Discovered in 2025 by Crackhex and FramePerfection[1], this strategy allows Mario to bypass the 30 star door without collecting the required 30 stars. It involves using C^ hyperspeed to build enough speed to clip through the 30 star door.
Performing Crackslide can be broken down into three quite modular sections, where you can choose different options based on your preferences and it won't affect the later parts too much.
Setting Mario's z-position
In order to get enough speed during the C^ slide, we need to set Mario's z-position quite precisely. It should be between 1560 and 1563 (non-inclusive) to do the B-press exit strategy, and between 1560 and 1560.9 to do the B-pressless strategy. The B-pressless strategy requires a more precise z-position, but overall it is still easier and thus recommended for beginners.
During practice, we can use the Usamune Practice ROM to see Mario's z-position. Navigate to HUD -> MEMORY -> SLOT5 -> press A -> Change X to O.
Double ledge grab right pillar
TODO: Compatible with:
On entering the basement, press C-Left, C-Left, R to point the camera at the right pillar. Do a single jump and ledge grab the right side of the pillar. Get up from the ledge grab, single jump and gently tap left, so that Mario ledge grabs the left side of the pillar.
Double ledge grab left pillar
TODO: Compatible with:
From the door, jump and switch to Mario cam, press C-Right just before ledge grabbing the pillar, and aim to grab the pillar closer to its right edge. After a quick get-up, jump and gently press right so Mario ledge grabs the right side of the pillar. Let the camera snap behind Mario, then get up. The gentle right input ensures that Mario's z-position is close to 1 560 000, which guarantees that the B-pressless exit method will work.
Texture
We can also line up Mario's z-position with a texture on the pillar. Aim to have Mario's pant leg just barely touching the white line.
start c up setup
body
backflip

z press off ledgegrab then immediate backflip
rollout
haribo
oat sj ?
exit
b pressless
Note: The following method will only work if Mario's z-position is below 1 560 900.
Once Mario is in the C-Up slide animation, snap the camera behind Mario in Mario cam, then press C-Down+C-Left. Hold up-right and Mario will eventually launch to the pillar. Once Mario is stuck in this spot, switch to holding up and Mario will slide towards the 30 star door.
This is the most consistent method of exit, but it is slightly slower than exiting manually and there is no method of skipping the door text.
