It's no big secret what lies behind the door. It leads into the house where the big slide that Mario ends up on sliding race with a penguinHowever, the door is a one-way street. Once the plumber has left the house, there is no way back. A nice detail: there is no doorknob, so you know straight away that you can't go any further.
YouTuber pannenkoek2021 now explains that the door can theoretically still lead inside. However, Nintendo has one invisible wall placed directly in front of the door, so Mario can't touch them. Another Mario expert by the name of Alexpalix1 has now managed to open the door without any hacks. All he had to do was upset Mama Penguin right outside the door by stealing her baby. The angry mother goes on the attack and pushes Mario through the invisible wall straight to the door.

According to pannenkoek2021, Alexpalix1 only came up with the idea for the trick after watching his previous video invisible walls in Super Mario 64 had studied, which is almost four hours long (source: pannenkoek2021).
