Iwerlipse

ChouxZi3: pronunciation feels important so I'm moving it to the top

The '''Iwerlipse''' (pronounced ee-ver-lipse /ˈivɜlɪps/) is the range of positions Mario can occupy while he is in the air and cannot turn, assuming that drag is constant. The boundary of the Iwerlipse is reached by '''Arctan Straining''' - the optimal way of air straining that gives the greatest distance along a chosen angle <math>\omega</math> for a given number of frames <math>T</math>. For a single frame <math>T=1</math>, the Iwerlipse is an ellipse with half-width 10 (in the sideways direction) and half-height 1.5 (in the forwards direction). For general <math>T</math>, it resembles an ellipse with half-width <math>10T</math> and half-height <math>3T(T+1)/4</math>, but bulges at the corners, covering more area than an ellipse with the same dimensions. As shown by ''Grassdigger'', the shape is well approximated by a generalised superellipse, and thus ''Pannenkoek2012'' proposed calling this shape the Iwerlipse - a pun on the name of ''Iwer Sonsch'', who first discoverered that Arctan Straining was optimal in April 2018.

==Basics==

Arctan Straining gives the maximum possible distance along a target angle <math>\omega</math> that differs from the facing angle <math>\theta</math>, over a finite number of frames <math>T</math>. It is performed by choosing straining angles <math>\phi_t</math> (intendedYaw) such that

<div style="background:#f9f9f9; border-left:3px solid #bbb; padding:0.4em 0.8em; margin:1em 0;">
<math>
\begin{align}
\phi_t - \theta =
\begin{cases}
\arctan \left[\dfrac{10\tan(\omega - \theta)}{1.5(T+1-t)} \right] & \text{if } \cos(\omega-\theta) > 0, \\[14pt]
\arctan \left[\dfrac{10\tan(\omega - \theta)}{1.5(T+1-t)} \right] + 180^\circ & \text{if } \cos(\omega-\theta) < 0,
\end{cases}
\end{align}
</math>
</div>

with <math>t</math> being the frame number between <math>1</math> and <math>T</math>. (Usually only the top row of this equation is given, but since the <math>\arctan</math> function only gives results between <math>\pm 90^\circ</math>, we must add <math>180^\circ</math> to the result if the target angle is behind Mario.)

Arctan straining is a result of two asymmetries in how Mario's forward velocity and sideways speed are updated

* Forward velocity accelerates gradually over time, while sideways speed is reset every frame

* Straining on a single frame has a weak effect on forward velocity (increasing velocity by a maximum of 1.5), but a strong effect on sideways speed for a single frame (setting sideways speed to a maximum of 10).

In terms of total distance acquired along some direction, forward velocity is thus more effective over long periods of time, where it has time to accelerate to large values, whereas sideways speed is more effective over short periods of time. Optimal straining over many frames then involves straining mostly along the forwards direction to build up a large forward velocity, and then towards the end of the trajectory, transitioning into sideways straining to exploit the large sideways displacement obtainable in a single frame.

==Update Equations==

When Mario is in the air and cannot turn, the function <code>update_air_without_turn</code> is responsible for updating Mario's velocity variables from one frame, <math>t-1</math>, to the next, <math>t</math>. Without loss of generality, we can choose coordinates so that Mario's facing angle is zero. In other words, he is facing along the <math>z</math>-axis, while his sideways speed is directed along the <math>x</math>-axis. Mario's forward velocity, <math>v_t</math>, and position coordinates <math>z_t</math> and <math>x_t</math> are then updated via

<div style="background:#f9f9f9; border-left:3px solid #bbb; padding:0.4em 0.8em; margin:1em 0;">
<math>\begin{align}
v_t &= v_{t-1} - D(v_{t-1}, \phi_t) + 1.5\cos(\phi_t),\\
z_t &= z_{t-1} + v_t,\\ x_t &= x_{t-1} + 10\sin(\phi_t),
\end{align}</math>
</div>

where <math>\phi_t</math> is the straining angle (intendedYaw) on frame <math>t</math>. The total effect of drag is given by the coefficient <math>D</math>, determined by

<math>
D(v_{t-1}, \phi_t) =
\begin{cases}
-2.35 & \text{if } v_{t-1} < - 16.35 - 1.5 \cos(\phi_t),\\
-0.35 & \text{if } -16.35 - 1.5 \cos(\phi_t) \leq v_{t-1} \leq -0.35,\\
v_{t-1} & \text{if } -0.35 < v_{t-1} < 0.35,\\
0.35 & \text{if } 0.35 \leq v_{t-1} \leq D_\text{cap} + 0.35 - 1.5 \cos(\phi_t),\\
1.35 & \text{if } v_{t-1} > D_\text{cap} + 0.35 - 1.5 \cos(\phi_t).
\end{cases}
</math>

where <math>D_\text{cap}</math> is a soft velocity cap equal to 48 for long jumps and 32 otherwise.

In practice, these drag boundaries are far enough apart that the drag is often constant over large periods of time. In this case we can write Mario's position after <math>T</math> frames as

<math>\begin{align}
x_T &= x_0 + 10 \sum_{t=1}^{T} \sin(\phi_t),\\
z_T &= z_0 + v_0 T - D \sum_{t=1}^T t + 1.5 \sum_{t=1}^T \sum_{n=1}^t \cos(\phi_n).
\end{align}</math>

Using <math>\sum_{t=1}^T t = T(T+1)/2</math>, and by grouping terms of <math>\cos(\phi_t)</math>, the latter can be simplified to

<math> z_T = z_0 + v_0 T - \frac{DT(T+1)}{2} + 1.5 \sum_{t=1}^T (T+1-t)\cos(\phi_t). </math>

Notice that, since forward straining produces an acceleration that is not reset between frames, earlier frames have a stronger effect on the final <math>z</math> position than later frames. The effective strength is <math>1.5(T+1-t)</math>, i.e. 1.5 multiplied by the number of frames remaining (including the current frame), since the forward velocity gained on one frame produces a displacement also on all remaining frames.

==Arctan Straining Proof==

The displacement vector after <math>T</math> frames is

<math>\mathbf{R} = (x_T - x_0)\mathbf{\hat{x}} + (z_T - z_0)\mathbf{\hat{z}}</math>,

while the unit vector along the angle <math>\omega</math> is

<math>\mathbf{\hat{n}} = \sin(\omega)\mathbf{\hat{x}} + \cos(\omega)\mathbf{\hat{z}}</math>.

The distance we move along a target angle <math>\omega</math> over <math>T</math> frames is then

<math> S = \mathbf{R} \cdot \mathbf{\hat{n}} = \langle S\rangle + \sum_{t=1}^T S_t, </math>

where

<math> \langle S \rangle = \left(v_0 T - \frac{DT(T+1)}{2}\right)\cos(\omega), </math>

is due to our initial velocity and drag, while

<math> S_t = 10\sin(\phi_t)\sin(\omega) + 1.5(T+1-t)\cos(\phi_t)\cos(\omega), </math>

is the effective contribution from straining on frame <math>t</math>.
Thanks to this separation, we can maximize the total distance <math>S</math> by individually maximizing each contribution <math>S_t</math> as a function of <math>\phi_t</math>:

<math> \frac{d S_t}{d \phi_t} = 10\cos(\phi_t)\sin(\omega) - 1.5(T+1-t)\sin(\phi_t)\cos(\omega) = 0, </math>

and finally we find

<math> \tan(\phi_t) = \frac{10\tan(\omega)}{1.5(T+1-t)}, </math>

or, rotating the coordinate system back to allow for general facing angles <math>\theta</math>,

<math> \tan(\phi_t - \theta) = \frac{10\tan(\omega - \theta)}{1.5(T+1-t)}. </math>

Since <math>\tan(x) = \tan(x\pm180^\circ)</math>, this equation has two solutions for <math>\phi_t</math> which are given above.

