A Button Challenge

Techie3: /* A Presses Left */

{{A Button Challenge infobox}}
The '''A Button Challenge''', '''ABC''' for short, is a [[challenge]] in which the number of presses of the [[A button]] is minimized, whether on a per-mission or a per-file basis. Because the A button makes Mario jump, great creativity and precision are required to progress in the game without using this "vital" function. The ABC is often connected to the discoveries of new glitches and techniques that can be used more generally throughout the game. Much of the material on the [https://www.youtube.com/user/pannenkoek2012 pannenkoek2012] and [https://www.youtube.com/user/pannenkeok2012 UncommentatedPannen] channels is related to the A Button Challenge, with only 13 remaining A presses (10 unique A presses) left to optimize.<ref>[https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1yssoTbplI_42LgjTbERd6UuSt0gaI0iOtp-5muS5hKw "SM64 120 Star ABC Route" spreadsheet]</ref>
==History==
{{main|History of the A Button Challenge}}
Although much of the progress in the ABC has been made since 2013, the ABC existed for over a decade earlier. Pieces of what would become the ABC were present in different terms, as early as 2001 on Walton Dell's site on multiple level pages.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20020614010118/http://www.wdell.com/videogames/sm64/course01/ An archive of A Button Challenge on Walton Dell's site]</ref> Curtis Bright, who runs sm64.com, was keeping track of ABC at least as early as December of 2006.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20061209073313/http://www.student.cs.uwaterloo.ca/~cbright/sm64/a-presses.html An archive of A Button Challenge on sm64.com]</ref> Thiago Trujillo had what is the earliest, nearly complete count for the game (that we have access to) with a total count of about 263 presses.<ref>[http://www.oocities.org/thiagotrujillo/abut.html A Button Challenge on oocities.org]</ref> (This list is missing all navigation presses, two of the [[DDD]] stars, three of the [[TTC]] stars, one star in [[RR]], and [[BitS]].)

Pannenkoek's first ABC video was for 5 Itty Bitty Secrets, and was released in August 2013.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xy7XDStV5WE "SM64 - Five Itty Bitty Secrets - 0x A Presses (OUTDATED)" by pannenkoek2012]</ref> The count at this point was about 212 presses, although this number dropped fairly quickly. Within the first 4 months, the count had fallen nearly 100 presses, and was down to 118. Over the next five years, many different people have worked on removing as many A presses as possible, and the number has dropped to only 13 A presses in a 120 star run, as well as 0 in any% on WiiVC.
==A Presses Left==
A '''unique A press''' refers to a single circumstance under which the A button must be pressed during a run. This circumstance may occur multiple times, leading to multiple A presses; if a workaround is found for the unique A press, all of those individual A presses may be saved.

For example, if entering a course requires an A press, the case of entering the course is a unique A press, even if said course must be visited multiple times over the course of a run.

Below is a table of unique A presses in the A Button Challenge.

Also, some levels require the A button to be held at the beginning the level, but not started on that specific star necessarily. These presses can be held from earlier presses to lower counts in longer runs, but still count as a full press on single-star runs. Such A presses are referred to as "half A presses," and result in A press counts such as 2.5<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpk2tdsPh0A Watch for Rolling Rocks - 0.5x A Presses]</ref>. Note that only one half A press can be required per star.

Mario's Platform Adventure

2023-10-03T01:10:25Z

Techie3: /* Application */

{{stub}}
'''Mario's Platform Adventure''' or '''MPA'''<ref name=script>[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fI_t8n7rVXicGRyDRuOxHqALLNBU7t6MRfdNoDLnP4A WFRR 0x Commentated Google Docs]</ref> is a trick where the [[Controllable Platform|controllable platform]] in [[Hazy Maze Cave]] can be clipped out of bounds, allowing the transport of enemies.

==Explication==
When the controllable platform hits a wall, it will stop and then starts moving in the other direction. However, it will still clip into the wall for a single frame.
The controllable platform also has a anti spam timer to prevent us from constantly reactivating it, but it can be bypass by alternating between two buttons. Since pressing another button instantly resets the controllable platform, it is possible to keep alternating between them in a corner to clip the platform out of bounds.

==Application==
HMC is an example of a level that uses rooms. Each room is an area, typically separated from other areas by doors. Each enemy “belongs” to the room it’s in. Mario also has a current room, determined by the last solid floor he was above. If Mario is not in a given enemy’s room, it is frozen in place and made invisible.
The red platform acts as if it belongs to Mario’s current room. Furthermore, Mario’s current room doesn’t change until he moves over solid ground again. This means that we can use it to transport enemies through out-of-bounds to anywhere in the level, so long as:
*We can get the platform out of bounds.
*We can get Mario out of bounds, on the platform.
*We can get enemies out of bounds onto our platform. <ref name=script/>

This is used in [[Watch for Rolling Rocks]] to complete the star in 0 A presses.

