In Mario 64, before the start button screen shows, you have some kind of mini-game where you could strech marios face in many ways.

Did that mini game do anything? Had any effect on the main game? Or was it just for show/fun?

I think I've heard somewhere that some stretch patterns would be cheatcodes, but couldn't find confirmation anywhere.
