Super Mario 64's "Impossible 1-Up" Has Finally Been Grabbed Without Dying

I don’t have the time nor patience to do something like this. I’ll go insane. Congrats to this fellow though.

Edit: watching that video made my brain hurt a ton.

It's amazing what is possible when you cheat. And the video is infuriating, like watching someone playing fortnite but keeps switching weapons.

It's funny how so many solutions in SM64 speedrunning just boil down to do the same thing for X hours.

I don't know what happened, or how anyone knew any of that would work, but it'll be all I think about for the rest of the day.

just a heads up for those that epilpsey like me, dont watch this.

@Mauzuri You truly captured all of Mario's lines in that video

@StarryCiel not just SM64. As someone aptly put it, speedrunners are people who spend all their time on video games in efforts to spend the least possible time on these video games.

If I were to try this, I'd definitely mute the TV. I'll stick with having a chat with Yoshi at the end of the game.

Aaaaaaagh, this was terrible. They broke the game just to grab a life? Damn they suck.

I did not like that video.

A lot is possible when it’s tool assisted

Anyone hating on speedrunners should watch some Summoning Salt, AGDQ, Linkus7, Karl Jobst, or TomatoAnus (yes that really is the name of his channel), or a whole host of other channels, you might learn something

Wait, didn't everyone used to get the 1up this way? I thought it was pretty obvious when I was a kid.

@Edu23XWiiU They suck? Because of what?

That was awful to watch and listen too!! Enjoy if its your thing but doesnt look or sound fun for me

That was seriously trippy and mesmerizing. Some people may have a seizure from watching this. Hahah

I thought the point of speedrunning was to go fast thru games? Also is he using a cheat at the end? Not an impressive accomplishment, but impressive the amount of hours spent doing something so empty and repetitive, like getting the highest score in games of yesterday, so glad gaming has come such a long way

But what happens at the end when there’s that funny noise and Mario rises up and then he just reappears in the tunnel with the mushroom?! What?! That’s surely cheating, my brain hurts now

ya wha who ya wa ho ya wha who ya wa ho ya wha who ya wa ho ya wha who ya wa ho ya wha who ya wa ho ya wha who ya wa ho ya wha who ya wa ho ya wha who ya wa ho ya wha who ya wa ho ya wha who ya wa ho ya wha who ya wa ho ya wha who ya wa ho ya wha who ya wa ho

I don’t think people have quite grasped what ‘TAS’ is or what it’s for…

Yes, he’s cheating, but that’s sort of the point. It’s not about testing the limits of human skill (as with standard speedrunning), but about pushing the limits of the game by prising it open with a precision tool.

It still takes a lot of ingenuity and knowledge of the game in order to programme TAS in such a way that it can lay the game bare like this. This kind of machine-based manipulation then often feeds back into standard, human-operated speedrunning.

It’s quite fascinating seeing what weird and warped realities can be squeezed out of familiar video game worlds with the right kind of massaging.

I’d say that video should come with a photosensitive epilepsy warning guys

Okay, that messed with my head a little bit. Perhaps a warning should be implemented like others have suggested.

Ya ya ya ya woo woo ya ya woo woo…
Great stuff. There is something oddly entertaining about videos like this for me Kind of like pannenkoek‘s stuff.

takes the cake for the most absurd tas Ive ever seen

A warning indeed. Induced a headache here 😅

that's outrageous! and contagious...

@TopazLink Learn that I have a lot of ADD and zero patience.

The combination of sound and image is madness- inducing.

That video should come with a warning. Mario might have got his 1-up mushroom but I felt like I was on mushrooms watching that video.

@ArchRex wasting our time with crap?

@Edu23XWiiU Wow you sure sound wacky. Look up the meaning of the word TAS please.

I feel dizzy now.

Hmm, just some glitch exploitation deal, I thought this would be something legit.

epilepsy trigger alert

@ArchRex and you should mind your own business.

@Edu23XWiiU Now that's the sound of someone who just didn't have a solid reason to say that kind of comment in the first place!

@ArchRex it's just dumb, breaking the game like that. People that don't have lives do that type of stuff hahahaha.
