Yeah, so I been looking at Google video way to much.

Is that video for real? I mean no cheats active?

And was it done on an emulator or real N64?

anyway still pretty impressive. Took me a week to do just some of that, lol!

Saw this a while ago, and yep it looks real. I've known about some of those tricks for a long time.

I don't think exploiting bugs is fair. Plus, it says it is tool assisted.

[revl8er]

What tool was used to make the person jump so fast. Also how did he jump backwards fast like he did to get through the star door and to get up the stairs?

[Clements]

Tool assisted means use of save states, so the guy really did the various stuff, just not in a single sitting. He jumped backwards using rapid backward long jumps on the stairs to get through the star door.

ok wtf... i swear you had to throw bowser into the bombs 3 times, not just once. secondly, the whomp at the top of the fortress (level 2) also takes 3 hits (i just watched another, slower time-attack), how did he defeat him in one?

[timmyhawky]

i found too some movies how to get those gliches
nd i found too one and the info says: tool assisted

[Ryukai]

Ya I seen that before, its pretty crazy he must've practiced a long time. Google video can keep someone entertained for a long time. ;)

[timmyhawky]

search mario 64 and then u find the glitches

[bloodyzelda]

This guy's amazing... lol

[timmyhawky]

yup, he's amazing,
but he's too a amazing cheater

[knowitman]

I saw another website that explained how he did it. He used a tool which allowed him to play the game at an extremely slow framerate. If he messed up a move he could then rewind and try again. It saved his key presses for each frame. Then could be played back at full speed.

Super Mario 64 Beat in 16:27 (Using Recorded Moves)!

In other news, there is now an impressive "Tool Assisted Speedrun (TAS)" video for Super Mario 64. What's a TAS you ask? It is a recording of moves that can be played back in an emulator, and it is designed to beat the game as quickly as possible (sometimes using bugs, sometimes not). When recording the moves, the author can play the game in slow motion and rewind as many times as necessary to get the moves perfect. Ultimately, the goal is to see how fast the game could be beat if an absolutely perfect player were playing. So, don't let this video make you feel bad, because nobody can play this well, not even the author of the video. In this case, Super Mario 64 is beat in only 16 minutes and 27 seconds!
