The Extent of Speed Conservation
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ก.ย. 2016
- Previously, I showed how we could use speed conservation to conserve speed from HMC to the castle, and ultimately use it to get to the Secret Aquarium 0x [ • SM64 - Go to The Secre... ]. Since then, I've received many comments from people wondering whether this technique could be used in other situations as well, primarily whether we could bring speed upstairs and save A presses entering TTC and RR. Unfortunately, such suggestions grossly overestimate the extent of where we can conserve speed. In reality, conserving speed between levels can only be done in a very limited set of situations, and so it's not nearly as useful as one might think. Consequently, I wanted to clear this up once and for all, as I explain the true extent of speed conservation.
Here is a summary of where we can conserve speed. Within a level, we can conserve speed through being in water, holding onto poles, reading text, being in cutscenes, and holding onto the owl. Between levels, we can conserve speed when exiting out of a level, dying into a game over then resuming a save file, exiting DDD through the hatch, falling off in VCutM, and going into the sunken ship in JRB.

I just want to stop and appreciate the fact that "pre-owl speed" is a thing.
Absolutely beautiful
@Anessen pre-nacho speed
Why did I say "pre-nacho speed"?
@@Dante_Sparda_DMC well, Mario hasn’t been seen eating any nachos, so technically all of his speed is pre-nacho speed

He almost messed up the shot!

Oh no, it's another "we can't do this cool thing that would crack tons of A presses but I'll still explain it in detail and crush your dreams anyway" video.
But on the other hand:
Oh yay, it's another "super interesting and entertaining video that teaches us more about the inner workings of one of the greatest video games ever made" ♥
Would you rather he just kept you in the dark?
Sato no it's a "well no one is ever going to understand how to do it but it'll be super funny to see them try to replicate anything I do in this video" video
as long as your dream is, for some reason, to 'play' sm64 without an a button. which is dumb in the first place. and you're not playing either. doing everything frame perfect and with floating point precision angles is just impossible. it's obviously tool assisted.
The concepts presented and the technical implementations are interesting, but there is no point.

Ladies and gentlemen, in this video, pannenkoek seriously discusses the idea of deliberately getting a game over in order to potentially save A presses.
the title of this video sounds like a math rock album
underrated comment
We just need to find a way to BLJ without pressing A!
1. Map A to a C button
2. We did it
No C button? There's four of them! C up, C left, C down, C right.
not that SM64 actually allows rebinding, but apparently the joke is obligatory at this point.
Fortunately, there are other ways to build up hyperspeed without pressing A (e.g. walking under the gate by the lake in HMC)
but no 0xa before second floor so its useless aside from SA entry

1:08 Can we all just take a second to appreciate how perfect that was
Pannen, we now know that you have perfected interdimensional travel, not just in a mere video game, but surely in real life, too. Tell us how.
He's probably been planning to do a commentated video of it. But only after he's made the other commentated videos first.
“Unfortunately, the universe crashes if you let the camera follow you to a parallel universe. So, here, I've hacked the universe to fix the camera in place.”
Oh, so that is why we call it the observable universe Kappa
+( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) it does take A presses though
Vincent Rousset No wonder he won't tell us about dimension travel. We would start SPAMMING the A button 30 times a second! Instead of waiting 12 hours to save an A press, we'd have pressed A 1.3 million times in that time!!! That's 1300 thousands! And that's horrible!
7:13 sneaky x pos, nice job developers
6:46
That goomba just goes FLYING
I would just like to take some time to appreciate how intricate and amazing this game is.
I know the glitches like HSW and PUs weren't added on purpose, but they really show you how the game works and the extent the programmers went to.
Lol, Mario's X starting position in Big Boo's Haunt is 666. Coincidence? 🙃
OH! Very nice find :D That must have been on purpose...
ILLUMINATI: Stay right where you are
no
I think not!
Nope!
We need to be conservative with the resources we got. The Mario world doesn't have an unlimited supply of them although we act as if it did. What would our children and grandchildren think of us if we used up all the speed before they could even lay a hand on Mario games? We need to conserve it as well as we can!
Conserve speed? How about conserve sm64 cartridges and N64s for our children/grandchildren
i hope someday pre-owl speed becomes important and a regularly used term
Probably not, unless it will bring some major time save since all stars in WF are already 0x
I don’t think they meant in SM64 specifically, just in everyday life.