This trick was also used to solve an unsolved challenge: Crashing the game by going Out of Bounds in the metal cap entry room in HMC.<ref>[https://youtu.be/VO0HLVIzzek <nowiki>"CotMC Painting Room Null Floor Crash" by supermarble94</nowiki>]</ref>

}}
'''Tall, Tall Mountain''' is the 12th course of ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. It can be accessed by going [[upstairs]] and going to the small painting of mushrooms. Since it is found upstairs, the bare minimum requirement to reach it is the key from [[Bowser in the Fire Sea]], so 31 [[Power Star|Stars]] are normally required to get to it (without the use of game-breaking glitches).
==Course Versions==
*Version 1: When Star 1 is selected, the Scale the Mountain star will be present
*Version 2: When Star 2 is selected, Ukiki will be at the top of the mountain and there will be a cage with a star.
*Version 3: When Star 3-6 is selected, neither the Scale the Mountain star nor the cage will be present.
==Collecting Coins==
There are a total of 137 coins in the course. When you clone coins using a bob-omb, each clone takes up a [[Object slot|slot]] in memory that cannot be removed. However, if you go into the slide, and then exit out of the slide, the clones are gone, allowing the player to collect 999 coins.
{{TTM Coins}}
==Glitches==
===Mountain Clip Glitch===
By holding up at the beginning of the level, and [[Long Jump]]ing past the water, you'll get onto a steep slope on the mountain. Immediately hold up-right on the analog stick and press B. You'll clip through the slope into an area with some water. (To see this, press C-Left twice.) Swim forwards and swim towards the corner of the water. Swim off of it, and you'll teleport upwards to a higher part of the mountain. Speedrunners use this to skip past a long part of the mountain.
==A Press Counts==
In the A Button Challenge, it takes no A Presses to collect all seven stars.
===Entering Tall, Tall Mountain (0x)===
Similar to [[The Princess's Secret Slide]], the painting can be entered with a precise dive recover.
===Scale the Mountain (0x)===
This star is collected by using a techinical manuever with a rollout on the mountainside.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6Wvz7XJIuw 0xA Scale the Mountain DR Strat (New Fastest Strat) by Tyler Kehne]</ref>
===Mystery of the Monkey Cage (0x)===
Mario can climb the mountain easily with [[Frame Walking]], and he just grabs [[Ukiki]] and collects the star.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34Uz4iHq1as|"SM64 - Mystery of the Monkey Cage - 0x A Presses" by pannenkoek2012]</ref>
===Scary 'Shrooms, Red Coins (0x)===
The star is mostly trivial due to frame walking.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTJCOwgR1hs|"SM64 - Scary 'Shrooms, Red Coins - 0x A Presses" by pannenkoek2012]</ref>
===Mysterious Mountainside (0x)===

===Breathtaking View from Bridge (0x)===
Mario frame walks up the mountain, activates the [[! Switch]] to make the [[cork box]] appear, then slide kicks into the star.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQstq6oiBO4|"SM64 - Breathtaking View from Bridge - 0x A Presses" by pannenkoek2012]</ref>
===Blast to the Lonely Mushroom (0x)===
Mario grabs the [[Crazy Box]] at the beginning of the level, bouncing directly to the star.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGUHvO3-Jnk|"SM64 - Blast to the Lonely Mushroom - 0x A Presses" by pannenkoek2012]</ref>
===100 Coins===
Mario collects coins from [[Chuckya]], [[Coin Line|coin lines]], [[Coin Ring|coin rings]], the Crazy Box, Goombas, and the slide.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uimnCPs0zWM|"SM64 - Tall, Tall Mountain 100 Coins - 0x A Presses" by pannenkoek2012]</ref> This is enough to get 100 coins.

'''Tiny Huge Island''' or '''THI''' is the 13th course of ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. There are two variants of the course, the "tiny" one and the "huge" one. In the level are many pipes which take you back and forth between the two. The level is themed around going from one world to another, and interacting with how the size changes affect the world.

There are 2 paintings leading to THI, on the second floor behind a door with a star on it. One is a smaller painting which takes you directly to the tiny version of the course, and the other is a much larger painting that takes you to the huge version of the course.
==Course Versions==
*Version 1: When a star that isn't Rematch with Koopa the Quick hasn't been selected, neither Koopa the Quick nor his flag will spawn.
*Version 2: When the star Rematch with Koopa the Quick is selected, Koopa the Quick and his flag will spawn.
==Coins==
There are a total of 192 coins. 34 are in the tiny version, and 158 are in the huge version; 36 out of the 158 are found inside Wiggler's cave. [[Impossible Coin|One coin is inaccessible.]]
{{THI Coins}}
== A Press Counts ==
In the A Button Challenge, it takes two A Presses to collect all seven stars.

