Thanks guys! I found both pannenkoek's channel and Bismuth's ABC history but couldn't find my comment here to update it. From both of their channels I feel like I learned everything there is to know. 👍
It’s crazy how after so many years of Pannenkoek videos, tas speedruns and Simpleflips romhack compilations I actually have a decent understanding of all the different mechanics/glitches used here. Ending the stage with a star dance clip was a cherry on top.
holy shit, this is super impressive dude! just goes to show sm64 is one of the surplus titles where people optimize the FUCK out of it just to see how wide it stretches before it bursts. gg! yes i wrote this entire comment without using the first letter of the english lexicon
Can I ask a really stupid question? I know nothing about TASing, but I thought a TAS could input a command every frame of the game. If so, then what's the need of pause buffering? I just play Mario 64 rom hacks, and pause buffering is usually done to make it possible to input commands faster, but a TAS can already do that. So what don't I understand about pause buffering?
Not a stupid question! There's basically two uses for pause buffering in this TAS: - The first application is to be able to perform a dive+dive recover in consecutive frames. Basically, if you dive and immediately land on the first possible frame, you are able to dive recover on that 2nd frame, if you can input a B or A press in that frame. Outside of the ABC, you can simply press B in the first frame to do the dive, and press A in the 2nd frame to perform the dive recover, but without the A Button, if you tried doing that with two B presses, the game sees that you are pressing B in two consecutive frames, and it interprets that as if you were holding the B button, and you don't dive recover. So the pause buffer here lets you input B to dive, then pause to interrupt the gameplay and release B, then unpause and press B again to dive recover, which the game interprets as two separate B presses. This is used through the TAS, for example in trials 1 and 5, where the space that you have to work with is so small that you need the precision of being able to dive and dive recover with no frames in between - otherwise you move too far forward. This particular use of pause buffering is useful outside of the ABC, for example to input BLJs in consecutive frames. - The other reason is for global timer manipulation. There's an in-game timer that increments by 1 every frame, regardless of whether the game is paused or not. A few enemies use this global timer in some way to affect their behaviour, for example the snuffit's oscillating height (trial 19) and the bats' target angle (trial 30, though I didn't need to pause there. here's an example of a TAS that needs pause buffering to manipulate the bats: ua-cam.com/video/3WU5fJK_BIE/v-deo.html). Additionally, when Mario is hurt and he flashes for a few seconds, his visibility is determined by the parity of the global timer. This can be exploited to prevent Mario from rendering and thus updating the HOLP, allowing him to release objects remotely (trial 58, ua-cam.com/video/pHihyGlYfSw/v-deo.html). pannenkoek2012 has a good video about pause buffering here: ua-cam.com/video/IhlBrVaK7DU/v-deo.html. He explains both applications of pause buffering
@@lemon9bug Thank you so much for explaining this! I had no idea about either of these applications! Really appreciate the in-depth explanation. Do you think you'd ever do a commentated version of your recording of the ABC challenge? As someone who has never TASed anything, I'm super interested in watching the challenge, but literally have basically no idea what's going on for the vast majority of challenges. Oh, and thanks for the pannenkoek link; I didn't know he had made a video on pause buffering, but I guess that makes sense as he has made a video on everything :P
@@Confluence358 pannenkoek2012 is working on a video which will explain in-depth the intended (and unintended) solutions for each of the trials, as well as how the competitors did, so I don't see a reason to make a commentated video myself.
@@lemon9bug Oh, didn't think that was still happening! Good to hear it is though; I'm super interested in the "how" behind the solutions to these challenges.