I've played through this game about 50 times and I never knew about the warp-out in DDD, that's crazy

omg how did I not know about that hatch in DDD until now!?
Wait, you didn't know it existed??
Nope
That hatch sucked me win when I had like 99 coins or something. I was so triggered
brianpso it’s a sneaky little hatch, i played this game when i was little and just a few weeks ago i found out it existed
i never knew about that either.
Can the conserved speed be used by Demo Mario?
I would believe so, as spawning displacement works with demo Mario.
Will Arnett If that's the case, maybe mixing spawning displacement AND conserved speed may help Demo Mario get that darn star... Maybe?
This we need to know.
thisthisthis. Demo Mario might be able to snag that one star in JRB with the right starting speed.
Not sure if you could mix spawn displacement and conserved speed without A, but speed might help if it works

*WHAAAOAOOOAOAOAOOOO*
*Hyper speed backwards movement noises*
Another issue with using HMC to get speed for other places is that they can only use the MIPS trick to get to HMC's entrance without an A press twice. That means that we can only use it for one more thing, unless it can save 2 a presses in one go.
I love everything you do here. You're the best mario 64'er ever
YAAAAAAAAAS I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! THEY'RE SO INTERESTING!!!
This is the 2nd pannenkoek video I’ve watched since 5/16/21
You know when file select music plays you are about to learn what feels like a quantum physics lesson
The common denominator between when speed is conserved, and is reset - is whether or not there is an obvious "cutscene" (as small as they may be!) upon entering a new area.
The few level transitions which were mentioned to conserve speed don't have Mario do a cute "entry" animation.
Another great video!
1:41 The owl was like, "NOPE."
the absolute madman
Justin W IS THAT A JOJO REFERENCE?
"Sadly, it takes 1x a press to kill this man/woman."
I just find 4:55 so funny. Like, Mario is SO eager to continue his adventure that he can't contain himself.
WHO"S THE FASTEST NOW HUH, SONIC?!
"Sadly, it takes 1 full a press to reach Mach speed."
That kid in the ad for Lego: Hello there
This makes me think, if you can convert your speed conservation after a game over into a ready-to-play file, does that mean Mario's speed can be translated to the demo reels as well?
tbh, I didn't even know about ~98% of these level transitions :p
≈90%
I guess we need to find some way to build up speed in the top floor then.
Hey, what exactly is the trigger for making the eel move out of the ship in WDW? I can be swimming all around him trying to coax him out, and all you did was an reverse arc.
You just swim in front of his face and then swim close to the surface.
@@Lugmillord it is JRB that has the ship
Pannen, I've asked this a couple times but I'm not sure if you've seen it. What happens if you end the demo with text on screen (from bomb-buddy or sign) or while in a cannon? I'm hoping it causes a glitch since you can't normally exit a level with either of the above conditions in effect.
"If we die in a course then we get ejected,then we also cannot conserve speed"
Me:OBVIOUSLY BECAUSE WE GET STUNNED BY THAT EJECT
Woo! I'm on a Keok video! I know so much more now than when I made that comment...
1:43 Holy cow, I just realized Mario casts a shadow on the death barrier. How have I never noticed that before?
So if you make suggestions that won't work, you get to be included in a video? Awesome! Can you grab a bob-omb hands free and then enter a Pedro Spot to build up QPU speed, and then carry the bob-omb to the PU, and then clone the PU, and then bring it to the main map of TTC and release it. Then use the ground from the cloned PU to climb up to all the stars!
The PU is not an object, it is a real place in the game, and the floor and walls are still floor and walls, if the PU was an object for some reason, this may have been possible, but I'm pretty sure that HMC (Hazy Maze Cave) is the only place where getting to a PU 0xA is possible, but I believe it is impossible to clone on that map.
+Corbin Cox LOL I know. Like I said in the comment, it "won't work".
Corbin Cox
WDW, Probably JRB.
JRB was just recently found.
4:47 I never realized how realistic this game is, with Mario literally choking and grasping for air. Kinda creepy and scary!
1:43 The owl was just like "Get dat shit outta here, ride your own owl."
tbh 'the extent of speed conservation' makes for a super badass album/track name, same with 'parallel universes' xDD
So, only one question remains: Are there any hyperspeed spots *IN* the upstairs courses that we could exit, *WHILE* conserving our speed, such that we wouldn’t *HAVE TO* go through a loading zone 🤔?
Hey, fellow insomniacs. Hope you're having a wonderful evening.
Indeed I am! I'm almost done editing my new video :D
nice self-advertising
(no really, its better than most other people who try to hide it)
seconded
Meh. I'd prefer if it weren't there at all.
D MAS
same, still a little tacky
What about storing speed in death? Could that work as it pops you out of the course you could use it on the final boss and do what you did in the video.
I see the correlation, whenever you enter water with sliding speed, or gain speed and, as long as you stay in, or end up in water after a zone change you’ll keep your speed
Plus a few others
THAT'S why I would always go at an angle for the Caged Island Star.
If Princess Peach saw Mario using such witchery, she would rather stay with Bowser.
TechnoRazor
Unless she saw bowser get rid of his power to jump
That last one is the most interesting situation in my view. Is it known why speed conservation works in this particular loading zone? Also, just a random thought, are there any spots in the ship where one might be able to HSW or otherwise gain speed?
I think they all have to do with whether Mario spawns in water or not.
That's the only thing I can think of that the JRB ship, the DDD hatch and Invisible Mario Death all have in common.
Doucheman Macgee Then why doesn't it work with The Secret Aquarium?
mathphysicsnerd
No clue. Only guess I have is maybe it's because it's going from the castle to somewhere else Vs. going from somewhere else to the castle/somewhere else?
Doucheman Macgee I guess that's possible but it's very anti-intuitive that the castle would affect it in that manner, especially since exiting to the castle grounds from DDD allows for the maintenance of Speed Conservation.
mathphysicsnerd
That's why it's just a guess. My reasoning is that there's somehow differences in going from the overworld -> stage (secret aquarium), stage -> overworld (Course Exit, Alternate Course Exits like DDD hatch and waterfall) , and stage -> other part of a stage (JRB ship)
Maybe it's because the secret aquarium entrance counts as a painting? He said in the video that paintings in particular take away all of your speed.
Can you use the game over speed storage to do anything interesting from the courtyard, like enter the basement?
Is that why when we let go from the owl in Whomp's Fortress, we aren't dropped straight down? I always have an issue where when I let go, I always end up being pushed in one direction just a tad.
Some random chick: Are you playing Mario?
Me: I'm learning physics.
SRC: Isn't that game not about physics?
she was found dead next morning killed by half a knife stab
Why waste a half knife press man?
Wow kid thats pretty edgy you might hurt yourself
A knife stab is a knife stab.
You can't just say it's only half.