In addition, Shindou-based versions of the game require an additional A press to complete Elevator Tour in the Volcano, as it is not possible to death cancel the bully in such versions.

Also, some levels require the A button to be held at the beginning the level, but not started on that specific star necessarily. These presses can be held from earlier presses to lower counts in longer runs, but still count as a full press on single-star runs. Such A presses are referred to as "half A presses," and result in A press counts such as 2.5<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpk2tdsPh0A Watch for Rolling Rocks - 0.5x A Presses]</ref>. Note that only one half A press can be required per star.

Below is a table of all levels that require half an A-Press.

'''Jolly Roger Bay''' is the third course of ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. It can be accessed from the painting in the rightmost room of the first floor of Princess Peach's castle. The door leading to it requires at least 3 Power Stars to be opened.
==Course Versions==
There are three versions of the course that can appear by selecting different stars. Keep in mind that if there are any blue stars (uncollected) present in the star selection menu, then the last version that can be selected is the first blue star and not the stars after it:
*'''Version 1''': Accessed by selecting Star 1. The ship is sunken under water, and the eel will be hiding in it. Additionally, there will be fog above the water in this version.
*'''Version 2''': Accessed by selecting Star 2. The ship is floating at the surface of the water, and the eel is relocated at a hole. Bob-omb Buddy is available to talk to, allowing the cannon to be unlocked. Star 2 and 6 are also now collectable.
*'''Version 3''': Accessed by selecting Star 3 through Star 6. This is version 2, with the exception that the eel will always be swimming around, without a star on its tail.
==Coins==
Jolly Roger Bay has one of the smallest coin counts in the game, which makes the 100 coin star in this stage extra difficult. Without advanced maneuvering, it is impossible to even get 100 coins without raising the ship, and missing a single blue coin can force a player to try again. This stage also lacks any coin duplication glitches, which leaves its total max at 104.
{{JRB Coins}}
==A Press Counts==
In the A Button Challenge, it takes half an A Presse to collect all seven stars. The half A press is used to get hyperspeed to get the star in ''Treasure of the Ocean Cave''. Metal Cap is required to collect ''Through the Jet Stream'' without A presses.

===Entering Jolly Roger Bay ''(0x)''===
:''Video: [https://youtu.be/mlHzqJn2SMs?t=46s "SM64 - Castle Movement - A Presses"] ''
Performing a dive recover allows entering the painting without pressing A.
===Plunder in the Sunken Ship ''(0x)''===
:''Video: [https://youtu.be/ahuobjK4p_4 "SM64 - Plunder in the Sunken Ship - 0x A Presses"] ''
Due to the requirement of not pressing A, the player can only swim by pressing B with the maximum speed of 7, and therefore navigating the water requires a lot of caution. Mario can optionally pick up the shiny shell to increase swimming speed and conserve it by precise B presses. With the aid of the surface above and a ring of coins close to the ship, luring the eel out is easy. Once Mario is inside the sunken ship, the most difficult part is collecting the star in the item block without pressing A since the star is 377 units above the floor<ref>[https://youtu.be/xE7hrQ8sHhU?t=3m3s "Star Heights" by UncommentatedPannen (PitSS)]</ref>. Frame-walking is required to walk up the nearby steep slopes. Then, Mario falls into the spot slightly below the item block, and ground pounds it to collect the star.
===Can the Eel Come Out to Play? ''(0x)''===
:''Video: [https://youtu.be/G_38T61EHXo "SM64 - Can the Eel Come Out to Play? - 0x A Presses"] ''
The star can be collected easily by swimming to the tail end of Unagi the eel, though it is slightly more difficult to do so because the swimming is much slower without pressing A.
===Treasure of the Ocean Cave ''(0.5x)''===
:''Video: [https://youtu.be/tAwienu67cU "SM64 - Treasure of the Ocean Cave (0.5x)"]''
After opening the chests, Mario gains hyperspeed on a semi-submerged sloped floor through rapidly kicking, and can build enough speed to reach the star with a kick on top of the rock nearest to it.
===Red Coins on the Ship Afloat ''(0x)''===
:''Video: [https://youtu.be/PchLf_D1vks "JRB Red Coins on the Ship Afloat 0x A Presses"] ''
The 5 red coins outside the ship are easy to collect. The biggest problem is the 3 red coins on the ship. When the ship oscillates on water, there is a very small window where the edges of the ship can be frame-walked on as they become steep floors, instead of walls and ceilings the pushes Mario out or prevents his movement, respectively. After walking onto the ship, Mario can then collect the remaining red coins and get the star.
===Blast to the Stone Pillar ''(0x)''===
:''Video: [https://youtu.be/9dkwHlDC1LY "JRB Blast to the Stone Pillar 0x A Presses"] ''
Mario needs to reach the stone pillar platform with the item block containing the star by going off a nearby pillar. To do so, Mario needs to build and conserve enough speed to go up the pillar and cross the gap. Two major breakthroughs lead to the method of reaching the star without using an A press. The first one is having enough speed to land on the platform from the top of the pillar without pressing A. The second one is building up speed using the pillar and conserving it using [[speed conservation]] tricks.