Thanks! Getting that clip through trial 62 to work was quite tricky, most of the times I would either get clipped through the corner and die to the 1-Up, or clip without the bob-omb, or be unable to clip while taking the fake bob-omb with me with a low VS#. I also had backup plans that I think would have worked and avoided goomba clones as well, but I'm glad this strat worked out
fun fact: there is a game called Bomberman 64, in this game there is a secret final level called "Rainbow Palace" where you have to "jump" but Bomberman can't do that, making you do really crazy jumping tricks with the bombs. i guess this rom hack was meant to give it a reference (apart from the fact that the background music it has is from Bomberman 64, just from the level mentioned above)
Absurdly cool! Just a few questions though if it's not a bother lol... Trial 34- how in the what now?? My best guess is you timed it to get the floor properties of the pendulum but how in the world did you do that out of a dive-rollout? Trial 55- What was the purpose of the 2nd cloned head, and why did it not hurt you after throwing it? Trial 57 & 58- DA FUQ Trial 60- What was the purpose of the penguin? Trial 64- Again, how did the fire not hurt you when you threw it the second time? Regardless, goddamn mind-blowing lmao
Trial 34 uses a glitch called squish cancel: ua-cam.com/video/SQhH8lnoH4k/v-deo.html (summary: Mario enters a precise spot above the pendulum that causes him to get squished and then un-squished later in the same frame, which allows him to enter the freefall action in which he can grab ledges). When you clone an object, such as pokey's head, the object stops updating like regular objects do, and in this case it means you can only interact with the head once, so you can't use just one head because you get hurt by it as soon as you release it, and since you already interacted with it, you can't bounce on it later. A separate phenomenon, is that you can only interact with one object of a given type each frame, specifically the first one in the processing order (the oldest one), for example, if you touch two coins on the same frame, you will only collect one of them, and on the next frame you'll be able to collect the other one since the first one disappeared when you got it. So in trial 55 I can't bounce on the first head I cloned because I interacted with it, but what I can do is stand within its hurtbox and clone a second head, which won't immediately hurt me like the first time because the first head's hurtbox "shadows" the second one's, so then I can bounce on this second clone. Trial 57 uses instant release: ua-cam.com/video/CDPZK9P2ibg/v-deo.html. Trial 58 uses pause-buffered hitstun, I explained it in this comment: ua-cam.com/video/8E8Ty_gFBng/v-deo.html&lc=UgwRAKDFkyDBjclo-HF4AaABAg.9Mkbjg4DYsu9MkfChGGgnb. If you look closely at the end of trial 60, when Mario throws the box with the hat-in-hand glitch active, the box appears behind him. Specifically, it appears at the HOLP (Held Object's Last Position), which was set earlier by grabbing and releasing the penguin in a specific spot. As for the fire clones in trial 64, the explanation is the same as trial 55's.
The pendulum is used for squish cancel, which is what allows mario to grab the ledge out of the dive recover. bad_boot has a video on that glitch. This is the intended solution
im getting lost at 14:05 when the box gets picked up and trown with hat in hand glitch: was it just to push oneself to clear the gap?(but what is the baby for? what is the purpose of second metal cap block? and what is the eyeball shooter there for? intended 62 solution seemed building goomba bridge but i dont quite get how they are suposed to be released in the gap to bounce on later when crossing it
I'm pretty sure the box is needed to push Mario off the edge and give him horrizontal momentum to cross the gap with VSC (similar to how the old strat for WF to the top of the fortress 0xa used to work) The penguin i dont fully understand either, VSC probably? Another metal cap box at trial 61 to cancel HiH so Mario can grab the bob-omb normally again Mr eye i have no idea why
it requires precise tricks, I don't think you can, you need to use pause buffered hitstun (30 presses per second), someome got 31 presses per second, but that's very good you need to do that multiple times without fail.
bismuth explained why they do that on slopes in this clip ua-cam.com/users/clipUgkxy80IWRsV4HA6zp5M0vsHxbYd2Kln5lrR and explained why they do it when grabbing objects in this ua-cam.com/users/clipUgkx7RkfufR9sHoA1fxk8b4JYxAfVl69cBYJ
The explosion clone is necessary to make the bob-omb run into it and blow up later when I'm on trial 62, which is necessary so it can respawn after I've grabbed the cork box so I can clone it.
Fun fact: This course was actually meant to make it into the original game. They removed it after coming up with the idea of adding an A button that lets Mario jump, thus making this course too easy.

