Funny story, this hack refused to work for me despite setting all the graphics options and stuff correctly, and then it just... decided to work today. So I TASed it in a single day before the emulator changed its mind. RHDC.ppt is a Super Mario 64 ROM Hack (I'm not kidding, romhacking.com/hack/rhdc.ppt ) where you play as an extremely caffeine dependant office worker, forced to slog through a boring corporate presentation... that has a Super Mario 64 engine built into its slides. There's two layers of gameplay going on at once, where you both control Mario in his quest to get all the Power(point) Stars and end the presentation, and the office worker so he doesn't fall asleep and get fired. You're intended to watch your energy level and refill your cup of coffee when it runs low, but thanks to a glitch (Drinking out of your cup the instant a coworker steals it), you get infinite coffee, which means you only need to visit the coffee machine once at the start of the game. As for the actual Mario portion, it's SM64 locked to 2D (Well, 2.5D; Mario's angle can be facing into the foreground or background, which is helpful in certain sections). Thanks to TAS capabilities, many of the slides are completed with (probably) unintended solutions, and another glitch allows two of them to be outright skipped completely. Slide 1 Sliding all the way down the paint brush and jumping at the end lets us barely reach the second bar, after which I double-triple jump dive to the star. Slide 2 A simple long jump followed by a series of first-frame wall kicks reaches the star easily. Slide 3 The moving bar graph makes movement a bit cumbersome here, but I'm still able to triple jump dive up to the star instead of doing movement below. Slide 4 The first instance of complete cheesing with the glitch; Mario is considered to be on the ground for one single frame after the star dance animation is completed, which allows him to do a midair jump if the new slide's spawn point is high up in the air (I'm calling this the Spawn Jump exploit). It happens that I'm able to jump right up to where the star is, skipping the rest of the slide. Slide 5 Unfortunately, I can't cheese this one, and I'm forced to wait for stage cycles. I do manage to skip another long period of waiting by accessing a glitched portion of the last circle (Which acts as water despite being orange) thanks to conserving speed with a slide kick. Slide 6 A simple path with a moving red line graph to impede progress; I do another triple jump dive to get to the star without having to deal with it. Slide 7 In contrast to the original game, jumping off of platforms that are also moving here give you a proper momentum boost; I do a super triple jump on the second bar to launch all the way to the end. Slide 8 Another slide heavily impeded by stage cycles; I'm barely able to make it to the middle of the slide in time (As seen by the bar pushing me to the right), but I have to wait regardless. Slide 9 Another momentum boosted triple jump (Followed by a momentum boosted dive) to reach the star Slide 10 The Spawn Jump Exploit unfortunately doesn't make it to the very top of the slide, so I have to fall down and complete it "normally" (Which involves a triple jump wallkick to skip it anyway). Slide 11 You have to enter the door to reach the rest of the slide, as the upper corner is bounded by walls and stuff. Otherwise simple platforming. Slide 12 You can't just use the trampoline to reach the star on the left, as the developers foresaw this and put an invisible ceiling there. I'm still able to cheese it without using the yellow trampoline by placing the red one right at the edge. Slide 13 A slide with a slide. I slide on the slide until I reach max speed, and jump straight into the star. Slide 14 Thanks to the Spawn Jump Exploit also conserving speed, I'm able to do a super jump to skip this slide too. Slide 15 This one is four mini-slides, of which I do unintended strategies for three of them. Slide 16 I stand on the buttons for as little time as possible so that I'm barely able to make it to the star. Slide 17 By doing a very precise triple jump dive to grab the red trampoline, I'm able to bring it to the second platform without needing the yellow one. Slide 18 Similar concept to Slide 16.
I'm just amazed they even thought of this. Like not only did they see it and go "lol what if I did a slideshow" and not only did they DO that but they made an entirely unique and well-constructed stealth game and platformer literally based off of an office presentation, *in the SM64 engine*
Gotta love the mileage you are getting from these Simpleflips Rom Hack Competitions. Especially since I have recently started to watch Simpleflips again myself.

This is by far the most creative SM64 Hack i've ever seen. I thought the game looked completely different but then there was the presentation part grabbing the stars from the different pages, i was not expecting that. Congratulations with the TAS!

What does RHDC stand for?
I love how 3 of the bad mechanics at 2:50 are avoided
Pouring one out for the homies lost to the farm 😢
Their sacrifices will never be forgotten o7
I love how this is a "Slide Hack" but not the the definition of "slide" that everyone else was thinking of. Genius
I'm just amazed they even thought of this. Like not only did they see it and go "lol what if I did a slideshow" and not only did they DO that but they made an entirely unique and well-constructed stealth game and platformer literally based off of an office presentation, *in the SM64 engine*
Listen, creativity could lead to a higher chance of winning than your typical slide, because it'll be boring after the 10th similar one.

I’m going to pretend the romhacker of this thought of this during a presentation at work
This feels like a flash game
dyllon when are you making a super explosions 64 tas
Dyllon one day: 1:26
"I gotta do it man."
Wait how is this a slide hack?
"PowerPoint slides."
...gfd
What is the pause at 2:49 for?
Pause buffered long jump, since I hit the wall on the frame after long jumping which normally doesn't give me enough time to release A.
I'd pay much more attention to slides at my work if there was a little mario speedrunning the charts and graphs
Gotta love the mileage you are getting from these Simpleflips Rom Hack Competitions. Especially since I have recently started to watch Simpleflips again myself.
It helps that all of these hacks are really really cool, from gameplay overhauls to level designs (and then desert bus 64 which is a second attempt)
I’m amazed that something like this is even possible in the sm64 engine even with decomp. An entirely new movement system too is wild (nice tas btw!)

Esto es lo mas randon que haya visto xdxd
This is a real SM64 hack!?! O_o
Is it wrong that at about 2:11, I wanted you to step on the purple bar, just to see if it actually was quicksand? ;D