To generate such speed, Mario first frame-walk up the pillar and slide down into the water. Next, Mario generates the remaining speed by first restoring the speed it accumulated (via Z+C^, a speed conservation tactic), and then uses Hyper Speed Punching by standing on an ascending slope of a certain angle while punching. After punching, Mario immediately dives right back into the water to conserve the gained speed. Altogether, a maximum of 150 speed can be reached.

Finally, Mario restores the conserved speed and quickly ascends the pillar and dives to the platform at the top.
===Through the Jet Stream ''(0x)''===
:''Video: [https://youtu.be/0SIgn5lYgGg "SM64 - Through the Jet Stream - 0x A Presses"] ''
Mario needs to collect the Metal Cap to not getting pushed away by the stream. The Metal Cap is required to bypass the obstacle, as otherwise, Mario cannot swim fast enough through the stream without pressing A. To break open the Metal Cap without A presses, Mario needs to dive recover off a rock with speed and ground pound precisely. Then, Mario needs to stand at a subpixel-perfect position (x = 4979.16, z = 2481.86) to avoid getting pushed out sideways by the stream in order to collect the star in the center.
===JRB 100 Coins ''(0x)''===
:''Video: [https://youtu.be/Onae2YHOv9E "JRB 100 Coins 0x A Presses"] ''
With only 104 coins available in Jolly Roger Bay, getting 100 of them for the Power Star requires a lot of tricks.

The first trick is getting onto the ship with the aforementioned frame-walk method. This is required as there are 3 red coins on the ship, and collecting them is necessary to get the needed 100 coins.

The second trick is Goomba's extended chase, in order to have a Goomba getting closer to the blue-coin block. This is required so that Mario can gain enough height to bounce on the Goomba, and then ground-pound the blue-coin block to get all blue coins. In short, Pannenkoek exploits the fact that a Goomba's target angle is recalculated while chasing Mario by either making a Goomba walk into a ledge, colliding with another Goomba, walking onto a steep slope, or bumping into a wall, thereby extending the chase further than intended <ref>[https://youtu.be/1VdX1yGcMls Description in "SM64 - Jolly Roger Bay 100 Coins - 1x A Presses (OUTDATED)" by pannenkoek2012]</ref>. Using this method, Pannenkoek manipulates one Goomba by repeatedly making them bump into a steep slope of a rock and the wall, and then he manipulates the other Goomba to run into the same obstacles plus the previous Goomba, allowing Mario to use the Goomba to ground-pound on the blue-coin block.
==Other Challenges==
In a [[CCC Challenge]], excluding coin missions, all stars can be collected, with ''Blast to the Stone Pillar'' and ''Through the Jet Stream'' being somewhat difficult RTA.

There are no stars that can be collected in [[Buttonless Challenge|No Buttons Allowed]] challenge, as Mario must swim for every star.

The only star possible in the [[No Joystick Allowed Challenge]] is [[Treasure of the Ocean Cave]].

In the [[ABZ Button Challenge|ABZ Challenge]], the current course count stands at 15.5 presses.

'''Treasure of the Ocean Cave''' is the third star in Jolly Roger Bay. The star can be collected by swimming down to an underwater tunnel, which has a cave at the end. In the cave, the star can be activated by touching the chests in a specific order- top, left, right, bottom (when viewing the front of the chests).
== TAS History ==
{{TAS History}}
== TAS Strategy ==
The TAS starts by collecting the metal cap, returning next to the BLJ spot. The combination of stop+punch-trick+long jump allows Mario to reduce his speed so that he can strain back far enough, which is faster than a quickturn long-jump combo. Speed is gained via BLJing in the low ceiling spot under the rock, starting with -15.99 speed. This area used is quite precise with the BLJ being done at an angle which keeps Mario stuck for as long as possible (to get more speed). Mario breaks out of the ceiling when he reaches -826 speed. From there, the BLJ becomes a slope-BLJ, and so pause-buffering allows for more speed gain, up to a final speed of -1855.