Wtf I could barely get past the first jump *with* the A button
And I was just *actually* stumped by 7.
Trial 11 really makes you appreciate how odd Mario’s voice is when he gets hit
Side note anyone know what the music is?
Are you meant to use that pendulum on tiral 34/35?
The pendulum is used for squish cancel, which is what allows mario to grab the ledge out of the dive recover. bad_boot has a video on that glitch. This is the intended solution
I understand why the music. That level in bomberman is platform heavy but you cant jump.
The UA-cam subtitle is cursed💀
Looks like som form of drunken master technique.
I have a small heart attack everytime the camera jitters.
I'M NOT EVEN THE ONE PLAYING THE ROMHACK, WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME
#Relatable
would it have been possible to use BCA/see no evil to skip the metal cap?
Is this a TAS or an RTA run? I honestly can't really tell.
it says TAS in the title
And that’s why you are beating the game without pressing the A button, right Lemon?
I don't know the basic movements of ABC

Ha
WHAT.
Did this contest ever declare a winner?
yeah check the description for that video
9:24 softlocked, unlucky
im waiting for someone to say "No ThaTAs A a pResedro SPOT!!!! I T cagets you!!! stuck in CEILKUBG!! and SPESDDD!!!!!!"
@@cyan1280 whut
@@cyan1280 Gaslight them all!
im getting lost at 14:05 when the box gets picked up and trown with hat in hand glitch: was it just to push oneself to clear the gap?(but what is the baby for? what is the purpose of second metal cap block? and what is the eyeball shooter there for? intended 62 solution seemed building goomba bridge but i dont quite get how they are suposed to be released in the gap to bounce on later when crossing it
there is only 1 metal cap box? and the intended solution for 62 involves a glitch called transport cloning
I'm pretty sure the box is needed to push Mario off the edge and give him horrizontal momentum to cross the gap with VSC (similar to how the old strat for WF to the top of the fortress 0xa used to work)
The penguin i dont fully understand either, VSC probably?
Another metal cap box at trial 61 to cancel HiH so Mario can grab the bob-omb normally again
Mr eye i have no idea why
8:19 what happened here ???!

Thank you very much😁
1:37 i feel like you could use VSC to jump up onto the next platform
That's actually a great question, because it may just work. I don't really have the tools to try this but I would if I could !
You don't have any VS left
A normal comment 🦦
I tried to do the 0xa challenge everyday but I kept failing! Can you help me do it?
it requires precise tricks, I don't think you can, you need to use pause buffered hitstun (30 presses per second), someome got 31 presses per second, but that's very good
you need to do that multiple times without fail.
@@marqimoth6987 i think he means hes doing it with the tas mechanics too
Cool. Now Beat Kaizo Mario 64 With 1.05c A Presses
6:09???
I’m confused why TAS pause the game multiple times
bismuth explained why they do that on slopes in this clip
ua-cam.com/users/clipUgkxy80IWRsV4HA6zp5M0vsHxbYd2Kln5lrR
and explained why they do it when grabbing objects in this
ua-cam.com/users/clipUgkx7RkfufR9sHoA1fxk8b4JYxAfVl69cBYJ
pretty sure pause buffered hitstun is used when it pauses a lot
There's pause buffered hitstun, snuffit manipulation, and buffering of consecutive b presses for frame consecutive dive recovers.
@@ccgarciab I didn't even know that snuffit manipulation is
@@marqimoth6987 same ive heard of scuttlebug transportation, fly guy manipulation and pendulum manipulation but what is snuffit manipulation?
It’s too hard for me!
why clone an explosion before actually cloning the goomba at trial #61?
The explosion clone is necessary to make the bob-omb run into it and blow up later when I'm on trial 62, which is necessary so it can respawn after I've grabbed the cork box so I can clone it.
@@lemon9bug oh wow ok
Good TAS
2:59-3:02
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhjjhhhhhhhhhhhghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh?
Hey, lemon. Can I do that, too?
probably not, you have to do many frame perfect inputs
Nice try! Could be a little better though
This is matrix level shit