== Iwerlipse Equations ==

By writing <math>\sin(\phi_t)</math> and <math>\cos(\phi_t)</math> in terms of <math>\tan(\phi_t)</math>, and using the optimal straining relation, we obtain exact expressions for the boundary of the Iwerlipse after <math>T</math> frames:

<div style="background:#f9f9f9; border-left:3px solid #bbb; padding:0.4em 0.8em; margin:1em 0;">
<math> \begin{aligned} x_T - x_0 &= \pm10 \sum_{t=1}^T \frac{1}{\sqrt{1+\beta^2 t^2}},\\ z_T - \langle z \rangle &= \pm1.5 \beta \sum_{t=1}^T \frac{t^2}{\sqrt{1+\beta^2 t^2}}, \end{aligned} </math>
</div>

where

<math>\beta = \frac{1.5}{10}\tan(\omega),</math>

and

<math>\langle z \rangle = z_0 + v_0 T - \frac{DT(T+1)}{2}</math>.

We can restrict <math>0 < \omega < 90^\circ</math>, with the four combinations of plus and minus signs giving the remaining quadrants.
The Iwerlipse's half-width is <math>x_\mathrm{max} = 10T</math>, while its half-height is <math>z_\mathrm{max} = 3T(T+1)/4</math>.

=== Approximations ===

If <math>T</math> is large, the exact expressions involve large summation terms, so it may be useful to have approximate expressions that are easier to compute.
By replacing the summations from <math>t=1</math> to <math>t=T</math> with an integral from <math>t=1/2</math> to <math>t=T+1/2</math> (essentially performing the midpoint rule of numerical integration in reverse), we obtain

<div style="background:#f9f9f9; border-left:3px solid #bbb; padding:0.4em 0.8em; margin:1em 0;">
<math> \begin{aligned} x_T - x_0 &= \pm \frac{10}{\beta} \left[\operatorname{arsinh}(\beta t)\right]^{T+1/2}_{1/2},\\ z_T - \langle z \rangle &= \pm \frac{3}{4\beta^2} \left[\beta t\sqrt{1+\beta^2 t^2} - \operatorname{arsinh}(\beta t)\right]^{T+1/2}_{1/2}, \end{aligned} </math>
</div>

with the notation <math>[F(t)]_{t_1}^{t_2} = F(t_2) - F(t_1)</math>.
This approximation converges to the true result very quickly:
even for <math>T=2</math>, the RMS error (normalized by <math>x_\mathrm{max}</math> and <math>z_\mathrm{max}</math>) is <math>4.3\times10^{-3}</math>,
while for <math>T>6</math> it is less than <math>10^{-3}</math>.
Similar expressions obtained using the Euler–Maclaurin formula converge more slowly, even with first-order correction terms.

A simpler but less accurate approximation is obtained by fitting the Iwerlipse to the generalized superellipse:

<div style="background:#f9f9f9; border-left:3px solid #bbb; padding:0.4em 0.8em; margin:1em 0;">
<math> \left(\frac{x_T - x_0}{x_\mathrm{max}}\right)^{m(T)} + \left(\frac{z_T - \langle z \rangle}{x_\mathrm{max}}\right)^{n(T)} = 1. </math>
</div>

The optimal exponents <math>m(T)</math> and <math>n(T)</math> have been found up to <math>T=150</math> (5 seconds), and can be obtained from a lookup table<ref>[https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xDmgHz878qiAS1ZF1Y5M0M1eiZUdZRSl/view?usp=sharing Showing Iwer's proof and deriving the Iwerlipse expressions.]</ref>.
Unlike the integral approximation, this expression never converges to the exact result — there is always some small error.

== Quarterstep Penalty ==

If <math>q \in {0,1,2,3}</math> quartersteps are lost on the final frame,
the forward velocity gained on frame <math>t</math> no longer accumulates forward distance over <math>T+1-t</math> frames,
but instead over <math>T - q/4 + 1 - t</math> frames.
The optimal straining relation becomes:

<div style="background:#f9f9f9; border-left:3px solid #bbb; padding:0.4em 0.8em; margin:1em 0;">
<math> \tan(\phi_{t'}) = \begin{cases} \dfrac{10\tan(\omega)}{1.5(T - q/4 + 1 - t)}, & \text{if } t < T,\\[10pt] \dfrac{10\tan(\omega)}{1.5}, & \text{if } t = T. \end{cases} </math>
</div>

The optimal straining angle for the final frame is not affected, since in this case the ellipse shrinks in both directions rather than just vertically, i.e. a factor <math>1-q/4</math> cancels in the numerator and denominator.

== History ==

<div style="font-size:120%; font-weight:bold; margin-top:1em;">2 July 2017</div>
Plush discovers that during a dive recover, one can gain greater distance along an angle different from Mario's facing angle by “flinging” the control stick through different angles during the trajectory, rather than holding it at a constant angle.

Pannenkoek qualitatively explains this phenomenon that would later be known as ''arctan straining'':

<blockquote style="font-style: italic;">
I think you're supposed to hold forward-ish for most of it, then sideways at the end. Because sideways movement doesn't depend on your speed. So 5 frames of sideways holding at the start of the DR is equivalent to the 5 frames at the end. But forward distance depends on your hspeed. So let's say you start with some hspeed. If you go sideways then forwards, then you'll lose that hspeed. But if you go forward then sideways, then you'll take advantage of your starting hspeed. The best inputs would probably mix sideways and forwards somewhat.
<br /> — <b>Pannenkoek2012</b>
</blockquote>

Peter Fedak shares the correct velocity update equations, and the three of them begin to consider what the mathematically optimal inputs are.

<div style="font-size:120%; font-weight:bold; margin-top:1em;">3 September 2017</div>
Iwer Sonsch independently rediscovers the velocity update equations and realises that by facing along the hypotenuse of the forward velocity and sideways speed — a trick known in other speedrunning communities as ''vectoring'' — he can gain greater distance in a single frame.
He wonders how this would look over multiple frames, restarting the discussion of optimal straining.
However, there is no quantitative progress until it becomes relevant to the A Button Challenge the following year.

<div style="font-size:120%; font-weight:bold; margin-top:1em;">18 March 2018</div>
The “Blast to the Stone Pillar” star in JRB is collected in 0 A presses for the first time, after Tyler Kehne figures out how to use conserved speed to get from the nearby pillar to the star platform.

The community turns their attention to whether the “Treasure of the Ocean Cave” star can be collected in a similar way, again reviving the optimal straining question, as people including Iwer, bad_boot, and DeRockProject begin attempting to make the most of the limited speed they have available.

<div style="font-size:120%; font-weight:bold; margin-top:1em;">16 April 2018</div>
Iwer states the optimal straining equation for the first time in the following form:

<math>\phi_{t'} - \theta = \operatorname{arccot}(0.15\,r\,t')</math>

This is equivalent to our expression above, since <math>\operatorname{arccot}(x) = \arctan(1/x)</math>,
with, <math>r = 1/\tan(\omega)</math>, and, <math>t' = T + 1 - t</math>.
(If using this expression, we need to add 180° if the target angle is to the right of Mario, since <math>\operatorname{arccot}</math> only gives results between 0° and 180°.)

<div style="font-size:120%; font-weight:bold; margin-top:1em;">23 June 2018</div>
Pannenkoek posts an idea for collecting the “Scale the Mountain” star in TTM via a dive recover.
To find out whether it was possible, Iwer, Grassdigger, Jane, bad_boot, and DeRockProject work to plot all of Mario’s possible positions while air straining.

<div style="font-size:120%; font-weight:bold; margin-top:1em;">20 August 2018</div>
Iwer discovers the exact equations describing Mario's possible positions after <math>T</math> frames. Grassdigger and DeRockProject then show that the total shape can be well approximated by a generalised superellipse.
Pannenkoek proposes calling it the ''Iwerlipse''.

<div style="font-size:120%; font-weight:bold; margin-top:1em;">3 October 2019</div>
Silverstrawb provides an alternative proof<ref>[https://drive.google.com/file/d/1df97glqVn-cXEUmP15vNxgQtwa8jJK2w/view?usp=sharing Showing Silverstrawb's proof.]</ref> of the optimal straining relation by converting the discrete update equations into the continuous differential equations

<math>\begin{align}
\dot{x} &= 10 \sin(\phi(t)),\\
\ddot{z} &= 1.5 \cos(\phi(t)) - D,
\end{align}</math>

and using the calculus of variations.

