I don't think we have to worry about that changing, unless someone has discovered some trick that lets you skip most of the game while still collecting 120 stars.

maybe Yoshi can be made to give 120 stars instead of 100 lives ;) how'd you find Yoshi? first get 100 lives and then he'd be there of course ;)

I heard about that quite some time ago and I think that was a beta version glitch which was removed before the release of M64. If you're refering to meeting Yoshi then yes its possible to get on top of the castle with 0 stars but yoshi doesn't appear till you collect 120 stars. Nintendo do make some really weird assumptions at times.

That made no sense at all.

There's no way to mainuplate Yoshi to give you 120 stars instead of 100 lives. O_o

There isnt really any teleportation in this game, you can however get very fast with a set of stairs, an upwards moving platform, or a sufficiently steep slope. You can also squeeze through some thin walls/ceilings. These techiniques are already used in the 16-star run.
This signature is much better than its previous version.

asteron said: There isnt really any teleportation in this game Thats pretty ambiguous to say that since mysterious teleportation generally happens when hyper or light speed is achived. Since the distance between one frame and the next is so great giving the impression of teleporting. Boomb omb Battlefield is perfect demonstatration of this.

Yeah I guess it is kind of a grey area...

Obviously, i'm going to finish this, but i don't work on it everyday. Reasons i don't work on it everyday are: - other priorities: real life must come first, especially on a run that easily takes months and months to be finished. - sometimes i got free time, but i'm not in the mood to work on it. I can say that i won't work on it again until august, because of job issues.

It's not like he's obligated to do this, we should be glad he's doing the run at all =)

Could someone please make an AVI out of the current progress? Since FODA will not be working on this until August...

And please, if you make the AVI, don't host it on Rapidshare. That website hates me and won't let me downloading anything.

I'll try to make an avi, update in a bit. edit: Alright, I can do it but the quality will be like this. If there's demand for it I'll do it.
What's a man like me supposed to do with all this extra savoir-faire?

http://dehacked.2y.net/BT/torrents/supermario64-tas_wipv115-star120-foda.avi.torrent H264 video with bframes, MP3 audio. If you crash out, it means you havn't updated your ffdshow in a long time and now would be a good time to do it. I'll upload it to some OTHER large file sending site when I get the chance. Which will probably be 8 or 9 hours from now.
