I love watching these because it's like watching a wizard or nuclear physicist at work. "First we need to do the Blue House Skip, then the Partner Action Storage, then the Arby's Item Duplication, then have Goombario as your partner and slowly walk backward along the lower-right seam while breathing through your mouth, use your hammer immediately on the frame when Shigeru Miyamoto smiles at you and then, if everything is done right, we are now the Kings of Narnia."
@@RealityMasterRogue That does bring up a very interesting question of difficulty. But yeah, Badge Duplication isn't *technically* the most difficult glitch to pull off unless you count how much of a test of patience it is. It's mostly just really specific inventory management and routing.
Devs before ''I think we made the Game too boring'' Devs later ''Now that these suckers execute these fkin badass glitches everyone wants to play this game!''
Amazing glitches, and I can see why most of these aren't done in real time runs with all their frame and pixel perfect tricks, but they must make for one hell of a TAS.
Hope you guys enjoy this new video! I'll be honest, I wasn't expecting it to take 2 months, but I suppose I underestimated the difficulty of getting footage for these glitches. Plus, I've been busy with college and real life, etc. 4K quality options should be available within the next few days; unfortunately, it takes a very long time to process for these longer videos. Thankfully, that shouldn't matter too much since it is a Nintendo 64 game, after all. As always, if you guys need me to clarify a glitch or have any questions, don't hesitate to ask! I'll try to respond as soon as possible :)
+LuigiSpeed7 Need to record it in 1080p (I use the Roxio HD Gamecap Pro) and then upres it in a video program. Even though it wasn't recorded in native 4K it looks better imo, but that might just be the placebo effect.
Man, very well made video. The parts where you plot out exactly where mario goes during the glitch as well as the frame by frame really help illustrate what's happening. These videos are getting better and better. Keep it up, brah.
Wait wait wait so you have to do a triple reverse backflip medium rare on the left toe, find the subsequent root of a hexadecimal while manning the starboard side of an intergalactic meatball and you should be able to do it, right?
Drinking game: Take a shot every time he says perfect. On second thought, don't do that. I don't want you to die from too much alcohol. *DO NOT DO THIS*
When you were drawing on the map to explain the final glitch, it felt like one of those South Park parodies where they completely exaggerate something to ridicule it. That's how preposterously difficult it looks, and I can only imagine how much more difficult it is to actually perform
Very good watch. At times I feel like calling these "glitches" understates the ludicrous amount of effort they require - with frame/angle/pixel-perfect timing and positioning required to pull them off, they feel more like wizardry than mistakes.
Great video as always! You could really see the effort you put in this. The quality is getting better and better among your other Top 10s. It's easy to understand and very informative despite all the technical stuffs. 😁 Also that bomb ass voice. 😏
You just have to love the N64. It has the craziest glitches. I'm mostly into Mario 64 and Banjo glitches but people found awesome stuff for basically every major N64 game. Lovely.
something that might be cool for the glitch videos is if there was some way to show the controller inputs at the same time so you can see how complex it is
Dynomation4 there are some programs for that but i dont think people use them with this kind of glitches as most of them tend to be so difficult to do that you cant learn them by watching the controller
Dynomation4 Andy from A+ Start uses that on some of his videos. He even did a video on Paper Mario, although it was one of his older ones so I don't think he had the controller map. He did say that the blue house skip was the hardest glitch he ever performed, so that should put the video into perspective ;)
i remember when i first came across paper mario speedruns in 2012 and them being 4hours, seeing all this progress is just insane like how amazing and fast a tas has got to be now
You know what’s crazy AS HELL? One time I was playing Paper Mario on the N64 (original console and original controller), and I did the background swap on my FIRST try on the Star Spirit card that spawns on the chapter where you obtain Lakilester. Sadly, it was on the N64, so instead of the background being swapped, I couldn’t see anything at all. *now thats what I call insane.* (this had to be at least 5 years ago, though)
It seems like the star spirit card in Tutankoopa's lair is significantly easier to do the background swap on (on Wii U VC at least), either that or I was extremely lucky.
I rly do wonder how people discovered something that requires a ridiculous amount of extremely precise actions within usually 1 second. Have you spoken with any of the people who actually discovered these glitches? How did they discover them? acidental, on purpose using prior knowledge of glitches? I'm very intrigued as to how people would even be able to discover such incredibly difficult glitches without such knowledge as "hold up-right for X amount of time with a FP switch to up-left" and so forth. The amount of time it must've taken to discover/pull off these glitches for the very first time had to have been crazy!
Way too specific to be accidental. It had to be figured out from having one of those weird falling out of bounds glitches happen by accident, plus maybe some GameShark/hacking manipulation
iv been told by a couple glitch hunters they are normally found by a ton of luck, a ton of fucking around and/or finding tiny mess ups in the code .... the other way is trying to recreate what some lucky/unlucky person accidently found or recorded so yeah...
