I consider the information in this video to be extremely important, especially when it comes to SM64 analysis (e.g. can Mario dive recover onto this box?). In fact, I've been using this information for years to help me execute strats (e.g. clipping through two walls at a corner when I have less than 400 speed) and quickly dismiss impossible strats (e.g. even if we had enough speed, we couldn't launch to above the chests in JRB since that's above a ceiling). And so now, I've finally compiled all of this knowledge into one video so that everyone has access to it. Big thanks to Tyler Kehne and Peter Fedak for assisting me throughout the research process.
Note that I've tried to make this video as simple and concise as possible, which often meant making generalizations that apply in most cases but not all. For example, I said moving into out of bounds while airborne resets Mario's horizontal speed, but this only occurs when Mario has a small positive speed or negative speed. For a medium positive speed, Mario will do a soft bonk. And for a high positive speed, Mario will do a hard bonk. So there may be exceptions to some things I say, but this was because delving into every possible case would have made the video several times longer and more complicated.
Interestingly, in the time between when I started this video and when I posted it, I've made other videos that have used information from this video, such as the hitbox dimensions and effects. Those videos even used the same color scheme in their visuals, since I had just copied the visuals from this video. But in all of those cases, I had to briefly explain the important principles beforehand, since I couldn't rely on viewers having seen the not-yet-released wall/floor/ceiling video. But now that this video is released, I won't bother re-explaining information from this video in future videos that rely on it.
Aside: I had actually started this video on May 26, 2016 (a year and one day ago). But after starting it, this video ended up becoming a much larger endeavor than I had anticipated. Indeed, the magnitude of its scope combined with how tedious the research and visuals were caused making this video to be extremely unfun. So unfun that I soon abandoned it in favor of working on other easier/funner videos instead. In fact, I’ve made 70+ other videos since then, since basically I preferred to work on any other video rather than have to finish this video. During that period, I’d attempted to resume working on this video about 8 times, but each time I just ended up abandoning it again due to how unfun it was. During one attempt, I even tried mandating that I couldn’t work on any other SM64 things besides this video, but that just led to 3 days of getting nothing done in SM64, and so I abandoned that attempt. It wasn’t until recently that conditions aligned just right and so I was finally able to coax myself into finishing this video. The takeaway from this is that I simply cannot force myself to make a video that I’m not in the mood to make. If I do try to force myself, I’ll just end up resisting, putting it off, and getting nothing done. Note that if this video also had to be commentated, then my resistance to making it would have increased several fold, and so it probably would have taken at least 5-10 more years to coax myself into making it. In other words, I was only able to get this video out as early as now because it was strictly uncommentated. - เกม

TacitIron Hav It's a real eye opener
I figured something like that was why
That feeling when you've noticed many of these behaviors when casually playing but never knew why or gave them much thought
nin10doadict I am just glad to now know why you can sometimes get stuck on random geometry, usually corners.
This also explains those weird random invisible walls that you sometimes hit. They're infinitely extending OoB or ceiling hitboxes that are simply leaking through small misalignments of the ground
So, the 100 unit hitboxes above the floors are *INDEED* why punching one’s way down from the blue coin blocks doesn’t activate one’s conserved vertical speed 🤔💡.

Steve, he is the new guy.
Kit Sovereign 1. the big boo
2. probably anhacker
The geometry of the merry-go-round at 0:38 looked odd at first but after thinking about it, it makes sense. The pyramid in the center has 5 vertices of which the 4 vertices at the bottom need to be attached to the square base. Without the skinny triangles, you would be left with 4 trapezoids, not triangles. It looks odd, but it is probably the best way of using a triangular mesh to make that merry-go-round.
@@lucasrussell8101 I think the main problem that the original comment was referring to is the fact that it's not symmetrical. There are two of those skinny triangles in the top right and none in the top left, while it could have EASILY been one in every direction.

Fascinating as always. I'm actually about to start working on programming my own physics engine, so this is extra interesting as a look at how the people working on the N64 solved the problems of clipping and so on. Thanks, Pannen!
Also should be said: parts of Rolling Rocks in 0.5 A Presses make a lot more sense now.

The same goes for a particle's wavefunction, which is used to find the probability of finding the particle in a certain position/momentum etc. (which must obviously be a real number).

there's so much content that i could not have imagined would be this interesting, and now i can watch 37 minutes of it
could you teach a class on m64
i would actually be happy to attend such a class
100th like
You won't happily attend it anymore once you start to get the homework.
"If Mario is moving perpendicularly towards a wall that has a rotation of 90° and he has a speed of 300, can he still pass through it in 1 quarter step?"
"Explain your work."
"When Mario bonks into a ceiling, does his vertical speed reset? What about his horizontal speed? How about the walls and the death barrier?"
"Answer in complete sentences."
"Should I commentate my videos?"
"A. No"
"B. No"
"C. No"
"D. DefactNO"
"YES or NO?"
"Is the distance that Mario travels necessarily equal to his actual speed?"
Oh, also the homework uses Comic Sans MS.
1. No, Mario's distance per quarter step would be 75, and thus he wouldn't be able to travel through the wall.
2. Whenever Mario bonks into a ceiling or death barrier, both his horizontal and vertical speed reset, and he will go through the animation in the reverse of his original direction. Upon collision with a wall, however, Mario will have his direction reflected off of the surface of the wall, with his speeds still being reset.
3. ...Yes. Wait, shit, no!
4. No, it is not necessary that the distance Mario travels is equal to his speed; the two concepts are of different units, no time frame was specified, and interactions with floors, walls, and ceilings can all affect his motion.
I would still take the class. Plus, Comic Sans isn't that bad. What other font do you know of that can piss off so many people just by insinuating its use?

WARNING
SHARP HITBOXES
Nice pfp
So, question. How come when Mario long-jumps into a steep floor, his running speed increases so much as long as he's on it? An easy place to try this is the ramp out of the drained moat on the castle grounds. I used to get a kick out of running Mario around on it.
I know I'm three years late, but I think it has to do with the fact that long jumping multiplies your speed by a certain value. Long jumping in quick succession will multiply your speed quite fast, until you hit the speed cap. This is why BLJs work, as they never set a negative cap on speed, meaning long jumping backwards could multiply your speed into the negayive millions. Also, because it is a multiplication of your speed, your speed increases exponentially.
Sorry for being 4 years late, but that's because certain slopes retain Mario's speed
Sorry for being 5 years late, but I have no idea
My girlfriend and I love watching your content. The theory behind this in terms of speedrunning and game development is fascinating no matter the medium it's presented. Keep it up.

Give him a while and he'll have an answer. I mean it took a while to fully understand how cloning worked. Originally it as an art but now it's a Science!
i mean its still art but now we understand it. really now mario 64 itself is even more of an art, imitating life in that everything in it boils down to an interesting science. the difference between this and other games is that were studying this one. etc

YEAH HE SHOULD KNOW THE UPWARP FIWKJDJWIJDNDN NOTIFICATION II
The amount of stuff you know about this game and how clearly you explain it just completely blows my mind. This game is basically a science at this point and you make me understand all of it. You're amazing!
I really love these videos of going into almost excessive depth on a topic. They're weirdly relaxing while also bring interesting
I guess you can say the game is made of some tricky triangles then
D A M .
I can honestly say I was not expecting such a long video at this point, but I'm pleasantly surprised. :D Thanks pannen, ily
So many questions answered by this.
You're very good at explaining and demonstrating these complicated mechanics
As programmer in training... It's extremely interesting to see how some of these well known, highly praised games were built.
Thanks for documentaries! Sweet stuff! :D
35:00 pannen perfectly syncs the arrows to the music for the entire scene
He actually did that in quite a few videos, such as Star Heights
this has to be one of the best videos you've ever done. really great examples that made me go "ooooh it makes sense why they do that" so many times. tbh I love the videos going deep into small mechanics of the game than anything else
I love Pannenkoek's 30+min videos. You're really amazing and I appreciate you taking the time to make such great content.

Some day Pannen will do a twelve hour video and I will die happy.
I am pleased I made this reply twelve hours after your comment.
You want to see him build up speed for 12 hours?

IT'S OVER 255!
And 6 years later, he released a nearly 4 hour long sequel on the topic.
The File Select Theme gets to show its chops for over 30 minutes.
Awesome video, that really makes you understand, in some ways, how games are made (And how difficult and time-consuming it is).
This made me realise a lot of things, that may be applicable to a *lot* of other video-games.
That out of bounds stuff helped me make sense of the QPU movements. I now understand that the game makes sure you are not out of bounds every quarter-frame, which explains why you need to go across 4 PUs rather than one
We need like a college of Pannen. There's so much interesting stuff going on here, with length and detail to match. You're a professor of SM64 at this point.
Wow, almost 40 minutes? What a treat! And this explains so many of the small weird things that you encounter in the game, like how walls push you back differently. And now I know how these staircases in the castle really work! That bothered me for so long. Thanks :D WOW, you even explain why there are invisible walls, awesome. Now that's like the thing that bothered me the most! And this video even explains the underwater downwarp in my hack. Crazy. ...and how you can fall through the top of the castle's tower. Now it all makes sense o.O Really, this is an amazing video / lecture. I can't imagine how much work it must have been to put this together. This may just be your best work yet. I'm thoroughly impressed!
I'm always amazed at how well you can explain such complicated rules of this game while also going into sufficient depth. I don't know if I can fully appreciate the effort that you must have put into this, based on your description, but I am thankful for it, and for the effort of everyone else in the SM64 TAS community (Tyler Kehne, Peter Fedak, etc.).
This was probably the easiest time I've ever had watching a 37-minute video in one sitting. Your presentation skills are impeccable, Pannen. :)
If the game could be tricked into thinking Mario was swimming for the purposes of quarter-step calculation while still keeping the physics behaviours of running or jumping, would that be useful at all for PU movement and the min-A-press challenge?
· 0xFFF1 yeah, maybe that would remove QPU usage!
probably yea, but its more commonly referred to as ABC or the A B-utton C-hallenge for future reference
Too bad entering the swimming state resets his speed to zero and you can't build up speed while swimming :/
Edit: Okay, you can conserve some speed, but it doesn't translate to swimming speed.
Lugmillord oh, too bad then
But we have to consider all possibilites ;) I mean... Pannen tried using the demo Mario. There isn't a crazy idea.
So this is what you've been working so long on.
Super excited to watch!
Very interesting, especially with the walls! Now I know why there is sometimes a weird gap on one side of a wall in a game, I was always wondering what was going on! It was also pretty funny seeing how the out of bounds stuff worked!
"I painted my room today!" Walls: Green. Floor: Blue. Ceiling: Red
out of bounds: gray
This video clarified a lot for me. I finally know the movement after a LBLJ works, cause I always wondered my Mario seemingly stops and then instantly moves fast again, now I know it's because you push against OOB.
Also some clips used in speedrunning finally make a lot more sense. One thing I am still curious about is if what speedrunners call an "invisible wall" is actually just a ceiling "leaking out" or something like that.
Not even kidding, you could make a book out of all these videos.
I imagine it would read just as well as the book "Programming the 6502" by Rodnay Zaks.
I'd kill for that book.
Now, I know this may seem like a 37 minute video, but I had to pause and rewind so many times, that this was easily an hour long experience. Well worth it though!
Wow, this actually explains a lot! I was wondering how you clipped through walls and objects with QPU movement and now I have my answer
Never before did I think college education would factor into my understanding of a video about Super Mario 64...
I think an object can push you out of bounds because its wall hitbox can push Mario through the floor triangle into out of bounds
Thank you for making and publishing this. I imagine it was a real slog to put together, but it's really fascinating to see how the developers choices and how the results of those choices interact with one another. Your analysis is clear and inspiring. Thank you.
I just want to say it was well worth the effort and time to make this, this is one of your best videos to date and has a flow and polish of a high quality research thesis. You started small and brought up the complexity at a comfortable rate, and by the end it felt fully fleshed out.
pannen has this amazing ability for me to reconsider things and little quirks ive noticed in this game but never really thought twice about... it's really fascinating!! keep up the good work!!
Astronaut: Wait,its all triangles
Mario: *loads pistol* Always has been.
always has-a been
I love how all these videos always end so unceremoniously. It makes it hard not to immediately start up another one.
pannen went back on all of his old videos ang made chapter with the new youtube feature, what a great lad ! thank you so much for the efforts you put into the mario 64 community !
I know I won't need to use most of this knowledge in my daily life, but damn if I don't always learn cool stuff from these videos. I plan on taking a game design course at my school next spring, I might just show my professor this channel and see if he would like to play some for the class. Edit: 35:44 OH. *THAT'S* why Mario is usually in that animation while moving at high speeds on the ground.
It's cool to see strange observations from in-game finally explained in videos like this! Though I have a few questions:
1. Are all instances of what we call 'invisible walls' just the consequence of infinite ceilings/ gaps in the floor?
2. At 23:02 you explain that horizontal speed gets reset one frame later than vertical speed, but you show yellow arrows, indicating horizontal speed gets reset one quarter frame later than vertical speed. I can't tell from the video which one it is though.
It was probably Mario's 4th quarter step
1. Yes but, for example, in TTC you might hit invisible walls in the middle of the map where you'd think there would not be any gaps in the floor or infinite ceilings. I'm not sure myself what it is but I believe it could be because of some kinds of small misalignments with ceiling&floor triangles.
2. I believe he meant quarter frames.
Tomatobird8
No, he meant frames. Part 2 is out, and he reveals his MISTAKE! That's right. Mistake.
This video is sick! I'm a software engineer who loves gaming, so i'm always interested in breakdowns of mechanics in video games but this is so amazingly done that almost anyone can understand! Seriously good job!
Some reason, these videos are plain beauty to me. Possibly the simplicity, possibly the cleverness in the engine, but whatever is, I love these videos!!!
Thank you for this bountiful feast; I shall remain satisfied for a while
Considering all the time I spent studying game programming in the last two decades or so. (no, I'm not a professional, nor even that good at it in the end), I find the nature of these hitboxes and in fact the whole collision logic for mario seems way more complex than I expected.
While I'm sure there were very good reasons for what they did, I'm struggling to think of them for most cases.
The 4 sub-step collision one at least makes sense.
Depending on the accuracy of the coordinate system, if an object moves too far in a single step it might bypass the collision volumes, which leads to clipping through objects.
One solution to this is to make hitboxes larger.
Another is to perform actual full parametric line intersection testing (but that's difficult and computationally expensive.)
A third option is to make all objects that can potentially collide move more slowly.
Finally, you can make the time intervals between tests smaller. Which has the same functional effect as making the speeds lower, but does require more calculations. (since you are repeating the test more times per second.)
There are possibly other options, but you can see why they went with the last one.
The strange, multi-layer hitboxes though... That's very... peculiar...
The more of these I watch, the more strange things mario 64 seems to contain.
Some are there for good, obvious reasons, but some really don't seem to be at all.
Makes you wonder how and why they came about.
I absolutely love your videos. The amount of technical information in them is impressive.
So I just wanted to say that this and part 2 are basically my favourite youtube videos ever. I absolutely love the in depth ones about mechanics over anything else. This, blinking, sleeping, HP, floats, RNG etc are some the best gaming videos on youtube imo.
Amazing as always. Thanks for your dedication in making stuff like this.
I totally get killing Mario when he steps out of bounds, but why does his hat disappear?
I think Tyler said that the developers probably programmed that to happen for testing purposes, like so they would know that Mario had gone out of bounds, and then just forgot to remove it.
How do you get your hat back if that happens, anyway?
(If this is answered in the video, ignore me)
It's only graphical, you still have it when you respawn
Heave-Ho yeah that's the popular theory on why that's a thing
Ron Amadeo Because it's literally hats off for getting out if bounds.
I wonder how close you are to knowing more about how the game works than the developers
I bet you he knows more than the developers currently remember about it. ;)
Kyledude252 The devs didn't know the glitches. pannen does

