Nintendo: We used to call him jumpman. Jumping is his thing.
Challenge seekers: How about no.
No way that was bagger milk in your ad 😭
0:42 “check out this short summary video”.
The video is over 5 hours long… Bismuth you absolute troll 🤣
Knowing that video well, I totally lost it when he said that.
Like many, I watched it from beginning to the end and had 0 minutes of my life wasted; the video and the challenge itself are fascinating
when you actually sit down to watch it, you will genuinely feel upset that its over. even if you run into the event that you understand nothing, you're not gonna be bored during it.
I'm still waiting for the Extended Edition version, the short summary wasn't enough for my Bismuth needs :(
@jmpdev and i tought, there really was a maybe 45min long summary of the 7h series :o :D :D
“Hon, I saw you left your Wii on for three days. I turned it off for you, no need to thank me.”
reminds me that iirc the first attempt to 0x died in bitfs because of a power outage

Your dedication to documenting this team's constant efforts is insane. As always a huge thank you for documenting the ABC
Oh yea
Yes. No A-Button pressed. Only congratulations. No discussion about the pressing techniques!
@@Raybayize which also means no half-a's
oh hey it's the famous henry
Did you hear that the half A press for watch for rolling rocks was saved?
(You probably heard it at least 100 times but I wanted to make sure that you knew)
For anyone who doesn't know, Marbler (supermarble94) was also the first person to get a true full series 100% full combo (on disc songs, 660) of the Guitar Hero series (expert guitar) back in early 2011.
What a fucking legend, "gamer" does not even begin to describe.
Yeah oddballzfrank was the first to get 567/567 but I beat him to the warriors of rock FGFC. I don't actually remember if he ever completed it because I fell off of the face of the earth so quickly after I finished it.
@@supermarble94 what a madman
@@supermarble94 I don't think he did WoR, which is totally understandable having the FSFC before the game released (like early 2010 iirc). The GH bloat was so bad the year prior ('09) and WoR wasn't touted or disclosed as the final (traditional) game so trying to stay on top of FGFCing every new entry probably seemed pretty unappealing, as well as him likely moving on with his life after the early FSFC with nothing much to do in the series.
Unfortunately I heard Frank passed away last year which was really sad, he was always one of the most positive/uplifting people in the community along with of course one of the best.

the Chekov's gun being set up literally years ago with pannen talking about the Wii VC version's rising platforms and, iirc, mostly discussing them as an oddity. chef's kiss.
nice
Chekhov’s Rising Platforms.
Tbh FS rising platform glitch being WiiVC only was a bit disappointing bc people wanted a way to do FS 0xA on original hardware. And before this Marbler actually completed a 2 A press run on N64, one of the A presses being in FS, the other one being at the start of Bits. But once Chuckya Drop was discovered to save the 2nd to last A press..... WiiVC rising plats may not be ideal, but the whole game completed in 0 A presses is just too good a concept to pass up, and it's still on an official Nintendo hardware/release.
@@TwigSM64Archive-fo8yg It won't be completed until it's done on actual N64 though. Emulated hardware relying on messed up calculations doesn't count.
@@kristoffer8609 To me it's good enough because it is official hardware from Nintendo design officially to support this game. It counts. Full stop.
Congrats to Marbler on managing this feat even with major distractions 9:59
Edit: Some of these comments are wild haha. Just to be clear this wasn't intended to be a callout, loved the vid!
wtf bismuth caught being freaky live on twitch ???????
Great catch

I think we're already there.
My favourite quote from the short summary video:
""Mount everest wasnt desing to be climbable, mountains dont care if anyone manages to reach the top or not
Super Mario 64 was never designed to be beaten with 0 A presses
The game doesnt care if its possible... We do.
And until we reach the top... we will keep climbing"""
They did it... They reached the top
MY GOD what a journey
I wonder if it is possible to climb everest without jumping
@@HarryBalzakjust build a bomb and use bloated bomb + hands free glitch. you can climb any slopes with it
@@HarryBalzak I don't think climbers jump many times tbh, so I think it is possible lol
@@Mortimer_RS You are probably right. Especially with those heavy oxygen bottles.
