It's actually not even remotely "crazy" at all.

I cant give enough credit to www.youtube.com/@Krithalith for creating this setup. He is a legend. Check out his Orthagonal Jones video here: ruclips.net/video/hbPAJ_OrT28/видео.html Also something I forgot to cover that some people are asking about is routing changes. Basically because Rainbow Ride is at the end of the run / at the top of the castle, it is slower to go to it any earlier than the end of the run. There is a theoretical route that goes to RR within 20-30 minutes, however that route only will save 17 seconds assuming you hit carpetless, which after hitting is gonna most likely make the rest of the run even scarier. I predict most runners will stick with the standard route however time will tell.
Lets see whem the legend Jobst gets to make a video about it. And man, as a non player of Mario, but a connoisseur of people who speedrun and spend time figuring these things out, I do like videos like this
Thanks for mentioning the attempts Snowman and I did back in 2015. It's absolutely wild how much this trick has progressed in the last 8 years, but I'll always be wicked proud of getting it with a barely functional Gameshark at like 2am back in the day.
Bro, that woohoo in the clip he used was so delightfully wholesome. You *should* be proud of your work. Thanks for laying the foundations that got us here.
Shoutouts to Krithalith for taking responsibility and coming up with not only the less soul killing setup but going the step beyond and making that whole dictionary. I imagine it must have been a lot of pressure
true, its in a weird spot right now but the way i see it is tippy was already hard anyway, so it might as well be harder. more hype !! and even more satisfying to finish off
Krithalith has been such a revolutionary person in Super Mario 64 TASing for the last years, and now I'm so glad he was able to provide this to the Super Mario 64 RTA community. Guy is a beast, and I expect for stuff from him in the future :D
Fax, but holy cow, I just watched one of your speedruns and I'm on MelonDS WFC now, how is this all happening at once?! Likely couldn't get any more epic.
I love the fact that the name is Orthogonal Jones. What a fun name! Anyway, awesome news to hear! The frame-perfect stuff still sounds hard, but with time and practice, I'm excited to see how this'll affect runs! And what other exciting tricks are yet to come!
Meh, doesn't really counteract what I said. Plus it also means if they have a bad run going into tippy now you get a minute or whatever time save if you pull it off. 11 times in a row in the first few days, id say top players will like their chances in a few months.
Look at old 3D games in general and you'll see people discover tricks decades later, the depth is seemingly endless the more complex games become in their construction and ruleset.
Ocarina of Time seemed to be maxed for a few years, then they found ACE. The "Human" TAS of 120 star used to be like 1 hr 38 mins like 5 years ago, and now 1 hour 36 min runs are viable.
Great video,. I joined twitch in 2012 and started watching Siglemic do 1:44 runs and never could have imagined what the strats would be like today. Excited for this new chapter in sm64.
Yeah and what a 180 he did once the method got refined, apparently going from "I don't want to run 120 anymore" to doing it 11 times in a row in like, a couple days.
@@Lheticuswell it did require using a controller, having the inputs on display, and really weird crawling to even get the setup. The new way is more easy to replicate and can be done on any input device

Well done and congratulations to everyone who helped make this a reality. ...but more importantly 10:09 casually slipping de Blob music in the background?!?

@@greatazuredragon I think so, too. People clipping through walls at every chance, doing all sorts of weird exploits, and the game still holds on. It's a miracle!

This pause buffer wall jump strategy could probably be applied to other skips to make them faster, but there are probably only a few spots where the risk is worth the time save
Imagine if we knew about this in 2020, back when Simpleflips was doing the Green Demon Challenge. Do you think he would've tried carpetless, instead of contacting Pannen and trying to trap the 1-up on the ship and the wall of the house? That star was one of the craziest ones he did, and I wonder if it would've been as impressive if he pulled it off using carpetless.
@@BlackfeatherMainwell, we didnt quite know about this, right? This setup posted 5 days ago can be accomplished from the warp to the castle, and getting the green demon stuck outside the castle seemed doable enough. It'd just be doing this setup, unless the floating castle walls are bad enough to surprise again.
