  • What started as a TAS only, pipe dream of a trick, would over the course of a decade, change the landscape of Super Mario 64 speedrunning forever. This is the story of that trick. This is the story of Carpetless.

    Nice video! I did not invent the double glitchy wallkick strategy itself, this already existed as a TAS strategy. I just used some computational tools I wrote (which in turn relied on a recompiled version of the game by Bad Boot) to find somewhat consistent RTA setups. See Crackhex's comment for more info. Also, Circumark has come up with a bunch of reroutes for 120 to do carpetless earlier (more relevant for the old bob-omb strat), and helped investigate and identify more possible setups after the first couple dropped.

    dude forgot that lunar jump was the first person to hit the gwk carpetless in a run, it wasn't a very good run and it took him several attempts but THATS MY GOAT

    Hey, SM64 TASer here. I want to note that the history about the TAS version of the carpetless is somewhat inaccurate. Regarding the discovery of the trick, there was originally a video in 2009 by blazesoul13 which was an attempt at this strategy, however it failed due to lack of height caused by a bad angle from the 2nd wallkick, after the first gwk. This was re-investigated after a video of someone with altered physics did what blazesoul had attempted, but succeeded. The community then investigated this, and Iwer + Frame were able to demonstrate a new type of glitchy wallkick possible due to the geometry. This strat likely would not have been found for some more time until someone else started trying to find it, and that could have been years. I uploaded the full TAS of this strat to my channel, and now have an updated one on my channel as well, which I am rather happy about now. TAS evolution of this star is very interesting, so I wish you had probed our conmunity for some research.
    If you had wanted to look a bit more into the old history of carpetless, there are some old niconico videos, along with plenty of un archived runs on an old JP wiki you likely wont find without specifically searching archives of old TAS content. Mario64Masters, while the first to do it, had a run slower than is possible with the carpet. The first person to upload a faster time was blazesoul on march 11th 2010. There was also a 40 second run uploaded two days later to niconico, so snark's run was only slightly faster than that.
    I also have a sub 21 second run palix helped me with, that I still need to upload :)

    • @comradealita
      @comradealita 21 день тому +3

      Idk if calling it a common use in speedruns is appropriate. I'm not a SM64 runner, but I do pay attention to the community and, pretty much only top level runners use it. not mid or bottom tier runners. to say it's a common used strat is kinda exaggerating the strategy.
