*That one person who left their game on for 2401 days to unlock Luigi*

"This Goomba could be a threat in a few days"

That Goomba probably gained sentience during those 27 days lol

This is probably the closest a mario 64 video has ever got to watching paint dry

Meanwhile at the office, Nathaniel's electricity bill is screaming numbers. Kudos to you for your dedication to these videos.

"I left Mario 64 running for 27 days and this is what happened" *well for starters my power bill was way higher than last month*

"lone and behold"? Never heard that one before. "Osk-ill-ating"

his power bill : "please, have mercy" him : "once you touch the ceiling thats 27 days above you, then we can talk about 'mercy'"

Meanwhile at Bowser’s place. Bowser: Huh, I don’t remember that platform being that high.

Mario’s legs must really ache after all that standing

3:57 "loan and behold" You hurt my soul.

This feels like the premise of a humorous of chilling short story, a man encounters an Anomaly into the world and is inexplicably drawn to it

"Oskillating" "Lone and behold"

Sure, leaving SM64 on for 27 days is all well and good, but it's got nothing on leaving your DS in Sleep Mode for 6 months only to open it up and have it turn on again. That's REAL gaming.

Crash was incidental and a product of your box giving up. Eventually the platforms reach the y=0 coordinate and just stay there until you enter the bowser fight, because that's how the glitch is happening: the WiiVC version's rounding mode for the platforms' y position is rounding "towards 0" instead of "towards nearest float value" like every other release

This kind of videos just convince me more and more that this game is a living being.

I was truly invested in this story, it felt like 127 hours but even more intense.

“I thought it would take longer to get this high” -Nathaniel Bandy

Am I understanding this correctly? Dark Fire Heroes has an option for the game to play itself for you? Is...is that seriously one of their selling points?

This was one of the most undying video games of all time. The fact were still playing it and finding things out in 2022 is a testament to its legacy

It's incredible it ran that long without crashing for other reasons, and didn't break massively along the way

Mario must’ve had a damn good sleep

4:04 when you try drugs for the first time

0:11 "This is my favourite analysis channel" "Ok but why" "To awnser that, were gonna need to talk about parallel universes"

Mario goes from hell to heaven, literally by doing nothing.

to clarify why they rise in the wii version but not any others, when the n64 has to round a number, it rounds to the nearest, so when it rounds the position of those platforms as they bob up and down, it gets rounded up just as often as it gets rounded down, so no overall movement, whereas the wii will round a number towards zero, causing it to slowly approach the y position zero, which is higher than where the platform starts. once it reaches 0 it wont be able to go higher since the rounding will start pushing it down.

I don't think I've ever heard anyone pronounce the "C" in oscillate before lol

"My favorite thing about today's sponsor is that I don't have to even play the game, and I can even make it play itself faster!"

Plot twist: He just wanted to flex his gaming PC collection on us.

Bowser’s just like: “Where is Mario? Did he fall into a coma?”

Hornetly, for both my sanity and bank account, I would've sped it up if I did that experiment.

OMG the "c" in "oscillating" is silent.

I imagine this is similar to the pickup slide used in Twilight Princess low%, where an animation "loop" is missing it's last frame, so every time the animation loops, either Link in that game or these platforms here just start the next animation loop very slightly offset from the last. OR it could be for a different reasons here, idk. It's cool regardless!

When the platform rises into the skybox, that's where you unlock Yoshi

5:00 my callouts on rainbow six

Electric bill 📈

This is something I'd never expect to see, but I welcome it with open arms. Amazing video! :)

This turned from “blue platform go brrrrrr” to “Nathaniel goes insane because he can’t move”

I love how Nathaniel narrates this like a survival movie

That has to be one of the smoothest and natural ad transitions I've ever seen

Nintendo dev: there's a slight issue. Some platforms might levitate indefinitely if game run for more than a day continuously. Nintendo Publisher: no one is gonna run this game that long. Nathaniel:

7:35 "What happens if an unstoppable force meets an immovable object?"

did you actually do it in real time or you just sped up the emulator off camera to simulate a 24 hour pass and film in between ?

1:07 Using Those Angry Birds Dream Blast Renders of the Angry Birds Trio Is at Least a Crime in 69 Countries

Your capture cards were like “not gonna be a part of this degeneracy.”

The fact that you could make an entire video about a slow moving platform is hilarious

This is actually a good video, it's rare that a "what happens if..." video like this contains anything substantial. Usually they are a huge waste of time.

That's some serious dedication. So what if you could just hack the clock speed of the engine, turning it into a hyperbolic time chamber?

"One of the things I did was play Darkfire Heroes!" lol, doubt

the C is soft in oscillating

0:58 That one green mushroom staring Mario's soul 💀

How tf did you manage to make a video about waiting this interesting and exciting, I have no idea. But you absolute madman, you really did it.

