The part where's he raise the scuttlebug
Just...what?
How can someone discover this?

edit: and now I got to the paralllel universe part of the video.
I...I...wow

 

[Zekes!]

All this so that he doesn't have to fucking jump?

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant

 

[HamPster PamPster]

The man turned Mario 64 into the most fascinating puzzle platformer ever

"Want this star? Figure out how the Mario multiverse works first"

 

[JudgmentJay]

Pretty cool. I love stuff like this.

 

[MrChocolate]

I understood almost everything. But I guess that's because I'm a fucking dork... And I enjoyed glitched and taking advantage of SNES games back in the day... Although this is quite something else. Also, quite entertaining video. Kudos to the creator.

Humans will learn how to teleport because some nerd is too lazy to take out the trash. "I wonder if I can do this... without moving."

 

[alf717]

Then you missed the best part.

And the glitches this guy finds. I love that particular one from the Bowser Glitches Video:

That video had me in tears when Bowser just jumped off the platform. If I could do a gif that would be my abandoned thread gif.

 

[Parfait]

That was pretty fun

 

[ShadowLag]

dude what the fuck

[Aruarian Reflection]

So is this how the Millennium Falcon did the Kessel Run in 12 parsecs?

damnit, someone made this joke 40 posts before me

 

[Skel1ingt0n]

That was amazing.

 

[ShadowLag]

dude what the fuck

Actually, this is how I imagine you feel (as I do as well)

 

[King Al B]

Thats some straight up Time Lord, Doctor Who shit. Mind Blown and Exploded!

 

[Dreavus]

I lost it when he got to the Triangle steepness grAPHS WHAT THE FUCK AM I LOOKING AT AHHHH.

 

[Coffee Dog]

I'm at the floor triangles. This is amazing.

This thread delivers

All this so that he doesn't have to fucking jump?

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant

This should also be put in OP as a synopsis

 

[KevinCow]

Holy shit. That was amazing. How the hell do they figure this kind of stuff out?

..What does this accomplish? Like, I'm wondering how one finds this and works this out, and why.

Basically, at some point years ago, somebody realized they could get one of the stars in Mario 64 without jumping. So they said, "Let's see how many of the stars we can get without jumping."

Then they realized that it was impossible to get all of the stars without jumping, so they said, "Let's try to beat the game with as few A button presses as possible."

And some people got really into this and started finding glitches and exploiting them for the sole purpose of reducing the number of A button presses in the game.

And then this video happened.

There's a point of dedication to something that's super cool to see in action. Then, beyond that, there's a point where it's extreme enough to be a bit sad.

The hardcore SM64 guys go so far beyond that point it's beautiful. There's a level of creativity and inspiration that's so far beyond just speedrunning. They're not even really playing Super Mario 64 - they're using it as a medium, or a canvas, or something. Some of the stuff pannenkoek puts out honestly gives me the chills - it's fascinating and satisfying in such a weird, cerebral way.

 

[rekameohs]

That was a fantastic presentation. Like, I know jack shit about the goings-on of Mario 64, but that was really well explained and I could follow along.

 

[Lionel Richie]

The video blew my mind gloriously, I have been watching a lot of his other stuff and I do hope to see him stomping on the mystery goomba someday.

 

[Weapon of War]

Wow, that is the most fascinating thing I've watched all year Pulling off this is incredible. Also something I haven't seen mentioned is how much work it must have taken to create this whole video. It was really well put together and explained in such a smooth, logical way. Bravo!

 

[ResidentDante]

Holy shit. NASA will be hiring this guy when they want to do space travel to parallel universes.

 

[Lotto]

at least he did all of this for a good game

 

[Beer Monkey]

Holy shit. That was amazing. How the hell do they figure this kind of stuff out?

Somebody tell me they disassembled the code and/or analyzed it executing in real-time on an emulator with a monitor.

To think only recently I was impressed by this.

Weirded out how he pronounces Mario it "Märiou"!

 

[Spaghetti]

imagine the math geniuses the world has lost to the dark pit that is super mario 64 glitching

 

[Shuggananas]

Mario 64 is the best speedrun game and that's why

 

[Doomshroom]

Mario 64 is the best speedrun game and that's why

Yeah running into a wall for 12 hours will get pretty close to the world record.

It's nice that autistic people have something like this to keep themselves occupied.

 

[Mariolee]

Are you serious? Someone got banned for making the exact kind of post in this very same thread.

 

[komplanen]

Poor taste.

 

[ffdgh]

Oh hey another one.

 

[bobawesome]

Not sure if I really got anything out of watching the entire video but I'm still impressed.

 

[Piichan]

Impressed with my man Mario's ability to travel through parallel universes, and he doesn't even need to jump.

Seriously though, very well made video.

 

[SmartWaffles]

I don't understand a single second of this and am still fascinated.

 

[Majukun]

only thing i don't understand it's why the little spider gets higher and higher everytime

 

[Piers]

On that note, a PSA:
If you're going to watch speed-runs of games before 2000 onwards, it may as well be TAS exclusive. Speed-runners sooner or later adopt the tricks discovered by the TAS creators.

Not true, a lot of stuff just can't be pulled off real time

 

[TheLegendOfMart]

only thing i don't understand it's why the little spider gets higher and higher everytime

He's freezing it mid jump and walking out of its detection area so it resets back to its "home" then back in again and making it jump, freezing it at the peak of the jump, walks back out, etc..

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Andbecause youre not in the same room it sits frozen at its current spot. So when you toucbits zone it readies a lunge, which stacks on itself because when you leave its area it freezes and when you get back init tries to lunge again

 

[PopeReal]

Loved it. How these guys figure this stuff out is amazing.

 

[jacob armitage]

That was incredible

 

[The_Poet]

Dude explains it really well. Not that hard to understand really. Just really impressive

 

[E-Cat]

Ho-ley-shit!

So much brain power being used for some absolutely trivial, yet fascinating... thing.

The guy's explanation is the most impressive part, really.

 

[Firehead]

This is my new favourite youtube channel. Thank you.

 

[Dictator93]

I had a lot of fun watching this. Thanks for the link OP.

 

[RomanticHeroX]

This guy's videos are always amazing.

 

[Vagabundo]

Here's another one of his about HULP's. Relatively straight forward.
