Kay, so it might have looked like that, but what if you had a program that could sharpen the image, what would it say?

Ugh, it's a freaking rumor to unlocking Luigi, which is impossible to do in the N64 Version. It's dead, and disproven.

There was a similar rumor to unlocking Waluigi in the DS version, but it met the same fate as the N64 Rumor.

the star statue in the court yard say or apparently says "L is real 2401" the L=Luigi, and the 2401 is the amount of total coins or something people thought if you get all the coins you unlock Luigi, it is of course false

Also, there's that same sign in Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Here's a link to show the two pictures are similar.

That sign reads,
"Giant dead Dodongo...
when it sees red,
a new way to go
will be open."

What does this mean? I don't know. But it's pretty interesting.

that means you drop bombs in the giant Dodongo skull, it eyes will turn red, it's mouth will open, allowing you to go deeper in to the temple

Someone once did a very detailed study on that and concluded it's "Toadstool 1981" with parts of it missing in a strange font.

it works.  I think he used Comic Sans MS and erased some parts to come close.

Based on the Ocarina/M64 comparison, it looks like it's just a plaque design that can be pasted into various 64 games for making level design easier. Text was probably intentionally made illegible/gibberish, knowing then they could slap whatever they want on it when the character reads it.

Like how Pokemon G/S borrowed sprites from R/B. I think.