@@purpleninja102 we didn't know this exact setup, fine. Calling this the "biggest sm64 speedrun discovery" is nothing short of clickbait, however. Had the concept of carpetless being possible without TAS not been a thing until now-that'd be a more or less fair title.
@@BlackfeatherMain i know i’m seven months late but man you really don’t know what you’re talking about. the whole point of this video is carpet-less is now realistically humanly viable in runs. a trick that can save 50 seconds in one of the oldest, optimized speedruns is insane. this trick completely changed the 120 star landscape. there are a ridiculous amount of runners that came back or started grinding 120 star because of this trick. even seven months later 120 is still the most competitive category because of carpet-less and the world record has been lowered by well over a minute since. though even without insight from 7 months into the future, i don’t understand how you can call the title clickbait
The fact that people were getting pissed because they just suck is hilarious. "No you can't use this glitch to beat my record because I'm too ass to do it"
I love how the diagonal setup is the equivalent of splitting atoms. Some really fucked up and mad dude invents the trick to make the world a better place but in the end it just creates suffering for everyone.
This is long overdue to be honest, I always felt that a consistent setup was possible after the original double gwk strat came out; lo and behold, that setup has finally been found. This really changes the entire vibe of 120 tbh, I'm very excited to watch and see who can snag a record with all of that timesave.
It’s so, so weird that Mario can get to the top of that floating castle. It blows my mind, I remember being a kid and that castle just feels so huge… it is massive. Getting up there on your own… unbelievable.
As someone who has left their fair share of carpetless memes in twitch chat, this is pretty surreal for me as well! Thanks for sharing the news, and good luck with the runs 👍
As a 37-year-old millennial that experienced the hype, anticipation and excitement of this game's original release...it's both surreal to me and also amazing to see people still loving SM64 and trying so hard to master it. At the time it came out, we all knew something truly different was happening in the video game world...wish all of you could have been there to experience it.
I wouldn't say "if you were to tell me 4 days ago that there would have been a viable and consistent setup for carpetless to the point that it could he hit 11 times in a row, and that literally anyone could hit it once, I would have never believed you"... I'm gonna say that I wouldn't still believe you, this is surreal and I still struggle believing it, it sounds like a dream and that when I wake up it all will sadly get back to normal... But it's not... and it still blows my mind
I love when a level is considered solved because of something you're not supposed to skip, such as the carpet, but that barrier gets destroyed. it kinda reminded me of that portal 2 chamber where glados talks a lot before letting you play the stage
Suigi getting it 11x in a row is really impressive, but he's also still practicing the 120 strats. I dont think we'll see a full run from him for a while. He might not be the FIRST 120 WR to use this, but when he gets around to it, it will be GLORIOUS.
@@CoolHandLuke196imagine being hyped about discovering something that's already there instead of creating something that wasn't even made to be possible and willing it into existence from pure human effort.
Fantastic coverage of this series of events. As a casual speedrun follower/viewer this is exactly the type of update and context that I feel anyone with familiarity can understand. Great video.
Absolute legendary find with this setup, its crazy to think that this is so doable. Now it will come down to practice and nerves to implement this into runs
SM64 has definitely been approaching the human potential barrier, AND THESE SPEEDRUNNERS ALWAYS FIND A WAY TO GET AROUND IT! It's incredible, and famtastic video btw
It's incredible that this is what speedrunners are doing since that kid did the perfect run. This is such a highly technical, frame-perfect sequence and it's so so late in the run. It's gotta be tense.
I had my doubts and said “no way” when I saw the thumbnail, but I gotta say, my mind is blown. The gaming and speed running community is incredibly resourceful.
thank you simply for an excellent video, i think this was presented in just the right way and it's giving the community a big boost as well (cant believe it took me 5 days to watch this)
My eyes glazed over at that first setup. There had to be a better way. Good on Krithalith for putting in a monstrous amount of work to not only refine the technique, but make a guide any speedrunner can use.
