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 :)
@ObliviousBear while I would love to do that, I'm not good at video making/editing, and would likely do a terrible job. I am absolutely willing to help anyone who wishes to do that tho :p
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.
You do a great job at blending technical terms with easy to understand concepts to get the complex strategies across while keeping it all super intriguing and captivating. Great vid as always connor!
Very nice documentary on speedrunning! Makes me wonder how much close we truly are from perfection. It's possible that 1:36 will be the limit unless someone discovers something exceptional like ACE similar to OoT or something like that.
watching this makes me wish i was a part of the 120 star community, ive wanted to get into sm64 speedrunning since i was a kid and this video has sparked my interest again

Aragorn would be proud.
He uploads once/year so it's only just about time

Oh, so this is why the algorithm put you into my recommended section the other day. It was presciently introducing me to your channel.

Would love to see anything you put together about the history of TASing sm64, whether it's carpetless or not!

so true babe

There's nothing like the comfort of a documentary on a niche subject from your favorite game. Nice vid
You make really good videos dude, you should be proud of your work.
Nice documentary.
yes
It's copying an already existing video essay almost word by word at some points, though.
Its finaly here! it was a great watch and defo lived up to the hype I had for our once a year upload!
This is awesome. Your storytelling and editing are top notch and it's always great learning about a Speedrun I had never heard of
It's so crazy how carpetless was first impossible and now is a common use in speedruns. Great Video Connor!

Every year is a good year when Connor01 posts.
When the world needed him the most he returned!!!
Insanely good video bro! I just wish it were more often
New Connor01 video. Clean up on aisle MY PANTS!!!!!!!!
Nice to have you back
Wake up babe new Connor01 video dropped!
Great work, congrats on another release
Huge
Great video Connor
Good to see you back
7:08 when he woohoo’s like Mario that made me laugh so hard😂
1:55 is clearly super mario 64 DS, I'm certain of it. Bless up, carpetless on that game has existed for years lol
Omg Corner this was an awesome sauce video 🔥
THE GOAT IS BACK (i knew from the discord 😎😎😎😎)
2:54 “Hey guy…s it’s m…. eee conn… or01”
Here you are, you F#*%ING Legend!!
Yearly video is here lets goooo
THIS IS A CERTIFIED HOOD CLASSIC!!🔥🔥🔥
Don't you dare leaving us for another year Connor you can't do us like this
the community was in remiss
Nice to see you again
PEAKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
In Connor01 we trust 🙏🙏
Dang. Just now seeing this. 🔥
We are back boys
YES the king is back
Excelent video
Aladdin been real quiet since this dropped
“This trick is so hard he used save states to do attempts”😂
certified banger
You gotta react to satellites or luck as a constant from them. Thats some of their best songs imo.
Great video!
Yay
Lets Go!!!
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Yearly upload schedule is oddly respectable.
This is insane
he back 🔥
12:31 Shoutout to VeganBootySweat. Glad they're imortalized in this recording.
HE RETURNS
he returned
Sick video man
HEEE'S BAAAAACK
NEW VIDEO YAHOOOO
He is back
finally 😅
Lets goooo
He's back 😭
Can you do world record history of super mario galaxy 2?
Amazing
My goat
YOO LETS GOO
6:23 snowfan?
The meme became real
Now do a video about the office or something epic
Maybe next year
hi connor01
He is alive. Huh
6:26 *snowfan and toadmans
What about GOAT Mikko and GOAT Shake 😭
I feel like I've seen this somewhere
Monday left 120 star broken
The History of Carpetless in Super Mario 64
yeah
Yearly upload
2:59 gd top 1s in like a year
real
Its wild because i feel like i recently watched an SM64 100% speedrun, but apparently not. Will have to watch the new strat using cartpetless.
I feel like 5 minutes at the start to explain why you can't just jump there or fly with the wing cap or launch with a cannon would be good
Nonsense
idk if id call carpetless the most iconic trick, BLJ is right there
W vid
Wait a minute, this isn't summoning salt
This guy’s probably from a PU where he IS Summoning Salt.
cool
Babe, I missed you.
Comeback PLEASE! 😫
:)
Jumping? Like, with the A button?
🤮🤮🤮
Bro uploads yearly videos
hi connor
Hey
Someone is gonna hail mary this trick and somehow pull it off in a run and buttfuck the category permanently
First
