What a masterclass of a video. Pannenkoek is on a different level.

 

[NinjaBoiX]

I love how much people keep uncovering about this game, it’s a marvel.

 

[Haemi]

I love his videos. All the technical stuff is fascinating.

 

[ZehDon]

Yeah, I know I should be working, but it's only 3 hours and forty five minutes.

 

[Haemi]

The changing out of bounds wall in the snow man level is evil

 

[Eimran]

Thanks pancake

 

[Majukun]

I thought that after we got the source code there would be nothing left to discover

 

[ReBurn]

I still don't get it

 

[Three]

Tick tock clock level is just a completely broken game. Surprising that passed any QA.

 

[Lillie]

3 and 3/4 hours???

 

[Kenpachii]

Yea way to long for me, watched some examples interesting stuff tho.

 

[Three]

3 and 3/4 hours???

That's longer than a full length movie. It's a really in depth video with good examples of people running into the walls but he could have been a little more concise in places.

 

[Bloobs]

Dude spoke more words in that video than I did in my entire life.

 

[Davevil]

who the fuck cares? and what's more, and an 3 hour long video?

 

[chlorate]

SM64 is arguably the greatest speedrunning game of all time. This helps explain the mechanics.

 

[rogr rogr]

1:28:34 I've had one of the biggest laughs of my life with that BebopBandit guy sequence explained

I hope he sees this amazing vídeo so he can finally be in peace.

As a Dutch this is pretty funny

What, you don't like pancakes?

 

[Diddy X]

Is this the same guy that explains the different universes and half jumps in other videos? Crazy stuff

 

[diffusionx]

Speedrunners and YouTube creators: "we will never stop playing this game"
Nintendo in 1995: "we don't know what we are doing lmao"

 

[rogr rogr]

Is there a fix for all this yet?

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

that was interesting, kinda crazy the game just shipped like this, walls just "randomly" appearing is wild; the entire tick tock clock area is filled with invisible obstacles lol, and those invisible walls with the overhead hang to the star is just pure evil, I think I actually remember falling down there repeatedly.

 

[Griffon]

3 and 3/4 hours???

He explains the phenomenon at the start of the video, and then proceed to list EVERY SINGLE glitchy wall of the whole game in excruciating details. It's just padded content and uninteresting unless you're an active TAS runner looking for those walls.

Still, that's pretty crazy to see how utterly glitched the game is. It's a small miracle that this janky af collision detection code worked just barely enough to ship the game.

What, you don't like pancakes?

I love pancakes. But pannekoek is also a cuss word in the Netherlands. Its funny to see somebody getting praise and being called a pannekoek the same time.

 

[Shut0wen]

Need a 10 hour vid to explain spyros invisible walls

 

[Jinzo Prime]

I love pancakes. But pannekoek is also a cuss word in the Netherlands. Its funny to see somebody getting praise and being called a pannekoek the same time.

Google translate said it was "pancake", what does it actually mean?

Watch what you're doing, Pannekoek!! (Or Koekwaus in Gelderland)

 

[MonkeyClaw36]

It means pancake, you're right. But pancake is also slang for moron/ fool/ idiot.

Kinda like asshole. It is what it is, but also used as a cuss word. But more lighthearted.

 

[SportsFan581]

Wow. Not going to watch all that, but just from skimming that is a real Mario nerd right there.

Makes you think about all the intricacies that go into making these 3d games run. No wonder the credits lists are always so long.

 

[DonF]

bruh what is up with mario 64 and its programming?!!? Are we just simulations running on mario 64? All the parallel universe shenanigans... was the n64 a quantum computer?

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

I wanted some funny lore explanation, not reality. Yuck!

 

[Gaiff]

Tick tock clock level is just a completely broken game. Surprising that passed any QA.

My favorite level lol.

 

[Dacvak]

Amazing video. This is such a fascinating and in-depth look into how Mario 64’s geometry works. Absolutely worth every second of watching.