0:00 - 0:02 nice remix! drums and creepy music! xD
I'm assuming you've already thought of this, but maybe dying with a lot of negative speed in hmc can get demo mario to clip inside the cannon to shoot to the star.
Demo Mario would have to enter the sliding state the first possible frame
If you die in a sliding state in NYC, Would Demo Mario be sliding in that critical first frame?
John Jowers Probably not?
+John Jowers New York City?
raydarable No. I actually wanted to say HMC, but stupid autocorrect
I noticed that, for a moment, at 7:00 you still had sliding speeds while your XYZ positions were set for the upcoming level, which was different from the rest of the transitions as they were all set to 0 at essentially the same time. Assuming that Mario is in fact outside of PSS rather than in some weird transition army limbo (because the XYZ positions were set for the next area), is there really no way to use those sliding speeds before they're set back to 0? Or does the game prohibit the playing of the area before all defaults are set?
That seems to be a common phenomenon with every transition that's not a painting or a loading zone: When Mario's loaded into his new position, his sliding speed is perserved, then reset when everything's normal, with the exception of Exiting the Stage through the Pause Menu. That may be because we're on the ground when exiting through the Pause Menu, and all other times, we're in the air. If there was some kind of spawning displacement that immediately put us on the ground when we're thrown out of the stage, we could conserve our speed.
RarefoilB A LONG TIME LATER, WE FIND A USE FOR SLIDING SPEED!
look mom, i'm in a pannenkeok video!
Caldera11 i'm right beside you too
REAAAALY CALDERA
Fail,its UncommentatedPannen
Is there just an entire society of programmers dedicated to analyzing the quirks of this single video game?
Wait, there's a hatch in DDD that leads outside? I have literally never seen than before...
7:36 i didn't know this was even possible x)
"Hi, I'll prepare the cannon for you" *Kicks Mario off island.*
you fool. that *was* the cannon
is it possible to conserve speed and use it in a demo file maybe then you could get the star in jrb
I was thinking the same thing.
To be able to conserve speed, you would need to enter a sliding state on the first frame possible, so the demo probably wouldn't do that.
if you use spawning displacement for mario to be on a slope an slide... it could work
EDIT: I dunno, being burn to the death resets your speed? game over speed conservation is only possible through falls?
of course not
hopefully pannen will reply to my questions
0:30
;-; doesn't work for doors...
It's weird how the many transitions that _do_ conserve speed involve water in some way. Weird how the secret aquarium is the only level you enter in a swimming state that doesn't conserve speed.
It's because the speed is lost before you get in the water.
@@TheVercci Mario is loaded in the water
So why can you not save speed at the beginning of a new save file? Unless it deliberately wipes your momentum, spawning into a cutscene nullifies momentum saving (Which I don't think it would), or the transition from cutscene to text-box kills it, holding a direction from frame one should allow you to save your momentum. I reckon if we can figure out exactly where in there and why the momentum is killed, then unless it's the first one, maybe there's a workaround?
pokefan548 If you look at the debug box, it's when Mario exits the pipe. He has set movement values in the cutscene.
This game sure had a lot of detail back in the day
Also how did you find the names of the secret stages probably through the manual I assume
Yoshibro26 late response but pausing the game tells you the course
4:17 imagine peach being kidnapped and hoping Mario to save her and see this
6:47
Goomba: Oh I found Mario! Here's my chance!
Mario: *sends the Goomba flying* no
This leads into a question I've had nicely; how exactly does BLJing work? Like, how does it work in the code that makes it able to give you unbounded negative speed but nothing of the sort in the positive direction? How was it fixed in the rumble edition (I know it's got a different name but it escapes me)?
The backward movement was never assigned a limit because the developers never thought you could get so much reverse speed.
so when is the no A any% run (or max% no a presses or however you will cal it)
