SM64 - 1-Up Mushroom Checkpoint Locations

[@Ukiby3000]

Some of these are just so arbitrary like "Oh yeah, if you touch these two corners of the room you get a life" like honestly Nintendo

[@Starguy256]

+Ukiby3000 To be fair, lives in this game are nearly pointless anyway.

[@toafloast1883]

Also, not to forget, since this was one of the first 3d platformers, they didnt know much about "exploration" at that time. Nor did they have the tech to actually add too much adventure.

[@F0nkyNinja]

They should've really put coins there.

[@internet1531]

Ukiby3000 4:10 is the most ridiculous in my opinion.

[@Terkzorr]

@@Starguy256 Thank god lives are a trend that died out in the early to mid 2000s. A pointless remnant of the arcade era that should've never been introduced to home gaming in the first nplace.

[@Lugmillord]

... ...no way... ...I played this game to death and thought I knew everything (that the developpers inteded). But I really didn't know that 1-up at 1:57. I'm actually shocked o.O and 5:30, too. Man, excited over SM64 all over again.

[@nin10doadict]

+Lugmillord I just checked: That one at 1:57 isn't in the DS version. It's so cryptic even the developers forgot about it...?

[@morphious86.]

No wonder you didn't find those two, they're just simply dumb... I mean, I guess it's kind of cool that it rewards you for trying to explore the four corners of a room, but just touching two corners of not even an actual room is just plain stupid...

[@OctaHeart]

Lugmillord There's also a secret one if you punch a wall in the tower in Whomps Fortress (Mission 2 or later)

[@kkmac7247]

@@OctaHeart but that has a small visual cue

[@Gamebuster21]

Very interesting! Some of these 1-ups are so well hidden, that it make me wonder just how many players have found them.

[@ThisAlias]

Gamebuster I found every one except the one close to the two pillars in the cellar in the castle

[@ToastyOs]

ahh I always wondered what exactly made the 1-up appear at the end of the secret slide!!!!

[@yoshibeara3446]

i was just close to the wall running forward and touched them

[@kaleyutz474]

I like how you're ripping this game apart at the seams to extract every possible bit of knowledge from its code. It's very satisfying to watch.

You made a video about this?! I just wish I had seen the signs coming!

You should do a challenge to get the lowest possible object count in each loadable area of each course.

[@fernando98322]

These checkpoints placements are so genius... Like I always though climbing the entire tree spawns the 1-up, that's why it does not spawn when you jump to the top. And the circle of coins of BoB... One would think running around the circle collecting all coins spawns the extra life. And it turns out only 4 coins are necessary but still, the developers EXPECT you to run around the circle. That is why is so genius

[@parkercc]

6:30 has something to say about your comment.

[@neehgurg2111]

fernando98322 yeah... That's how every game ever created is programmed... The developers always tricks you into thinking you have to do something in order to accomplish something else when really you wouldn't. It's not really that amazing and genius.

[@Varooooooom]

@@neehgurg2111 way to be a sourpuss. it’s pretty genius in that it people who aren’t game designers wouldn’t realize how minimally the game is programmed. it feels intuitive how you ought to acquire the 1-ups, but the mechanism underlying it is much simpler. for someone who’s new to this idea, it feels like getting pranked almost in a really awesome way. no need to be so shitty about it.

[@robdavideogamer4119]

So what dictates that a 1-up flies into you or starts roaming? Is every 1-up just pre-programmed to act a certain way?

[@bzsmm1979]

yep

[@dustinbates4489]

These are like mini-missions

[@pannenkoek2012]

let's see, I'll try my best! -through the walls: I mean some walls just aren't programmed very well, and there are gaps between two surfaces where Mario can enter straight through. -pole glitch: I've seen it, but have no clue how it's done. You should ask a TAS'er. -bobombs don't respawn: Bobomb's are only active when you are close to them. If one falls down, it will be below the course and not near you, so it won't fall anymore or explode until you go near that spot.

[@gemstonegynoid7475]

Haha. Nowadays you're considered one of the biggest sm64 tasers

[@katari8604]

@@gemstonegynoid7475 haha I also thought of that when I read it. It only took him 4 years to pop off so much. All these weird secrets reviewed with cheats/tools really sparked something in him.

[@craftlofer9974]

Someone killed the mystery goomba and the coin dropped, so I think it still possible to kill him somehow?

[@ImSquiggs]

I really enjoy your videos man. I can tell how much you love this game and how much effort you put into understanding it completely. You have a lot of information that no one else has (trust me, I've watched way too many SM64 videos) and it's really exciting for me to be able to watch through these and learn new stuff in every video when I thought I understood almost everything in this game. Thanks for all the time and effort you put into these, they're a great resource and very entertaining at the same time.

