I was referring to the Spongebob Episode "Gary Takes a Bath" where Gary actually teleports out of the tub. It was late at night when I was typing it, and got a part of the quote messed up.
Now Mario, we can do this the hard way or the easy way. Or the medium way. Or the semi-medium-easy-hard way. Or the sort of hard with a touch of awkward difficult challenging way.
Another thing: if you end the demo early, the input file will continue until 1 frame after the PRESS START screen reloads. You can actually use this to get the hand to appear on that screen without pressing A.
5:16 "...he only holds forwards for most of the demo." Me: "Well, shit" 7:09 Me: "Oh shit he got on the platform! Now he's gonna hold forwards and jump at the-" *Mario fuckin walks to the LEFT and falls off*
It's great to see another video from you. Even if it doesn't result in saving A presses, it's still fun to see all these random experiments being tried out.
@The Real Snowy Spawning displacement is done by dying on a moving platform of some type, so the game gets confused as to where you were when you died, making it so that, for example, in the demo mario starts displaced by a little bit. An actual use for this is TTC stage exit displacement on JP only. It saves 1 or 2 A presses, I don't remember which. UncommentatedPannen has a video on it. The reason he's hacking in the displacement in the video is to show that it isn't really feasibly possible at all to have demo mario actually collect a star and save an A press. ie, it was only for argument's sake, and there probably isn't a way to displace mario that far away from where he actually starts in the stage. This stuff is pretty complicated lol. If you're really interested in all of it, watch the more informative videos from uncommentatedpannen, like the one on HOLPs or the one on cloning.
"EVERYONE STOP WHAT YOUR DOING! I REPEAT, EVERYONE STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING! Pannenkeok has just made a new video!" sorry, but this is what I just thought of randomly in my head when seeing your comment, and it made me laugh so I had to comment it XD
a wonderful man with great knowledge of memes I was saying get out since you are a troll looking for attention acting all surperior. I suggest you stop your uneeded insults that are so out of place. But why am I feeding the troll anyway? bye
Well on my spawning displacement video, everyone kept asking what would happen if we collected a star during the demo. So I wanted to put an end to all the wondering
Myths say that pannenkoek has nightmare every night where he travels to a parallel universe of Tick Tock Clock, where TF """""""""""""""""Henry""""""""""""""""""""" Yoshi is sitting atop the thwomp saying "How many a presses will it take you to get up here huh? SIX! HAHAHA! THAT'S THE BEST YOU CAN DO?" Just by donating 1/20 of an a press a day, you can help this dying soul. -but an a press is an a press, you can't only say it's a twentieth-
+oussama mrissa It's 1: Least a presses possible 2: do not hold a through unnecessary stars (unless conflict with 1) 3: Fast as possible (unless conflict 1/2)
the final TAS is a speedrun within the context of certain limitations (this one being as little a presses as possible, obviously). given how long many of these stars can take, simply requiring a setup that results in a short demo getting a star for you has potential to be faster
1. A runner must not press the A button, except in situations where it is required to progress throughout the game. 2. A runner must not hold A through stars where holding A is not required except when doing so would conflict with the First Law. 3. A runner must run the game in the shortest time possible as long as such speed does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
You are a genius. These videos are very important to people that want to learn slick tricks in game design and loopholes to save processing power. Keep posting.
elementallobster x if you mean basing code off a 20+ year old game, that's honestly not a good idea. If you mean that it lets them know how certain things work, then fair enough.
Physically switching the buttons would have no effect on demo Mario since the demo isn't controlling itself with the physical controller... You could do this in software but it would require a romhack.
Honestly, I would love to see you either speedrun, or casually go through a 120 star route with minimal A presses. Just to show us the route, and to possibly explain why/how some tricks are done to get through the game with minimal A presses.It'd be like an information field trip through how you play Mario 64.
I so fondly remember firing up my N64 on day one of it's release back in the 90's. The first level left the biggest impression on me of any game ever. It might not seem that special today but back then it was revolutionary. The analog stick, the brilliant soundtrack and effects with near perfect gameplay... I need to revisit this sometime.
do you think theres a way to have the game consider mario to be on a rotation platform while his position is actually PUs away, and if that were possible, would it allow for arbitrarily large spawning displacements? Just typing this in case it sparks an idea
Watch this video: ruclips.net/video/mILLuFunY98/видео.html However, it's virtual console only, since Mario cannot update the HOLP to a PU without the camera being in that PU
Think it's even slightly feasible that there could be a way to store demo inputs and reactivate them outside of the demo? What form do those inputs take, how are they part of the memory?
Further proof for the idea that passion for something is contagious. By the end I was incredibly interested in the method and whether or not Mario could get a star.
Maybe xD Even so, ALL of your videos are interesting that way. They're fun to watch. "Will they be able to do it? Won't they? Are there new tricks they need to try?? Oooh, they've come up with a new method to skip that one part..." It's definitely engrossing.
What is the minimum/maximum amount of distance Mario can displace using spawning displacement and what object makes Mario displace the most and what object makes Mario displace the least
SuperSanicTheHedgehog While I am unsure what object in game possesses the least ability for spawn displacement, I do believe the top of the pyramid in SSL that activates a spinning animation when the pillars are used gives Mario the largest amount of spawning displacement
Even though the demo can't be used to save A presses, are there any stars that could be actually obtained in the demo, using no hacks and an in-game setup for the spawn displacement?
7:10 demo player: ok i am almost there just gotta touch the star *mario jumps in place even though the demo player is trying to get mario to move forwards* mario: i can't do it! *runs left and falls off the platform* demo player: *imitates darth vader's NOOOOOOOO!*
Maybe doing a low A run at some point would give this topic more attention and potentially attract new fans who will help making it even more A-less? This is currently a very niche subject even though it's always very entertaining. It feels like this is the only channel on RUclips about the ABC run.
the game literally displaces Mario for a single frame, so it would take one hell of a displacement to move him that far; I don't think it'd be feasible
Those alleged PUs are actually a myth, the glitch Stryder mistook for a PU was completely unrelated. The coordinates while in a "PU" are still just as close to zero as normally.
Well, at least now that the only star for which this was reasonably feasible is 0x, we don’t have to worry about anything that we could be missing by using this idea.
It wouldn't help with the ABC, but I find it conceivable that - assuming you can start with spawning displacement beneath the floor - Demo Mario gets "Wall Kicks Will Work" in Cool Cool Mountain. Is it possible?

