Igloo, chain chomp's gate, KtQ and baby penguin stars are all possible with just joystick and A, and no stars are impossible cannonless. Also To the Top of the Fortress is impossible since you need to beat Whomp to unlock the fortress
@@k1ttencorevods43 I know it's late, but I think you should make a TAS yourself to see if they really aren't showing off because they aren't "doing it". Pretty dismissive of you.
This TAS is outdated. You can now actually collect 21 stars without pressing A. If you don't believe me, check out pannenkoek's new video on a new strategy on how to collect the star Chip Off Whomp's Block in 0 A presses. If you improve this TAS, you can thank him.
I'm from 7 years in the future, it's now possible to beat the whole game without the A button. Only on Wii VC for now, though it'll probably soon be possible on N64 too.
Backward movement speed is not capped in Mario 64. The shell just provides a convenient way to move backwards since long jumping, the conventional way to move backwards, is not allowed here.
Perhaps not all of the remaining 100 stars require the A button directly, but I'm guessing the A button is needed to complete the first Bowser level to unlock the remaining courses.
well... it doesent require an a press, only bowser in the fire sea requires an a press to get of the pole the first time but that a press is being heavily worked on and is probably gonna get save in a few months
Wehn making a TAS, decisions are made on a frame-by-frame basis. When something doesn't go as expected, the TASer undos one or more frame to possibly fix the mistake. As you never see this mistake happen as it's edited out of the recording, it is a re-record.
No, you can't use a cannon either, because you need to hit A to launch. Unless I'm missing something, Wing Cap can't be used without the A button, so it wouldn't be helpful for this TAS (with the obvious exception of the Wing Cap star)
i believe he got the shell on a specific seam which allowed him to collect speed as he moved along on the shell, letting him clip thru a wall and go fast enough to get to an island you usually have to cannon or wing cap to. but i'm not sure lmao
That was amazing, a lot of the tricks used to get past the limitation were really entertaining. Is this really the absolute limit though? I feel like it could be possible to get more, but I know nothing of this game.
Can someone explain how the third and fourth stars don't count as jumping because i hear mario making a sound like he jumped while riding the shell. Don't remember just riding off a ledge doing that
if it's possible, you guys could put some "add-ons" on screen that shows the buttons pressed and speed of the character, to be more entertaining and fun when the glitches are made

***** You can't beat Bowser Fire Sea without A button and get to 2nd and 3rd floors, though. So all the stars has to be obtained from 1st floor and basement.
***** Yea, it sucks. I hear they're hardworking on cutting off that one A press before doing a 0x A any% TAS. I wish to see an updated "max stars with 0x A" TAS. Oh well, I can wait.

Gonx Who would’ve guessed how far we’re able to go without the A Button now?
No controller next. We all know you can control games with your mind
Technically, a TAS is done without no physical NES controller :P
I would be surprised if anyone could play SM64 with a NES controller

So no Stomping, Crouching, Blackflips or Controlling the Camera in anyway whatsoever xD

Bowser has inflicted the Mushroom Kingdom with a supreme gravity field. You must defeat him in 10 A-presses or forfeit your princess.
it could be a cool challenge, imagine if a sm64 remake gave you challenges for stars, that would be awesome

This is one of the BEST TAS runs I've ever seen.

TAS is, in fact, the final boss.
Using King Whomp for that last star was a stroke of genius
So nice to watch back the old strats… until we move on to the A press save that really changed the nature of this concept: Bowser in the Dark World.
This is the most amazing thing I've seen all day
Although this is extremely outdated due to a certain Dutch man and his friends, this still remains really impressive for its time.
WHAT THE FUCK
And thus, the A Button Challenge was born.

10 years later, you can collect 99 stars without pressing the A Button (if you use WiiVC)
Haha, I seriously thought you were gonna kill the Whomp at the end, but that was clever :p
The pause buffering at the end was pretty sweet.

ladies and gentlemen, the precursor to pannenkoek2012.
But how many stars can you get with just a half A press?
5
None, because you cannot setup for 0.5 A presses without a full A press.
But what if you're doing the ABC for multiple N64 games in a row?
Well...

If I'm correct we can use a pause to get platform displacement? It's on titling platform at the start of bitfs?
really entertaining hahaha great work to the authors
It wasn't until he went for the 100 coin star that I realized just how damaging watching this would be to my pride lol

Imagine 10 years later and the way to collect all 120 stars, is to use only 16 A presses
and now is 15! (lll volcano elevator is now 0xA)
13 now!
As of right now Nov 8 2023 the maximum of stars possible in no A presses is 67. And on wiivc 98 is possible
It is Oct 23 2024 and 13 a presses are required for 120 stars

Holy smeg that's absolutely amazing
Wavedashing be like
WHY
If this is Mario's wavedash, imagine what Luigi's will be when I unlock him!
L is real.
Luigi was OP in Mario 64 so Miyamoto forced the team to either to nerf him or remove him. They chose to remove him.
Weird thing is Odyssey has something genuinely much closer to wave dashing, except it might be even better.
11 years ago.
5 months ago is crazy
Now, without the joystick :3

The end caught me by complete surprise

For some reason, I wanted to play Bomberman 64 when I was watching this due no jumping.
Perhaps not all of the remaining 100 stars require the A button directly, but I'm guessing the A button is needed to complete the first Bowser level to unlock the remaining courses.
well... it doesent require an a press, only bowser in the fire sea requires an a press to get of the pole the first time but that a press is being heavily worked on and is probably gonna get save in a few months
When you dive by pressing B, you have to Press A to roll back up. Which is what the TAS did.
You can use B to do a DR.

wasn't that sound of goomba noticing Mario?
A specific example is at 4:55. You hear mario's "Wah" sound from when he jumps twice. I don't think goombas make that sound
Maybe somehow those glitches triggered an autojump? I don't know
I believe the shell actually does that on its own when you ride it off a ledge.
I'll boot up Pj64 real quick and check.
Yeah, it just does that when you slide off an edge with the shell guys.
Imagine showing a developer this video a year after the game came out
Everyone: a quarter of a press-
TAS: fuck A presses
3rd star was insane!
if it's possible, you guys could put some "add-ons" on screen that shows the buttons pressed and speed of the character, to be more entertaining and fun when the glitches are made