After the BLJ, Mario turns around (clockwise) to move towards the water. By making Mario face into the wall slightly, he can still move but doesn't move quite as far. This is just enough to allow Mario to stay out of the water for an additional frame, while only losing a small amount of distance. Since entering the water divides Mario's speed by 4 (with the metal cap), this means he has 1 more frame at full speed. This ultimately saves 2 frames (the theoretical max is just under 3 frames here). Mario then enters the water, losing 3/4 of his speed, but he can now turn around in the water. He turns towards the area above the hole that leads to the chest star.

When Mario reaches the edge of the water, he enters the ceiling hitbox above the top of the hole, causing him to downwarp into the cave. He then exits the water and turns as sharply as possible anticlockwise to enter the cave. Inside the cave, Mario clips through a wall, cutting a corner and saving time. He then clips under the raised platform with the chests. He eventually reaches the wall behind the chests, pushing on it for 1 frame which kills his speed. To start moving back towards the chests, Mario kicks against the wall, giving him negative speed.

During the kick Mario passes the first chest, activating it. He then turns to face the second chest and jumps. During the dust-frames he (barely) reaches the chest, activating it. He then turns towards the third chest and jumps before dive/recovering. He will have to turn back the other way to face the correct angle to activate the chest later, so the angle chosen must balance allowing Mario to turn for as few frames as possible while still allowing him to actually reach the chest (without losing too much speed through straining). Davo saved a frame here by using a better angle than the previous run.

Mario then turns left to reach the required angle to activate the chest, using the chest's hitbox to hold him in place, before turning right again to head for the next chest. Once he reaches the required angle to activate the chest, he dives into it, activating it immediately. Davo saved a frame here by diving earlier than the previous run and hitting the chest earlier. After that, Mario collects the star. The optimal way to do this is to GP above it at the right time so you reach the bottom of its hitbox when it becomes collectible.
== ABC Strategy ==
Since at least 2007, Treasure of the Ocean Cave was thought to be only completable with a singular A press, used to grab the star.<ref>[http://www.oocities.org/thiagotrujillo/abut.html "Super Mario 64 records - A Button Challenge" by Thiago Trujillo]</ref> However, in February of 2023, Tyler Kehne brought back an idea he once discarded due to issues with the joystick magnitude not allowing the strategy to work. He had an idea to get it to properly build suffecient speed, which was shortly after confirmed to be true, meaning that the star was completable in 0.5x A presses.

There were a few dead-end strategies for this star before this:
* 0x Hyperspeed: Utilizing hyperspeed, it is theoretically possible to launch yourself onto the star, avoiding the need to jump. It was shown by pannenkoek2012 that 500 speed would be sufficient to reach the star.<ref>[https://youtu.be/nKeBVjHztag "JRB Speed Conservation to Chest Star" by pannenkoek2012]</ref> This speed requirement was subsequently lowered to 280 by Superdavo0001,<ref>[https://youtu.be/amg4kaW1jGg "JRB Chest Star 0x With 280 Speed (Theory)" by Superdavo0001]</ref> and then to 262.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJYOQSlNHDA "SM64: JRB Chests 0x with 262 Speed (Hacked)" by Nim]</ref> Although significantly more feasible than 500, these speeds are notably above the maximum speed currently achievable in the course, which is around 160. A new hyperspeed method/application would be needed to make this work, otherwise, the speed needed would need to be greatly reduced again.

* Water Shell Cloning: Typically to clone with a water shell an instant loading zone is required, such as in Dire, Dire Docks. It was shown by bad_boot that a loading zone would not be needed if there was a way to activate timestop while keeping control of Mario in the course with a water shell.<ref>[https://youtu.be/PkuDwnrs6Ls "Grabbing Water Shell Fake w/ Timestop (Hacked)" by bad_boot]</ref> Cloning would allow Mario to clone either goombas or the star directly. If a timestop glitch existed in JRB this would solve the star, however, there is currently no known way to do this.

* Spawning Displacement/Speed Conservation into the Demo: Using spawning displacement/speed conservation, it is possible to desync Mario during the demo sequences.<ref>[https://youtu.be/-0emgkIEobI "Collecting a Star during the Demo Idea" by pannekoek2012]</ref> One of these sequences exist in JRB, opening the possibility. However, no way to activate the star, even with an ideal placement, has been found. Even if it would be, it seems feasibly unlikely to be possible within the constraints of the ABC.

You must be strong. And

Thanks to [the] power of
[the] Stars, life is
returning to [the] castle.
Please, Mario, [you] have
to give Bowser [the] boot!