Best way to play SM64 AFK

How about Nandy does a timelapse of that so we can see the platform rising slowly?

Well, now I'm curious to see if it can raise up through the ceiling. Also I wish we could've seen the other rising platforms on the top half.

Reminds me of that one legend of Zelda twilight princess speed run where you stare at a ruppee for like 17 hours

I discovered myself that the longer set of these platforms on the upper part of the stage actually do the opposite - eventually they will sink below not only the lava, but also the basin containing said lava! In fact, Mario can eventually walk along the platforms while they are under the basin, by jumping up to them from the rising and falling ladder platforms.

>oskillating >lone and behold >climatic bone apple tea

when the video ended I was like "oh, thats it?" and also, I just realized you're that guy SIMPle flips keeps memeing about

"An A press is an A press" - Ghandi

“Godspeed!” Mario: “and i took-a that literally the opposite.”

I love the end. I literally laughed because I didn't expect the video to end just like that

Nathan: i will keep my Mario 64 running for 27 days 27 days later Nathan: What the #@*% Electricity bill:5000 dollars.

Other RU-vidrs: *Elaborate outro containing sponsorships, shoutouts, self promotions, and music* This guy: _okbye_

4:19 Goomba Stomping Simulator: Neutral Ending

7:47 Holy Hell this guy is really trying to cope with his massive balding.

Him clipping through the platform isn't about the bottom having no collisions. - doing that would be unoptimized and could potentially bring about other issues in regards to the player's collision box and its physics interactions. - First of all, to say the "Bottom" didn't have collisions that would require having that specific game object being built with numerous collision boxes, which is never the case, if that were the case then much larger bugs would arise than simply clipping through the bottom. If the bottom didn't have collisions then it would simply clip through it instead of pushing the character to the proper side. The ground has a marker so the physics check knows the player is on the ground, the act of him being pushed to the other side is caused by the "Ground Check" function they made in the collision box's physics checks. As soon as the character comes into contact with the ground it places him automatically on the platform, that's why it looks like he is replaced there within 1 frame instead of merely clipping through the bottom as a Ghost would. this is typically in play because of the jump system working together with the gravity implementation to prevent any buggy instances in jumping. :D the more you know. Now this isn't guaranteed to be the reason of course, as I have not made this game, but I have remade it several times through the help of deconstructing a crack version, this is merely my insight through my 11 years of programming experience

1:07 The fact that he used an image from Angry Birds Dream Blast is a sin.

Random video idea I thought of: Can you beat SpongeBob Battle for Bikini Bottom and Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated at the same time?

3:12 another sheep willingly being led to slaughter LOL

havent watched this man in years, still as funny and entertaining!

Here's an idea, do it again, but let Mario get crushed.

Legend says that mario is still sleeping

Reminds me of the guy that went of vacation for a month and came back only to realize he had left his N64 on. The game had a lot of visual glitches and the music was weird due to being left on for so long but apparently after cooling down the N64 and the game were fine

I like how you spent 27 days doing this and ending it with “ok bye”

damn, bowser's gotta get a better elevator, took almost 4 weeks to arrive at it's destination and it simply destroyed the universe once it did so

It's been like 20 years and we're still finding out stuff about Mario 64

27 days in 8 minutes lol why was I so invested in this video with suspense

I once left my PlayStation running a month straight so I could save up my allowance for a memory card

This game has such unsettling energy because of weird stuff like this, I love it

"i left mario running for 27 days" his legs are gone

Bowser:"what do you mean he's just standing on that platform? WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT'S FLOATING?!"

Nathan: Mario might be in an internal sleep (dead) he was napping for 6 days Also Nathan: Okay bye

The platforms move towards the middle height of the level, i.e. y=0. So even if it didn't crash, they would stop moving upward once their y coordinate reached zero. There are similar platforms at the top of the level, and they actually move downward because y=0 is below them.

In the emortal word of Darwin: "...Well that was anticlimactic."

4:39 You're right. Bridges in Bowsers level has the same thing, there're even speedrunning strats using that

7:39 Marios asleep for ever

"Yo nathan, Wanna join us for a video" "Can't, Gotta leave the ol 64 on for 27 days for a video"

Comic book guy on Simpsons as he notices the death missile arriving at his face: "Oh, I've wasted my life"

4:23 that goomba don't look very happy tbh xD

7:30 among us

I never knew about this glitch!

Fascinating. Certainly was a fun little experiment. I knew it wouldn’t come without crashing, though.

This was so thrilling to watch live on stream for 27 days straight!!

To be honest, I was waiting for some kind of jumpscare during the outro...

"We all lay in bed, as we always do" Me: *Laughs in Camping*

level geometry like the moving platforms spawn as the area is loaded. it will not despawn unless passing a loading zone, like the underwater city in wet dry world.

love how u ended it with "ok bye"

5:24 Nathaniel gets a taste of Bathaniel's life.
