SM64 - Watch for Rolling Rocks - 0.5x A Presses [OUTDATED]

THIS VIDEO IS OUTDATED - SEE A BETTER VERSION OF THIS VIDEO HERE:
• HMC Watch for Rolling ...
I collect the star Watch for Rolling Rocks in Hazy Maze Cave using 0.5 A presses. The A press is to perform AB kicks on the rising elevators. Without doing these kicks, Mario would go through the elevator, and so there'd be no way to navigate out of the lake area with QPU speed. For the record, this is TAS.
This video is an improvement from my previous video in which I collected this star in 1 A press. You can find that video here: • SM64 - Watch for Rolli... . Since then, we discovered PU movement and scuttlebug raising, which made this strat possible.
To learn about the tricks, glitches, and vocabulary used in this video, please watch the commentated version: • SM64 - Watch for Rolli... . I even listed the time of each explanation in the description of that video.
Here is a play by play of what I do. First, I use scuttlebug transportation to move a scuttlebug to the corner of the Watch for Rolling Rocks platform. Then, I use scuttlebug raising to raise him to about the height of the platform. Next, I use hyper speed walking to generate massive speed. Finally, I use PU movement to navigate to the top of the course, launch to the scuttlebug to bounce on him, and ground pound in the misalignment of the platform to get onto it. And from there, I collect the star.
If you want to see my workspace/calculations and read about the process of TASing this, I've chronicled it here: imgur.com/galle...

This video is without a doubt the one that I've put the most time into out of all my videos. I knew this going in, and so I decided to keep a log of how much time I spent on each aspect of it (note: if my computer was doing work like compiling/recording and I could let it be, I didn't count that time). Here are the stats:
Time to TAS: 12 hours

there's an inherent absurdity in accerelating to inhuman speeds, crossing a complicated grid of universes parallel to our own, invisible and eldritch and empty and void and incomprehensible--and navigating this grid carefully, even casually using terms like "oh, going left 3 parallel universes, then up 5" --just to avoid jumping on platforms

Speed of light takes 91 billion light-years to reach our observable universe... ...Mario just needs 12 hours to travel through 4 universes at once... Hyperspeed of mario will soon be the next measurement after light.

[@supersaiyanonemillion7533]

... Holy shit

[@SuperFromND]

Let's delve further. 91 billion light years = 2.7281114e+19 (2.7~ to the 19th) 2.7281114e+19 / 4 (one universe for mario)= 6.8202785e18 (6.8~ to the 18th) 6.8202785e18 / 12 (to get actual speed) = 5.68356542e17 (5.7~ to the 17) Thus, Mario can move about 5.68356542e17 miles per hour. In other words, Mario is about 848,800,093 TIMES faster than light. SUCK IT PHYSICS

[@icebear6757]

+pannenkoek2012 oh my god

[@Lugmillord]

Truly fascinating. This combines so many tricks that are cool on their own. ...and I totally love anything PU-related. It's insane how much time and passion you spend just to decrease the A presses by 0.5 - 3:52 this movement looks so unusual since the modulo position moves opposite to the BLJ direction you are used to. PU-movement really makes you think 5D ^.^

[@pannenkoek2012]

Yeah, I move relatively forwards or backwards depending on whether I have less or more than the syncing speed, respectively. So on the 6th triangle, my first movement was relatively backwards (more than the syncing speed) but then the next two movements are relatively forward (less than the syncing speed), since I passed through the syncing speed during the fast forward.

[@Lugmillord]

pannenkoek2012 Thanks for the reply (although you already perfectly explained it in the commented video). I have one question though (out of pure interest) - what was the highest speed you ever used so far? In one video you had a syncing speed of over 100 QPU which sounds really incredible but did you try out how far you can go, e.g. up until you reach an overflow?

[@pannenkoek2012]

I think you're confusing my speed with how far I travel. The speed is just how many QPUs I move per frame. So if I have enough speed to move 1 QPU per frame and I hold it for 25 frames, then I'll move 25 QPUs (or 100 PUs), and I believe the displacement is the number you saw, since I list this out on the PU map screen.

[@pannenkoek2012]

For your second question: As you move to further and further away PUs, the precision of the floats (use for Mario's position) decreases. Eventually, Mario can't even move around since the distance between allowed points is too great for him to go from one to another. Even further out, Mario can only stand at that PU's origin - the only allowed point in that PU. After that, only every 2nd PU is accessible, and later every 4th PU, and then every 8th PU, etc.

[@Lugmillord]

pannenkoek2012 Thanks for the very quick response. I already thought that floating point accuracy eventually becomes an issue. At which distance does this become an issue? Is traversing ~100 PUs already challenging or does this problem only occur much farther away?

[@neonmushroom1]

Has science gone too far?

[@gumgrapes]

Yes.

