If you pick it up again, you can carry it around, and if you set it against a doorway just right, it will push Mario through doors he shouldn't technically be able to open yet.Īnd the backwards long jump stairs? Once you get to the 3rd floor, you can start a long jump in front of the stairs to the 4th floor, facing away from them, and then long jump backwards up the stairs and through the door. The biggest parts of this kind of speed run were the bunny trick and the backwards long jump stairs. If they were, i have to admit it'd be a shame. I wonder if it's still possible on the VC, or if the glitches were fixed. I only ever managed to do it twice, though. We actually figured out that you could exploit a couple of glitches to beat the game in about 20 minutes with only 16 stars, if you were good enough. I remember playing it for hours on end as a kid. Super Mario 64 is often cited as one of the greatest games ever made. This innovation quickly became a standard in the industry. Mario gained many new moves in the process, yet remained as easy to control as ever thanks to the inclusion of an Analog stick on the Nintendo 64 controller.