Finally, been waiting for this Aladdin ass skip to get figured for years. That carpet too slow, ain’t no way Mario going to impress his princess Jasmine with that dusty ass Roomba
Yo simply if you don't know what to say on some streams, just say what you're thinking. Don't feel pressured to always be up or something when you're like groggy or down or grumpy, that'll just make you more grumpy. I think a lot of people think they need to act like a certain personality or something, just say what you're thinking at that given time. Show a full range of emotion. That's what socializing is. Imo. (I say this just cuz I saw the puppy stream and I'm like, ok bro, was he like not sure of what to say, so he went full like risk-averse conservative "I'll just make cute noises with the puppies" or what's up). Just say what you're thinking, show a full range of emotion. If you have some complicated thought, then you can also say it. I could be reading too much into it, this is just my opinion.
I love how you clearly explain step by step, how and why these glitches work, in [conjunction] with the ever eluding video clips that many content creators frequently miss or avoid. Must not be easy. Thanks.
It's crazy that you post this within days of kosmic posting about nitsky and his path to perfection. It's awesome that more barriers in Super Mario speedrunning are being overcome.
Stoked that there's new life to this category. I've always really enjoyed watching your content and am excited that there's new life in this passion you have.
It‘s kind of surreal to watch this unfold. My twitch-recommendations are now full of „carpetless practice“ or similar stuff every day. I don‘t think I ever was around when a new trick like this was discovered and I‘m so looking forward to the moment when the first fully run comes out that actually uses it!
I shared that sentiment also. My opinion was that 120 star wr would use carpetless sometime during my lifetime. It will just happen sooner than I thought now.
14 years ago I could do Wall Kicks, 14 years later Wall Kicks = Life hacks, who knew 🙂 Though, I feel like they should not be allowed in real time runs, the trick is just insane, the amount of knowledge needed to perform the trick is like a “You must understand to play this level” gateway. They are a lot of reasons why people don’t want it in runs. It will be such a shame if this trick gets put behind though. All of those hours for no good use. Let me know your opinions on this.
Oh the trick is gonna be implemented in top level 120 star runs. It's a forgone conclusion at this point. The lovely thing about long categories though, is that you really don't need to hit every trick. You can def still get solid times without carpetless if you wanna just do it for the challenge. The top runners are grinding this trick for good reason though, it's been demonstrated to be RTA viable so folks are gonna do it.
@@webbowser8834 It is certainly going to juice things up. I do agree with the every little mistake loses time, even one day we will get “NO MISTAKES 2” and have the perfect run. The trick is still a meme, but it’s a meme that aged well. Will be expecting great things in time to come.
why does it matter whether or not a trick is "in the spirit of the community"? the whole point of speedrunning is perfectionism, reaching the end state in as little time as possible. there's a reason why people don't like perfectionism in the real word: it's unrealistic and exclusionary. the same thing will hold true in speedrunning. the difference is, you can find happiness elsewhere anytime if you want in speedrunning. you don't need to go for WR if you don't feel like practising new strats. you can work on progressing other areas of speedrunning, such as a level that doesn't get much attention, or in some other category.
the description for setting this up takes me back to those early hoax days with topics such as HOW TO PLAY AS LUIGI or YOSHI or BOWSER or you get the point. even now watching this and the incredibly precise frame perfect steps, i cant help but feel like this is some epic trolling

I love when a level is considered solved because of something you're not supposed to skip, such as the carpet, but that barrier gets destroyed. it kinda reminded me of that portal 2 chamber where glados talks a lot before letting you play the stage
Man, this could cause all sorts of changes to the run. I love this game.
Suigi getting it 11x in a row is really impressive, but he's also still practicing the 120 strats. I dont think we'll see a full run from him for a while. He might not be the FIRST 120 WR to use this, but when he gets around to it, it will be GLORIOUS.
