Waiting for a cosmic ray to flip a bit to spawn a paper airplane is true commitment to the legitimate 100%

[@foxx_plague805]

I think I've seen you somewhere before 🤔

[@Bigjar420]

Can u explain pls?

[@muf1nl0rd]

@@Bigjar420 long ago, there was a teleportation glitch in Mario 64 discovered by a speedrunner that had never been seen anywhere in the game before. There was a bounty for the glitch, with a money prize for whoever successfully recreated it. But then, as it turns out, the glitch was caused by... *a cosmic ray from outer space!?* Sometimes the radiation of outer space can cause some glitches to occur in machinery by flipping a bit of the ones and zeros in the code, and that cosmic ray was exactly how Mario somehow teleported in that speedrun. Crazy shit

[@banana9494]

@@muf1nl0rd How did they prove that was the cause? There are so many ways for computer hardware to accidentally flip a bit, and cosmic ray seems like an extremely unlikely way lol. I'd love to know more about how they figured this out.

[@WasabiKitCat]

@@banana9494 afaik cosmic rays were just a theory, all that we know about what happened is that it was a random glitch seemingly caused by nothing and couldn't be reproduced. So presumably what happened is that a bit randomly got flipped, which could be caused by many things, but cosmic rays actually can cause that and it's apparently not super uncommon. According to google, cosmic radiation, fluctuations in power, and fluctuations in temperature are the most common causes of bit flips. You'd think it'd be super rare but cosmic radiation hits us all the time, apparently 5% of our annual radiation exposure is from cosmic rays (also according to google, im not a scientist lol). So yeah cosmic rays are as good a theory as anything else.

I did the same thing with Animal Crossing: New Leaf. I never told anyone about it besides my brother. It was an incredible journey for me! I dropped the game a few years ago due to having nothing to do in it anymore. I never time traveled (besides to collect the New Year's items, of course), because I wanted to play the game how it was meant to be played, because that's how I enjoyed it! I used to be a heavy time traveler back in my GameCube days lol! Much respect to you and thanks for sharing!! It took me 4 years to accomplish this, even with help from trading/selling/buying with people on The Bell Tree Forums occasionally. Well, actually, I didn't completely 100% it yet lol, but that is by choice. I may do it eventually! I am only missing 3 gold badges (the StreetPass one, the town host one, and the town traveler one). And I also never collected 999,999,999 bells, I only have (only, heh!) around 130,000,000 at the moment. This video may inspire me to do the last little bit to 100%! Again, thank you for sharing!!

The pure attention to detail and effort put in by the developers of this game is truly incredible.

Animal Crossing GC is easily within my top 5 games of all time.

[@SlyCooperReloadCoded]

I've seen a lot of people doubt the legitimacy of this since it came out, so let me say a few things to contradict these claims: 1. He never modified the game at all, nor did he use cheating devices. 2. Changing the date is a dev-intended option in the game, and therefore not cheating. Additionally, since the game only supports dates up to the end of 2030, playing the game date-accurate will eventually be impossible, meaning that time travelling will be the only way to play without game modifications. 3. While the stalk market RNG tool seems illegitimate, it doesn't modify the game. Saying that's cheating is like saying a classmate doesn't deserve an A+ grade on their literature test because they not only read the book, but contacted the author to see what they were thinking when writing the book. ANYONE could've reverse-engineered what Cuyler did, that's not illegitimate either, that's a skill issue for anyone complaining. 4. Part of "legitimately" is full video proof. If you say "oh yeah I did this one time" and don't provide full video proof, that's not legitimate, even if it really happened. I've eve seen some really heartwarming examples of people completing this challenge earlier in their lives, and they might as well be true, but since there's not full video proof, it's only legitimate to the people that were present for the whole thing, not legitimate period. Look at speedrunning for example. It's 2024, legitimacy doesn't use playground rules, and hasn't since the early 2000s. 5. Unused/dummy items can and sometimes will randomly appear, even if you've never used cheats or hacks. Anyone who says otherwise has literally no idea what they're talking about. 6. The save copying/fixing happened on a Wii that wasn't a part of the challenge, it's completely seperate.