<div style="font-size:120%; font-weight:bold; margin-top:1em;">29 July 2020</div>

Movement steps

2024-05-25T13:24:47Z

ChouxZi3:

Typically, Mario's position is updated incrementally using his velocity. These increments are called '''steps''', and they behave differently when Mario is on the ground, in the air, in water, hanging, and climbing a pole. When on the ground or in the air, these steps typically occur four times per frame, and are commonly referred to as '''quarter steps''' or colloquially '''quarter frames'''.

Steps are also responsible for detecting collision with [[surfaces]], updating Mario's [[referenced surfaces]], and updating Mario's [[Water|water level]]. However, quarter steps don't detect object collisions or warps.
== Stationary Step ==
https://github.com/n64decomp/sm64/blob/66018e9f3caaa67399218971d61366cb3f7ba7d7/src/game/mario_step.c#L236
# Mario's x and z forward velocity and sliding velocity is set to 0
# mario_update_moving_sand
# mario_update_windy_ground
# If updated by moving sand or windy ground, return perform_ground_step
# Else, set Mario's y position to the floor, (possibly causing a [[downwarp]]), and update graphics. Return GROUND_STEP_NONE.
Also see [[Idle#stationary ground step]]
== Air Step ==
''Certain things here are more explained on their individual pages. If something lacks detail, check the link for more information.''

When an action performs a ''common'' air step, the first thing Mario does is update his horizontal velocity/sideways position via [[straining]]. This is only for the common air step and is not part of the quarter-frame checks.
=== Quarter-Frame Checks ===
After that is updated, the movement is split into "quarter-steps" that breakdown Mario's movement and determine what his outcome of each step is. The checks for the quarter-steps are as follows:
# The position a quarter of Mario's velocity ahead of Mario is checked for cancels/outcomes. Anything in bold is an exit out of the rest of the checks.
## If the position is above OOB but below Mario's current floor height, Mario's height is changed to the floor height and he '''lands'''.
## If the position is above OOB but not below Mario's current floor height, Mario's height is set to the new height and he '''hits a wall'''.
## If the action has the <span style="color:green;">"riding shell" flag</span> and the water level at the position is above the position's floor (up to 78 units above the position):
##* The floor height from here on is the water height.
##* The floor from this point on is a "fake" floor on the surface of the water.
##* The floor's origin offset is set to the water height.
## If the position's height is 78 units or less below a floor and there is not a ceiling 160 units or less above it (because of how variable types an [[overflow jump]] may occur here):
##* Mario's position horizontally is updated to the new position.
##* Mario's height is set to that of the floor's height.
##* Mario's floor and floor height are updated.
##* Mario '''lands'''.
## If the position's height is 78 units or less below a floor and there is a ceiling 160 units or less above it (because of how variable types an [[overflow jump]] may occur here):
##* Mario's height is set to that of the floor's height.
##* Mario '''lands'''. (Because Mario's floor is not updated, this is where a [[Pedro Spot|pedro spot]] may occur)
## If the position's height is 160 units under, at, or above a ceiling and his vertical velocity is positive or zero:
##* Mario's vertical velocity is set to zero.
##* If the ceiling above Mario is hangable and the air step has the <span style="color:green;">"check hang" flag</span>, Mario '''hangs'''. (Since this did not use the new position's ceiling/location, this is potentially a [[Hangable Ceiling Upwarp|hangable-ceiling upwarp.]])
##* Otherwise, '''nothing happens'''.
## If the position's height is 160 units under, at, or above a ceiling and his vertical velocity is negative:
##* If the position's height is at or below Mario's floor height, Mario's height is set to the floor height, and he '''lands'''.
##* Otherwise, Mario's height is set to the new height and he '''hits a wall'''.
## If there is a wall 30 units above the position but not 150 units above the position and the air step has the <span style="color:green;">"check ledge grab" flag</span>:
##* If Mario's velocity is positive, Mario is pushed by the wall opposite the velocity direction, and there is a floor 60 units behind the wall within 238 units upward, Mario '''ledge grabs'''. (Potentially a [[GLG]])
##* Otherwise Mario's position is set to the new position, his floor and floor height are updated, and '''nothing happens'''.
## Mario's position is set to the new position and his floor and floor height are updated.
## If Mario is colliding with a wall 150 or 30 units up and the upper or only wall is lava, he '''lava wall boosts'''.
## If Mario is colliding with a wall 150 or 30 units up and Mario is facing perpendicular to 0x6000 units away, he '''hits a wall'''.
## If no other exit has occurred, '''nothing happens'''.
# This repeats until Mario encounters something besides '''nothing happens''', up to four times including the initial time.
# Mario tracks his "exit", with '''nothing happens''' being tracked if the whole process completed four times.

=== Perform Air Step ===

# Set Mario's wall to null
# (this is a loop) Do 4 times:
## Let the next intended position be Mario's position plus velocity/4
## Perform an air quarter step, where "new position" means "next intended position" btw, as shown above
## If nothing happens, continue loop, else exit loop
# Let stepResult be the result of the last air quarter step performed
# If Mario's y velocity is positive, set peak height to Mario's y position (the peak height field is used for things like fall damage)
# Mario's step noise is updated based on his floor.
# If Mario is not flying, [[Gravity#Mario|gravity]] is applied.
#[[Vertical Wind|Vertical wind]] is now applied/accounted for.
# Mario's visual position is updated to Mario's position.
# Mario's yaw is updated to match the in-game angle.
# Return stepResult

=== Common Air Step Results ===
If doing a common air step, Mario now decides what to do based off the "exit" from Perform Air Step. Here is what he does for each exit:
* '''Nothing Happens''':
** Mario's animation is now applied.
* '''Lands''':
** If Mario is not over a hard [[surface]], the [[terrain]] is either snow or desert, Mario's peak height is more than 1000 units above him, the surface does not belong to an object, and the Y normal of the surface is not less than .8660254 (square root of 3 divided by 2):
*** Mario plays an OOF noise, dependent on which [[Version Differences|version of the game]].
*** Mario spawns particles.
*** Mario's action is set to the [[Feet Stuck in Ground|feet stuck in ground]] action and the '''lands''' checks stop.
** If Mario's action is not twirling, the floor is not lava, his negative velocity is less than -55, and the distance from the peak height to Mario is more than 3000 units:
*** Mario is hurt by 16 (24 without his hat).
*** The camera shakes.
*** Mario plays the "attacked" noise.
*** Mario is set to the [[Hard Backward Ground Knockback|hard backward ground knockback]] action and the '''lands''' checks stop.
** If Mario's action is not twirling, the floor is not lava, his negative velocity is less than -55, and the distance from the peak height to Mario is more than 1150 units:
*** Mario is hurt by 8 (12 without his hat).
*** Mario is squished for 30.
*** The camera shakes.
*** Mario plays the "attacked" noise.
** Mario is set to his action's landing action.
* '''Hits a Wall''':
** Mario's animation is now applied.
** If Mario's forward velocity is more than 16 and is in contact with a physical wall/surface:
*** Mario's yaw is "reflected" across the most recent wall Mario collided with, up to the first 4 walls. (This can be glitchy with more than 1 wall, i.e. [[Unreferenced Walls|unreferenced walls]]).
*** Mario plays a noise depending on whether or not he is wearing a metal cap.
** If Mario's forward velocity is more than 16 and he is not in contact with a physical wall/surface (i.e. OOB):
*** A different sound is played, but Mario's yaw is not reflected.
** If Mario is in contact with a wall, his action is set to the [[Air Hit Wall|air hit wall]] action.
** If Mario is not in contact with a wall (i.e. hitting OOB):
*** Any positive vertical speed is capped to 0.
*** If Mario's forward velocity is 38 or more, spawn particles and set his action to the [[Backward Air Knockback|backward air knockback]] action.
*** If Mario's forward velocity is more than 8 but less than 38, set Mario's forward speed to -8 and set his action to the [[Soft Bonk|soft bonk]] action.
** If Mario's forward velocity is 16 or less (initially, not after these other changes), set the forward velocity to 0.
* '''Ledge Grabs'''
** Mario's animation is set the idle ledge grab animation.
** Mario enters the [[Ledge Grab|ledge grab]] action while dropping any held objects and no longer riding a shell.
* '''Hangs'''
** Mario's action is set to the [[Start Hanging|start hanging]] action.
* '''Lava Wall Boosts'''
** Mario's yaw is set perpendicular to the wall.
** Mario's forward speed is capped to 24.
** If Mario is not wearing a metal cap, he is hurt 12 (or 18 without his hat).
** Mario plays the noise for being burned.
** The camera preset is set to the area's default preset.
** Mario enters the [[Lava Boost|lava boost]] action while dropping any held objects and no longer riding a shell.

