LLL Elevator Tour in the Volcano 0xA

  • We collect the star Elevator Tour in the Volcano in LLL using 0 A presses. This is TAS. Note that this strat is not possible on Shindou because that version has different bully behavior. This improvement reduces the total A press count for collecting 120 stars from 16 to 15.
    This TAS was possible thanks to the following people:
    ➤ Marbler, for fleshing out the plan and TASing the fast bully battery. ( / supermarble94 )
    ➤ myself, for doing the slow bully battery using a brute forcer and TASing the PU movement.
    ➤ MasterKush, for providing me tools to brute force SM64 in C#.
    ➤ fifdspence, for TASing the section from entering LLL to getting up the lava fall. ( / @fifdspence )
    ➤ Iwer Sonsch, for optimizing the initial slide kick and grind. ( / @iwersonsch5131 )
    ➤ DeRockProject, for explaining bully movement to us. ( / @jongyon7192p )
    ➤ Tyler Kehne, for making a video of bully battery. ( / tylerkehne )
    ➤ bad_boot, for doing some preliminary investigation into this strat. ( / @bad_boot )
    This video is an improvement from the previous strat that did this in 1 A press ( • SM64 - Elevator Tour i... ). Since then, the community discovered bully battery, squish cancels, and PU rotational displacement. With these glitches known, bad_boot and Tyler Kehne did some preliminary investigation and concluded that it may be possible to use these to get Elevator Tour in the Volcano 0xA. However, the specifics of it were yet to be fleshed out. It wasn't until much later that Marbler got interested in the problem, and figured out many details. However, a remaining problem was that the strat required ~20 hours of slow bully battery, which couldn't use repeated inputs. So I asked around, and MasterKush gave me some tools to brute force SM64 in C#. I used this to create a brute forcer that could automate bully battery. After about a week, the brute forcer finished it. From there, Marbler TASed the fast bully battery, and then I did the PU movement.
    Here's what happens in the video. First, we enter the volcano and move the bully to the bottom level. We have the bully enter lava to start its death animation, which lowers it into out of bounds below the floor, and then we knock into it to interrupt its death animation. Consequently, the bully ends up oscillating back and forth between two out of bounds locations, since neither are valid places to be. Next, we move the bully to a specific position, and then perform slow bully battery. This involves repeatedly knocking into the bully to slowly increase its speed. Once it has sufficient speed, we perform fast bully battery. This involves Mario getting knockback from the bully to take on its speed, cancelling the knockback speed cap by doing a squish cancel on the elevator, and then transferring that speed back to the bully via another collision. This has the effect of massively increasing the bully's speed, since the bully's speed is tripled before transferring to Mario. After enough fast bully batteries, we have enough speed to do PU rotational displacement, in which we move from the elevator on the main map to the elevator in a PU. By doing this, we receive the rotational displacement from the elevator, whose pivot is still in the main map, and so the displacement is magnified by many PUs. The result is that Mario ends up very high up in a PU. From there, we do PU movement back to the main map onto the star platform, and then collect the star.

      I mean, I understood that he was building up the bully's speed for something, I later realized it was so some kind of interaction with it would allow entering a parallel universe, but I'm still not sure by what mechanism he is building up the bully's speed, nor do I know what kind of interaction is being used to emter the parallel universe.

    • @diribigal
      @diribigal ปีที่แล้ว +66

      The basic idea is that unrealistic physics lets the bully produce kinetic energy when bumping into it. This is exploited to use the bully as a battery (or a capacitor?) to build up speed on Mario's behalf

    That Bully just experienced something far beyond its comprehension.
    Being nearly killed, only to survive, being ran into for 21 hours straight, smearing across the volcano in some sort of Bully superposition, going thousands of times faster than it has ever gone, sending another being to a parallel universe by a monumental transfer of speed...
    It would be easier to explain to this Bully how it happened, but it could never, ever understand why.
    "Bully, we did this to you to avoid pressing this button once." A mind-breaking experience for... an A press?
    But in the end...

    i once saw someone describe the ABC as a "puzzle sent by god". like, a task that doesn't have to be done, isn't defined as necessary by anyone, and offers no true reward, but once one has started on it, it becomes clear that it's utterly insane and complex to do, and it's only even possible through ludicrous levels of confluence and luck alongside immense skill. it's like... they say "people climb mountains because they're there". but the ABC is like a mountain you climb even though it's *not* there. it's a task defined by absence, and yet it's unequivocally possible to climb. you just have to find the right spots to fray the fabric of the world...

      Another weird thing I discovered about the texture is, it's actually water, only way to discover that is typing this gameshark code below that I've made and going to Lethal Lava Land and going inside the volcano, and once you're inside the volcano press D-Pad down and it'll spawn a glitter star, and once you jump up and touch the glitter star the lava texture would rise and Mario would be swimming in it. That's weird.

      0xa almost definitely wont happen without arbitrary code execution being discovered because of wing mario over the rainbow red coins, no way to start flying without a cannon shot or a triple jump which both need an a press. 1xa could be in the realm of possibility but a lot more stuff would have to be discovered
      Jrb 0xa and wmotr 1xa have a whole lot of things that almost work so a breakthrough there could come from a lot of places (jrb moreso than wmotr)
      SSL would probably need eyerok manipulation of some kind
      THI needs wiggler manip
      PSS would probably need some kind of discovery with maintaining speed when breaking the block or something, cuz you can use the demo to spawn in the stage at a huge offset and with crazy vertical/sliding speed
      The 5 a presses in the lobby would need some discovery with crazy spawning displacement while exiting a stage that's somewhere on the second floor (on the jp version of the game)

    In this episode of ABC, Mario loses a deal with the devil and gets trapped into Hell. As a way to take out his frustration, he starts bullying the bullies for 21 hours until he realizes he can build speed with them to travel into Parallel Universes to steal the star and escape. Fun fact, the name of level actually hints at the solution. Mario uses the elevator to take a deTOUR into a parallel universe. Clearly this was intended by the devs.

    Little did I know that was very fast gonna turn into over 3.4 Million Mario Speed. For reference, that's a bit over a million meters per second, almost 3000 times the speed of sound or about 0.34% the speed of light.

    With little regard of the exact context of this video, I decided to go in and watch the whole thing in full screen, observing it as if it were an artwork. Watching Mario running around in circles or just standing still to shift around levitating Bullies was a peculiar experience. Once the good ole quadrants showing the cameras and maps came in, I knew that they pay-off was approaching, and it was quite satisfying! I also quite appreciate the humor in the early sped-up segment, given its inclusion of dramatic music over imagery of Mario running around over many hours while various graphs giving context to what is happening go over the screen.

    Life advice: If a bully bullies you, just kill it and play with its still dying corpse for nearly a full day to give it enough internal potential energy to launch it into a parallel universe, but only such that it doesn't travel to a parallel universe, then use its potential energy to add to your own so you can go to a parallel universe, such that you do travel to a parallel universe, so you can use an elevator platform to teleport to your dream life so you can rub it in that dumb bully's face and say "I told you I could do it!" and make your dreams come true!

    “Oh wow! I wonder how Pannen saves this A-press?”
    “Today we’re going to split a Bully between the planes of life and death and build dimension-tearing speed off its ruptured astral projection for 21 hours, until neither the laws of physics nor the laws of any divine can catch up with Mario.”
