SM64 - Jolly Roger Bay 100 Coins & Red Coins on the Ship Afloat - 1x A Presses [OUTDATED]

THIS VIDEO IS OUTDATED - SEE A BETTER VERSION OF THIS VIDEO HERE:
• JRB 100 Coins 0xA
I collect both the 100 coin star and the star Red Coins on the Ship Afloat in Jolly Roger Bay using 1 A press. Individually, the 100 coin star requires 1 A press, and Red Coins on the Ship Afloat requires 1 A press. That makes a total of 2 A presses, whereas collecting them together only requires 1 A press. Thus, I recommend combining these two stars, as it is the optimal strategy.
This video is an improvement from my previous video in which I collected these stars in 2 A presses. You can find that video here: • SM64 - Jolly Roger Bay... . Since then, Tyler and I worked out a way to ground pound the blue coin block without needing to press A. You see, we had known for a while that a goomba bounce could be used to ground pound the blue coin block, though it seemed impossible to lure goombas far enough [ • JRB Goomba Idea ]. We knew we could lure goombas a bit by repeatedly knocking into them, but this required too much health to be used in practice [ • JRB Blue Coin Block GP... ]. Fortunately, Tyler came along and analyzed the code behind goombas' behavior, and realized that there were ways to exploit their behavior to extend their chase sequence. By doing so, Tyler was able to make goombas walk further away from their home than they normally would [ • JRB Goomba Chase Exten... ]. Seeing Tyler's progress and hearing his explanation of the exploit, I played around with it myself and ultimately worked out a technique that saved the A press [ • JRB Ground Pounding Bl... ].
Here is how the goombas' code works: When Mario gets close to a goomba, it will notice him and then chase after him. This chase ends when any of the 3 following conditions are met:
(1) the goomba moves too far away from its home
(2) Mario moves too far away from the goomba's home
(3) Mario moves too far away from the goomba
During a chase, the goomba's target angle is towards Mario, and the goomba turns to try and face this target angle. However (and this is where things get complicated), there are 3 situations that "extend" the chase:
(1) when the goomba walks into a ledge
(2) when the goomba walks onto a steep slope or into a wall
(3) when the goomba collides with another goomba
When any of these occur, the goomba's target angle is recalculated (using complicated equations that aren't too important for this discussion). Thus, the target angle is no longer being set to towards Mario - instead, it will just stay constant, unless another chase extension is performed. Following a chase extension, the goomba will just turn towards its target angle, and once it reaches this angle, then the chase stops.
Upon reading this behavior, you may have realized just how we can exploit it. We simply need to have the goomba chase Mario, then extend the chase, and then repeatedly extend it so that the goomba's facing angle never actually reaches its target angle. In other words, the goomba will constantly be turning towards its target angle, but we have the goomba keep bumping into things that cause this angle to change, and so it never manages to face its current target angle and instead just keeps chasing forever. This is precisely what I do in the video to move a goomba all the way to the blue coin block. Using a rock's steep slope and a wall, I extend Goomba A's chase to move it far away from its home. Then, using a rock's steep slope, a wall, and Goomba A, I extend Goomba B's chase all the way to the blue coin block!

Its crazy to think this game is 20 years old.

[@christopherclantz5005]

Almost 25 now

[@beck64]

Are you a programmer? You clearly have a good understanding of the game's programming, but it seems like it's more than that. Keep this shit up, man. I'm a programmer and a speed runner of SM64 so your channel is my jammmm.

[@jeremymontel6010]

me when I see the swimming parts cool cool when he starts sliding up walls *HUH* *HOW HE DO THAT*

[@salt_3102]

You earned a sub for being so awesome. Glitches, and more.

[@PlushSM64]

The grinding on the ship looked cool

[@pannenkoek2012]

Plush Well, I made this whole video just to show that bit of swag

[@brianpso]

So good man, so good.

[@slowfreq]

do you have ANY theories on how to save this A press? even really really theoretical? i cannot imagine how you could save this one

[@pannenkoek2012]

If we could gain enough speed to utilize the hyper speed walking spot in this course, then we could get PU speed. Even then, there's still the height issue, but it MIGHT be possible to do this trick where you move onto a rotating platform at PU speeds and the rotation of the platform affects Mario after he moves a QPU away, causing rotational displacement. In this case, the floating board of wood that wobbles might suffice. I'm not exactly sure how much of that would work, but it's moot point if PU speed can't even be achieved.

[@slowfreq]

is there any way to ride a shell you take out of water?

[@pannenkoek2012]

No they are completely different objects

[@destoryeverything9677]

he solved it now, on his other channel he got on the boat with frame walking

[@agoodduck]

now with 0x A presses! (i watch your side channel...)

[@inwencja2009]

2 videos in 1 day?