=== Common Air Knockback Step ===
Similar to Common Air Step, it uses the "exit" from Perform Air Step. This function takes in a '''''landing action''''', a '''''hard fall action''''', and a '''''speed'''''.

Before calling Perform Air Step, it sets Mario's speed to '''''speed'''''.

Common Air Knockback Step can cancel into [[Feet Stuck In Ground]], '''''landing action''''', and '''''hard fall action'''''.

Mario cannot '''Hang''' or '''Ledge Grab'''. '''Nothing Happens''' and '''Lava Wall Boosts''' (contains cancel [[Lava Boost]]) are the same as for Perform Air Step.

* '''Lands'''
** If should get stuck in ground, drop and set action to [[Feet Stuck In Ground]]
** If y-velocity less than negative 55 and floor is not lava,
*** If fell more than 3000 units, shake camera, play MARIO_SOUND_ATTACKED, and drop and set mario action to the '''''hard fall action''''' with argument 4
*** Else if fell more than 1500 units and floor is not slippery
**** Hurt counter += 8 if cap, else 12
**** Squish counter += 30
** If neither of the first two checks canceled, set action to '''''landing action''''' (not changing the action argument, though there are differences in the Japanese version where the [[Thrown Forward]] and [[Thrown Backward]] intermediate actions cause the landing action argument to be hurtCounter)
* '''Hits a wall'''
** Change to the background air kb Animation
** If Mario's wall is not null
*** Mario's facingAngle[1] = wallAngle - (s32)(facingAngle[1] - wallAngle)
**** basically this step added two wallAngle
*** play either METAL_BONK or BONK sound
** else
*** play HIT sound
** facingAngle[1] += 0x8000
** Cap vel[1] to 0
** Set forward velocity to negative '''''speed''''' (and update slide and xz velocities to match)

Invisible wall

ChouxZi3: ChouxZi3 moved page Invisible Wall to Invisible wall: overflow jump

An invisible wall is any area that Mario cannot move through that has no visible collision. There are several types of invisible walls in Super Mario 64. Some invisible walls are intentional and are used to keep Mario from entering certain areas. However, most invisible walls are the result of glitches relating to surface misalignments.

=Intended Invisible Walls=
==Untextured Wall Surfaces==
The most basic type of invisible walls are merely surface triangles with no associated texture. These are used in a few areas, such as the hallway before [[Bowser in the Dark World]]. Aside from having no texture, they behave identically to normal walls.
==Out of Bounds on Course Edge==
Another type of intended invisible wall is the out-of-bounds area. On courses without a death barrier, such as [[Bob-omb Battlefield]], Mario is prevented from jumping off the side of the course by the out-of-bounds area. The out-of-bounds area is also present on the perimeter of courses with a death barrier, but is typically not as easily accessed due to the distance between the course and the edge.

=Unintended Invisible Walls=
==Exposed Ceiling Hitboxes==

==Floor Gap Due to Misaligned Edge Vertex==

==Floor Gap Due to Misaligned Vertices==

==Ceiling Juts out due to Misaligned Edge Vertex==

==Ceiling Juts out due to Misaligned Vertices==

'''Floor Cucking''', also known as '''Floor Overshadowing''' or '''Surface Overshadowing''', is a phenomenon that occurs when 2 floors or 2 ceilings (both need not be floors, despite the name) are prioritized unintuitively. Triangles are prioritized by the height of their first vertex. This means that, for example, 2 floors can overlap each other, with the first being on average much higher than the second; however, if the first vertex of the second floor is higher than the first vertex of the first floor, the game will decide that the second floor is higher. (In the case of the height of the first vertex being the same, the floor that comes first in the collision data will overshadow the floor that comes second, again regardless of average height.) This can cause significant in-game glitches. For example, if a ceiling is wedged between 2 floors, and the lower floor overshadows the higher one, the area above the ceiling triangle becomes a ceiling and Mario will not be able to enter it despite the floor above the ceiling. This is what occurs above the big house in Rainbow Ride<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a__Zw3xVrfs "SM64 Obscure RR Region Difference" by 1ted59]</ref>, where the vertices of floor triangles were re-ordered between versions making a higher vertex of a lower floor triangle be designated vertex #1.

The '''Boo Key''' is an unfinished and unused object left in the code of [[Super Mario 64]] and would presumably have been found in [[Big Boo's Haunt]] and/or in the [[The Castle|Castle's Courtyard]]

==Description==
The Boo Key has a model loaded in script_func_global_10, which is used for Big Boo's Haunt and the Castle Courtyard. The key itself would presumbaly be inside a Boo, just like a blue coin would and then drop to the ground whenever the Boo was killed. The key also would've have rotated when on the ground and have slight velocity when dropping

C^ hyperspeed

2023-08-15T17:34:25Z

ChouxZi3:

{{stub}}
'''C^ Hyperspeed''' is a [[Hyperspeed|hyperspeed glitch]] that allows Mario to build up unbounded speed by sliding down a slippery slope while trying to enter first person mode.

==Execution==
The trick happens when the player enters first person mode by pressing C^. Usually Mario's speed decreases and he comes to a stop, but if he is on a very slippery slope (type 0x13) he will accelerate. If he is facing uphill, he will get negative speed, and if he is facing downhill, he will get positive speed. If he is facing exactly 90° to the slope, he will still gain negative speed. The C^ action can be cancelled with a kick, a punch, becoming airborne, or hitting a wall. If it is not cancelled, Mario will slow down and enter first person mode once he exits the slope.

CCC Challenge

2023-08-03T04:56:41Z

ChouxZi3:

{{CCC Challenge infobox}}
The '''Coinless/Capless/Cannonless Challenge''', '''CCC''' for short, is a [[challenge]] in which the player must not use the cannon and caps and never collect a single coin, whether on a per-mission or a per-file basis. As many missions often seemingly force Mario to collect some of the coins along the way, there are many techniques required to work around them.

The last possible star, [[Mario Wings to the Sky]], was collected on March 28, 2017, by Pannenkoek2012, uploaded on his second channel<ref>[https://youtu.be/ucK9bqmgnJA "BoB Mario Wings to the Sky Coinless/Capless/Cannonless" by UncommentatedPannen]</ref>, and an improvement was found on April 2.
==Ruleset==
*No coins can be collected. Specifically, no yellow, red, or blue coins can be collected.
**The exploit of leaving a saveable record of 0 coins by collecting multiples of 256 is not allowed.
**Pause buffering to prevent the coin display from going up is not allowed, because the coin count still increases behind the scenes.
*No special caps can be used. Mario is allowed to wear his own normal cap.
**Special cap effects obtained at the start of the course are allowed, such as [[Tower of the Wing Cap]], [[Vanish Cap under the Moat]], and [[Cavern of the Metal Cap]].
*No cannons can be used. There are no workarounds for this.
==Number of stars that can be collected==
There are 77 stars that are considered possible in RTA (Real Time Attack), where TAS-only tricks are not included. In a single-star basis, one more star can be collected, namely, ''[[Snowman's Lost His Head]]''. This is because the mission is not selectable unless the 8 red-coin mission is completed beforehand.<ref>[https://youtu.be/b32kbK8Yfwo "Coinless, Capless, & Cannonless Challenges" by UncommentatedPannen]</ref>