[@portalfreak7628]

+neon mushroom NO IT MUST GO FURTHER

[@Gestersmek]

+neon mushroom It can only go as far as the PU grid allows.

[@TheLucarioBaoJunior]

+Jamal Mian Which is probably infinite.

[@maxalabama]

There aren't infinite PU's, because remember that PU's existence is due to a difference between Mario's position variables, one of which is stored as a short and the other a float. The float will also eventually overflow to 0 at the same time the short does, re-syncing the values of the variables.

If Mario's normal running speed is about 3m/s, then 1spd is about 0.1m/s, therefore 479006 spd=47900.6m/s, which is 141 times faster than the speed of sound in water, but 6300 times slower than the speed of light. At this point, assuming a mass of about 60kg, his kinetic energy is about 69 gigajoules, in which case, preventing his movement over the span of a second would require 10% of the power of the atom bomb dropped on Hiroshima in 1945.

[@MariaNicolae]

We can be a bit more precise than that. Mario is 161 units tall, so it's safe to assume that 1 unit = 1cm, or somewhere abouts. A speed unit is a distance unit per frame. So, when Mario runs at his normal speed (31), he's moving 31 cm a frame, or 9.3 meters a second. 479006 speed is 4790.06 meters per frame, or 143701.8 m/s. That's right, 143.7 km/s. So, assuming his mass is average for a human male (he's a bit shorter than normal, but also a bit fatter, so these probably cancel out), we get our formula for kinetic energy: mass/2 * velocity^2 =75/2 * 143702^2 =37.5 * 20650264804 =774384930150 Joules, or 774 Gigajoules, or 1.2% of the bomb dropped on Hiroshima. BTW, 69 GJ isn't 10% of Little Boy's power, it's 0.1% To me, this puts in perspective how destructive this bomb was, and how devastating modern nukes are.

Go forward 10 PU Then turn right and proceed 6 PU more and you should reach you destination Thanks for using google maps!

[@AzlanTalin]

I love how no one is making a to answer that we need to talk about parallel universes joke even though that’s what this video is known for

[@amadortrujillosantoni6120]

Now you have a new challenge. Make an entire PU jump with just an A press. I wouldn't be surprised if you ended up discovering wormholes or something like it.

[@bradleylindsey3540]

pfft easy, considering HOW MANY TIMES HE DID IT IN THIS VIDEO WITHOUT PRESSING IT ONCE

[@khistraley1150]

This man just transcended reality to get a star in another room without jumping

[@professorchunky]

As much as I love this video and the commentated one, I felt sorry for him when I found out the story that he was going through when he made this.

[@Adam-eg1vy]

what happened?

[@professorchunky]

Helix Byte He made this video during a tough time in his life and everyone made jokes about the commentated video, and it got to be so bad for him that he had to switch channels because he wants no part in the jokes. I never found the jokes funny anyway.

[@dav_poy]

This is absolutely insane

[@chbrules]

The scuttlebug is the key to the multiverse O_O HIYAAA!

[@vanderkarl3927]

Fuck portal speedruns, this is where it's at.

[@abcdefzhij]

We can have both you know...

[@lineageiiii5996]

Portal was inspired by Super Mario Sunshine

[@smearfo5612]

LINEAGEIIII What?

[@mushroomfusion245]

Aiden Mahoney No it wasn't.

[@Mace2.0]

Mario is the only guy I know who's having fun with QPUs... FOR TWELVE HOURS!!!

[@verguco6051]

this dude has more knowledge of the physics in mario 64 than the humanity has knwoledge of the physics in the universe, and that is not a compliment

[@MitoNova583]

where was the comment that started it all

[@SkicoNow]

Pole-Jumping for Red Coins - 0.5x A Presses.

[@thecoolv130]

Well, Mitochondria "Of" Nova, I actually have no idea lol, I can't find it. Unless you're not talking about that one, which in that case, I don't really know what you mean

[@XanceMRevola]

Editing tip: maybe add some filler music or time-lapsed audio to the "X [units] later" transitions. Those deafening silences always made me think the video had stopped to load or that my headphones were dying.

[@avii491]

this has spawned so many memes. i love them all.

[@mevnie-enn]

To someone (like me) who's not very familiar with TAS or the specifics of glitches, speedrunning and so on, this is pretty odd to watch. Still very cool to see this, going to watch the documented one now. :)

[@tamine9546]

One of these days someone will do a SM64 0x A Presses speedrun, and will probably break reality.

[@dddgaming885]

Well, 0 a presses has finally been done. Now we just need someone to do it in a speedrun. Then after that, in a blindfolded speedrun.