[@Gensokian]

Shame on you if you gameover now

[@pannenkoek2012]

-invisible walls: I'm not sure WHY they're there. Sometimes it's pretty annoying, but sometimes I like them because they aid in holding objects hands free! -Mr I: I mean his detection isn't that good. It has a short range and a pretty exact spot, so if you're not trying that hard to be detected, you may not get it easily.

[@Renteks-]

Hey, now you do know why they're there!

[@rubixc1287]

Is it possible to clone the checkpoints?

[@rat-slugger]

Probably, but first, we need to talk about parallel universes.

[@TastySalamanders]

Well even if they do it appears some of them are in levels with loading points, i.e. 4:51 the checkpoint in the clam from Dire, Dire Docks and 5:09 the checkpoints in the downtown area of Wet-Dry World. Those should be clonable.

[@ThisAlias]

Yes I think you can clone a spawner or checkpoint, I don't think they spawn with the stars and never unload

[@Nightcaat]

What is Bob-omb Birthday Party?

[@andredominguez3199]

All mushroom checkpoints: 12 A presses A presses 1, 2, 3, 4 to reach the the checkpoints below the castle's bridge. A press 5 to reach the checkpoint in the RJB room A press 6 to reach the secret aquarium A press 7 to reach WMotR A press 8 to get past the pole in BitFS A press 9 to reach TTC A press 10 to reach the pole in TTC A press 11 to get past the pole in TTC A press 12 to reach RR (I'm not sure if you can't reach the 6:06 1-up 0X, so i didn't count that)

[@Kevin-wx7wu]

Why does the 1-up mushroom has a invisible checkpoint?

[@herisruns]

there should be a speedrun category to get 100 lives as quickly as possible. i wonder if it's faster to collect 1-ups and coins in the early levels. or to get 120 stars and meet yoshi

[@0DRONZER]

what emulator are you using? and wich version are you using?

[@Whitefright]

I see what you did there

[@prexot2341]

And I thought some Korok seeds were hard to find.

[@powder7784]

also, i have a little list of things that i dont really understand in this game (maybe it would be interesting if you explain a few of them): - glitching through walls (in THI through the mountain to enter wigglers cave, in WF through the brown stones into the water, in TTM for the waterfall warp) - pole glitch in 2nd bowser level - why bombs in TTM sometimes dont respawn - why there are so many invisible walls - why mr. I sometimes looks at you and sometimes not

[@Blucario90]

Could we see the checkpoints of the four pillars in SSL?

[@Varooooooom]

Man, I remember when there was once a TAS competition in BitFS that required collecting all 1-ups in the level, and TASers at the time didn’t know about the checkpoints on the ramp nor how to activate that hidden 1-up. They just knew it existed. My god, how times have changed since then.

[@notto5937]

They removed a lot of these in SM64DS, which is unnecessary and kind of disappointing...

[@powder7784]

your videos are great! could you maybe explain why that waterfall warp in TTM works and how to get the 1 up from the butterflies outside the castle and in WF? i can get the 1 up from the butterflies in TTM and THI but here i have problems getting them. anyways: keep up your good work (cant believe how much effort you put into these videos)!

[@ianmathwiz7]

What do these checkpoints' hitboxes look like?

[@cemstrumental]

you forgot one... : right behind the wall before the slide (at 5:23) , go right and you'll get an 1-up too... I know, it's not an checkpoint, but hey, it's an object too. going left gives you an coin btw.

[@bubby649]

Is it also possible that you can just extend your sm64 rom and open it up with toad's tool 64 ? You can see all of the objects used with toad's tool 64, and for the secret checkpoint activations it will say "Trigger for 1-up Mushroom". Can you use toad's tool 64 to find every single one of the secret checkpoint locations for 1-up mushrooms ?

[@tomaszubiri4588]

[@robertvolgman6590]

[@MPSpecial]

Some of them are so cryptic, I was more likely to get a 1-up by dancing around an emu under a full moon during an even day than doing most of these

Can all of these be used for a red coin challenge? I remember reading that there were 4 or 5 known possible levels...

hey pannenkoek2012 im your #1 fan and i might know how to kill the mystery goomba. if there is a cheat to clone mario we could have 1 mario load the goombas and the other drop a bob-omb and jump down with it! if of course both mario can load things.

[@Subscribetomynewchannel]

and if there was a multiplayer mod 1.3 soon maybe both mario and luigi could load enemys
