I don't think any video game character can beat Mario with 24 hours of prep time

[@spootot]

Mario would have spent half that time building up speed

[@alol1551]

Shintroy it would mainly consist of Mario spending 20 hrs placing a HOlP in a precise location, and 4 hours building up speed to perform some crazy glitch to defeat the opponent with 0.5 A presses or something.

[@ThirtyfourEC]

But he needs 12 hours in order to gain enough speed to reach and traverse through parallel universes. The rest could be spend putting down HOIP metal hats, green shells, goombas, and the like. He'd also have access to all of his controls meaning all buttons and presses are allowed This would be a bit OP though so maybe a handicap would be best for balance purposes.

[@SSDARKPIT]

Mario can get enough negative speed that his speed becomes infinity. Can Sonic do that?

[@atavoidturk9025]

[@MrRubix64]

After watching seven or eight of your crazy videos, I finally understand what you did in this one

[@Stormghetti]

Congratulations...! I've yet to understand what exactly happened, but some of it made sense to me.

[@sahuaro]

I´ve seen most of his videos and I still wat most of times

[@DeathChaos]

tl;dr The entire first half of the video is setting up a glitch, that would make the box pop up in a certain angle once he threw it with the hat in hand glitch, which would allow him to gain vertical speed, but that speed alone wasn't enough to get up to the platform, thus he collected 100 coins to spawn the star, because once Mario collects a start he can grab ledges before the star dance animation, but he just skips the climbing animation and just gets onto the platform instantly. And once he finally spent 12 minutes setting up he is able to get onto the platform, continues going up and is able to collect the star. Someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, I'm not entirely sure myself if this is the case.

[@profrezer7164]

*tw;du (too wat; didn't understand)

[@DeathChaos]

tl;dr of the tl;dr He spent the entire first half of the video setting up for a glitch He then collected 100 coins and spawned the 100 coin star in a specific place, then using another glitch, and using the set up from the first half of the video, he made it so that the block would launch at him from a specific angle to push him up into the platform after collecting the 100 coin star.

[@Ninetails2000]

To put it more eloquently, while working on Kazooie, they came up with the idea of Stop n Swap to take advantage of a quirk in the N64 hardware. The models of N64 out at the time would hold data in memory and continue to function without the cartridge for about twelve seconds, plenty of time to swap out cartridges for the feature to work. However, about the time they started on Tooie, Nintendo produced a new hardware model for the N64 that only held data in memory for about a second after taking out the cartridge, which made the whole thing infeasible.

Couldn't you just rewrite the controls to make something else jump?

that pause buffer at the end sheeit

[@christophercatoe3410]

Cammi Davidson that actually wasn't a pause buffer. in TAS if you have the same mapped for multiple frames then it just counts as holding the button in game. pausing allows this to be overlooked so he could have the same input two frames in a row.

[@effective.powerh7885]

ohh! so he paused but it isnt considered a buffer? im a lil confused bhahaha

[@christophercatoe3410]

Pause buffering is only pause buffering if it's utilizedi guess. So you wouldn't really say he pause buffered anything. If you're still confused then join the club. I'm a lil fuzzy on all this myself too but that's the gist of it.

[@deivore3438]

Pause buffering is using a pause menu buffer an event, usually a button being pressed. The buffering means that you input something that doesn't do anything immediately, but that input is being ignored until it does do something. In Ocarina of Time for example, you can use the A button while moving around or in the menu, but while the menu itself is animating opening and closing the A button usage isn't tracked. This means that although the animation of the game draws stuff every frame, as far as the physics and input knows, you instantly go from the pause menu back to the main part of the game. A lot of stuff will only happen when the button is first pressed (otherwise you could hold A to jump as soon as you hit the ground in Mario), and the only way the input knows if you pressed the button just now is if the button wasn't pressed the last time it checked. Remember how the input in OoT thinks you instantly go from pause to unpause, when it actually takes a while? If you start holding the A button during that transition, that input carries over (or is buffered) to the first physics frame when you're back in the action. Pause buffering is done largely in non-TAS speedruns to give them extra time to hit a difficult input.

[@guy-eg2yd]

Thanks man ive been stuck on this level for so long

[@Zeldon567]

6:31 Nice save.

[@emoimo4171]

... What save? Everything he did there was completely intentional.

[@Zeldon567]

Emo Imo I mean, I wouldn't of though of doing that.

[@Pikopati]

Despite the miss. This shows an amazing accuracy to deliver. Good job.

[@moth.monster]

I couldn't even beat this level as a kid...