@@Mortimer_RSi think it depends on the definition of jumping
In addition to being the first player to complete the ABC RTA, marbler was also the first player to complete the guitar hero 660 FSFC! Legend of two games
very cool
thats insane actually
What does that mean In guitar hero
get 100% on every song in every game, pretty much.
I can still remember my initial reaction when I was simply Googling something and then the news said along the lines of "Super Mario 64 has finally been beaten in 0 A presses", and I was like "what."
I thought they finally discovered a new Bowser in the Fire Sea strat, but somehow this is even MORE impressive.
There are several times where A is pressed.
Just watch closer, dives and flips require A.
There are several parts where Mario dives for a split moment
@@lilkittygirl so what you're telling me is that this youtuber who put months of research into the ABC, and has made over 5 hours worth of videos on it, wouldn't have noticed this? also, you DO realise they only require being airborne, right?
OH MY GOD IT'S HAPPENING
real, cant chat so i will be here discussing in the comments

23:10 right here after saying he misses, I had accidentally swiped my phone screen and dragged the progress spot to end the video immediately and for a second I just thought that was actually how it ended and I was very upset
Lmaoooo💀
ok but that is funny tho.

The fact this was done before any TAS really makes this special. It was TAS that helped us gain the knowledge we needed to do this in the first place, but it was ultimately human performance that did it. I think if it was a TAS that did it first, it wouldn't be quite as profound. This truly is a monumental moment in gaming history, and I'm honoured to have been alive at the right time to witness it
Finally, a win against that TAS guy
The hilarious part is that TAS was unable to work because the required time was too large to reliably work without a desync, so back to the manual method it was

@@mariotheundying
Humans - 1
TAS mf - uhhh... I don't even want to know
@@csolisr You could program 3 sections of inputs. Manually start the 2nd set of TAS inputs after the first 6 hour wait and again after the 72 hour wait. However, you would need to do this frame perfect, twice. Once if you just do the punching section manually. Actually, now that I think about it, the first resume after the 6 hours wouldn't need to be frame perfect at all. It'll have the correct number of inputs and Mario will end up in the same position.
20:36 The reveal of this tech along with the dramatic piano and funny name is the reason I love this type of video so much, like when Summoning Salt talks about how MrPoppyPantaloni28 dominated the scene for years and such
mrpoopypantaloni28 😂😂😂
"The sub 15 was so close, yet so far. Standing between them and the coveted milestone, was an insane trick, thought to be TAS only, and involving tens of frame-perfect inputs. If there was anyone who could do it, that could only be one person."
Part 5 - the return of the God
*upbeat synthwave music*
"LankySpanky69 started grinding for the Poop Skip on july 6th...."
The console reveal was perfect. The moment you said "i didn't mention WHICH console". 😂
As soon as I saw it was BITFS, I knew it relied on the Wii's inaccurate floating point emulation. Guess I've read way too many Dolphin Emulator blog posts
For the people who had been following the series, it was known before the video started that it would have to be Wii VC, since that's the only version where BitFS is possible. :3
I love how most of the speedrun is just sitting around waiting for the platform to rise. In a run full of so many precise movements at great speed, such a hilariously long stretch of nothing is such a funny contrast yet so typical of these insane speedruns at the same time.

ALSO SUBSCRIBE TO MARBLER RIGHT???
How is it possible that the first way SM64 was beaten 0xA wasn't a TAS. What even is this (also sub to Marbler he's a W)
No it hasn't, only has been spliced but no full game tas exists due to difficulties tassing Wii vc
Unacceptable. Call yourself a writer? You're clearly a sea sponge; no creature with a functioning brain would make a mistake so obvious and integral to the explanation.
_(As I hope is clear, but can never be sure, this is a joke. Bismuth is obviously a cephalopod.)_
Ruined by dumb sponsor
TJ Henry Yoshi would be so proud of how far the ABC crew has come!
An A press is:
@@ramsescampollo2506 An A press
And for once, you don’t need to worry about halves!
I doubt he isn't aware, he still is pretty active in the community.
Let me cut half an A press for you. You deserve it.
Marbler is an animal. He was the first person to get a full combo on the stupid song with a 22 notes per second strumming section in Guitar Hero Van Halen, back in 2010. I'll never be surprised of his level of commitment in other insane projects such as this one.
