I was surprised at how easily simple this is. I knew about the trick and tried doing what I thought was the technique on my own but failed. Turns out I was doing it right the whole time, I probably wasn't tapping A fast enough. After about 2-3 attempts after watching this I glitched my way up those stairs a few times.
Six years ago, while your elocution might not have been great, you made a very helpful and informative tutorial. You didn't get it perfect the first time, and through attempting to fix your mistake, you helped inoculate your viewers against self-doubt when they failed several times. Thank you.
That's a strangely really nice thing to say! I had / still kinda have a speech impediment that makes it hard to pronounce certain words. Thank you for the kind words!
@@GregMacD I watched the whole thing and honestly didn’t notice any speech impediment. I work with people with thick accents so it has completely desensitized me to any “abnormalities” in speech. I’ve started to listen for the content of the words rather than the accuracy how it’s pronounced. I would bet that for multilingual people, your impediment is so minor that it’s unnoticeable unless they’re actively trying to hear it.
Yep I wondered if I maybe had to hold Z while I was watching you play, and BOOM been trying this for a week now, can’t believe: I’m 30 played this religiously and never heard of this glitch...now my 3 year old and I are obsessed with doing it lol thanks a lot man!!!
Awww that's unbelievable! I'm glad I can bring out a bit more joy from this game! The great thing about speed running Mario 64 is that there is actually very few 'tricks' you have to perform, with this being the hardest. You can go at your own pace and still impress everyone you know :P So glad to hear that you and your kid enjoy it!
That depressing moment when you realize they patched this glitch in the 3D All-Stars remake :’( Edit: or I guess they used the Japanese version which unfortunately doesn’t have the glitch
I can do it more consistently now. So here are my notes. I play on the emulator Project v1.6 and Xbox 360 controller. * You have to rapidly mash A/jump button right after he lands. You should practice timing this because you don't have to continuously mash the A/jump button all throughout. * You won't be able to execute the move just using your thumb to mash the A/jump button. You have to do the backwards long jump and then position your hand so you can quickly mash the A/jump button AFTER he lands. * For the 50-star door, try to align yourself on the stairs as in the video. It's easier to backwards long jump when you can just hold up or down with no varied angles. Use the Mario camera and extend it. * You'll notice Mario begin to motion to speed up and after this motion, if you don't tap the jump button fast enough, he'll just cancel and do a simple jump. Right when that speed up motion occurs, you need to smash the jump button quickly and the continue to smash quickly to successfully pull it off. (See 1:08 for an example, Mario will glide upward across the stairs and make a stutter noise). * Sometimes you may immediately pass through the door or you may hit the wall. If you hit the wall, you still might be able to get through if you had gained enough speed prior to that, so continue to do a couple more BLJs to see if that works. * It's easier to just reset if you don't get it before moving past the middle of the stairs. Just reset and try to get the trick before reaching the upper half of the stairs.
I cant get it :/ I did it like 5 times but all the time I spent almost 20 min on it but just in the 50 stars door I dont know what Im doing wrong Mario goes fast but nothing happens
My only question is: are you sure you are playing a viable version of it? Virtual Consoles / Emulator's work fine. But if you're playing the remake it will not work. If not, my only suggestion would be to keep at it, and pay close attention to the controller display in the video. Where the analog stick is pointing as A LOT to do with this working or not. Let me know if you get it :)
I play the emulator on the wii (not64) bc I have problems running the virtual console Yesterday I get it at the first try in both stairs But today I cant get it on the 50 stars door :/
Yea I guess you could use pause buffering for BLJ's. The only issue would be finding the exact frame where Mario starts skipping the steps. And since the trick is dependent on when you're jumping and where you are on the stairs I guess it could be really difficult. Either way, if you think that could help for sure try it!!
It's actually not. Other than the DS version all of the Mario 64 ports are the same. Not sure if this is to make speed runner's lives easier or not, but it is handy.
In Mario Odyssey inside the inverted pyramid. There is an 8-bit mural, with three purple coins. You have to jump up and then hit a block jump up and jump backwards and jump up and jump backwards. How is this done. do you tap the letter B via tap the letter Y. Do you move the controller to the right and left is this magic for timing?
That's super common. It likely more has to do with the mashing speed. If you listen to how fast actual speed runners mash it's unreal. Keep practicing, it sounds like you are really close.
help im backwords long jumping but for a second marios going fast then he turns around and starts doing normal jumps and im very looking at controller display
What do I do to stop the camera from turning? If I can't do I change the direction of the control stick towards the top of the stairs or just hold up the whole time while the camera swerves around Mario?
I believe you might be thinking of the 1981 arcade game donkey kong. This is actually the 1996 game Super Mario 64. While I'm sure the latter game took some influences from the original 1981 title, they are two completely different games.
You're going to hate me, but honestly just make sure you're holding down that Z button as tight as you can. That usually happens due to it not being held when you land after a jump. Either that or just not spamming quick enough.
i know I am late but I am having a problem, when I mash fast enough, mario starts the blj for like less then half a second then all off a sudden reverts to normal jumping instead of long jumping, I am literally holding the crouch button down as hard as I can but it does not work, help?
Hey! What I would try is try mashing only when Mario is close to touching the stairs... kinda like just doing bursts of mashing really fast. Also make sure your camera is angled like in the video, those things usually help me.

No it is not, only the n64 or emulations of the n64 version have this but. I believe you can do it on the Wii / Wii U virtual console though.

I have it on the Mario angle but Mario keeps doing regular jumps for some reason after 4-5 BLJs

Do you ude the DS version?
That's likely because you aren't spamming A fast enough. You get kicked out of doing long jumps if you don't time your landing right.
I swear I'm not trying to be a dick but Steve is probably right.
Thanks. At first, I had trouble, but then I just spammed hard enough and I got it.
