I will try to fine tune the procedure so you guys can try. until then.....keep glitch hunting There is not a whole lot of camera tricks you can do there, because the camera parks in a fixed place in almost all areas, and you can't zoom out in Mario camera mode. The only glitch I did, but forgot how, is in the shed outside. While I was inside of it, I managed to raise the camera high enough that a 1-up appeared. It was the one on top of the shed. Is this the one you were referring to? Or does the trick involve the black barrier in the pits you fall through into the swimming pool. One camera error I know is that when you collect the 8th red coin in the room with the swiveling trap door, Lakitu just looks at the wall in the direction of the star as it sprouts, but you cannot see it. But keep working on it and bring it to us. --- Bullet Bill "Mario! The power of thirty-one stars is restored to the castle. ...THIRTY ONE? Okay, I'll make you a cupcake." |

| Can you get to the impossible coin in Tiny-Huge Island doing the "swiming inside the island" glitch? Here's the real reason you can't do this. The coin is in Tiny Island. The "swimming inside the island" glitch is done in Huge Island Maybe DSkillz's trick (posted elsewhere) with the backward speed jump into the small beach cave can get you there. But that particular trick is a crap shoot as far as anyone knows. --- Bullet Bill "Mario! The power of thirty-one stars is restored to the castle. ...THIRTY ONE? Okay, I'll make you a cupcake." |

| As it stands now, I don't think any wing cap blocks share a course with the metal or vanish ones. If it were so, we'd have by now had an invisible or metal mario flying. I remember in SMW how if you finish the game so that the map colors and enemy sprites change, some of the red koopas become blue. While there are probably no more than 120 stars, maybe there's a hidden secret that would change the color of certain cap blocks. Imagine if you could get the metal cap block near the underground lake to become a wing cap block. Think of this as a glorified bump. --- Bullet Bill "Mario!

I will try to fine tune the procedure so you guys can try. until then.....keep glithc hunting Here is a camera trick I found there. I was wondering if this is like the one you found. First switch to Camera<>Stop mode. Then stand with your back to the wall next to the front entrance. Zoom in, and then unzoom and hold R to stop the camera as far back inside the wall as you can get. The house will appear to be a big hollowed out area. Now have Mario do a lap around the outside of the house, and you will be able to see him during most of his lap. However, you will also see a blacked out area in the middle, because the sides of the pit above the swimming pool are a "persistant graphic". Also, with the camera in the same place, walk up close to the front door, but without opening it. The inside room will suddenly appear around Lakitu. Walk mario away, and the room disappears. A sneak peak at demand-based graphic loading. --- Bullet Bill "Mario! The power of thirty-one stars is restored to the castle. ...THIRTY ONE? Okay, I'll make you a cupcake." |

| Doing Bullet Bill's trick explained above, I discovered another camera trick. Stuck the camera inside the wall like explained in the above post, but now do it on the BACK door. Run around the house and stay very near to the front door, whitout entering it.

| Wow. That's amazing. I just did that. Now you get to see the lobby appear from the far side. This also works the other way around. Then you can see the room with the flying chairs appear. Notice that the two rooms adjoined by the walk-thru boo painting are loaded together. Do you suppose this could be what its a me mario had in mind? --- Bullet Bill "Mario!

| I sometimes read too fast, often forgetful, but I remember two glitches on the Internet that I still do. 1.Go to the spiral staircase (Remember? its straight forward once you come in the castle.) and stand by the grey pillar and the wall. Hold the direction where the corner is. Keep it pressed. Mario will seem to climb where the ceiling and the two walls are. The camera will almost get stuck, and if you go up the staircase a little more it will go back to normal. 2.I actually saw this on a Faq, but the end I found out. Head up the spiral staircase and go through the door. Don't go forward. Go back through. Head to the Snowman's land picture room, and head to the right picture. You will hear Boo laugh. Do the same thing with the red F but look the other way. There is a door. Little things, who cares. |

| Bullit Bill: "I've at least one taken him through the door to the curved hallway. One person has claimed you can take him into the hallway to the second Bowser course. But the sliding doors don't behave right for this trick." To take MIPS to Bawser's corridor, take him to the door, stand as close to the door as you can and put him down. You should have put him through the door. Then you just go through the door and pick him up on the other side. "What underwater qualities in MIPS do you mean?" For example, you can pick him up while swimming and he floats down slowly when you drop him in the water. That's all. --- Ladies and gentlemen, Yoshi has left the building! |

| I wonder if this method can be used to get MIPS through the first door as well. It would be easier than "merging" with the door. The behavior of the rabbit in water is definitely a clue as to the "default" behavior of grabbable objects, since the programmers obviously never had in mind that we would be brinking MIPS into water. --- Bullet Bill "Mario!