[@moth.monster]

***** Yeah.

[@Chaosfly10]

+Kinkzoz You would have to have been in super early childhood like 3 or 4. Even for the first time of a 3d platformer it wasn't hard

[@moth.monster]

VictinisClaw I probably was.

[@moth.monster]

+itskennyandjosh yeah

[@SkicoNow]

yeah.

[@chainchump]

Wow, this is fantastic! Major congrats for completing this in 0 presses. You're one incredible guy, I love all your videos :D

[@redtaileddolphin1875]

After watching a bunch of your videos, I feel like I actually understand what's going on here. All except for that pausing towards the end, actually, which I have no clue why you do that. Anyone care to explain?

[@owenfrazier5209]

If you press a button (not THE a button) on two consecutive frames, the game just thinks you are holding the button. But, if you press->pause->press, the game knows you are pressing the button twice. So, you can artificially spam faster!

[@redtaileddolphin1875]

+Owen Frazier ugh, how did I forget that, I actually watched his video on pausing too I can't believe myself >:-(

[@CuteLittleLily]

After watching your struggle in chronological order. Damn you finally did. What a mad lad

[@tor2840]

all these people confused about what you did, but all i want to know is; what does the a button do?

[@boynedmaster]

jump

[@jonas-nn4bx]

Can I use HOLPs set up at my light switch so I never need to get up and flick it? Using the pendulums motion, it should be possible to turn the lights on and off, as long as I never pick up anything after that?

[@guido2379]

Me: Do you want to play mario 64 with me? pannenkoek: Yes! Me: But theres a Problem the A Buotten doesn't work. pannenkoek: No Problem. I can do it without.

[@YounesLayachi]

HOLY moly the amount of work in this video ! and I thought I was good and crazy in mario games

[@AseriousMatter]

How long did it take to learn everything about this game? Like, to be precise in everything you do, to know how enemies react to what. You probably know more then the developers of this game! xD this is crazy as F***.

[@bluemew22]

They're still finding new shit. Look up the $1000 bounty video & be wowed over the one tool we know of which the mighty koek does not yet possess. This comment does not use the forbidden button.

[@dultzywaltzy]

“Back in my day, we didn’t have an A button”

[@porygonlover322]

If you ever decide to go back and comment on your old videos, I think this would be a really good one. There's a lot of tricks going on.

[@filispeed_0111]

Dude, I dont know whats crazier, this TAS or your mind to think of it!

[@OwnageCubed]

when ur a button doesnt work so you need to figure out how to play without it

[@Cornbinks]

At 6:35, you got the world's first confirmed breakdance kick kill in SM64, and didn't even get coins for it.

[@LuigiTheMasterJEGGaming]

I can't even do this mission in under 20 A presses.

[@Reisen_Inaba]

Why not? Run across the bridges, jump up the stairs one at a time, two jumps up the elevator, side jump onto the fortress and I'm pretty sure you can just jump them one at a time from there. I went to try it myself just now and saved the stair jumps by diving into the tree, using one jump to get to the elevator. Didn't know how to get the star without jumping so it took me a total of 11. With more side jumps I could probably do it in like 8?

[@LuigiTheMasterJEGGaming]

Huh.

[@Sypaka]

I do that in 3.

[@TDRR_Gamez]

5-3 Usually, but only on keyboard, since trying to frame-walk in real time sucks dick.

[@sliver170]

I love how huge the description gets depending on the number of weird glitches used.

[@Liam9787]

But I thought you had to press A and then B to do the dive?...

[@pannenkoek2012]

Katch A Taco I press B to dive and B to recover from the dive. A also works for the dive recover, but I used B to do it.

[@thiagovidal6137]

Katch A Taco If you press B while running you do the dive. You don't necessarily need to jump to make the dive.

[@ona512]

7:31 don't you have to press for the dialogue box?? or do presses in dialogue boxes not count?

[@zahrannahyan9666]

press B not A

[@4212luigi]

YES PANNENKOEK!! I KNEW YOU COULD DO IT!! :DDD

[@kylehennkens9578]

Pannenkoek: for if you want to complete a star by doing an hour's worth of glitchy work in a seperate level and spawning and collecting a sepearate star in the same level

[@SuicidalBanana]

pannenkoek2012 1. Hack your controller 2. Rebind A to something you dont need 3. ??? 4. Profit

[@Kiptytude]

it's already bound to something he doesn't need. It's the Jump button.

[@groszak1]

He needs that for BitFS pole.

[@alexrector2150]

Rebind to L. It doesn't do anything.

[@mathphysicsnerd]

This is one I'd love to hear a commentary on, especially regarding the timing and angle of the box throws from the HOLP.
