If you have trouble pushing buttons quickly just lock your fingers into position and tense the muscles in your forearm tightly so that your arm naturally vibrates. You should be able to hit the button like 20 times a second.

I believe the world record for a human pressing a button many times a second is something of the 20 times / second.
My own record is 10 times a second and i considered myself blazing fast, untill i hear about the record.
So, i doubt he can do 20 times / second... And it's not needed, especially with the way you need to hold the controller holding Z and everything. I think around 8 is more than good enough.
Oh, I thought there was a 70 star and a re-take of the 16 star ones being done too!
ps - FODA, good job with what you have with the current WIP. Looking forward to seeing the rest!
I am just a silhouette, a silhouette of a memory of a solitary night .. nothing more.
I havent beaten the game in so long, or even got more than 80 stars recently, but i cant remember how to open the cannon outside of the castle. The last time ive fully beaten the games was like 3-6 years ago. Im not exactly "pro" so could someone please tell me?

The purpose of this thread is to discuss the mario 64 TAS.
It would take me just a few seconds to find the castle cannon of mario 64, try searching for "castle" + "cannon" + "mario 64".
I'm just starting to play mario 64 again. I last got over 100 stars like years ago.....i was 8 Now im starting again, i was just wonderinghow many stars it would take to open the cannon. I also saw a video of a way to get onto the roof without the cannon but im not sure if you can get to yoshi that way.
I think a place like gamefaqs forums is more appropriate for general Mario 64 discussion. This web site is a TAS forum and this thread is for discussing/planning FODA's TAS. By you posting (and me being forced to respond), you are decreasing the signal to noise ratio of the useful information in the thread.

It's Mario 64 thread, not FODA's Mario 64 run. And as far as I know, there's no specific rule that we must absolutely talk about anyone's run here.
It's Mario 64 thread. conker64's attitude wasn't offensive and he is respecting rules on this board.
I agree with /*-. If you don't want to answer him, plz don't post sarcasms.
Even if the topic was FODA's Mario 64 run, those manners aren't acceptable.
Rules on this board: http://tasvideos.org/ForumRules.html

I disagree on both counts. The forum rules state:
The Nesvideos forums offer a place for people to discuss movies they're developing. It is recommended for people to start a thread in the relevant forum about the game they're playing and post samples of their progress for others to comment on.
Ultimately this site and by extension this board is about TAS. The description of this board says it is for planning N64 runs. While I concede this specific topic isnt limited to FODA's Mario 64 run, it certainly about TASing Mario 64 and FODA's is the only run currently in developement AFAIK.
Also PMing wouldnt stop others from repeating the same information.

This is the Game Plan - Nintendo 64 - Mario 64 thread. I believe it refers to discussing the TASes. + what asteron said.
I'm gonna start a new thread after i'm done with the first bowser and i'm gonna name it better than this one. I agree that "Mario 64" is a bit vague and misleading.