22:16 “or worse, be expelled”
Wow that's a very nice one, didn't see anyone else comment on it and didn't really notice that Harry Potter reference,it's been a while
How did I miss that?? 😂
Mr. Electric, send him to Cool Cool Mountain and have him expelled!
@@TriforceWisdom64 YOU'RE IN MY PAINTING! Not the other way around!
watched through the premiere. absolutely INCREDIBLE this was done in rta. new strats i had never even heard of and- goddamn chucka drop in real time? human hands? this is an absolutely incredible achievement
This is one of those impossible prophecies that releases an evil into the land right?
"The ancient one will awaken when the Italian plumber collects 70 Stars without jumping."
I mean, “L is Real 2401” turned out to become a prophecy, so it may as well be.
9:52 thought we wouldn’t notice those comments 😅
The fact that he was doing this all on (iirc) 110 milliseconds of input lag is even more impressive.
Holy shit when I saw this I thought they'd just tas'ed the fire sea pole skip. Never in my wildest dreams did I think AN ACTUAL HUMAN HAD DONE THIS
And thus, the ABC speedrunning category was born, can’t wait for the summoning salt video
Ox is like the Boss Alternative Category now haha
dear god...
Hearing that Bismuth can't describe something is terrifying. Like, the magnitude of the action is so vast, it's indescribable.
Aw, this had got my hopes up that the last A press of Bowser in the Fire Sea had been finally saved on N64...
Still knowing there's at least one console where a human can complete the "70 stars in 0 A press" ABC is great.
That bowser in the sky is insane….
In a manner similar to bat feces
we are so back
We find ourselves reflecting,
Finding out,
That in fact,
We came back.
We were always coming back.
I know this is a Bismuth video, not a Jobst video, but Marbler is an ABSOLUTE LEGEND. I knew enough for my jaw to hit the floor when you said he was attempting the Chuckya Drop. And it was somehow still more insane than I was thinking it would be. If that isn't the final boss of RTA ABC, I shudder to think what is.
as another jobst fan, you're right and you should say it!
the freaking Chuckya drop, dear god. The existance of the trick itself is already ridiculous enough, then here comes this absolute myth, this fable of a person. holy guacamoly.
The community has always suspected that explaining ABC run in under 30 minutes with all the major glitches was possible, but this new WR beats that barrier by almost 6 minutes, making me wonder if under-20 might be in our future.
Marbler is a legend for completing this astounding task! Huge GG, it was a blast to follow the completion
Marbler can definitely see what he is doing, a really impressive feat!
3:06 look mom im on tv
seriously though, its so cool to see rtabc get a spotlight on it and have so many people interested in it. also, its nice to actually have my name in a bismuth rtabc video lol. i remember marbler telling me in dms that he was gonna go for 70 in 5 A presses about a year ago and i thought he was crazy, but now we're here. 70 star/any% record matches tas, 120 star sum of best individual star completions is 58, and there are still new A press saves on the table
10:04 bismuth actin sus in the stream chat 😭
[insert the Rock side-eye]
0:43 “short summary”
It’s over 5 hours long and I’ve already watched it twice.
The problem solving ability of the sm64 community always astounds me. No a button challenge with TAS is already complicated enough but finding human viable setups is another level.
my Jaw dropped when i saw his movement on that specific platform in bits... Marbler is a madman for pulling this off
o7 for the chatters who were there live and got an ad right before as he was completing the run
This is the most insane thing I have ever seen in RTA in my life. So few of these strats did I have any idea were REMOTELY feasible outside TAS. This is one for the history books.
WAIT I HAVENT BEEN KEEPING UP! WE DID WHAT? Bravo to pannen and the ABC team. Time to rewatch the full 5 hour video :)
A little different than that. It's on the Wii VC, which was already at 0xA due to the floating point bug causing rising platforms in BitFS.
But what makes this special is that it's not TAS. It's RTA.
This only works on Wii virtual Console. And the A Button Challenge is usually all stars.
