super mario 64 works the same way

WATCH THE VIDEO THEN JAMES

because the amount of effort this guy put into this -one- video

like

roughly on par with the entirety of the Zybourne Clock shenanigans

why is this 24 minutes

BatsyRuntime: NO BUT WATCH IT THO

IT'S FUCKING BAFFLING AND BRILLIANT ALL AT THE SAME TIME

is this that video that's been making the rounds on tumblr that i keep seeing mentioned but never see an actual link

where someone breaks reality

yes

the very same

excellent

the resemblance is stunning

HOW DID YOU FIND THIS LITERALLY THE EXACT SAME TIME I STARTED READING ABOUT IT ON AN UNRELATED TVTROPES DIVE

kasu's fault

...kasu get out of my head

oops

wait it's already on tvtrops?

where

the SMB memes page

But first, we need to talk about parallel universes

BatsyRuntime: it's honestly fucking uncanny

i watched this yesterday

it was amazing

god, I still can't listen to this without getting mildly ill

that voice is just the perfect amount of "oh my god you hideous goon"

It must be nice to not have a job and have time to do inane bullshit like this

i mean this inane bullshit will probably make like

several hundred thousand dollars for charity

one he gets the entire route figured out

b/c you KNOW this is gonna show up at a GDQ

except it's absolutely not marathon safe

true

look at the early videos where the guy spends literally twelve hours inching up a slope

i got 12 minutes in and just went I GOTTA STOP, I GOTTA STOP

I LOVE THIS SHIT THO

or was that in this video with the GOTTA GO FAST

justkiddin you didn't even get to the weird stuff

"but to answer that, we have to talk about parallel universes" i THINK I DID, GOOD SIR

TO DO THAT, WE NEED TO FIRST TALK ABOUT PARALLEL UNIVERSES

WHAT THE FUCK

WHAT JUST

DID I JUST ENTER ANOTHER REALM

in order to make delicious apple pie we must first create the universe

I MEAN

IT MAKES SENSE

Gonna echo the I LOVE THIS SHIT cause man, hearing about weird shit you can do with video game programming is my jam

before engines had the ability to actually do true reflective surfaces

mirrors were just

the map flipped on itself

okay yeah it was this video with the

twelve hour slope

surpass the speed of light and utilize quantum tunneling to only press the a button .5 times

10/10

does this end with mario occupying every available space in the game at once, including the one with the star

what the fuck am i watching

BlueFlewFedUQueen: art, lavvy

art.

I CANT LOOK AWAY

IM ALREADY FUCKING LOSING IT AT BUILDING SPEED FOR 12 HOURS AND BRINGING UP ALTERNATE UNIVERSES

WHAT HAS SCIENCE DOOOOONE

I LOVE THIS

"but that didn't stop me "

part of me is also still like "why is finishing SM64 with minimal A presses an actual thing people put this much effort into"

but then again i fucking love weird programming shit so

w...weh...

well, that part is easy enough to answer

they've done every other challenge for SM64

literally, every other challenge

it's true

but

have they done all of those challenges at once?

i don't think they've done a blindfold challenge but that's because i'm not sure if someone could have the mental capacity to keep a map of ALL of mario 64 in their head

i wanna see someone speedrun SM64 blindfolded with an upsidedown controller using their feet and minimal button presses and if mario's speed dips below a certain amount itll set off the bomb inside the bus

sven: Super Mario 64 Blindfolded - MIPS clip!! In your fac...

that's just an excerpt but

but does this end with mario existing in every available space at once

quadruple pu.

unfortunately, no

not yet

sadly it never will

it will just end with Mario existing an infinite number of times in the exact same space

it'sa me, legion, we're-a many! so long, gay bowser

ellipsesinaction: if you want that, look up some of the Metroid Prime 1 glitches

b/c the morph/boost ball glitches are essentially "achieve max speed while up against a wall, hit boost, exist in every available space at once INCLUDING the place needed to get this specific item for the run"

welcome to a parallel universe that you're not allowed to observe or let the camera follow you to

GOES BACK TO SMW ROUTES AND PROGRAMMING SNAKE VIA BUTTONPRESSES

casual reminder that super mario world and, to a lesser extent, pretty much everything written on a SNES cartridge

written in assembly

assembly

LITERAL FUCKING MACHINE CODE

THAT EVEN PROGRAMMERS LOOK AT AND GO

"NAH, I'LL PASS, THANKS"

fucking assembly code...

assembly is straight up witchcraft

i'll be honest

LIMINAL SPACE IS SCARY AND WEIRD

Still not sure if I should be more boggled at Assembly's impenetrable machine code

or how reliably Lua can take a program, literally any program, and go all ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL reaper-style

actually forget smw i'm going back to pokemon rb and programming creepypastas via item shuffling shenanigans...

did you know that there's already porn of this meme

I cannot believe I just wasted twenty-five minutes of my life on this

unsurprised

does it involve scuttlebugs

yes, and tj yoshi

also unsurprised

AuriaTetsukai: aren't you glad i'm here, auria

you need to gather speed for 12 hours so mario can jump into a parallel universe

into multiple parallel universes

I want to hear this being narrated by Electrical Beast

my favourite part is him analysing to figure out the 6 triangles on the fucking slope he needs to surmount this slope

without losing speed

i fucking love the passive aggression at the start too just HEY SO SINCE YOU GUYS NEVER FUCKING READ THIS HUGE PARAGRAPH OF EXPLANATION I WROTE YOU.............

THANKS """""""HENRY""""""

Electrical Beast - Teleport I just really want to hear these streams cross

0.5 A presses.jpg | Unite Bun! shit this is hilarious

imagine 11 goombas* on the edge of a cliff

i still love this
