Miscellaneous Observations

  • I go over miscellaneous observations that I’ve accumulated over the years, which are from both my own investigations and from being informed by other people (e.g. Tyler Kehne, Peter Fedak, Dennis, bad_boot, Ethan White, Plush, 1ted59).
    Usually when I learn something interesting, I'll make a video about it (e.g. how sleeping/blinking works, that the DDD manta ring index resets after 10,000). However, I often encounter things that are just a little interesting, but not so much as to warrant their own video. In these cases, I'd just jot it down in my notes for later. Since this list of semi interesting observations accumulated so much, I figured I'd finally make them all into their own video.
    Note that I deliberately excluded the following observations:
    (1) Ones that are already present on The Cutting Room Floor (bit.ly/2xSNedR)
    (2) Ones that are already well known (e.g. the old-style Mario and Bowser graphics on the final pillars in BitS, that the CCM racing penguin gets larger after 120 stars)
    (3) Ones that I’ve covered elsewhere (e.g. the mystery goomba, the new impossible coin)
    I’ve excluded these because this video is meant to highlight things that I haven’t really seen be covered elsewhere, and is not meant to cover things that are already commonly known or accessible.
    For convenience, here are the timestamps of the sections of the video:
    00:00 Misleading Objects
    02:03 Miscellaneous Object/Geometry
    06:58 Textures
    08:47 Entering and Exiting
    11:15 Testing Doing Various Things
    13:50 Mistakes
    16:18 Miscellaneous
    Corrections:
    (1) As SuperM789 ! pointed out, it's meant to take 31 stars to access the second toad, not 30. I forgot to account for the DDD sub star blocking the entrance to BitFS.

      As someone that's done a bit of construction, that would actually make a difference. Some screws need to be turned by hand with a screwdriver or else the threading won't leave a clean groove. Minor details, but sometimes they can make a big difference. Skateboarders used to screw these plastic things onto their boards so it wouldn't damage the board when they did board slides. You had to hand screw them on. If you drilled them on then the screws would break out of the wood the first time you tried to use them.
      You would be surprised how sometimes a single byte value can be what makes or breaks a speedrun strategy. There are a few speedruns that would be impossible if insignificant things were coded a slightly different way.

      Actually they're rotated to be inside Mario, look closely at his head and you'll notice his feet sticking out a little.
      It seems that the legs are not animated for some reason, as the SM64 models don't have a traditional t-pose or a-pose and instead of weird rotations with legs commonly being inside the character's head.

      +Nathan Thames Huh? That's backwards. The word 'clickbait' specifically refers to thumbnails and titles which mislead, overdramatize, or exaggerate the page content. It's an inherently subjective and negative word, so it doesn't apply to things which the speaker doesn't think of as clickbait. And most people wouldn't think of this video's thumbnail as clickbait.

      The real definition for clickbait is exactly what Nathan Thames described. However, the word is misused by people so much that the definition given by +Sid S is what people usually mean by the word.
      It's one of those cases where dictionary definition of a word is not what this word actually means. Same is somewhat true for "dank". It's definition(according to Google) is "unpleasantly damp, cold", meanwhile on the internet its meaning is accepted to be "420 be dank smoke weed everyday etc etc" - that's as best as I can explain it.

  • @PC_Simo
    @PC_Simo 5 років тому +7

    It seems to me that the game music themes have different values (not to be confused with music ID’s, which would determine, which *_SPECIFIC_* theme is played), e.g. normal level themes might have value 1 (I don’t know about the Castle theme), and the Boss theme might have value 2. Music value 0 would mean that no music is played. So, when the player enters the boss fight, normally (and initializes it, through dialogue), the music value increments; cue the boss theme; and, when the boss is defeated, the music value decrements; cue the normal level theme. But, if the player enters the boss fight without initializing it correctly, then the music value never increments (thus, the boss theme is never played); but, when the boss is defeated, the music value still decrements (since this part was done correctly). This would put the music value to 0; which would, in this model, mean that no music is played; which is, exactly, what we observe. So, when the boss is defeated, the music value isn’t set to 1, but rather decrements from, what would have, normally, been music value 2; if that makes sense :-). 🙂

    A tiny thing I've noticed, if you use C-up to look around and then pause, the skybox will remain in the same position in the pause screen. It obviously only works in levels where the pause screen shows a zoom-out of the course. But I use to do it in LLL all the time because it was really noticeable in that level, especially if you look down, the sky goes black in the pause screen.

    Oh nice! That interaction at 5:00 seems to be just like Sonic Adventure 2 handles game states. There are different game states that you can enter when you die. If you enter the "death with lives" game state, you'll be spawned back in the stage with one less life, but if you die with 0 lives, you'll enter a different game state, that will take you out of the stage entirely, so getting a life while you're in that game state doesn't change the outcome. This seems to be the same thing that's happening on SM64, so cool!

      If they wanted to make the sequences completely different, having the game make a state transition before the fade was the right choice, since you could customize the fade itself and what happened afterwards, without affecting the other transition. There's literally zero complications that arrise from doing this like they did.

    Some of these discrepancies and decisions are still in Super Mario 64 DS, however with obvious different code, and quirks left behind from the N64 version to really make it a remake and then some.
    For example:
    -The Jolly Roger Bay Star for getting Red Coins is in the same spot. You’d think there’d be a Star Marker unless the player forgot which mission they were doing.
    -100 coin Stars still disappear after leaving the area it’s in, while mission-based Stars don’t always do so.
    -The coin counter moving faster and/or slower depending on how many is collected is not the case; it’s the same speed every time, and players still get more lives for ever multiple of 50 they get in coins (50, 100, 150, 200, 250. It stops there due to 255 being the on-screen limit).
    -The key message is more vague, saying, “You don’t have the right key for this door!” instead.
    -The beeping when the metal cap is put on (by Mario in the original and Wario in the remake) is still apparent, but seems to stop correctly when your health gets filled up by collecting Coins (easiest to do underwater in Jolly Roger Bay or Dire Dire Docks)
    -Collecting flying 1-Ups does not work anymore when dying. In the DS remake, it just hovers over your head multiple times until the death transition, and unloads.
    -Wall jumping off the falling bridge in Whomp’s Fortress is useless. It only works by kicking. Yoshi can’t even breakdance kick into it to get it to fall. He would have to use the Mega Mushroom, grab onto the ledge of where the fortress is (easier said than done, the ledge grabbing is SUPER precise) and knock it down by running into it.