@@GammaFn. Impressive. I guess that makes sense. I think the TAS was about 21 hours or so, and the raising platform slows down over time as it approaches the origin point of the level iirc.
wii vc 70 star, not jp n64 120 star.
It's a 0x 70 star RT, not a 0x 120 star TAS
Thank you *_CTRL_* for sponsoring _Bismuth,_ but please let him out of that bag you trapped him in now.
I cant believe these are real names for strategies and not just made up words
This absolute insanity is why I'll always have a huge respect for speedrunners. There's no way I'd be able to comprehend such madness, much less beating SM64 without ever hitting the A button.
holy cow, so many strats that i didnt expect to see outside the TAS. so cool
22:18 "He needs to die [...] or worse, be expelled"
I see what you did there
People who play SM64 without pressing A, beat every SoulsBorne in a row without getting hit, do blind speedruns, etc. are insane. They are maniacs. And they deserve respect, recognition and praise for it.
22:55 Nowhere else but a No A-button challenge could you have two ordinary goombas as a serious final boss.
"aw man my a button broke"
my honest solution:
This is such an amazing achievement! Huge grats to Marbler and everyone who helped out throughout the years, and to Bismuth for covering it. Much appreciated!
Thanks to all the Legends out there that have contributed to the unbelievable feat in the past and ofc especially Marbler for actually doing it as well as Pannenkoek 2012 & Bismuth for making it known to a broader public .
We may live in troubling times, but we also lived long enough to see Tetris get beaten and SM64 completely destroyed RTA, taking the half a-press meme with it to rest for good as part of human history
that's with a lot of video games, there are insane projects where better and faster strats get discovered every day. and for some of them there iss an actual end goal. and after tht it's over
there are still half a presses in 120 star
@@RichConnerGMN and there possibly could forever be some. But as far as "beating the game" goes they're bulletproof not nessesary anymore.
Also, its kinda jokeingly meant, not dead serious. 😄
2:37 "so far removed from something achievable by a human that I can't even begin to describe it"
You cheeky little rascal, you 😜
gotta be fun going for stars without even the half a press, insane
16:48 I didn't realize TAS couldn't emulate Fire Sea correctly. It's truly incredible that an RTA run was completed before a TAS run.
absolutely incredible work from marbler and the whole A button challenge community
words cannot describe how happy I am about this.
A few years ago, I played net64 with my friends and we all played as different characters
I played as the goomba, and you can't jump as a goomba. Then came to me the idea of how far we can go without jumping, like many others before.
I looked online but except for a playthrough of someone beating the game with a few hundred jumps, there was nothing I could find
and then, by luck or by the power of the algorythm, your first 0xa press video came out, and it was the best sm64 video I had ever watched.
not a single upload since then has been disappointing, and even if it isn't truly the end for the ABC crew, this feels like such a high note for a conclusion.
Even if the game is never 100% completed in 0xa presses, it was beaten.
Like you said before, Mt. Everest was not meant to be climbed by humans, but they did it anyway. Despite how insanely hard it was, through sheer power of will and determination, they did it.
i like how almost every star is "one of the hardest stars of the run"
I say it for 4 stars out of 70, which I think is fair.
Mans said it 4 times
Some of them were just the hardest run of that stage
He only showed the hard ones
9:55 bismuth trolling in the chat in his own footage, lmao
Well-explained, right to the main points, no clickbait. Superb work to Marbler and to Bismuth for making this wonderfully edited video. Congrats on making history!
Absolutely insane accomplishment that even beats TAS. Congrats Marbler! It was amazing to see live
after rewatching the ABC video recently, i was looking for a 70 star TAS using the Mupen modification that replicated WiiVC's rounding issue, but unfortunately i couldn't find any. luckily, i got something even better here
i really truly hope this gets the same or similar media coverage as the kid beating Tetris. this is complete insanity 💛 ggs
it's too hard to explain to normies. "So you beat it without using the main way to beat it? Why do I care?"
Tetris, it was "This game was never designed to be beaten, and never was, until now." (And still got that damn Sky News anchor telling him to go outside.)
@@rakaydosdraj8405sm64 ABCers are the equivalent of Newtypes so any publicity and interviewing would be a moral nightmare
All of your previous videos have prepared me for this moment. I was thinking about a couple of diifcult places, but each time I saw the level on front, I understood what was done. It is magical to see people doing runs in console.