Stars that require non-trivial workarounds include:
*[[BoB]] - ''[[Shoot to the Island in the Sky]]'': Going to the island can be done by long jumping from the top of the mountain.
*[[BoB]] - ''[[Behind Chain Chomp's Gate]]'': Performing a Bob-omb clip allows Mario to go behind the gate without releasing the Chain Chomp, where a red coin would be inadvertently collected.
*[[WF]] - ''[[Shoot into the Wild Blue]]:'' A sideflip and wall jump can easily collect the star from below.
*[[WF]] - ''[[Blast Away the Wall]]'': A precise ledge grab at the brick wall makes Mario clip into the wall slightly, allowing Mario to collect the star. This trick is known as "[[Blast Away the Wall#Cannonless|Cannonless]]" and is commonly used in RTA speedruns. However, it should be noted that the setup to make the trick easier cannot be used, since Mario would inadvertently collect the coins on the bridge.
*[[JRB]] - ''[[Blast to the Stone Pillar]]'': The platform where the star is can be reached by precisely long jumping off the ship.
*[[JRB]] and [[DDD]] - ''[[Through the Jet Stream]]'': Mario can overcome the jet stream(s) by swimming efficiently, negating the need for the metal cap.
*[[HMC]] - ''[[Metal-Head Mario Can Move!]]'': Mario can press the purple ! switch by falling onto it with enough vertical speed downwards instead of using the metal cap to walk underwater.
*[[SSL]] - ''[[Pyramid Puzzle]]'': Mario can collect the secrets without touching their coins by only touching the very top of the secret's hitbox.
*[[WDW]] - ''[[Quick Race Through Downtown!]]'': The RTA viable method is to clone the star while holding a Chuckya. In a TAS run, Mario can perform a BLJ to build enough speed to clip into the cage.
*[[DDD]] - ''[[Collect the Caps...]]'': Mario is able to simply clone the star through the loading zone by bringing a [[water shell]] out of the water. This cloning process is similar to the one used in Quick Race through Downtown. (Note: Unconfirmed RTA possible)
*[[CCM]] - ''[[Slip Slidin' Away]]'' and ''[[Big Penguin Race]]'': Mario can use the baby penguin to clip through the mountain to reach the cabin from the side, avoiding the coins near the entrance. An alternative, RTA viable method is to have Mario dive between a rock and floor to clip through the mountain.<ref>[https://clips.twitch.tv/PunchySwissLlamaSwiftRage "how to get into the house in ccm" by BroMario28 (Twitch Clip)]</ref>
In a TAS run, 4 more stars are possible to collect in a full run, leading to 81 stars possible (82 stars in a single-star basis). The stars that require TAS-only workarounds include:
*[[BoB]] - ''[[Mario Wings to the Sky]]'': [[Parallel Universe#Travel and movement|PU movement]] can be used to reach the first 4 secrets before the coins near them become tangible. Premature cloning can then be used to render one of the coins near the 5th secret inert so Mario can enter the secret's hitbox without entering the hitbox of a coin.
*[[BBH]] - ''[[Eye to Eye in the Secret Room]]'': Mario can clip into the secret room with Hyper Speed Wall Kicking until Mario reaches 400 speed, the minimum speed required to clip through a wall straight on.
*[[SL]] - ''[[Into the Igloo]]'': Mario can perform a Low Ceiling BLJ to build speed at the entrance and navigate into the wall of the room leading to the star compartment.
*[[RR]] - ''[[Somewhere Over the Rainbow]]'': Mario can perform a BLJ using the carpet once it takes him to the top of the house, launching him towards the floating island. A BLJ can also be done on the elevator to achieve PU speed so that PU movement can be used to reach the star. (This is what is used in the TAS WR.)

'''Eaten by Bubba''' is an action that happens when Mario is eaten by [[Bubba]]. Interacting with Bubba (i.e. being eaten by Bubba) is the only way to enter this action.

== Interactions ==
When interacting with Bubba, the following happens:
* Bubba's interaction state becomes <code>INT_STATUS_INTERACTED</code>
* Mario's <code>interactObj</code> property becomes Bubba
* Mario's action is set to ''Eaten by Bubba''

== Standard cutscene action cancel ==
Like all Cutscene actions<ref>https://github.com/n64decomp/sm64/blob/66018e9f3caaa67399218971d61366cb3f7ba7d7/src/game/mario_actions_cutscene.c#L2689</ref>,
if Mario's floor type is <code>SURFACE_INSTANT_QUICKSAND</code> and <span style="color:green;">Mario's action has the <code>INVULNERABLE</code> flag</span> and <span style="color:green;">Mario's action is not [[Quicksand Death]]</span>, the action is cancelled to [[Quicksand Death]].

Needless to say this cannot happen in vanilla SM64 because Bubba is not in a level with quicksand.

== Behavior ==
The <code>act_eaten_by_bubba</code> function does the following: <ref>https://github.com/n64decomp/sm64/blob/66018e9f3caaa67399218971d61366cb3f7ba7d7/src/game/mario_actions_cutscene.c#L751</ref>
* If Mario does not have the <code>MARIO_ACTION_SOUND_PLAYED</code> flag, then add the flag to Mario and play <code>SOUND_MARIO_DYING</code>
* Mario's animation becomes <code>MARIO_ANIM_A_POSE</code>
* Remove the <code>GRAPH_RENDER_ACTIVE</code> flag (from <code>m->marioObj->header.gfx.node.flags</code>)
* Set Mario's [[health]] to <code>0xFF</code> (makes Mario die)
* If the <code>actionTimer</code> is 60, <code>level_trigger_warp(m, WARP_OP_DEATH)</code> (basically black screen and bowser laugh and warp)
The function returns <code>false</code> in all cases, exiting the action loop. Basically it cannot be cancelled into any other action, except for the quicksand death mentioned earlier. Note that Mario can't escape from this action by interacting with an object either, since this action has the "intangible" flag. (See https://ukikipedia.net/wiki/Action#Frame step 8)

'''Stomp on the Thwomp''', or '''SotT''' for short, is the fourth mission of [[Tick Tock Clock]]. The star requires navigation through the entirety of the mainly vertical clock to reach the Thwomp at the top. Due to the length of the star and the distance it covers, it is usually combined with the 100 coin star in speedrunner's routes.

This star is particularly difficult in certain challenges, such as the [[A Button Challenge]] and [[ABZ Button Challenge]]. The massive vertical climb takes many seemingly unavoidable presses to scale, and often involves maximizing the value out of every press used.
==TAS WR History==
In terms of TAS records for SotT, most optimization has gone into SotT + 100 coin star (all four 120 TASes combine the two stars). Some TASers still took the time to claim the IL record, however, and it has resulted in a fairly decent point for a non-full game star. Sadly, both the current WR and previous WR have been lost due to copyright claims on nicovideos by Nintendo and the user deleting their account on YouTube.
{{TAS_History}}
==TAS Strategy==
''This is mainly describing Nahoc's 18.87 TAS since the two improvements since have been lost.''

The current route begins by heading the normal direction most players would, but triple jumps into the corner below and to the right of [[Roll into the Cage]]. This is followed by two normal wall kicks, and then a [[Glitchy Wall Kick|glitchy wall kick]] to keep the same direction to dive towards the [[Get a Hand|Get a Hand star]] cubby. After landing in the cubby, a long jump into a wall kick is done immediately to reach the [[cog]] for another wall kick. Worth noting, this cog position is where it is due to the random setting cog of the clock, which therefore requires [[RNG]]. This forces precise work to have it in the needed range.

Wall kicking off the cog, there is a precise wall kick off the cage around the Roll into the Cage star to get on top. Upon landing, another long jump into a wall kick is executed, which leads into another glitchy wall kick. The glitchy wall kick provides a better angle to be able to jump off the [[pendulum]] (which is also where it is due to RNG). This jump off the pendulum is led into by a speed kick-double jump combo that allows the jump off the pendulum to be a triple jump. This triple leads into yet another wall kick that lands on the cage beneath [[Timed Jumps on Moving Bars]].

Upon landing, a sideflip into a wall kick allows Mario to land above the Timed Jumps on Moving Bars star. A creative long jump into the exclamation block here allows two wall kicks that give enough height to land on the walkway that leads to the higher hand. After following the path to the area below the Stomp on the Thwomp star, an unorthodox triple jump into a well placed wall kick allows Mario to land on the treadmill. This is enough height to sideflip onto the thwomp, and single jump into the star.

The improvements to this route supposedly came in the form of small improvements (which happens in the case of most time saves) and better RNG. RNG is logical as this route has mario interacting with two [[treadmill|treadmills]], a pendulum, the [[thwomp]], and a very specific wall kick of a cog.
==ABC WR History==
Stomp on the Thwomp has been known as a difficult star for the A button challenge for a long time, and for this reason it is often excluded from early lists. bobmario511 was the first known person to route and perform a TAS for the star, producing 4 over a period of one month. Having gotten the count to 15 presses, bobmario511 was fairly certain the route was maxed, and felt comfortable with the TAS.