Here, let me tell [you] a
little something about [the]
castle. In [the] room with
[the] mirrors, look carefully
for anything that's not

it with a high jump into

Uukee-kee! I was only

I'll give [you] something
really good.
So, how about it?

good for Peach. She's

to help her! Did [you] know

Stars! As [you] find [the]m,

wrote [the] book on ”bad.“
Take my advice: When [you]
need to recover from
injuries, collect coins.
Yellow Coins refill one
piece of [the] Power Meter,
Red Coins refill two
pieces, and Blue Coins
refill five.

appear, pound on Blue

Mario!!!
It that really [you]???
It has been so long since
our last adventure!
They told me that I might
see [you] if I waited here,
but I'd just about given
up hope!
Is it true? Have [you]
really beaten Bowser? And
restored [the] Stars to [the]
castle?
And saved [the] Princess?
I knew [you] could do it!
Now I have a very special
message for [you].
”Thanks for playing Super
Mario 64! This is [the]
end of [the] game, but not
[the] end of [the] fun.
We want [you] to keep on
playing, so we have a
little something for [you].
We hope that [you] like it!
Enjoy!!!“

I've no time to squabble
over Stars. Here, have it.
I never meant to hide it
from [you]...
It's just that I'm in such
a rush. That's it, that's
all. Now, I must be off.
Owww! Let me go!

Noooo! You've really
beaten me this time,
Mario! I can't stand
losing to [you]!

My troops...worthless!
They've turned over all
[the] Power Stars! What?!
There are 120 in all???

Amazing! There were some
in [the] castle that I
missed??!!

Now I see peace
returning to [the] world...
Oooo! I really hate that!
I can't watch--
I'm outta here!
Just [you] wait until next
time. Until [the]n, keep
that Control Stick

You'll find [the] Power
Stars that Bowser stole
inside [the] painting

Watch out! If [you] wander
around here, [you]'re liable
to be plastered by a
water bomb!
Those enemy Bob-ombs love
to fight, and [the]y're
always finding ways to
attack.
This meadow has become
a battlefield ever since
[the] Big Bob-omb got his
paws on [the] Power Star.
Can [you] recover [the] Star
for us? Cross [the] bridge
and go left up [the] path
to find [the] Big Bob-omb.
Please come back to see
me after [you]'ve retrieved
[the] Power Star!

water bombs.
The Big Bob-omb at [the]
top of [the] mountain is

You can talk to us
whenever [you]'d like to!

Thank [you], Mario! The Big
Bob-omb is nothing but a

O[the]r enemies are holding
[the] o[the]r Power Stars. If
[you] recover more Stars,
[you] can open new doors
that lead to new worlds!
My Bob-omb Buddies are
waiting for [you]. Be sure
to talk to [the]m--[the]y'll
set up cannons for [you].

Hey, Mario! Is it true
that [you] beat [the] Big

You must be strong. And
pretty fast. So, how fast
are [you], anyway?
Fast enough to beat me...
Koopa [the] Quick? I don't
think so. Just try me.
How about a race to [the]

The only problem:
You can't swim in it.

Mario, it's Peach!
Please be careful! Bowser
is so wicked! He will try
to burn [you] with his
horrible flame breath.
Run around behind and
grab him by [the] tail with
[the] [B] Button. Once [you]
grab hold, swing him
around in great circles.
Rotate [the] Control Stick

Mario!! My castle is in
great peril. I know that
Bowser is [the] cause...and
I know that only [you] can
stop him!
The doors in [the] castle
that have been sealed by
Bowser can be opened only
with Star Power.

But [the]re are secret
paths in [the] castle,
paths that Bowser hasn't
found.

One of those paths is in
this room, and it holds
one of [the] castle's Secret
Stars!

Find that Secret Star,
Mario! It will help [you]
on [you]r quest. Please,
Mario, [you] have to
help us!
Retrieve all of [the]
Power Stars in [the] castle
and free us from this
awful prison!
Please!

Thanks to [the] power of
[the] Stars, life is
returning to [the] castle.
Please, Mario, [you] have
to give Bowser [the] boot!

Here, let me tell [you] a
little something about [the]
castle. In [the] room with
[the] mirrors, look carefully
for anything that's not

Stars! As [you] find [the]m,

piece of [the] Power Meter,

pieces, and Blue Coins
refill five.

Thanks, Mario! The castle

Stars, and [you]'ve chased
Bowser right out of here,
on to some area ahead.
Oh, by [the] by, are [you]
collecting coins? Special

You've recovered one of
[the] stolen Power Stars!
Now [you] can open some of
[the] sealed doors in [the]
castle.
Try [the] Princess's room
on [the] second floor and
[the] room with [the]
painting of Whomp's
Fortress on Floor 1.
Bowser's troops are still
gaining power, so [you]
can't give up. Save us,
Mario! Keep searching for
Stars!
| After collecting a total of 1 star.
|-

You've recovered three
Power Stars! Now [you] can
open any door with a 3
on its star.

