Textures in the Alias Texture Library found bundled with Alias 3 are used for Super Mario 64's promotional images and appear in the beta version. Alias software also came with procedural textures that are used as well.

Alias software came with these procedural textures that are used in a large amount of early 3D media. Nintendo used these for both in-game uses and promotional renders with Super Mario 64. You can still access these same exact procedurals to this day inside Maya and other Alias/Autodesk products. Blender can achieve similar looks with its own set of procedurals but they are not exactly the same. I will try to document how to use both Maya and Blender's procedurals for these textures on this page.

Maya (?)	Blender (Clouds)

Clouds in Blender create the smudgy detail on the walls. This is shared with the Bronze Balls surrounding the arena.

Clouds in Blender set as a Normal Map with a Color Ramp will create the holes/marks on the walls. This is shared with the Bronze Balls surrounding the arena.

Maya (?)	Blender 2.8 (?)	Blender 2.7 (Blender Render) Mirror Reflections Material Setting

Although this is not a procedural texture, I felt like it was worth noting this same exact effect can be replicated in Blender 2.79 using the Blender Render. Simply check on the Mirror setting in the material panel and it will work the same.

In Blender 2.8 setting the Metallic slider to 1.000 in a Principled BSDF material will create a reflective look similar to this render but it will not recreate the same lighting. Both Eevee and Cycles lack the ability to produce the same lighting as early 3D programs did and need proper node set-ups to achieve similar results. Blender Render found in Blender 2.79 and below will recreate the look exactly the same.

See the How to Achieve 90s Render look in Blender 2.8 page which details a node set-up to get similar results as Blender 2.79 Blender Render lighting inside Blender 2.8.

Maya should have the ability to recreate this but the right settings need to be documented.