[@a.d.t.mapping]

​@@dddgaming885marbler did it in 2, just gotta learn chuckya drop and play it on vc for the ultimate run

[@CitrusBlitz]

this is humanity's peak

[@NintendoNerd64]

2:25 to skip scuttlebug raising

[@xenosonic9x414]

5:09 That's an alternative way to get A-Maze-Ing Emergency Exit in 0.5 A Presses! :)

[@xenosonic9x414]

5:13*

[@MariaNicolae]

The thing is, he was on the PU version of the platform, so he couldn't collect the star that way.

[@xenosonic9x414]

Timestoppa But the star was there. And, he could if he let go of the control stick.

[@MariaNicolae]

Jack Sullivan No, the star wasn't actually there. He just used cheats to make the relative view. If he let go of the control stick, he'd be stranded in the PU.

[@IsabruhMoment]

Jack Sullivan Eyyy

[@JaneSable]

I've just discovered this for the first time. Can someone explain this to me? Is this a common thing in games? To get through something while never doing something specific? Why the A button, is it just because jumping is such a key element to Mario games?

[@QwertyuiopThePie]

+Marsha Oakley Yeah, it's a sort of fun challenge to see how you can bend the game to do things like this. It's similar to speedrunning.

[@JaneSable]

QwertyuiopThePie I figured as much, thanks!

[@Maxawa0851]

4 years late, its fun because the game gives you a main mechanic (jumping in this case) And you just go *no*

[@MariaNicolae]

What happens if you do a double-jump with QPU speed? Do you go millions of units high?

[@SerialBull]

AFAIK the speed is horizontal only.

[@MariaNicolae]

Cease Crismon The height of a double-jump is proportional to your horizontal speed. In essence, they convert horizontal speed to vertical speed.

[@SerialBull]

Timestoppa on KZbin Oh, thanks for letting me know.

[@xicao3722]

I think the game would crash if the speed is forwards, otherwise you will jump downwards and reduce the speed.

[@sat71601]

If Mario speed synced up with a vertical PU he would travel to the vertical PU although because there is no floor to stand on in vertical PU's so upon falling below floor level the game would crash.

[@Daviloss]

If you're searching for TJ Henrys comment, sorry, he probably deleted it. I wasted 5 mins to scroll all over the comments using crtl + f. It's nowhere to be found here.

[@TheMaskedStarlte]

its on a different video

[@brkmnly]

this is how i found your comment

[@Plutonian187]

🙂🤣🤣

[@mahmutpekkara]

And this my friend, is how you summon a TAS speed demon.

[@linkVIII]

mario sounds kinda funny at 2x speed

[@UmbraVivens94]

that's just Melee Luigi

[@zaku28]

Really cool sounding concept I just thought about when I saw Poo go through Yoshi on the donut bock: perhaps a puzzle centered around donut physics where you go a normal way with Yoshi, then open up paths to donuts so you can surpass Yoshi?

[@danilomendonca31]

Best player in the world

[@CloudySkies17695]

I legit wonder if this was his only game as a kid, and as such, spent way too much time into it, finding out shit like this exists.

[@thelibyanplzcomeback]

SM64 TAS: God Mode

[@friedchickenUSA]

i like how i now know everything thats going on, due to having watched the 30min commentated version at least thrice

[@andrewprahst2529]

"Sir you've been in a coma for 4 years" "Oh boy, I can't wait to see how QPU's I can cross with this speed!"

[@NingyoTheInkling]

Sonic: I'm the fastest thing alive ! Mario: Hold my beer

[@unimpressedlink2507]

The real reason for this run is that the a button on his controller only works half the time

[@SARI8N]

"to understand this, we need to talk about quantum phyisics"

[@shiiiguthewise6778]

Half an a press is half an a press, you can't say it's only 0

[@Gammija]

this is ridiculously cool and i love it

[@bad.3704]

5:13 if this was the sound you would get after killing a scutterbug and collecting this coins i think they would wrote a whole creepypasta out of this sound

[@alisiaale565]

*Teacher:* Where will you go in the summer vacantion? *Me:* I will go into a parallel univers!

[@luginess0]

Everyone talks about building up speed for 12 hours, but what about holding A for 12 hours?

[@uselessguy1]

next time on pannenkoek1012: pannenkoek completes his life in 0.5 a presses.

[@4stringedninja]

AGDQ 2017 when?

[@lennyjjba]

Once the PU map appears you know shit gets real

[@Noahfr1k]

3:01 I can still hear the line

[@Brian-rp7dj]

This is art on a level that will not be understood until we are all bones in the ground.

[@AidanS99]

Ah. So this is why we haven’t found parallel universes yet. We weren’t using the syncing speed for proper qpu alignment! I gotta tell NASA!!!

[@Adam-wg4kj]

you still planning on uploading? i have never played this game nor plan too, but i've watched most of your videos. very interesting stuff love the content

[@astronerd2485]

The horror if you fall off the platform after waiting 12 hours of backing up into a wall
