Notes:
At 10:06, the action "In water with an object" is labeled as only being reachable using glitches. You can actually get it without glitches by, for instance, grabbing a cork box in Shifting Sand Land and swimming in the oasis with it. However, "Metal in water with an object" cannot be done without glitches, as there are no levels with all the elements required to get that animation. You can achieve it with glitches in Jolly Roger Bay, which is the method demonstrated in the picture.

The final step of the TAS: 38:20 Moonwalk to assert dominance
It was very hard not to laugh at this
The thing I like in TASes is autoscrollers and stuff like that, because in the mean time while tas is waiting for the screen to scroll he can show off some really ridiculous things that just weren't nessesary for the run itself
Hee hee
Beat me to it
I'm guessing that's Mario's animation of walking towards Bowser yet still in a BLJ state
Imagine breaking a game so effectively that you have to talk in terms of multiversal relativistic physics so that you can explain walking through walls faster.

So taking the 1 unit=1 cm approximation, the 3.4 million speed Mario reaches at 10:30 converts to 1020 km/s. Which is about a 300th of light speed, or two times as fast as the entire Milky Way's escape velocity!

It raises an interesting question. Who's more powerful? Mario who can jump through parallel universes or Lakitu who can track Mario jumping through parallel universes?
I watched a video on how TASes are made and then came back to this video remembering that I'd been meaning to watch it. Having a newfound appreciation for the HUNDREDS of hours of work that go into speedruns like this made this super interesting.

*_What an interesting issue. To solve it, I must ascend the hill and find a spot where I can perfectly execute my so-called "BLJ", or Backwards Long Jump. To do it, I will do the move called "Long Jump" while making a "yahoo" sound and reverse my direction in the air. Now I have backwards momentum, so i can perform another Long Jump. Doing this process repeatedly will make me obtain large amounts of backwards speed. I will use it by moving to a different parallel universe where my relative position would be on the other side of the obscured door. By doing this, I can enter._*

I think my favorite part of the video is when he begins to talk about PUs, he starts with “Ok, so how does this work? First, we need to talk about Overflow Jumps.” But before the words “Overflow Jumps” appears on screen, for under a second you can see “Parallel Universes” pop up before they are mentioned.
yes
I’d like to just point out that, as someone who is currently taking a university-level programming course, as well as someone who is actively working on a ROM hack, videos like these, which break down the technical aspects of everything are godsends. You and Retro Game Mechanics Explained have taught me-and by extension the rest of the world-quite a lot about the mechanics of how games work. And now that I can actually apply these concepts to real examples, that just makes me appreciate this content even more than I already did. Every time I learn something in class, I’m able to apply these videos’ content to it. I don’t know what it is, but I take solace in the fact that I can learn things from videos about things I like: games, and breaking them down.
Should SM64 become a college course at this point?
Honestly a lot of old Nintendo games have some really great C code in them; the Nintendo way of creative solutions over brute force fixes permeates every layer of their game; it really shows how coding can be inarguably refereed to as high art.

Watching this after your ABC series, it's cool to see how much more awesome power Mario gains when he's allowed to use his famous jumps. And yet some techniques like Parallel Universes are quite familiar. Fascinating how the speedrun uses similar tools to overcome a totally different obstacle: A DOOR.

29:52 You answered a question I had been wondering… once inside the basement with this TAS trick, could you open the locked basement door to get into the rest of the castle, or would the game say “you need a key to open this door?” The answer turns out to be the former! I’m guessing the programmers never expected you to get into the basement before getting the dark world key, so they probably didn’t program the statement “this key doesn’t fit! Maybe it’s for upstairs…” like they did for when you attempt to open the upstairs door with the basement key.

