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]

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.

[@Flamebreakerful]

They did solve it. Rare dropped the idea so it was never fully developed. Google it

[@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.

[@ImSquiggs]

I've watched a lot of SM64 videos in my day and that was the wackiest thing I've ever seen. I thought I knew most of the glitches by now but you had stuff going on that I've never heard of. That last box throw was absolutely unreal.

[@effective.powerh7885]

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.

[@computercat8694]

[@ecbrd8478]

A few questions 1. How many A presses are you down to so far? 2. How long would you predict a TAS run of your current route to take?

TheDisarminghinkle No A pressing means you can't jump, which is a main part of Mario games. If it were no B presses, that would just lose attacking, which would be much easier to work around on most missions.

[@susieq4412]

I was going to say you could easily get every star without pressing B since that's just the punch button, but it might actually be difficult/impossible, since you need to punch to grab bowser's tail to throw him

[@TheDisarminghinkle]

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

[@Murkiry]

No. You can't change the control scheme on the N64, and the point of this run is that it should work on the original version of the game (which is the N64 version).

[@TheDisarminghinkle]

Murkiry You could just get a different controller.

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

Beating super mario 64 without touching the controller

[@Shmaiex]

The Gamer Grub Don't encourage him

[@teemuaho4807]

Bread Milk pretty easy with an emulator

[@Koopary]

This... this is amazing. I'm speechless...

[@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.

[@Inkstar]

People can make ladders out of goombas, yet nobody can cure cancer...

[@slkgfj]

Wait, so did this take you ~20 IRL hours to make?so like it took a few days JUST to play it to get a 14:46 in-game time?

[@pannenkoek2012]

It's TAS. So I play it slowly and with re-records. I TASed it in 2 days.

[@slkgfj]

pannenkoek2012 Damn dude, mad props for all that, keep up the amazing work.

[@MrCrazyToad]

+pannenkoek2012 What did you do during that time? I mean, surely you didn't just sit there at your computer with the emulator open for two days straight. ...right?

[@FEScarf]

+MrCrazyToad I'm certain he meant two days on and off trying to get it right and resetting when it goes wrong rather than 48 hours straight

[@TheLoveMario]

+TheMarioZone Actually, TASing involves playing the game in frame advance mode. So it took him 2 days to record the inputs in frame advance, and then he replayed it in the emulator while having the recording software activated; that way he can actually show it to us at full speed.

When your older brother gives you the broken controller

[@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.

[@renakunisaki]

Damn, it's just raining boxes in this level. Such an elaborate setup, love it!

[@TheSpectralFX]

At the end with the slow-motion scary music I had this thought: "So, selling your soul to satan can save you an A press, neat."

[@chevronie9720]

alternate title: lakitu has a stroke while mario defys gravity

[@tor2840]

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

[@boynedmaster]

jump

[@slendeaway7730]

I love the way Mario rolls up those stairs.