holy shit, you need to make a speedrun video for us showing how long itll take you to get 120 stars
He has a google document that says how long it would take.
You need a sliding speed pressing Z, but how I can convert the negative speed to normal speed, when mario falls in the water after a BLJ and you are going to use the speed that you conservate, how you make this speed positive to go towards?
You should do a video on how that damn eel works. I've been playing this game for 20 years and I still don't know exactly what makes it exit that hole.
the eel kinda has like a hitbox. maybe
1:08 hello mario!
2 seconds later: goes off flying uncontrolably.
You'd think that the Mario-class in the code would have resetting of speed to 0 for transitions to keep this from happening. All it would need is an if-check or have all the variables be == 0 at the top when it loads. Maybe it's declaring the types but not giving them values?
so, we can get behind the 8 star door early 0xA, by first doing HSWing in the courtyard to get to the moat door, then go to hmc to build up some speed and bam 0 stars behind the 8 star door but its completely useless since you wouldn't save an A press, nor time with this.
What about conserving speed between two existing files, instead of conserving between one existing, and one new file?
The owl at 1:40 said GET REKT SCRUB
Do we know why speed is conserved through some loading zones and not others, like how it's conserved in the ship in JRB and exiting the hole in DDD, but not others? The only theme I can see is that the previous two I mentioned deposit you into water, which seem to conserve speed.
Have you played SM64DS? I found an out of bounds glitch that could get us through the third locked door with 0 stars. Unfortunately, the loading zone fails to trigger and I fall through the map.
Do A Video On How Shadows Work also i saw a shadow a bit beyond the death barrier
What is that thing in your profile pic
I've actually had the thing at 1:10 happen to me and until now I never knew why!!!
Cool!
So THAT'S why letting go of the owl always felt so unpredictable!
Can you conserve speed by using the game over method, then going onto another pre existing save file?
Can you conserve your speed if you open a different save file after a game over?
Can you carry over speed to a demo or manipulate the spawn points?
Wait, if you can conserve speed by dying and causing a game over, can you conserve speed into a demo? If so, is there a way to use that to cause demo-Mario to collect a star?
any way to use this technique with a tutorial since i want to use this to practice getting out of bounds.
Can we conserve speed when falling off TotWC?
They seemingly did a pretty good job at mitigating speed conservation attempts by adding "set to zero" checks everywhere. Imagine how much more insane SM64 would be if you could just conserve your speed through loading zones, while moving normally, etc. You could essentially just BLJ your entire way through the game. They also did a good job with bounds, never making it actually possible to get out of bounds, though I'm not sure that's a good thing as we never would have gotten parallel universes that way.
Someone should make a ROM hack where all these things that are impossible in the base game, are possible... and then challenge Pannen to save all the A-presses. Think it'd be possible?
(If you get a game over, could you use the speed in the demo?)
Could you please make a video about how does the ending cutscene work?
I don't know anything more about it than the common viewer. There's nothing to test
@@UncommentatedPannen i used a moon jump code in the credits and i died. but it was just normal mario 64 but with no hud. i have not seen file it is on. but my guess is file a.
Okay, now a random question that i'm sure as hell was answered before:
If there's a level with death barrier below it, is it possible to fly far, far away and fly by the side of that death barrier? I.e. are death barriers infinite in all sides?
Death barriers are just floor triangles of a certain type. When Mario gets too close to above one of these floor triangles, then it triggers the fade-out. You cannot go past a death barrier, because there is no floor out that far, and so it's considered out of bounds. Mario cannot move through area considered out of bounds
Ah, i forgot about the bounds. Sorry for taking your time :v
Could you build speed from wdw to get to ttc?
EPICCC
Where is Cot MC where is that waterfall how do you do that