[@boosters23]

Change controller layout for jump to B. Press B instead of A. No A presses.

[@Seltyk]

+justin ripley well... you're not wrong....

[@xicao3722]

Now you can no longer grab bowser.

[@Seltyk]

Xi CAO switch B to L. I dont recall L doing anything anyways

[@Ultimaximus]

Was that star dance clip at the end even necessary, or were you just showing off?

[@pannenkoek2012]

Lateralusticus Yes, and I worked hard to get it. You see, the ship was at a point in its cycle where the star side was tilting down, so I couldn't simply go over to the star and DR into it. I could have just waited for the ship to tilt the other way, but it's faster to scale the rim of the ship and DR into the star from there. So once I finished getting the 100 coin star, I'd be left standing still either on the regular part of the ship (no star dance clip) or the rim (using a star dance clip). If on the rim, I could follow the rim to get to the part closest to the star. If I was on the regular part of the ship, I would have to run in a little circle just to gain enough momentum to do dive to DR onto the rim, which is a waste of time considering that I could have just started on the rim had I used a star dance clip.

[@Ultimaximus]

pannenkoek2012 Heheh, always a detailed reason for everything. I love it!

[@BanjoBallZ]

9999 views on this video. That makes me the 10000th! Hooray for accomplisments!

[@lostman1013]

Hey pannenkoek2012 this will be a very stupid question but you know that you can do the star of the secrets (i dont remember the name) coinless?

[@pannenkoek2012]

In what course?

[@lostman1013]

Wet-Dry World

[@pannenkoek2012]

Yeah, that one's not too hard to do coinless.

[@lostman1013]

pannenkoek2012 Yes i know.

[@lostman1013]

Aslo i was going to make a video of it xD.

[@thecursor123]

Just to make sure, there ARE games other than SM64 you play right?

[@pannenkoek2012]

thecursor123 I beat Marble Drop a couple weeks ago (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marble_Drop)

[@jeffreyzilla]

Wouldn't it be slightly faster if you didn't get the 3 coins at the beginning and went for the ones on the way to the ship? (No I'm not a pro at this game it's just a question for those who wanna go hate on me).

[@chlorobyte]

jeffreyzilla This isnt for speed.

[@QuiVeutUneMerguez]

Benedani Speed is still the second priority

[@chlorobyte]

QuiVeutUneMerguez yeah ik. but this still isnt for speed. if it was, it would be faster.

[@mustafabaybars381]

you cant say a "A" press is a "A" press. its only half just kidding

[@9fly640]

When 120 no A presses have done, next is no B?

[@x1g5dj7dh4]

9Redfly Too easy, B is just punch/roll/kick

[@notchmath9642]

Chang Jia Yang Actually impossible

[@x1g5dj7dh4]

NotchMath ?

[@StanFuzz]

Good luck getting the very first star of the game, big bob-omb on the summit, without the B-button. :P

[@chlorobyte]

Stan Zandbergen Okey, getting a wing cap...

[@duwattez]

Next step: no run speedrun?

[@notchmath9642]

caroline david No joystick? He did some...

[@pannenkoek2012]

NotchMath Don't remind me

[@renakunisaki]

No controller. Play by inducing memory errors using a tiny magnet to make Mario move.

[@notchmath9642]

LOL

[@tacomeme429]

Hmmm

[@HikloLime]

Can you do a 70 star no a presses run?

[@natnew32]

06hlil it is down to literally one A-press remaining. ONE.

[@DonYagamoth]

natnew32 Out of curiosity, which one is that? o.o

[@TheMasterHojo]

***** Bowser in the Fire Sea.

[@notchmath9642]

TheMasterHojo Getting off of the first pole in bowser in the fire sea, currently working on testing.

[@natnew32]

Speaking of, I have a question: what happens if you gain vertical speed from a lava bounce while you already have vertical speed?

[@TylerKehne]

3:1

[@billthegangsta]

If only you didn't have to press A to unlock the cannon for levels

[@pannenkoek2012]

billthegangsta I'm not sure what you mean. Normally, you can activate a cannon with B by talking to the bob-omb buddy. In this course, the bob-omb buddy is unreachable without an A button, since it's on a high platform. However, even if a cannon is unlocked, you'd still have to press A to launch from it.

[@billthegangsta]

That's what I mean. Have to press a to use the cannon. Was going to suggest shooting out of the cannon to the boat to avoid the 1 a push, but quickly realized that's dumb :P

[@billthegangsta]

Love your videos though. Been watching for a while. Keep it up :)

[@pannenkoek2012]

Thanks!

[@ShinyHunterHunter]

How high is your IQ? Seriously, I just sat here and watched most of your no A presses videos, and some of these tricks uses are astounding
