as long as your dream is, for some reason, to 'play' sm64 without an a button. which is dumb in the first place. and you're not playing either. doing everything frame perfect and with floating point precision angles is just impossible. it's obviously tool assisted. The concepts presented and the technical implementations are interesting, but there is no point.

[@theclashingcrafter5354]

[@Lugmillord]

We need to be conservative with the resources we got. The Mario world doesn't have an unlimited supply of them although we act as if it did. What would our children and grandchildren think of us if we used up all the speed before they could even lay a hand on Mario games? We need to conserve it as well as we can!

[@eimazd]

Not sure if you could mix spawn displacement and conserved speed without A, but speed might help if it works

[@LetsBuildADalek]

Another issue with using HMC to get speed for other places is that they can only use the MIPS trick to get to HMC's entrance without an A press twice. That means that we can only use it for one more thing, unless it can save 2 a presses in one go.

Do we know why speed is conserved through some loading zones and not others, like how it's conserved in the ship in JRB and exiting the hole in DDD, but not others? The only theme I can see is that the previous two I mentioned deposit you into water, which seem to conserve speed.

[@TheDoomerBlox]

The common denominator between when speed is conserved, and is reset - is whether or not there is an obvious "cutscene" (as small as they may be!) upon entering a new area. The few level transitions which were mentioned to conserve speed don't have Mario do a cute "entry" animation.

Pannen, I've asked this a couple times but I'm not sure if you've seen it. What happens if you end the demo with text on screen (from bomb-buddy or sign) or while in a cannon? I'm hoping it causes a glitch since you can't normally exit a level with either of the above conditions in effect.

[@RarefoilB]

I guess we need to find some way to build up speed in the top floor then. Hey, what exactly is the trigger for making the eel move out of the ship in WDW? I can be swimming all around him trying to coax him out, and all you did was an reverse arc.

[@Superdavo0001]

To be able to conserve speed, you would need to enter a sliding state on the first frame possible, so the demo probably wouldn't do that.

[@RaFaReAcH]

if you use spawning displacement for mario to be on a slope an slide... it could work EDIT: I dunno, being burn to the death resets your speed? game over speed conservation is only possible through falls?

So if you make suggestions that won't work, you get to be included in a video? Awesome! Can you grab a bob-omb hands free and then enter a Pedro Spot to build up QPU speed, and then carry the bob-omb to the PU, and then clone the PU, and then bring it to the main map of TTC and release it. Then use the ground from the cloned PU to climb up to all the stars!

[@corbincox9925]

The PU is not an object, it is a real place in the game, and the floor and walls are still floor and walls, if the PU was an object for some reason, this may have been possible, but I'm pretty sure that HMC (Hazy Maze Cave) is the only place where getting to a PU 0xA is possible, but I believe it is impossible to clone on that map.

[@madeformario]

so, we can get behind the 8 star door early 0xA, by first doing HSWing in the courtyard to get to the moat door, then go to hmc to build up some speed and bam 0 stars behind the 8 star door but its completely useless since you wouldn't save an A press, nor time with this.

[@DoubleATam]

[@colonthree]

You'd think that the Mario-class in the code would have resetting of speed to 0 for transitions to keep this from happening. All it would need is an if-check or have all the variables be == 0 at the top when it loads. Maybe it's declaring the types but not giving them values?

[@ultimatecorgi3392]

Is there just an entire society of programmers dedicated to analyzing the quirks of this single video game?

[@xianlucax9343]

Wait, if you can conserve speed by dying and causing a game over, can you conserve speed into a demo? If so, is there a way to use that to cause demo-Mario to collect a star?

[@Samuuu18]

You need a sliding speed pressing Z, but how I can convert the negative speed to normal speed, when mario falls in the water after a BLJ and you are going to use the speed that you conservate, how you make this speed positive to go towards?

[@luitze]

4:17 imagine peach being kidnapped and hoping Mario to save her and see this

[@frogsareop5623]

They seemingly did a pretty good job at mitigating speed conservation attempts by adding "set to zero" checks everywhere. Imagine how much more insane SM64 would be if you could just conserve your speed through loading zones, while moving normally, etc. You could essentially just BLJ your entire way through the game. They also did a good job with bounds, never making it actually possible to get out of bounds, though I'm not sure that's a good thing as we never would have gotten parallel universes that way. Someone should make a ROM hack where all these things that are impossible in the base game, are possible... and then challenge Pannen to save all the A-presses. Think it'd be possible?