I don’t speedrun but I love this game and the speed running community! Y’all get so hype and it’s awesome!
I have no idea what any of this is or why this was recommended but I’m locked in
can't believe I've witnessed both the discovery of this and Wind Waker's barrier skip in my lifetime. God I love speedrunning
talking about Mario like it's humanity discovering life on Mars lmao
@@CoolHandLuke196 it's more important than that
@@CoolHandLuke196imagine being hyped about discovering something that's already there instead of creating something that wasn't even made to be possible and willing it into existence from pure human effort.
its just a game bro@@thechugg4372
Fantastic coverage of this series of events. As a casual speedrun follower/viewer this is exactly the type of update and context that I feel anyone with familiarity can understand. Great video.
We all knew it would happen eventually it's just wild we got there so fast.
Absolute legendary find with this setup, its crazy to think that this is so doable. Now it will come down to practice and nerves to implement this into runs
never thought I'd see the day.. i love sm64 speedrunning
That sequence at 4:30 reminds me of what US police instructs you todo in order not for them to open fire
SM64 has definitely been approaching the human potential barrier, AND THESE SPEEDRUNNERS ALWAYS FIND A WAY TO GET AROUND IT! It's incredible, and famtastic video btw
geometry dash is still in the corner
We’re just living a future Summoning Salt script
I commend Krithalith’s passion for this community
It's incredible that this is what speedrunners are doing since that kid did the perfect run.
This is such a highly technical, frame-perfect sequence and it's so so late in the run. It's gotta be tense.
I just can’t wait to see the Karl Jobst video on the new record when it happens. “The player achieved THIS RUN.” *shivers*
Can't wait for summoning salt to make a video about this
I had my doubts and said “no way” when I saw the thumbnail, but I gotta say, my mind is blown.
The gaming and speed running community is incredibly resourceful.
He's finally back! Ive been searching every few days thinking my subscription was messed up. Lookin good man
What a time to be alive.
For sure, all of those oversaturated carpetless jokes everyone made and now this happens 😆
thank you simply for an excellent video, i think this was presented in just the right way and it's giving the community a big boost as well (cant believe it took me 5 days to watch this)
My eyes glazed over at that first setup. There had to be a better way. Good on Krithalith for putting in a monstrous amount of work to not only refine the technique, but make a guide any speedrunner can use.
Finally, been waiting for this Aladdin ass skip to get figured for years. That carpet too slow, ain’t no way Mario going to impress his princess Jasmine with that dusty ass Roomba
Yo simply if you don't know what to say on some streams, just say what you're thinking. Don't feel pressured to always be up or something when you're like groggy or down or grumpy, that'll just make you more grumpy. I think a lot of people think they need to act like a certain personality or something, just say what you're thinking at that given time. Show a full range of emotion. That's what socializing is. Imo. (I say this just cuz I saw the puppy stream and I'm like, ok bro, was he like not sure of what to say, so he went full like risk-averse conservative "I'll just make cute noises with the puppies" or what's up). Just say what you're thinking, show a full range of emotion. If you have some complicated thought, then you can also say it.
I could be reading too much into it, this is just my opinion.
What I love about these discoveries is it essentially resets the extremely optimized ladder and gives everyone a more hope for and chance for glory.
For short glory until suigi claims it again after 3 attempts.
Literally an OoT setup, I love it 😂 Very glad to see SM64 still getting new discoveries 🔥
I love how he called this like an OoT trick like it's an insult. I know it's not but it feels like there is a tiny bit of derision there.
I love how you clearly explain step by step, how and why these glitches work, in [conjunction] with the ever eluding video clips that many content creators frequently miss or avoid. Must not be easy. Thanks.
Does this mean the 100 coin star will be paired with something else now?
it'll get paired with the box star where you shoot out of the cannon on the ship
It's crazy that you post this within days of kosmic posting about nitsky and his path to perfection. It's awesome that more barriers in Super Mario speedrunning are being overcome.