You can come and go from
[the] open courses as [you]
please. The enemies ahead
are even meaner, so be
careful!
|After collecting a total of 3 stars.
|-
|143||
You've recovered eight of
[the] Power Stars! Now [you]
can open [the] door with
[the] big Star! But Bowser
is just ahead...can [you]
hear [the] Princess calling?
|After collecting a total of 8 stars.
|-
|144||
You've recovered 30
Power Stars! Now [you] can
open [the] door with [the]
big Star! But before [you]
move on, how's it going
o[the]rwise?
Did [you] pound [the] two
columns down? You didn't
lose [you]r hat, did [you]?
If [you] did, [you]'ll have to
stomp on [the] condor to
get it back!
They say that Bowser has
sneaked out of [the] sea
and into [the] underground.
Have [you] finally
cornered him?

You've recovered 50
Power Stars! Now [you] can
open [the] Star Door on [the]
third floor. Bowser's
[the]re, [you] know.

Oh! You've found all of
[the] Cap Switches, haven't
[you]? Red, green and blue?
The Caps [you] get from [the]
colored blocks are really
helpful.
Hurry along, now. The
third floor is just ahead.
|After collecting a total of 50 stars.

You've found 70 Power
Stars! The mystery of [the]
endless stairs is solved,

on to [the] final bout!

Are [you] using [the] Cap
Blocks? You really should,
[you] know.

To make [the]m solid so [you]

Switches in [the] castle's
hidden courses.
You'll find [the] hidden
courses only after

Cap, blue for [the] Vanish
Cap.

Is it true? Have [you]
really beaten Bowser? And
restored [the] Stars to [the]
castle?
And saved [the] Princess?

Now I have a very special
message for [you].

Mario, it's Peach!
Please be careful! Bowser
is so wicked! He will try

like [you] won't throw me
out of here! Never! Ha!

Mario--just try to keep
calm!

great peril. I know that

I know that only [you] can
stop him!
The doors in [the] castle
that have been sealed by
Bowser can be opened only
with Star Power.

But [the]re are secret
paths in [the] castle,
paths that Bowser hasn't
found.

One of those paths is in
this room, and it holds
one of [the] castle's Secret
Stars!

Find that Secret Star,
Mario! It will help [you]
on [you]r quest. Please,
Mario, [you] have to
help us!
Retrieve all of [the]
Power Stars in [the] castle
and free us from this
awful prison!
Please!

little something about [the]
castle. In [the] room with
[the] mirrors, look carefully
for anything that's not
reflected in [the] mirror.

Am I glad to see [you]! The
Princess...and I...and,
well, everybody...we're all
trapped inside [the] castle
walls.

Bowser has stolen [the]
castle's Stars, and he's
using [the]ir power to
create his own world in
[the] paintings and walls.

Please recover [the] Power
Stars! As [you] find [the]m,
[you] can use [the]ir power
to open [the] doors that
Bowser has sealed.

There are four rooms on
[the] first floor. Start in
[the] one with [the] painting
of Bob-omb inside. It's
[the] only room that Bowser
hasn't sealed.
When [you] collect eight
Power Stars, [you]'ll be
able to open [the] door
with [the] big star. The
Princess must be inside!
|The toad in the castle foyer.
|-
|134||
The names of [the] Stars
are also hints for
finding [the]m. They are
displayed at [the] beginning
of each course.
You can collect [the] Stars
in any order. You won't
find some Stars, enemies
or items unless [you] select
a specific Star.
After [you] collect some
Stars, [you] can try
ano[the]r course.
We're all waiting for
[you]r help!

|-
|135||
It was Bowser who stole
[the] Stars. I saw him with
my own eyes!

He's hidden six Stars in
each course, but [you]
won't find all of [the]m in
some courses until [you]
press [the] Cap Switches.
The Stars [you]'ve found
will show on each course's
starting screen.

If [you] want to see some
of [the] enemies [you]'ve
already defeated, select
[the] Stars [you] recovered
from [the]m.
|The toad in the room with the painting to [[Whomp's Fortress]] (WF).
|-
|136||
Wow! You've already
recovered that many
Stars? Way to go, Mario!
I'll bet [you]'ll have us out
of here in no time!

Be careful, though.
Bowser and his band
wrote [the] book on ”bad.“
Take my advice: When [you]
need to recover from
injuries, collect coins.
Yellow Coins refill one
piece of [the] Power Meter,
Red Coins refill two
pieces, and Blue Coins
refill five.

To make Blue Coins
appear, pound on Blue
Coin Blocks.

Also, if [you] fall from
high places, [you]'ll
minimize damage if [you]
Pound [the] Ground as [you]
land.

