Anomaly Description
Anomaly 84, also known as Cactus is an unused texture within the memory of Shifting Sand Land in Super Mario 64. It was likely intended to be used as a decorative object similar to flower fields within Bob-Omb Battlefield and Whomp's Fortress whilst utilizing the same billboard animation style that the Pokeys use, or used as a hazardous object which would cause the player to flinch and take damage, similar to being hit by a Goomba.

Cognitive Irrational Fear
Certain subjects, when exposed to Anomaly 84 display symptoms of Acute Stress Disorder and other mental illnesses, with a slim minority experiencing symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. All of these subjects share only one trait in common, which is insisting that Anomaly 84 did in-fact appear in the base game of Super Mario 64 and Anomaly 84 served a much larger purpose than decoration or as a basic hazard.

Further Description
Despite being unused in the base game, no beta build contains any data of this cactus existing.
