser Room as it was changed in almost every copy. Despite Shigeru Miyamoto claiming it to be his "favorite room", he decided to scrap it due to incompatibility with the game.

However, Project QARC has been known to bring back the Bowser Room, though often shifting the use of the room. Some reports state it has nothing of purpose in it, others say a Bowser boss fight, and others say it contains a red coin star. Notably, the Bowser Room would have been brought back in Super Mario 64 DS for a final boss fight with Bowser using all 4 characters, though this was also scrapped. Notably, some reports claim that the Bowser Room can appear in Super Mario 64 DS, though these are likely playground rumors as Project QARC is not in retail copies of Super Mario 64 DS.

A supposed entity called the "Resident of the Bowser Room" has been reported to appear in the Bowser Room, though it's nature is inconsistent. Some say it is a strange decoration, others say it is an enemy, or others say it is a boss fight. However, this anomaly has been unconfirmed.
