The endless stairs clip from Super Mario 64 is copyrighted and is used under fair use for the following reasons:

-There is not adequate alternative known that really shows a musical shepard tone effect.

-The sample is used for educational purposes.

-The sample is relatively short and the clip is only long enough to clearly show the effect.