+gavin mccullough I could imagine that they just play the game normally until they perform an action that has a weird consequence. Then they would push it as far as they can. I suppose that would make sense.
Stryder7x!!!! quick question! how do people find these glitches? do people ( like yourself I'm assuming ) play the game and just try to find them? because that must take a really long time? if so, it must be a very rewarding feeling when you finally find one!
+Dillon McCown Basically, I started speedrunning this game a few years ago, and made a lot of close friends involved in the Paper Mario community. Eventually, I got bored with speedruns, and started working on figuring out glitches that could be potentially useful for completing the game faster. Well, I didn't have a lot of success finding timesaving glitches, but I did come across a lot of cool stuff. The process is just playing the game with the mindset of "combining two things at the same time." Like pausing into a star spirit card, or using a partner against a wall in a certain way. Once a few glitches are known, we're able to theorize new ways of applying them elsewhere, and we often discover new things when testing ideas. It's a simultaneously tedious, creative, and logical process, but the resulting excitement in discovering something cool is unforgettable.
I do remember another glitch after fighting the Crystal King. That's when the boss's introduction music keeps playing after the fight and still goes on until you collect the Star Spirit card or leave the boss room.
Chuck Norris can do these first try with one of those worn out n64 controllers with the wobbly analog stick. (But in all honesty it's absolutely mind boggling how anyone even conceptualizes the process of these glitches. Some hardcore gamers must be completely mental.)
I clearly didn't follow through #2 very clearly, because I was taken back by sheer shock when I realised that the real Mario was on the other side of the mirror/glass! The fact that he had his 'reflection' on the foreground side of the mirror/glass is really interesting!
+Joshua “BadTimerSans [TSG]” Edwards As someone that helped find some of these, it usually starts with a theory. Most commonly, this is something like "If we can do x we can skip this thing for speedruns." Then we construct more theories attempting to figure out all the different possible ways we can achieve that, and work together through Skype and other messaging / voice programs. Basically we're a group of online friends that met through a similar interest (Paper Mario) and have gained an understand of the game at a complex level. It's a lot of fun and we love sharing the discoveries with you guys.
+Joshua “BadTimerSans [TSG]” Edwards People so Bored with their favorite games they need to play it differently to even have fun. That or they have no life. Most likely the ladder.
amazing glitches, you guys are so damn clever for discovering this stuff. awesome to see these glitches and how they work and what they allow you to do, time saving ones really are awesome for speedrunners. i've only ever done blue house skip once, and it took me like 2 days of trying lol
MrSpammo Unless a game has simultaneous worldwide release date bugs fixes (and sometimes balance tweaks based on player feedback) are applied to releases in regions that got the game later.
+Tsavorite Prince +FrostyP Often that is the case, yes; however, in this specific instance, it doesn't really apply for most of the glitches Stryder7x shows off: most of them can be done on any version of the game. It just happens that a Japanese-language version has less text boxes to skip through.
I dont understand a majority of the shit he said in this video. Mostly because i never played paper mario and as it seems, lakilester/Laki Lester/Lakitu named lester/Whatever is a really fucked up character.
this man clearly is very dedicated to his youtube chanel and deserves a medal for his hard work in preforming these absurd glitches that are giving me a headache just hearing about
You know, it's really late, I should be sleeping, I'm tired, and I'm hearing a crap ton of precise and physics-y stuff, can I just play the game? And hopefully beat it too. But I just can't comprehend the big words right now. But great job dude.
I tried to perform the Waterless Lake Glitch and succeeded. I didn't know it is possible to do that on the PAL version, but the game is worth trying. Frame-Perfect jumps are nuts and I respect you for being able to perform such unbelievable hard glitches (like shown in the video). I am trying to perform the Background Swap Glitch myself on my N64. Do you know if it is possible to perform it on the PAL version? If you don't know, I'll tell you when I did it.
+SILBERfische Hasn't been tested on PAL so it'd be nice to know if you manage to pull it off! One thing we learned after I finished commentating this video is that Background Swap MUST be done immediately after beating the boss. Leaving and re-entering the room will not work, so you have to fight the boss each attempt :(
Very Obviously Fake Draco Malfoy | Oh great, now there's fake versions of Harry Potter characters on RU-vid. It could be worse, I might have to see 100 Harry Potter clones someday..
I know it's kinda the nature of speedrunning, but blue house skip looks so much easier than it is. Over an hour in, I landed it once, and while I don't think I'll be running PM at a high level anytime soon, I'm sure it'll look a lot more impressive to me next time I see someone else do it in a few attempts. Thanks for explaining these in such an understandable way.
OMG my brainnnnnn!!!!!! How are you in COLLEGE and you know all this? At my age I probably shouldn't be watching complex things yet anyway, but it's so entertaining!!! I respect you sir!
