This sounds like one of those playground rumors. "Oh yeah you gotta stand in the right spot here and then throw a koopa shell and then you do spin jump and that's how you unlock luigi", You have to be at this specific spot or it won't work".

[@revwamira2648]

The rumour going around when I was a kid was that you can unlock Luigi by selecting 2 Player mode. Joking aside, I had a couple friends who would spout rumours like this one. :P

[@TheLegendJet]

>Open Bus >Get in >Drive away clueless

[@DoomRater]

That somewhat accurately sums up what happens if you trigger this glitch without setting it up exactly.

[@otesunki]

DoomRater how?

[@DoomRater]

The way this glitch works is it triggers a jump to unstable RAM. If things aren't set up close to 100% perfectly the code will run into unstable commands or jump to places where it will just get stuck. Hence "drive away clueless".

[@otesunki]

DoomRater lol I get it now!

Thanks again for the video, and keep it up!

[@RyanFaeScotland]

Very nice explanation, saving the time on the turtle shells by reading the 4 controllers instead was pretty genius. Nice graphic as well, even if half the viewers probably think the KZbin video has glitched out! Cool to see how much the program counter jumps about in normal flow.

[@AssemblyWizard]

[@cntm51]

I like this explanation, and I watched a lot of KZbinrs explain this... I liked this one a lot.. Nice Job.

These sort of extremely technical glitch methods for speedruns are probably my favorite. Such deep analysis required, in addition to the sort of perfect movements required by traditional strategies.

I'll admit, even though I didn't understand almost everything you said, I was still fascinated because it shows how much work goes into coding a videogame!

[@segadoeswhatnintendont]

This is nothing compared to Majora's mask speedruns

[@AmronFortis]

"The original machine had a base plate of prefabulated amulite, surmounted by a malleable logarithmic casing in such a way that the two main spurving bearings were in a direct line with the panametric fan. The latter consisted simply of six hydrocoptic marzlevanes, so fitted to the ambifacient lunar waneshaft that side fumbling was effectively prevented. The main winding was of the normal lotus-o-deltoid type placed in panendermic semi-boloid slots in the stator, every seventh conductor being connected by a nonreversible tremmie pipe to the differential girdlespring on the "up" end of the grammeters."

[@SuperFromND]

VERY late, but here's my attempt at an ELI5 version: The SNES is told what to do using numbers. The SNES also stores information using numbers. You can modify certain information by doing stuff in the game and trick the SNES into reading information numbers as instruction numbers.

[@RyanFaeScotland]

Check out his 1 1/2 hour interview with MitchFlowerPower, that is basically what that is.

[@marioisawesome8218]

In a nutshell, he puts objects in certain locations to make the game look at code where it shouldn't be looking which causes a warp to the credits.

[@8bit_pineapple]

For a rough idea dotsarecool has a good video explaining the old route called "Super Mario World Credits Warp Explained". Allot of the video is still relevant e.g. explaining the open bus. But... if you really want to have a really good idea, you'd probably want to first start out by getting familiar with coding in assembly languages. You could start out by downloading 32bit "Microsoft Assembler (MASM)" and following some tutorials and later writing your own programs. You should also be able to find lectures on assembly on KZbin. From there, by googling "65c816 Reference" you can find the instruction set for the snes. And then, googling "SMW Central - RAM Map", you'll find a handy table with comments for what every memory address in RAM of SMW is responsible for. After that you'll probably still need to research further into whatever parts you're still unsure on that just look like black magic e.g. The open bus.

Interesting! I really liked the way you showed the processor's memory, I wonder what it would look like if you made the same visualizer, but for a modern-day computer? The image may end up just looking like random noise or even a big grey image, but it would be neat to see any patterns that emerge due to the way computers work. Of course, if someone were to do this, they should make it an offline program, because showing such an image on a KZbin video could lead to privacy leaks and possibly even accidental piracy and copyright issues.