I'd love to know more about how corruption works in this game. Weird how that pattern was affected! I'm...kind of scared of my yellow pinstripe now. xD A few comments and questions that came to mind throughout the video: - With SMB and TLoZ being basically the only items you haven't obtained, is there a possibility for Wisp to give you those items now? What does Wisp even do now that there are no new catalogueable items to give you? - OK, I can't necessarily say you 100%'d "Punch-Out!!" because it has a literal campaign to go through unlike most of the NES games (compare with Super Mario Bros. -- you couldn't just beat the first world and call it 100%'d!). - I never noticed that the icon in the calendar is a keyhole! I always thought it was just a player icon, like shoulders and hand. Mind has been blown. - Now that you're basically the premier expert on AC rarities, I'd love to see you do some videos on things most players would never see outside of their casual experience. For example, the villagers tell you not to remove the memory card while saving. But what happens...if you do? 👀Do you get special dialogue? Does the GameCube catch on fire? In summary...thanks for sharing your experience! I'm so glad you were able to document all this for the record. Excited to see what else you accomplish. I expect there's still plenty for you to do in the world of Animal Crossing...even after 100%'ing it.

[@Minty_Meeo]

Cuyler is a legend.

i had no idea how much stuff there was in this game, between items, all the nes games, codes, gba island etc. ive never played this one but i’ve always wanted to. congrats on 100%ing!

[@stonkman9630]

Im currently working on 100% Animal Crossing New Leaf and its cool to see that there is a whole community on this. Great job! 👍

[@springboing]

did you get the DUMMY item (a floating white triangle with a japanese character on it) from the igloo minigame?

[@BrianMp16]

Yes, this is the only way to legitimately get a DUMMY thanks to a programming oversight

[@ToaderTheToad]

It's really cool that you're still planning on playing Billions, if I had an AC town like that, I'd probably play it, too, to be honest By the way, are you ever planning on getting the e+ stuff? There's not a lot, it'd probably come a lot faster than the hundreds of hours you spent getting all the items in English AC (Though I mean, obviously, with an achievement this big, you definitely don't have to do it, but it's a neat thing to do if you're looking for more to do) Now that I think about it, Doubutsu no Mori has a few exclusive items, but the hardware would be harder to get unless you already have an N64, in which case both e+ and DnM are about $20-30 (Of course, you'd also have to import a Japanese GCN or use an exploit on your existing GCN to play e+) And like I said, don't have to do this, this is still an amazing feat. Great job!

this is so impressive and thorough and i really hope u go down in gaming history

[@c-eazy5031]

Insanely underrated video in my opinion. This is insanely epic, mate.

[@KaceyTime]

as someone who loves reverse engineering as a concept and is doing their best to get into it, seeing the efforts of one of my favorite games have come a long way in recent years is very inspiring. loved the vid, the immense drama with the corruption was unreal. congrats on the run.

[@Roguskii]

i don't comment on videos anymore but i had to here because this literally so impressive and deserves the extra support ☺️☺️

[@spreadwuvokay]

Deez nuts deserve extra support

[@pricelessmakoa4482]

Great job for setting a goal, sticking to it, and accomplishing it. Much respect

[@carleo9854]

Coming next: all villager photos;) chapeau to such great commitment, love the game and your good commentary

[@Xhalonick]

you really are the AC legend

[@Phailsku]

Absolutely incredible

[@ChronoSquare]

I started new leaf in the winter. Starting off my house with those snowman and ice sets makes them slightly higher in sentimental cozy value, imo. Cool to see the OG snowman set in action.

[@Glacier_Nester]

Glad the algorithm is picking this up, you deserve it for all that work! 100% speedruns with time travel is wild enough, let alone all this!

[@andrewhanson1180]

Bold claim of yours considering most of us don’t record ourselves

[@holeinoneluigi4783]

Still absolutely incredible beyond words though! I nearly 100%'d Animal Crossing: New Leaf a few years ago but never recorded myself. I'm only missing 999,999,999 bells and like 3 gold badges, everything else I 100%'d, that's including all DLC and Welcome Amiibo items. I have a legitimate 100% catalog on my save file, on my first and only town in the game!! I even kept spare items for myself! I dropped the game a few years ago because I had almost nothing to do in it anymore!

[@Loki-]

The argument is that it's the first recorded one. Pics or it didn't happen, essentially.
