Uh... There was an article on every glitch of this game on GameFaqs, but it seems to be gone...
Fortunatly, I found it again!!

You can remove the Japanese text by clicking the button in the bottom right of the interface. Also, it's fairly redundant to rip off from one movie hosting site and uploading it at another one.

<dwangoAC> This is a TAS (...). Not suitable for all audiences. May cause undesirable side-effects. May contain emulator abuse. Emulator may be abusive. This product contains glitches known to the state of California to cause egg defects.
<Masterjun> I'm just a guy arranging bits in a sequence which could potentially amuse other people looking at these bits
<adelikat> In Oregon Trail, I sacrificed my own family to save time. In Star trek, I killed helpless comrades in escape pods to save time. Here, I kill my allies to save time. I think I need help.
There was an emulator bug in versions 0.9.4 and earlier of DeSmuME that would cause random teleportation like that. It's much harder to do on a real DS (or newer emulator versions) than it was in those old emulator versions, if not impossible. Now, I have seen videos of similar bugs happening in SM64DS on a real DS, so some instances of it may be legitimate, but the ones I've seen so far all involve making Mario dive/slide into collision and ending up very high in the air, which seems different from what happened in this video.

The "Create an invisible box." glitch detailed there has effects that look very much like uncontrolled memory corruption. If so, it might be exploitable for a large-skip warp by corrupting memory in exactly the right way. (Hard to tell, though, without details of what exactly is going on.)
8-Star WIP by MKDasher: http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/700999400/8starRun-000.dsm
need Advanced Bus Level Timing ON, emu 0.9.7
it’s a test run, but the best I’ve seen so far, if anyone has route ideas go ahead and let us know
he’s a friend of mine and I thought I’d coauthor it, for now my contribution is 6 frames faster to the castle’s door, I’ll complete the outside part and try to save more when I have time

Are you two going to submit the run when you're done?
that’s the plan
edit: I’ve been trying SM64’s route for BitFS, but it seems impossible :( jumping from the pillars to the pipe’s invisible walls is too much of a distance to be doable
Nice use of the HP glitch! Are you two going to submit the run when you're done? I think it's different enough from SM64 that it could get accepted.
Yeah, we plan to improve the part already done and after finishing it then we'll submit the run.
Main problems at the moment are desynching problems (when improving parts from the beginning) and the rabbit glitch for the 50 star door.

Lol@having an account for over two years and finally making your first post :)
Yeah, desynching is without doubt the most irritating thing to occur during a TAS, but I hope you battle through it and finish this TAS, which I look forward to seeing more of!
well, we were working on it and with about 270 frames saved over the old WIP MKDasher found a new speed conservation technique for LJs… so we basically have to redo everything!
just from beginning to touching the castle’s door, MKDasher saved 20 frames
the trick is simply what could be called “no input LJ”, speed goes down slower than if you press a direction
edit: works also for normal jumps xD
edit2: no input slows you down by 2048 each frame when you are above normal top speed, which is less than with input
double/triple jumps should be made as small as possible /// seems like a triple jump is faster right after a LJ instead of running then triple jumping (star 1)
and with 668 frames saved total, we decide we should try a new route, so everything from scratch again… I hope this new route is faster because it looks cool
we think keeping the new WIP secret would make for a bigger surprise effect when we submit it, so sorry but we won’t post more
in the meantime I’ve uploaded a star I made myself from the old route: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbSUKSlpunw
