    What blows my mind as a 3D artist is that this is only possible because of a single improper normal calculation. All because that ledge wall's normal was a couple units slanted. I always tell myself "oh nobody would ever notice a single improper vertice or normal"; but imagine being the person who made that wall and finding out 2 decades later that a single improper normal is responsible for such a monumental TAS. This video is beautiful.

    Index of glitches/techniques exhibited in this run:
    0:00 Introduction (why this is being done on N64 vs Wii VC)
    1:37 Sliding Speed: a type of movement speed that can be exploited to allow Mario to pause exit a level without losing his regular speed
    3:18 Glitchy Ledge Grab: allows Mario to grab the ledge by the secret aquarium entrance, the final step to entering the goal level
    4:53 Text Redirection: allows arbitrary redirection of Mario's movement while moving at high speed. Used to obtain the precise angle needed for the GLG during high speed lobby movement
    6:53 Shell Hyperspeed [Unused; insufficient speed/inaccessible in BBB]: lets Mario gain high speed by moving backwards on a Koopa shell
    7:52 C^ Slide: stops Mario from sliding down slopes, allowing him to gain high speed by sliding. Used to clip through Bowser star door (via pause exit to lobby from BBB), granting access to SSL
    10:06 Hyperspeed Punching: lets Mario gain unlimited speed under specific positioning conditions. Gives Mario the speed required for lobby movement
    11:23 Crouch sliding: a property of pressing Z (crouch) that allows 1 frame to lapse before speed from HSP is lost; also lets Mario turn slightly to avoid accidentally traveling out of bounds
    12:40 Special properties of bonking (speed is not lost until the 2nd frame of bonking; there's a 1 frame window to cancel the bonk without losing speed)
    13:27 10k Glitch: allows Mario to instantly gain/lose large amounts of speed while in a sliding state (in this case, lose)
    14:41 Special properties of Koopa shells: Pressing Z on the first frame Mario steps on a Koopa shell allows him to enter a crouch slide, regardless of whether the shell is on the ground or not
    16:03 Special properties of fire: when Mario is on fire, he won't lose speed while he's in the air, and he won't bonk
    17:44 HOLP: Held Object's Last Position, the xyz coordinates of the last object that left Mario's hands. Normally updates every time Mario throws or releases a held item
    18:58 Hat-in-hand glitch [unused; wing cap can't be unlocked at this point]: forces Mario to carry his hat instead of his actual held object. Method of preventing the HOLP from updating
    19:07 Pause Buffered Hitstun: prevents Mario's thrown object from rendering, thus stopping the HOLP from updating. Used to remotely throw a bob-omb at the block containing the Koopa shell
    19:35 Cloning: lets Mario hold objects (including things normally unholdable, like goombas), and by throwing them, creates a "clone" of that object at the HOLP
    20:25 Holding an enlarged bob-omb pushes Mario backwards, allowing faster movement
    22:37 Crouch-releasing a cloned item: puts clone at Mario's height (z coordinate), but at HOLP's xy coordinates. Used to place fire clone directly above Koopa shell clone
    22:55 Shy Guy Manipulation: abusing enemy behavior to move Shy Guy to a specific location, in this case, directly underneath the spot Mario will bonk, canceling it and preserving speed
    Let me know if I missed any/corrections. Amazing vid, thanks to everyone involved from TASers to production

  • @DickfaceMcGhee
    @DickfaceMcGhee 5 ปีที่แล้ว +207

    Building up speed to travel through parallel universes to reach a specific destination was not optimal enough. Instead, we must trick the laws of the universe into believing that we are actually grabbing a ledge by building up so much speed we phase through the castle and end up hitting a wall a few rooms over. However, the performance of this action requires that we be in a specific location, and reaching this location actually makes us build up too much speed, so we need a way to build up a precise amount of speed while being able to freely control our velocity so that we can rocket ourselves to our destination. And we need to do all of that without collecting any of those things we even play the game for in the first place.
    These videos are always incredible. Good work for explaining everything going on here, very entertaining

      As tragic as it may be, 120 star 0x A press just isn't possible. Wing Mario Over the Rainbow is just not possible without an A press. With next to no collisions to do any sort of PU shenanigans and the only way to get enough height being either jumping or a cannon, there's just no way it will ever get done. I'd be pretty psyched for a 2x A press run, though.

    -We need a lot of speed to get in here, but we can't aim it in the right direction.
    -Text redirection on star door?
    -Sure, but then we need to do it with 0 stars, so we can't use our regular speed gaining levels.
    -What if we get into the basement?
    -Sure, BOB will let us get the first key. SSL allows us to punch up speed, but how do we bring it out?
    -Can we slide out of the punches?
    -Yes, but we leave the ground and bonk on the next frame.
    -We could keep the speed if we hit the fly guy. Then we can angle it however we want.
    -Yes, but our speed is way too high for the lobby movement. We need to slow down.
    -What about the 10k glitch? We could use the shell, right?
    -We need to be falling to get on the shell. We'll bonk and lose our speed before that happens.
    -Doesn't fire damage prevent that?
    -That should work... Now, how do we do we set that up?
    -Set HOLP in BOB, throw bomb at shell box, clone shell, place shell + new HOLP, clone fire, crouch drop at HOLP to place it above shell, then manipulate the fly guy into position. Then go to the corner, punch the air for 40 minutes, crouch, burn, shell, 10k glitch, boop the fly guy,find the right angle, land, quit out, get to door text box, angle to entrance, glitch up to the ledge.
    -Are you sure you can get to the door with before losing your speed?
    -I'll have to try to find out!

The best part was about the 10k glitch which I had tried to figure out what it was a few months ago after pannankoak(can’t spell) talked about it, and it was really refreshing to finally learn kinda what it is, I would love a video on that alone breaking down its details.