Since this point, pannenkoek2012 and the rest of the ABC team have worked to improve this star, and have saved 13 A Presses. Stomp on the Thwomp in particular takes a lot of creative routing and problem solving, and combining these in a creative way to save A presses. In general, the routing usually focuses on efficient usage the two available bob-ombs, their two coins, the one-time pre-set HOLP, and the 100 coin star for a [[Star Dance Clip]] (SDC).
{{ABC_History}}
==Current ABC Route==
''Because of the nature of TTC and how it's nearly a completely different course depending on the clock setting, the route has continually changed different settings. The current route is on the '''random''' setting.''

Prior to even entering TTC, a [[HOLP]] is set in [[BitS]] that will later be utilized near the [[Pendulum Box|pendulum box]] [[Pedro Spot]].

Getting to the second level of the clock (by the first clock hand) cannot be done going through the main pathway without pressing A. This is avoided by using the [[spinner]]s, instead. So with this in mind, the current route goes up these spinners every time it needs to go up to the second level.

At the second level, getting onto the area with the [[cog]]s is a more difficult task and requires using a [[Star Dance Clip|star dance clip]] (SDC) via a [[100 Coin Star|100 coin star]] to get past. This is an issue here, though, as Mario only has access to 36 coins from the second level down. Luckily, this can be overcome using [[cloning]] and the line of coins along the higher pole. Not so luckily, this means having to navigate the spinners on the random setting while carrying a [[bob-omb]] 64 times. This is an incredibly time consuming and monotonous task, and takes roughly 20 minutes per coin.<ref>[https://youtu.be/ozLIz8j-y68 "TTC TASing a Coin Clone on Random Setting" by pannenkoek2012]</ref> For this reason, work is usually done to avoid redoing the cloning, typically by just setting a different HOLP and reusing the old first section of the TAS. Since this cloning will update the HOLP, a bob-omb is thrown first to the HOLP via [[Pause Buffered Hitstun]] for later usage.

Once all 64 coins have been cloned, another clone must be used to place a [[fire]] clone before the ledge leading to the cogs. A single SDC is not enough height to reach the ledge, but a fire burn into a SDC is. To avoid immediately burning on the fire clone, it is placed carefully using the hand to push Mario out of the way.<ref>[https://youtu.be/upzprhsB9D0 "TTC To Cogs 0x Using 1 Fire Clone" by pannenkoek2012]</ref> With the fire clone set, the ! block containing three coins above the second is broken, and one of the coins is cloned. This allows the 100 coin star to be placed in a spot that allows the SDC without needing a bob-omb to still have its coin. At this point, the set-up is complete and Mario can now burn and clip up to the area near the cogs.
[[File:Pendulum Box Pedro Spot.png|300px|thumb|right|The pendulum box pedro spot.]]
Now with access to the cogs, Mario can simply dive recover until he reaches the top. At this point, a special maneuver termed "[[Cog Misalignment|Cog Misa]]" is utilized. Mario conserve vertical speed onto the highest cog using one of the cog's [[misalignment]]s, allowing him to reach the walkway to [[Roll into the Cage]] (which normally is too high to reach without an A press). This misalignment was thought to be impossible, as setting the cog's (very slightly) longest edge face as close to mario as possible, while still facing away from the origin to keep its misalignment open, was not enough for Mario to avoid the protruding wall hitboxes in the way of reaching the misalignment. However, if the cog was turned even closer towards mario 1 frame before he reaches the misalignment, where maximum cog spinning speed can let the cog barely reach the point when the misalignment opens up, Mario can dive recover at a sharper angle, and use the misalignmentless wall hitbox to get pushed rightwards by the spinning cog, so on the next frame, when the cog's misalignment finally opens, Mario can enter the misalignment with his better facing angle and extreme leftwards straining. <ref name="misa">[https://youtu.be/7eK2yszTfyA "Cog Misalignment (A press save SOON!)" by DeRockProject & the Attack of the Really Long Channel Name]</ref> This maneuver allows Mario to get past the cogs without any presses, something that required a bob-omb and the HOLP prior to this maneuver.

Near Roll into the Cage, Mario now uses [[HSG|hyperspeed grinding]] to build up speed in the "Sidney Spot".<ref>[https://youtu.be/3I7y6zYEOGU "Interesting TTC Hyperspeed Spot" by Sidney600SM64]</ref> This essentially works by repeatably falling and landing, which can gain speed over time via air movement. Once Mario has enough speed, he can jump out of the spot, converting his horizontal speed to vertical speed, allowing him to land in the area near the [[The Pit and the Pendulums]] star. This is the first A press.

From here, Mario makes his way to the Pit and the Pendulums area where the back pendulum is [[Pendulum Manipulation|manipulated]] via [[RNG]]. This eventually increases the magnitude of the arm movement enough to allow Mario be able to ride up the arm to get close to a [[Pedro Spot|pedro spot]] that is located above the pendulum box in the corners.<ref>[https://youtu.be/E0GbkSrx9Ik "TTC Pedro Spot on Pendulum Box" by pannenkoek2012]</ref> Having ridden the arm into a relatively close position, Mario is pushed into the [[ceiling]] by the pendulum arm. The bob-omb that was thrown earlier drops onto Mario from above, knocking him onto the box. Finally, the pendulum arm pushes him into position in the pedro spot. From this spot, Mario manipulates the RNG to be in good condition for a later part of the TAS.

Mario now is able to build up large amounts of speed in this position (roughly 680), despite having to occasionally sacrifice speed to avoid the pendulum arm. Once he has enough speed, Mario jumps out of the spot by landing on the pendulum arm. Jumping converts the horizontal speed to vertical speed, giving Mario massive amounts of upwards mobility. (This is the second press). This speed is immediately conserved by landing on the floor directly about the spot. From here, Mario punches to the edge of the cage. At this point, all Mario needs to do is wait for the upper hand to get into position to land on. Once it is Mario falls off, using the upwards speed to navigate onto the upper clock hand and landing with C^ to [[C^ VSC|conserve his vertical speed]].

Once on the hand, the hand ticks counter clockwise to the right side of the treadmill. This is a fairly uncommon occurrence- the hand ticks clockwise three times as often as counter clockwise, and has ticks three times as large. This rare situation is why the RNG manipulation on the pendulum box was important. Once the hand is near the [[treadmill]], Mario punches off the hand and lands on the [[Thwomp]]. From here, grabbing the star only requires a dive recover.
== Obsoleted Still Setting Route ==
[[File:Still Cog Pedro Spot.png|300px|thumb|right|The pedro spot and angle used for the x5 still method.]]
Prior to even entering TTC, a [[HOLP]] is set in [[TTM]]. After entering the course, the first thing done is to instant release a bob-omb at the HOLP which will later be utilized in the cog area of the clock.

Gaining height on the still setting is harder than on the moving settings, primarily due to being unable to go up the spinner side and instead having to go up the rotating block main pathway. Getting past the first rotating cube requires a jump dive, this is the first A press. Clearing the next set of rotating blocks requires a well placed double jump into triple jump dive combo. The dive lands on the moving bar so Mario can dive recover onto the second level. These are the second and third A presses.

From here, Mario reactivates the bob-omb placed at the HOLP, which snaps to Mario since it is out of bounds. Now with the bob-omb present, jump dive transports both it and Mario to the pathway before the cogs. This is the fourth A press.

