SM64 - Simultaneous Events Glitches

Many glitches in Super Mario 64 (as well as in video games in general) are caused by performing two different events simultaneously. In other words, sometimes when you perform two events together, the result is different from if you performed the events one at a time. This is because the game programmers neglected to test this edge case, since under normal circumstances these two events would virtually never coincide. That's why when you have the events together, you foil the game programmers intentions and create an outcome that should never have been possible. In this video, I show as many of these examples as I could think of.

[@thereisnonegoodbutgodjohn363]

on the topic of Soul. Have you ever lied even once, stolen anything, used God’s name in vain, looked with lust or worse sexual sins? Then you’re not a good person in God’s eyes and in danger of the judgement of God which will send you to hell (a terrible place of pain and sadness FOREVER & EVER & EVER & EVER….). Remember God is the Holiest such that one small lie will induce his severe wrath. Good news is Jesus died on the cross and rose from the dead so that you may receive forgiveness of AALL YOUR SINS (No matter how bad or how many). But you aren’t forgiven unless you REPENT OF YOUR SINS & BELIEVE IN JESUS AS YOUR GOD (repentance means turning from sin and doing your absolute best not to do it again, also ask Jesus to rid you of addictions that you’re struggling to shake away-James 4:7). God has blessed us with Great food to eat (kings in the past don’t eat like we do today), shelter, freedoms, fun, medicine, pets to enjoy their company, friends, nice music to listen to and many more things to enjoy. Yet we don’t give him thanks, blaspheme his HOLY name etc God wants to give the free gift of eternal life (9999999999999999999999999… years of extreme happiness) but we need to humble ourselves and turn from our wicked way. Believe in Jesus (God wants to have a relationship with you-like a father and his children). Thanks for reading this message & let me know if you have any questions. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpevf5Z4mr1-mrs ReV 22: 12 “And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work. 13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the [f]Beginning and the End, the First and the Last.” 14 Blessed are those who [g]do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city. 15 [h]But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie.

After hours of testing this is what I've come up with so far: Getting grabbed by Mario + Holding a Mario clone = You get stuck in mid air Killing the Mystery Goomba + Collecting the Impossible Coin = You hold a fake pannenkoek12 Starting the level already holding A + reading the description before commenting to ask = Become QPU misaligned Speedrunning Super Mario 64 + having a neutrino hitting your game cartridge = TTC_Upwarp Having Demo Mario collect a star + Yoshi falling off the Roof = Game freezes

Technically, it couldn't be a neutrino, they don't interact electromagnetically. You mean a cosmic ray.

It's pretty tricky to do non-TAS, and a lot of things undo it, so it's hard to speed run with it. I'm pretty sure the 100% TAS uses it in the THI 100 coins star though.

[@meduckie1143]

It does, honestly. Search up some of it's glitches.

[@nojjon2985]

I know there's tons, but I still think SM64 has more. It's a platformer, which allows for more speed and height related stuff which fucks up everything you can reach quicker than it loads. It's also tons easier to do lots of SM64 glitches because it's so broken.

[@meduckie1143]

Noj Jon Good point, Mario 64 is more crazy for glitches. Look at pannenkoek's 0x A button press series. The fact that you can complete levels without the a button is indeed wacky. But I wouldn't be against someone doing a OoT version of some of these videos.

I think this sort of explains why a glitch I found happens in one of my games. If you use a particular weapon which is seen as a negative action a race likes to take over their one of their planets, something they hate unless it's by trade, the game tries to add and subtract relationship score at the same time, thus, nothing happens, and your score remains unchanged.

[@Jamesthe1]

That last one was hilarious. I want to try it so badly.

[@Not_Piro]

There's also another glitch where you grab a cork box from Bomb-omb's Battlefield, and going under the bridge, get enough distance (preferably the back of the wall where you can't grab the bridge) and run and jump into the bridge. Mario goes into a sort of a falling state, and immediately grab onto the bridge. The cork box stays by Mario's hand as if he's holding it, and moved along with his right hand. This ends the moment you let Mario stand still for a frame. Combine it with it Wing Cap, and you can fly around with a box. Just move off the bridge while hanging onto it and immediately jump again to be able to keep it in your hand

[@whatisthis2809]

[@fourtyseven2512]

Can you clone the chain chomp?

[@pannenkoek2012]

CocoaMix86 Unfortunately, no. Chain chomp himself is loaded right when you enter the level, and unloads when you free him. So there's no way to load him while you're in the course, which is a necessary requirement for cloning.

[@CocoaMix86]

pannenkoek2012 is King Bobomb loaded right away too?

[@pannenkoek2012]

CocoaMix86 Yup. Most things are. In fact, king bob-omb doesn't unload either, he just kind of turns invisible where he is.

[@ZeldagigafanMatthew]

pannenkoek2012 Is he loaded on any other star?

[@inwencja2009]

King Bob-omb is loaded in not every star. You can either clone his pivot or his chains, but not his post. (I refer to Chain Chomp)