7:00 Demo-Mario looks like a speedrunner up until he just ditches the star. Lol!
Another thing: if you end the demo early, the input file will continue until 1 frame after the PRESS START screen reloads. You can actually use this to get the hand to appear on that screen without pressing A.
maybe, just maybe the hand can solve the 0 A-Button challenge!
if the hand comes out of the game and into the real world then presses A, does it count?
Unfortunately, I think that would count.
I would not count as an A press. A presses are measured solely based on the input file being played, i.e. the .m64 file
if you pull this off it will be hands-down the coolest star collection strat in the game imo

IMO, you shouldn't totally rule out the demo stars for courses which are always 0x, just because there might be a chance some of them might be faster
While that's true, the scope of this video was just to cover the A press saving possibilities

Yes

Not basing code. Basing tricks in game mechanics. Read between the lines, Paradox.
I’d love for you to revisit this concept. Setting aside the ABC, are there any stars at all that can be collected in the demo?

Hey man, just wanted to say your videos are great. It's a sort of sanctuary when I'm going through rough times. Keep up the good work :)
i can't imagine how excited you must've been to see mario actually get to the platform at the end, only for him to jump off
I hope we'll see in the future not only this star being taken but other nice uses/glitches
My reaction to the end:
**re-reads title**
"Well it did say 'Idea'"
it's been 7 years and i still want this to work so badly
1. physically switch the controller buttons A and B
2. do your challenge runs or whatever you call them by jumping with B
3. get money and bitches
Physically switching the buttons would have no effect on demo Mario since the demo isn't controlling itself with the physical controller... You could do this in software but it would require a romhack.
Woogoo336 This comment wasn't related to demo mario, just the run in general :p
But an A press is an A press, you can't just make it B.
Did you not read the description? The B button is split into three parts...
QuestionablyLoudVulture Well, Questionably "Loud" Vulture...
Thank you for presenting the information clearly and completely. Excellent work, almost reads like a research paper.
Now that's a truely crazy idea. Too bad you don't have control over the demo. If you could somehow rotate the camera... :/
Well the Demo sets every warp zone to the title screen. I N C L U D I N G D E A T H .

At 6:40, could you frame-walk up and then fall off of that spire to reach the Bob-omb buddy with 0 A presses?
It's no longer necessary anyway since that star is now collectable 0x with the help of frame-walking
This is why I love this channel.
0:21 That's odd. How come the US version has an extra thing at the start?
Probably to attract more attention to American audiences.
Also might be to do with the Japanese version being finished first, but I'm not entirely sure.

Further proof for the idea that passion for something is contagious. By the end I was incredibly interested in the method and whether or not Mario could get a star.

Much like Pannenkoek himself probably does, I get flashbacks every time I hear about, "Watch for Rolling Rocks."
What if he beat bowser?
Why does this only have 1 like? It's a damn good question! I will fix this
The amount of crazy stuff surrounding this game is unreal.
Never change obsessive but awesome people.
I wonder if there's a way to confuse the game and make it play a mario demo while in a different demo level than the default demo inputs.
Would have been an amazing trick, but alas, sometimes these things don't work. But I guess that helps makes the functional tricks shine even better!
What is the minimum/maximum amount of distance Mario can displace using spawning displacement and what object makes Mario displace the most and what object makes Mario displace the least
SuperSanicTheHedgehog While I am unsure what object in game possesses the least ability for spawn displacement, I do believe the top of the pyramid in SSL that activates a spinning animation when the pillars are used gives Mario the largest amount of spawning displacement

I love this channel. So many undiscovered codes and hacks!
Is there no way to use the same platform hack to make mario land directly on the star?
the game literally displaces Mario for a single frame, so it would take one hell of a displacement to move him that far; I don't think it'd be feasible
dude this would’ve been the hypest speedrunning trick of the history of speedrunning

Those alleged PUs are actually a myth, the glitch Stryder mistook for a PU was completely unrelated. The coordinates while in a "PU" are still just as close to zero as normally.