Finally at the cogs, Mario can use the bob-omb to push himself into the cog pedro spot with a precise location and angle. After building up enough speed, Mario jump dives straight to the top of the thwomp, from where he can dive recover into the star. The jump to the thwomp is the fifth A press.
== Potential ABC Improvements ==
=== Random Cog Pedro Spot ===
{{main|Random Cog Pedro Spot}}
There is a known pedro spot that is used in the still-setting world record in between the first two cogs while they are still. This pedro spot also exists on the moving clock settings, and has potential usage on the random setting. A route with the pedro spot on random would combine most of the positives of both current world records- it would be able to go up the spinners and SDC onto the cog area while also jumping up to the higher area with the thwomp. Depending on how ideal of an angle is used, it could either allow Stomp on the Thwomp to drop to either one or two A presses.<ref>[https://youtu.be/S0q3_toE3b4 "TTC Pedro Spot on Cogs during Random Setting" by pannenkoek2012]</ref>

Initially, pannenkoek did calculations for the viability of this strategy, and came up with astronomically small likelihoods of success. This was due to needing roughly 1200 consecutive frames with calls, all with a one in seven chance. The strat was essentially declared dead at this point, and ruled as infeasible.<ref>[https://youtu.be/X4k5NGUjTWs "TTC Pedro Spot on Cogs Update" by pannenkoek2012]</ref> About a year later, Iwer Sonsch brought up the point that through small angle oscillations, Mario can stay in the pedro spot with less RNG calls. These small angles gradually grow over time (since Mario's speed is growing as well) and allow largely and larger angle oscillations until the spot becomes stable. This managed to drop the total from around 1200 RNG calls to about 80 or so. The analysis also showed that there was more than just one route (completely still) to work with, which opened other opportunities to aim for to increase the likelihood of there being a configuration that works.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/SM64ABC/comments/6pnkwt/ttc_pedro_spot_on_random_setting_via_oscillations/ "TTC Pedro Spot on Random Setting via Oscillations (Blueprint)" by Iwer Sonsch]</ref> Additionally since the release of pannenkoek's video, pendulum manipulation was discovered. This technique opens an incredibly large number of possible TTC states, magnitudes greater than what earlier calculations used giving the strategy even greater potential odds.

'''Light Grabbing''' is a glitch that allows grabbable objects of the heavy weight class to be grabbed light, which allows Mario to jump and run while holding them. It applies to both [[Chuckya]] and [[King Bob-omb]], although not all method will be possible on all objects in vanilla. There exist three ways to grab an heavy object light: A water grab, a ledge grab and triggering a textbox while holding an heavy object.

==Water Grab==
When grabbing an object with a water grab, the game doesn't check for the weight of the object, the result is always a light grab. In theory, Mario is not supposed to be able to water grab Chuckya or King Bob-omb, but this can be accomplished in [[Wet-Dry World]] with precise timing

==Edge Grab==
It is possible to grab both Chuckya and King bob-omb using an edge grab. To achieve this, Chuckya must be close to an edge and Mario must be facing in a way that he will be airborne in the first 3 frames of a punch, but that his punch will be in the object's grabbable area. When Mario starts his punch, the game will check whether he is in the correct action to grab the object in front of him and set a flag accordingly. The only valid action for an heavy object is a punch, while diving and punching are both valid actions for light object.
If Mario then becomes airborne, he can dive on the first frame while the flag is still active, allowing Mario to pick up the heavy object from a dive. Since a dive cannot normally hold an heavy object, it defaults to putting Mario in the light object state. <ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZ12n5mdAJA "Light Chuckya via Edge Tutorial" by UncommentatedPannen]</ref>

==Light Grab via Text==
If Mario holds a heavy object and triggers a textbox, he will be put in the Standing with object action, effectively making the object light <ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2cHvY8bApU "Light Chuckya via Text" by UncommentatedPannen] </ref>. This is because the cutscene action sets Mario's animation, and will always put him in the light animation, no matter the weight of the object he holds.

Trapdoor to Bowser in the Dark World

2023-01-05T16:35:33Z

ChouxZi3:

The entrance to [[Bowser in the Dark World]] is deceiving. In a casual playthrough, the entrance appears to be a painting of Princess Peach, but upon approaching it, the painting changes to an image of Bowser--Mario is thwarted by a trapdoor in the carpet, leading to the stage. (There is no level geometry beyond the trapdoor and the Bowser painting itself has no entrance.)

===Reverse Spawning Displacement===

Because the trapdoor is directly over the warp to the stage, Mario can still be standing on it on the frame that he warps, which can lead to [[spawning displacement]] in Bowser in the Dark World if the trapdoor loaded into a sufficiently-high object slot. Mario is displaced horizontally 300 units in the Z direction, and will land on the expected starting platform, close to its right edge.
This 300-unit displacement is inherited from a revolving elevator platform's initialization. Reovlivng elevator platforms are initially spawned at their axle, and then given one frame of translational velocity to snap them to their intended positions before any revolution regins. Thus, Mario inherits a fixed translational displacement, not rotational displacement.

The first confirmed method of manipulating the trapdoor into a high object slot (slot 102) is to visit the basement, generate dust, and return to the lobby.

Chuckya Wrong Throw

2022-12-05T08:15:25Z

ChouxZi3: ãń

{{Stub}}{{Rewrite}}

'''Chuckya Wrong Throw''' is a glitch that exploits [[Chuckya]]'s own HOLP. In essence, Chuckya has a held object position, much like Mario's [[HOLP]]. This position always updates, but only when Chuckya is on camera.

By throwing Chuckya to a remote HOLP, moving the camera away, and getting grabbed by that same Chuckya, it's possible to effectively teleport to the HOLP.

Bully battery

2022-12-05T08:11:09Z

ChouxZi3:

[[File:BullyBattery.gif|frame|right|Demonstration of slow bully battery in LLL]]
'''Bully Battery''' is a glitch that uses speed from knocking an out of bounds [[Bully|bully]] repeatedly to allow Mario to gain hyperspeed.

If a [[Bully|bully]] is out of bounds, Mario runs into the [[Bully|bully]] repeatedly in order to very slowly cause the [[Bully|bully]] to gain speed with each hit. After, we can transfer the built speed back to Mario to move at hyperspeed. However, Mario needs to either use water or a [[Squish Cancel|squish cancel]] to escape the knockback state. Otherwise, the built up speed is immediately lost. The glitch is used to access to beat the star [[Elevator Tour in the Volcano]] in 0xA-presses and is currently being used as part of a theory for a method to beat [[Bowser in the Fire Sea]] in 0xA-presses on N64.

== Fast Bully Battery ==
When Mario gets hit by the bully, the bully speed is transferred to Mario after being multiplied by a conversion ratio of 3*73/53. This would put Mario in the knockback state and cap his speed, but with Squish Cancel, Mario can switch to the Squished state then switch into another state, bypassing the cap and keeping his speed.

If Mario now gives this speed back to the bully, it is multiplied by a conversion ratio of 53/73. Overall, this corresponds to the bully's speed being multiplied by 3. Thus, the Bully's speed increases exponentially, with a speed increase on the order of <math>3^n</math>.

== Slow Bully Battery ==
When the bully already has speed, Mario can give it even more speed by hitting the bully perpendicular to its velocity vector, giving the bully a new speed according to

<math>v_{Bully}=\sqrt{[v_{Bully}]^2 + [v_{Mario}]^2}</math>

Assuming Mario's speed is constant every hit, the bully's speed will equal <math>[v_{Mario}]\sqrt{n}</math> by the ''n''th hit. The speed is gained very slowly, making it potentially take upwards of months for useful speed to be obtained but it is much less restrictive than the other method.

''TODO: ADD EXAMPLES OF SITUATIONS IN WHICH THESE TRICKS COULD BE ADVANTAGEOUS''
== Speed-Generating Actions ==
=== C-up/C^ Sliding ===
On certain slope types, (// TODO: SPECIFY DIFFERENT SLOPE TYPES AND EFFECTS) either entering the C-up camera mode 1 frame before walking onto the slope, or, after landing on the slope within the correct angle range, walking for 1 frame on the slope will Mario to begin accelerating/decelerating. If you want to activate C-up sliding after landing *on* a slope, then you must be pressing the C-up button on the frame you land. Keep in mind that, no matter how you activate the C-up slide, it will only initiate 1 frame after you press the button. Also, if your speed isn't activated in some way after the C-up slide is over, you will have to activate it yourself. The exact method of doing so will depend on the situation, but most regular speed-preserving actions will suffice.
=== BLJ ===
{{main|BLJ}}
BLJ requires Mario to land from a longjump in less than about 8 frames. This can be achieved using a small ledge (such as stairs), a steep slope, an upwards-moving platform, or a ceiling.

A notable optimisation is the use of neutral joystick input during landing frames to avoid losing speed. It is not applicable to side BLJs though.