Yoshi: *yoshi noises intensify* (look how they can mimic a fraction *OF THE SIZE OF MY-* )
at certain times, Mario displays multiple frames in which his eyes open and close suddenly.
*this is called blinking*
Does he breathe?
@@skyjack1 no
@@skyjack1 there is a tree within his lungs constantly producing oxygen tho
Kobilua ah pannenkoek
pannenkoek actually did a video on character blinking
Mario: walks
Bismuth: so what’s happening here? Well it’s actually pretty complicated. Mario was programmed to move in all different directions which can manipulate his x and y position. His sub pixel position determines his current location in relation to the level. However Mario can also run which can result in his manipulation of his x and y position and sub pixel to increase rapidly.
Mario: *breaths*
Bismuth: as mario exhales, his horizontal collision decreases by a unit of 7 subpixels. This mechanic is known as "hitbox manipulation" that not only alters marios hitbox, but also how objects react to mario. For example, when mario is in his normal state--his conventional model for which he stays for 72 frames--we are not able to bound between the tiny crevice of the wall and the door. However, using hitbox manipulation, if we are able to time when mario activates that state between the 73rd frame and the 98th frame, then we can clip out of bounds inside the crevice with a set amount of speed. The game doesn't know how to react when two collisions overlap each other, so for some weird function it fortunately prioritizes mario's model, which is why we were able to clip out of bounds.
Mario:Literally exists
Bismuth: The Mario exists is through years and years of programming which causes the programmers to alter their hitboxes, x and y position, and their sub pixel movement. This process is known as development/irl manipulation. If the programmers don’t undergo this process, Mario existing would be physically impossible
Mario: doesn't exist before 1981
Bismuth: there's actually a lot going on here. what's actually happening here is the future developer's ancestors had a premonition of pixels and set up a long chain of events, beginning with the Revolutionary War, in the middle parallel universes, and ending with the world's favorite jumping mascot with overalls. You see there was an oversight in capping the negative speed of their thought and they completely jumped out of reality, but overflowed all the way back in. Their brain cells checked out the first few quarter steps but collided on the 3rd, thus changing which neural pathways were prioritized and altering the outcome to result in Jumpman.
Yes, yes, every single action in this game is incredibly complicated with insanely low speeds.
Mario: dies
Bismuth: so whats happening here? It's quite complicated. Mario was programmed to die when losing all the power, when this happens, a series of events happen, he goes through 11 different sprites and his y level decreases by about 0.03 cm, assuming he's human-sized, this can be abused to make Mario die more.
Reminder, we all sat here for 23 minutes to watch a plumber walk out of the castle he is supposed to enter
This explainer is incredibly well done, and perfectly explains an insanely complicated process of steps. I'm in awe of the people who developed it, and of you for your teaching skill. Great vid.

I like how SM64 speedrunning has evolved from finding the best way to collect 70 stars in a kids game, to moving good fractions of the speed of light, and traveling across dimensions.
“Kids game”

Half of the video: okay, so this is how the collision detection works!
The other half: Mario then shatters the multiverse with his speed going thousands of times the speed of light.
Bruh we need more speedruns explained by you man, you do so great with these
I need to watch something stupid after this to normalize my IQ and anxiety levels

they will probably demand the people who made this tas

This is what happens when you have college level, theoretical programming work being done by folks who got into a game for fun. High concept, jank vocabulary.
Paper Mario has a trick named after clippy from old windows pcs
Fantastic video and explanation of all the concepts at play!
Mario is more active than people make him out to be. We barely ever see him eat anything ( I only count mushrooms) he never even does eat in this game and he's long jumping around parallel universes at the speed of light yet people still call him tubby. also He's yelling practically the whole time and he still has energy after all that. he never stops to catch his breath, or even shows any signs of tiredness.
When you are so sick of the princess getting captured you go get a theoretical physics degree so can BLJ through parallel universes just so you can get it over with in under 5 minutes.
Could you imagine if this was possible irl?
Aight boys I’m gonna go to McDonald’s. (Hitless, any%)
I mean at this point it's just physics.
Imagine your theoretical physics professor starts clipping through your house walls because you missed his lecture
David Deutsch would be proud.
yet even though Mario has a PhD in advanced theoretical quantum mechanics physics he still makes 42k a year
Here’s one thing I can guarantee you. When the developers made this game, they NEVER had any idea this kind of manipulation would be utilized on it one day...
*_”WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO OUR GAME?!?”_*
i have a theory that a man from the futuere helped make the game. from his time, sega won the console wars and mario 64 flopped. he told nintendo how to be sega with this game by adding these little trinkets making speedruns easier. he told them all star doors should be loaded at all times, and you should open basement doors from the outside without a key. its oddly suspicious how they allow you in the 70 star door without 70 stars, isnt it?
@@rixeno this is silly, as a programmer I can safely say, none of this could have been planned, this isn't intentional stuff, its broken as hell, don't be absurd drop the conspiracy
@@juliet4093 oh, literal Josh
@@juliet4093 its clearly satire. every man who knows how to operate a controller from the 90s knows that games from the 90s had to cut corners to fit on the cartridge.
When he said *"The castle is divided into three levels, the ground level, the basement, and the upstairs"* I felt that.
Fascinating stuff! There is so much more to speedrunning than I ever could have imagined!
what i love is how this documentary is almost ten times longer than the actual run
Imagine how long the making of all these strategies took
it probably took months, years to perfect this run heck it could be improved even further for all i know
Erick Eudave well the game came out in 1996..
@@Joltz9 it did take years to create and it's suspect that there might be lag improvement
Bismuth: To answer that, we need to talk about-

Bismuth: Overflow jumps.
Me: *relief*
Also Bismuth: and Parallel Universes
That's how to trick YOUR collision detection :D