My favorite part of the run was when Marbler said "it's marblin' time" and marbled all over those guys
someone in the chat asked him to say that and he said no
@@octi4684nah i can assure you he said it, just not in the bowser fight
"i think the time for marbling is done, i marbled all over bowser" -marbler
It's pretty insane seeing how far this challenge has come from, like how insane players are willing to save a button press. pretty incredible though!
I didn’t even know the TAS could beat it in 0 A presses. I thought that’s what you said in your video. I feel… complete.
The TAS cannot beat 120 star in 0xA. 70 star has been possible for years.
@@themrdoggo yeah but the 80 hours at BitFS, coupled with the Wii's input polling issues, meant that a single TAS run from beginning to end on real hardware hadn't been attained yet.
That’s amazing! I literally just got done watching Marbler’s highlight video where he beat 70 star with 2 A presses. Glad to see him take it a step further, and as always, this was a great analysis of all the strategies it took to meet this milestone. That BitFS displacement trick had to be so stressful, especially when it almost failed!
Loved your long video explaining these and now capping it all off. Great work
13:42 game freak is coming after nintendo for naming those things pokey balls
how is your comment right next to cosmic's comment
That's actually one of the most incredible things done in a videogame EVER... like, WOW 😳
It's crazy to see how far everyone has pushed this challenge, and the fact that this was ACTUALLY pulled off in a real time run. I'm glad you got to cover the whole journey through this!
This is arguably one of the top 5 greatest accomplishments in gaming history, seriously. I wish I could have watched this live, this is unreal dude.
72 hours just for some platforms to very slowly go upwards, that's insane. Also, that Chuckya trick seems to be madness, what an interesting "speedrun" this is.
Me when I look at 3:35 and some really skill-testing stuff that I have previously given up on (using the same strats) is in green
Really makes you weary face emoji
What an incredible achievement. The ABC story shows the dedication of all those involved to complete a completely optional challenge. Congrats to all those who made it possible, and to you Bismuth for documenting the journey.
I can't even describe how amazing this is! More people should be talking about this achievement!
You did an extraordinary video, too!
10:05 the chat lmao
I remember watching each video marbler kept posting rta and it was insane! He is amazing!
Your music makes these videos even more amazing than they already are! Keep up the outstanding work, Bismuth!
Right on time, i’ve been rewatching some of the newest improvements on pannen’s channel & was wondering if we’d get an updated recap from someone of the progress so far
Banger as always
Holy a nearly 33% like to view ratio, Bismuth is doing something right
I wish I could subscribe a second time for this
Woah this run is at 4.5 hours with 49/70 stars, but finishes at 86 hours?? How brutal are these last 21 stars??? Edit: oh I get it, made that comment like 15 seconds too soon lmao
Nice coverage! Great to learn how the hell all these things took place, it’s unbelievable to see the “impossible” ones finally nabbed!
man. what an incredible time to be alive. Pannen is somewhere beaming with pride over this; Marbler is the absolute GOAT. thank you, Bismuth, for top-tier reporting as always; thank you, SM64 community, for making me feel less like a freak about being so invested in potentially one of the weirdest speedrun challenges of all time. 💜
"Check out this short summary video I made on the topic"
I've heard about this, but I never really thought Bismuth is gonna make a video about it
After covering all of the records that matter, you eventually have to cover absolutely stupid, full-on retarded records, too.
Super Mario 64: the game that just keeps on giving even decades after its original release. What an impressive feat. XD
The fact that this is happening so close to the "beating" of Tetris is just crazy
17:05 What is input polling? Also, is this an issue inherent to the Wii, or what the TAS uses to interface with the Wii? Is there any way this could be fixed?
But yeah. What an impossible run. 3 & a half DAYS, on a system where the TAS can't be played, & the RTA is nigh-impossible.
Absolutely incredible! Thanks so much for uploading!
Input polling is when the game reads the controller so it knows the current state of the buttons/analog stick. SM64 on n64 only polls on rendered frames, so every poll needs the next input. The vc emulator polls probably at 60hz, so AFAIK there is no way to know when it lags.