==== Slope BLJ ====
TODO: shallow water, unit squares maybe
==== Side BLJ ====
Side BLJ utilises a ledge that is between 7 and 30 units tall. Mario faces almost parallel to the ledge, the smallest possible angle upwards. He then lands on the lower floor next to the ledge, longjumps and strains onto the ledge, landing instantly, then moves back down because of his angle. This is repeated to perform a side BLJ.
==== Elevator BLJ ====
Elevator BLJ utilizes a platform moving upwards by [some] units per frame to cancel a long jump's vertical ascent.

They are one of the only few hyperspeed methods that can reach PU speeds, and the only method viable in speed TASing.

==== Ceiling BLJ ====
Ceiling BLJ utilises either a low ceiling or an exposed ceiling. A ceiling both holds Mario in place and cancels his vertical speed. Mario must hit the ceiling on the first quarter-step, so he never moves off the floor.

It is often possible to hit the ceiling for 2 frames during the initial longjump to cancel Mario's vertical and horizontal speed, allowing to start the BLJ much faster.

=== Hyperspeed Wallkicks ===

=== Optimal Dive Slide on Slope ===
TODO (someone figure out the optimal equation for this?)
=== Pedro Spot Speed Building ===
TODO
=== Hyperspeed Punching ===
TODO
=== Shell Hyperspeed ===
TODO
== Speed-Preserving Actions ==
=== Optimal Speedkick ===
For a speedkick, the joystick magnitude must be 48 or less. The optimal input is whatever has the greatest component in Mario's facing direction.

Input Direction Lua includes a speedkick function, but it only works properly in one version. The one currently in the repack does not do it correctly.

=== Buffered Kick ===
If you hold A either before the first frame that Mario is able to move, or, if landing from the air, before the landing action has started, then you can (while still holding A) press B to do a buffered kick. If starting from idle, this allows you to choose an arbitrary angle to kick with. Note: a jumpkick (where you press A and B on the same frame, or press B after A) does not allow you to choose an arbitrary angle from idle.

=== Speedpunch ===
When Mario is on the ground, pressing B will do a punch rather than a dive if the joystick magnitude is 48 or less. A must not be held, otherwise Mario will kick.

This is usually done on the first possible frame after landing, which preserves speed. It is not possible if landing from a longjump. It is also possible from braking, for example a C^ slide.

=== Pole Speed Redirection ===
Grabbing a pole preserves sliding speed. It can be reactivated by touching a floor, which puts Mario in the idle action, then pressing Z and a direction on the joystick.

If Mario grabs the pole from below the base, he will release it instantly. If this puts Mario on a floor, he will go into idle, allowing for a very fast speed redirection.
=== Text Speed Redirection ===
Text also preserves sliding speed.
=== Turnaround Speed Preservation ===

=== C-up/C^ Reflection ===
TODO
=== Water Sliding Speed Preservation ===
TODO Also mention water jump conservation (15 - 15.99 speed and 0-input landing only)
=== Hyperjump ===
The initial vertical speed of a single or double jump depends on Mario's horizontal speed before the jump. Specifically, it is <math>\frac{\text{hspd}}4 + 42</math> for a single jump and <math>\frac{\text{hspd}}4 + 52</math> for a double jump. The height of a jump scales with the square of that speed. This means that with high horizontal speed, Mario's jump will go very high.
=== Flight Reflection ===
TODO OOB, Walls, Ceilings

== Movement Starting Actions ==
=== Punch Cancel ===
Punch cancelling is a method to begin running with a higher speed. The first frame of running has ~8.9 speed, however the first frame of punching (from standstill) has 10 speed. You can then cancel it into running with the joystick or into a jump by pressing A. This is useful as it reduces the amount of frames of movement needed for other movement starting options such as a slidekick or long jump. Note when you do a punch cancel, it must be done with a neutral joystick and therefore you can not arbitrarily change your angle.
=== Quickturn ===
Once you enter the idle action of a quickstop, you then have a number of options for changing direction quickly. Buffered jumpkicks, walking at full magnitude with an arbitrary angle, punching off a ledge (usually to start dive grinding), or, in some rarer cases on very steep slopes, crouch sliding, can all be efficient ways to change direction after a quickstop.
=== Dive Grinding ===
TODO (need to mention XZ momentum)
=== Slidekick Start ===
Starting movement with a slidekick is the fastest way to accelerate under certain conditions. When you begin a slidekick, your speed is set to 32, which is much higher than a long jump or buffered jump kick. However other starting movements like longjumps and jumpdives will catch up later on because of their superior acceleration. Instead, if you find a way to cancel the slidekick rollout and immediately dive, there's a high chance it will be faster. Sometimes you do not need to do the rollout and the slidekick is the fastest movement over shorter distances. (e.g. LLL re-entry movement)
=== Punching Off Ledge ===
At low speeds and trying to run off of a ledge, Mario will sometimes climb down to hang on the ledge. This is bad if you want to start a movement by dive-grinding, [https://youtu.be/qRHC035iVI8?t=28 quickly start a wing cap flight] or just falling off the platform in general. The ledge climb down only happens if you are in the walking action, however, so it is possible to avoid climbing down to the ledge by punching.
TODO (mention both divegrinding application and fast flight application (like here: https://youtu.be/qRHC035iVI8?t=28)
=== Eru Drop ===
When walking at a minimal magnitude (8 units from neutral in any direction on TASInput), Mario tip-toes in place without moving much. However he is not constantly moving forward. On some frames, Mario actually moves backwards. Abusing this, we can walk off a ledge backwards to initiate an instant double jump (which can lead into a triple jump), fall onto a platform below whilst facing it or instantly dive recover. (There are probably more options out of an Eru drop as well.) To do this, Mario needs to be positioned less than a unit away from the ledge, walk facing away from the ledge and Mario should drop off of the ledge. It is advised to use STROOP's map tab to do this.

The fastest an Eru drop can be performed is in 3 frames from when Mario begins walking, however doing it in 3 frames gives less freedom as to what angles you can fall off the ledge with.

It is called the Eru drop as it was found by [https://youtu.be/Tl1qDika4Bk?t=7 Japanese TASer Eru]
== Optimization-Based Actions ==
=== Quickstop ===
When Mario is in a landing action on most surfaces, it will take 4 frames for him to come to a complete stop if you have no joystick input. After Mario has reached 0 speed, holding a very low magnitude on the joystick (12 or less, approximately) for 1 frame and then returning to neutral will allow him to enter the idle action very quickly. If you have any joystick input on the first 3 frames of a landing action, then you will maintain more speed (or lose more speed, if your speed is negative) throughout the action. You can still do a quickstop if you hold return to neutral on the 4th frame. Additionally, holding a low joystick magnitude for 2 frames after Mario has 0 speed will also allow him to enter an idle action as long as you return to neutral on the next frame. If you are entering a warp, then you can save time by returning to neutral and pressing Z after holding a low joystick magnitude for 1 frame. This will allow you to stop 1 frame sooner than you would if you did a regular quickstop. Note: on some slopes, it's possible to do a "1 frame quickstop," in which you only have to hold a low joystick magnitude for 1 frame before you can enter idle. As a general rule, if you're landing on any kind of slope, it's worth seeing if a 1 frame quickstop is possible.
=== C-up/C^ Jump & Jumpdive ===
TODO
=== C-up/C^ Backflip ===
While in the idle action, if you enter the C-up camera mode and press Z, you can choose an arbitrary joystick angle that Mario will crouch with. You can then press A to perform a backflip. This kind of quick backflip is useful in some situations, like grabbing a closeby star above a platform you just ledgegrabbed onto. The reason you must press C-up is to stop mario from going into crawling, which he cannot backflip out of.

(His death animation also makes him face the painting, allowing for a punch cancel trick to be used for re-entry)

=== Frame Bonk GWK Chain ===
(Make reference to the regular bonk gwk) By approaching a wall that has a wall lip next to it and the angle between them is less than 90 degrees, a bonk glitchy wall kick chain is possible. To do this, hug the wall of the well next to the wall lip, and then hold neutral. Take note of Mario's angle, as this angle will be used to perform the GWK chain. Approach the wall and its lip with this angle and do a regular bonk gwk. When you wallkick, you want to strain so that mario hits the wall in the same area as before. This way he can bonk and move back into the wall lip and do another bonk gwk. Repeat. (Note: Some wall lips are too big to do a bonk gwk every other frame. See the AMA TAS)