I always wanted to know more about the collision detection in Mario64 (and thus presumably Zelda too?). The one thing I wonder about though is how ledge grabs are detected, is that done on the edge of a floor (any floor?) or the tip of a wall? Loved the video, thank you so much and hope you will do more!

Late night TH-cam always impresses, no matter the circumstances. Thank you for making this video.
My god, it's full of triangles.
After watching this, I'm reminded of how, while performing the Pillarless glitch on SSL, I have, on occasion, instantly died when attempting to enter the top of the pyramid hole with the bomb. And so I ask, Pannenkoek, as you may already know the answer or would be able to investigate it, is there an area of Out of Bounds near the top of the pyramid hole in SSL?
When I saw those 37 minutes I was ready to be confused. 5 minutes in I was already confused, but the rest of the video was really straight forward and simple tbh. Good job on explaining it so well!
You started this video 1 year ago? Wow, too bad you didn't have fun making it...but you did a favor to everyone of us by finishing it and showing it to us, it's really informative and entertaining, despite it being so unfun for you, I'm sure everyone here really appreciate it. Thank you.

Pannen thank you so much for this. Breaking down and understanding how the developers of SM64 got their game to work is not only interesting, but is also invaluable to hobby programmers like me.

Thanks for everything
Very well constructed and thought out. Inspiring enough to make me look over my old work on 2D games.
Gonna hear the file select song in my dreams.
I should be doing final school work but here I am instead learning about triangles in SM64.
Your videos are actually the ones allowing me to do a math IA on the logic behind speedrunning! Thank you for helping me pass IB!
Upon closer inspection, walls and floors act very similarly in that they push Mario into an assigned direction; the main difference being that, for air movement, the different parts of the floor hitboxes push Mario in the opposite directions, whereas in all the other cases, the entire hitbox pushes Mario in a single direction; and wall hitboxes are additive. It’s the ceilings that are the outliers amongst surface triangles, being the only ones that actually cancel Mario’s movement.
Explain this atheists