100 Coin Star

2020-04-16T09:27:11Z

Techie3: /* Uses */

'''100 Coin Stars''' are [[Star|stars]] that appear after collecting 100 coins in all 15 [[List of Courses|main courses]]. They differ from all other stars in the main courses in that they appear directly above Mario instead of at fixed location. 100 Coin Stars appear in no other courses, even if the player manages to collect 100 coins. 100 Coin Stars are unique in that when Mario collects one, he is not ejected from the current course back to the castle. Instead, a [[Textbox|textbox]] appears, and Mario is allowed to continue exploring the course.

==Phenomena==
{{Merge|Coin Limit|type=section|reason=duplicated information|date=December 2018}}

====Coin Count vs. Coin Display====
The game uses two different variables to track Mario's coins: the ''coin count'' and the ''coin display''. The former is updated the instant Mario collects a coin, while the latter is used to display the coin count on-screen.

The coin count is set to 0 when the game starts and when entering a level. When exiting a level, the coin count is not reset, and examining the game's memory reveals that it continues to be updated when coins are collected. A 100 Coin Star appears when this variable equals 100, so long as Mario is in a main course.

The coin display will increment by 1 until it catches up with the coin count. In particular, the coin display only increments when it is less than the coin count and the [[Global Timer|global timer]] is odd. Using this method, the programmers intended the coin display to update once every two frames. However, by manipulating the global timer through [[Pause Buffering|pause buffering]], one can prevent the coin display from updating altogether<ref>https://youtu.be/T-YtojVHfKc</ref>.

====Coin Overflow====

Both the coin count and the coin display are stored as 16-bit signed shorts, so their values can range between -32768 and 32767 inclusive. In all versions of the game after the original Japanese N64 version, the coin count is capped at 999 on every frame. However, in the Japanese version, a bug is present in the game's code that sets the life counter to 999 when the coin counter exceeds 999:

// On every frame...
if (lives > 100)
lives = 100;
if (coins > 999)
lives = 999; //! this should use "coins" instead of "lives"

The effects of this bug are twofold: the coin count can exceed 999, and the lives count is erroneously set to 999.

Because the coin count can exceed 999, using [[Infinite Coin Glitches|infinite coin glitches]], it can reach 32767. Due to signed integer overflow, if one more coin is collected, the coin counter would become -32768. Collecting coins will continue to increase this value. Note that the coin display would remain 32767, for it only updates when it is less than the coin count. If one collects 32868 more coins, or 65636 coins in total, the coin counter will equal 100, spawning another 100 Coin Star. Although this star will appear yellow, collecting it will not increase the game's star count from 120 to 121 or more. This is because each star is represented in memory by 1 bit, and when a star is collected, the game uses the bitwise OR operator to store this information.

Since Mario's life count is stored as an 8-bit signed byte, when it is set to 999, the upper byte is discarded and the number that is stored is -25. Since the above code runs every frame, Mario's life count is constantly set to -25. This means collecting [[1-Up Mushroom||1-Ups]] will not change this value. Since Mario's coin count is not reset when he exits a level, losing a life will also not change the life count until another main course is entered. However, once Mario's coin count becomes negative, the life counter can be modified again.

==Uses==
Because 100 coin stars can spawn anywhere you can collect a coin, they are useful for various challenges.

===A Button Challenge===
When Mario is in freefall, if he is close enough to an edge, he will perform a ledge-grab. In doing so, his height will be updated to the height of the ledge above him, awarding him a small height bonus. Since Mario cannot ledge-grab after dive recovering, dive recovering near a ledge in the A Button Challenge forfeits this height bonus. In certain scenarios, one can use the [[Star Dance Clip]] (SDC) to gain this height bonus without pressing A. When Mario collects a star, his action is set to one that allows him to perform a ledge-grab, regardless of his previous action. If he is close enough to a ledge, he is placed on top of it before doing his star dance animation. Since 100 Coin Stars do not eject Mario from the course, players can use this height bonus to collect stars without pressing A. The Star Dance Clip can be used in combination with [[Vertical Speed Conservation]], which puts Mario into a free-fall state, by ground-pounding to gain height before collecting a 100 Coin Star.

In the A Button Challenge, the SDC is used:
* to collect [[To the Top of the Fortress]] 0x
* to get to the mainland on the tiny island of [[Tiny-Huge Island]] 0x, saving 5 A presses<ref>https://youtu.be/eCCVpEK2YbQ</ref>
* to get to the cogs 0x in [[Tick Tock Clock]]<ref>https://youtu.be/YBwenkLF_H4?t=256</ref>
* to go to [[Hazy Maze Cave]] 0x<ref>https://youtu.be/uDtInisrqqM</ref>
among other A press saves.

===No Joystick Challenge===

The 100 coin star is currently used to reset Mario's ascent of steep slopes, which is useful near the top of the pyramid in [[Shifting Sand Land]] to collect the stars [[Inside the Ancient Pyramid]] and [[Pyramid Puzzle]].<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1XgaxgpEHA</ref>