Feels like barrier skip
As a Mario og, honestly proud of you guys, wild this game is still getting love after all these years.
Stoked that there's new life to this category. I've always really enjoyed watching your content and am excited that there's new life in this passion you have.
It‘s kind of surreal to watch this unfold. My twitch-recommendations are now full of „carpetless practice“ or similar stuff every day.
I don‘t think I ever was around when a new trick like this was discovered and I‘m so looking forward to the moment when the first fully run comes out that actually uses it!
You gotta keep aria man, their editing’s great. Summoning Salt Presents: The Race For The Perfect Carpetless SM64 120 Star.
THE CARPETLESS IS REAAAAAAAAAAL
Literally getting much higher (so high)
Seeing all the clips of people who are getting Carpetless and sometimes even multiple times in a row has been insane
I predicted it. I remember so many fucking years ago saying SURRRRELY someone would eventually find a consistant way to carpetless. Gg ez c:
I shared that sentiment also. My opinion was that 120 star wr would use carpetless sometime during my lifetime. It will just happen sooner than I thought now.
Love the breakdown on such a niche thing. Good video, watched the whole thing.
14 years ago I could do Wall Kicks, 14 years later Wall Kicks = Life hacks, who knew 🙂
Though, I feel like they should not be allowed in real time runs, the trick is just insane, the amount of knowledge needed to perform the trick is like a “You must understand to play this level” gateway. They are a lot of reasons why people don’t want it in runs.
It will be such a shame if this trick gets put behind though. All of those hours for no good use. Let me know your opinions on this.
Oh the trick is gonna be implemented in top level 120 star runs. It's a forgone conclusion at this point.
The lovely thing about long categories though, is that you really don't need to hit every trick. You can def still get solid times without carpetless if you wanna just do it for the challenge. The top runners are grinding this trick for good reason though, it's been demonstrated to be RTA viable so folks are gonna do it.
@@webbowser8834 It is certainly going to juice things up. I do agree with the every little mistake loses time, even one day we will get “NO MISTAKES 2” and have the perfect run. The trick is still a meme, but it’s a meme that aged well. Will be expecting great things in time to come.
Therapist: “don’t worry carpetless isn’t real, it can’t hurt you”
Wait, this isn't a Karl Jobst video
Hearing Simply describe the directions to do carpetless is like listening to spongebob tell you how to blow the perfect bubble.
why does it matter whether or not a trick is "in the spirit of the community"? the whole point of speedrunning is perfectionism, reaching the end state in as little time as possible. there's a reason why people don't like perfectionism in the real word: it's unrealistic and exclusionary. the same thing will hold true in speedrunning. the difference is, you can find happiness elsewhere anytime if you want in speedrunning. you don't need to go for WR if you don't feel like practising new strats. you can work on progressing other areas of speedrunning, such as a level that doesn't get much attention, or in some other category.
This is sick! Thanks for the breakdown and the hype. I love speedruns but mostly stick to Zelda and RE runs - I might have to watch Mario runs now!!
I liked my own comment
ITS A MONDAY AND I JUST FARTED
the description for setting this up takes me back to those early hoax days with topics such as HOW TO PLAY AS LUIGI or YOSHI or BOWSER or
you get the point. even now watching this and the incredibly precise frame perfect steps, i cant help but feel like this is some epic trolling
The day we see someone do blindfold carpetless is near.
It's crazy to think that a game that's coming up on 30 years old is still being optimized to this day. Wild stuff.
You mean to tell me you’ve been MIA for over 2 months here and you come back with a gosh darn 12 minute video..???
Heck I’ll take it but don’t leave us again.
imagine getting 118 stars and you fail carpetless, I would kms
I'm not much into speed running or Mario 64. But this was a well written essay. Very entertaining and I could follow the whole time. Dope!
4:20 could be substituted with the method Spongebob used to make perfect bubbles and it would be about equally sensical
RUclips finally put you on my suggested channel list. Great video and just subscribed!