[@lurdinhapinheiro7839]

"If we die in a course then we get ejected,then we also cannot conserve speed" Me:OBVIOUSLY BECAUSE WE GET STUNNED BY THAT EJECT

[@poke548]

So why can you not save speed at the beginning of a new save file? Unless it deliberately wipes your momentum, spawning into a cutscene nullifies momentum saving (Which I don't think it would), or the transition from cutscene to text-box kills it, holding a direction from frame one should allow you to save your momentum. I reckon if we can figure out exactly where in there and why the momentum is killed, then unless it's the first one, maybe there's a workaround?

[@Caroniver_Robocacci]

pokefan548 If you look at the debug box, it's when Mario exits the pipe. He has set movement values in the cutscene.

[@michaelwojnar648]

So THAT'S why letting go of the owl always felt so unpredictable!

[@crep50]

I see the correlation, whenever you enter water with sliding speed, or gain speed and, as long as you stay in, or end up in water after a zone change you’ll keep your speed Plus a few others

[@xiutecuhtli15]

What about conserving speed from a game over into a scripted menu cutscene?

I find it really weird (as an indie game dev myself) that Nintendo didn't zero out velocity on starting a zone correcting all of these possible scenarios. (these are technically a glitch) Maybe it was an oversight but I like to think they didn't fix it to see what people would do with it!

[@JulianBliss]

I wonder if the fact that you conserve your speed when you Game Over is how sonicpacker and pals were able to clip into Vanish Cap without the Wing Cap.

[@bsperoz]

I've actually had the thing at 1:10 happen to me and until now I never knew why!!!

[@spencerstroda783]

i thought it was interesting that Mario's vertical speed at the beginning of a new file was at 60 for quite a while. I'd like to see how far down he starts.

[@pentelegomenon1175]

so in almost every instance where the screen fades or irises out, no speed conservation

[@Redeem_Honor]

Is that why when we let go from the owl in Whomp's Fortress, we aren't dropped straight down? I always have an issue where when I let go, I always end up being pushed in one direction just a tad.

[@LadyZechie]

I noticed that, for a moment, at 7:00 you still had sliding speeds while your XYZ positions were set for the upcoming level, which was different from the rest of the transitions as they were all set to 0 at essentially the same time. Assuming that Mario is in fact outside of PSS rather than in some weird transition army limbo (because the XYZ positions were set for the next area), is there really no way to use those sliding speeds before they're set back to 0? Or does the game prohibit the playing of the area before all defaults are set?

[@RarefoilB]

That seems to be a common phenomenon with every transition that's not a painting or a loading zone: When Mario's loaded into his new position, his sliding speed is perserved, then reset when everything's normal, with the exception of Exiting the Stage through the Pause Menu. That may be because we're on the ground when exiting through the Pause Menu, and all other times, we're in the air. If there was some kind of spawning displacement that immediately put us on the ground when we're thrown out of the stage, we could conserve our speed.

[@geekerandy8773]

RarefoilB A LONG TIME LATER, WE FIND A USE FOR SLIDING SPEED!

[@mathphysicsnerd]

That last one is the most interesting situation in my view. Is it known why speed conservation works in this particular loading zone? Also, just a random thought, are there any spots in the ship where one might be able to HSW or otherwise gain speed?

[@superilikeeggsyo]

I think they all have to do with whether Mario spawns in water or not. That's the only thing I can think of that the JRB ship, the DDD hatch and Invisible Mario Death all have in common.

[@mathphysicsnerd]

Doucheman Macgee Then why doesn't it work with The Secret Aquarium?

[@superilikeeggsyo]

mathphysicsnerd No clue. Only guess I have is maybe it's because it's going from the castle to somewhere else Vs. going from somewhere else to the castle/somewhere else?

[@mathphysicsnerd]

Doucheman Macgee I guess that's possible but it's very anti-intuitive that the castle would affect it in that manner, especially since exiting to the castle grounds from DDD allows for the maintenance of Speed Conservation.

[@superilikeeggsyo]

mathphysicsnerd That's why it's just a guess. My reasoning is that there's somehow differences in going from the overworld -> stage (secret aquarium), stage -> overworld (Course Exit, Alternate Course Exits like DDD hatch and waterfall) , and stage -> other part of a stage (JRB ship) Maybe it's because the secret aquarium entrance counts as a painting? He said in the video that paintings in particular take away all of your speed.