| This topic reminds me of my old cigar club, which eventually became a metting of one. The other members must have quit smoking. Maybe it's time to let this topic die a natural death. All the glitch hunters have moved on to other life interests, except me. Instead of bumping, I'll actually post something that is on topic, as a bump is always off topic. It appears the only way to get up into the tunnel leading to Wet-Dry World downtown is to somehow swim up to it really fast right after you begin the water draining. Can anyone do this? The mesh on the pipe is not made of the same stuff as the mesh cage on the other corner. The vanish cap won't work. --- Bullet Bill "Mario!

| Im fairly sure that no-one has posted this one before (I skimmed through all 17 pages of posts). On Tiny Huge Island, enter the level as huge Mario, jump across the water to the platform to the left (with that bomb shaped thing that spews out flames). Stand approximately in the middle of the platform and do a reverse jump toward the wall, what should happen is that Mario will grab hold of an edge within the wall then immediately pull himself up. So now you'll be to the right of where the cannonballs are produced. This one takes ages and ages to pull off. I pulled it off first time (when I first had the idea of getting up there this way) and now only get it every 10 or so go's. --- Remixed console game songs --- http://www.ocremix.org |

| Just though I'd post an update to the 'Swimming inside Tiny Huge Island' glitch, which I just discovered. If you try the same glitch as huge mario instead of tiny mario, the glitch works just the same except there is no water in the island and you just drop right out of the bottom of the island. OK, keep looking for those glitches. --- Ladies and gentlemen, Yoshi has left the building! |

| Actually the water is still there, even if you've drained it previously. You can get a great view of the impossible coin this way. I'll post a pic of it in the picture-glitch topic. |

Stand approximately in the middle of the platform and do a reverse jump toward the wall, what should happen is that Mario will grab hold of an edge within the wall then immediately pull himself up. What I do is go to the next platform over, where the pipe is and and the mini-pirhanna keeps popping up. From there a side-flip to the ledge above is real easy. * * * * * * * * As for getting inside the mountain in Tiny Island mode, you need to explain how and where you can do that. There isn't enough room on the miniturized "Chuck-ya" pad to do the necessary side-flip-dive or long jump. If you can do this, it should be an advantage to have the water low, because there is more of a chance of landing in it. --- Bullet Bill "Mario!

| Yes, you can do it - stand over where the balls roll out from, and then double-jump and dive into the wall. Also, it is probably better to have the water low, because sometimes you'll splash up to the top with it high. Also, you'll still be able get some air when the water is low. |

| Ok, I'm back. I discovered this trick by pure accident: First of all, go to the second Bowser stage. Go through the level until you reach the colorful cage with the elevator to the second "floor" of the stage. Jump on the elevator to reach the second floor, but don't move. Wait for the elevator to descend automatically, and while it descends, push the control stick to the right, so that Mario is pushing the right wall while descending (don't let it go never). When the right wall ends and the exit appears... You'll be floating in mid-air while pushing the wall!! When you stop pushing right, Mario will fall. You can do this the other way round (while going up, as I discovered it first), but its harder. --- It's just wrong when you ask your uncle if you can touch his "psi-balls" ~ Vashu The Stampedo, Paranormal board |

| While I got through the wall three times. I started on the big area on top of the ball generator. I did one jump onto the first step above that, and a second jump with a dive. The problem is that if you don't travel enough you will kick instead. When you get in the wall the camera is hard to control. Often you only see a closeup of the mountain top. I did spot the impossible coin. I tried to make a leap for it, and fell. The water surface in the start area seemed to catch me, but I died anyway. Maybe there is an exact angle you can jump that allows you to get the coin and go through to the water below. --- Bullet Bill "Mario!

| In the vague past, someone posted here about jumping off the cliff in Cool, Cool Mountain and hearing a splash as they fell away. I think I found a possible explanation for what they really did. It is as close as I have come so far to swimming in Cool, Cool Mountain. Jump on a Spindrift and float over the cliff next to the mother penguin. Switch to Mario Cam to look up and drift under the ground at the flattest possible angle you can without bumping the edge. If you do this right, you should drift directly under the pond, and you will pop up to the water's surface with a splash, and then fall away again. Maybe there is someone here who can figure out how to do this so you can jump out through the pond and land safely on the ground. --- Bullet Bill "Mario!

| Just thought I'd post about a weird thing I just noticed, on the second Bowser level, I was wondering if there was any way to stand on top of the colourful cage with the lift in it. So I began trying to jump down from the top level and tried to land on top of the cage, I soon found out that it was impossible, but it is possible to touch the outside of the cage, and if you do, you pass through it and into the cage. I only managed to do it once but it is possible. When I did it, I jumped in the lava above the cage, and while on fire pushed out over the edge, then pushed inwards towards the cage as much as possible. If you manage to miss landing back in the lava you should just land inside the cage. It's very difficult but it can be done. --- Ladies and gentlemen, Yoshi has left the building! |

| This has been copied (and slightly edited) from one of my other posts - its more appropriate in this topic. In Cool, Cool Mountain - has anyone done a long jump off of the middle part (near the rope bridge with the two jumping snowmen) to the island where the pink bomb is, missed the island and fallen for ages then landed in an invisible platform way beneath the level? You get stuck in the surface like you would when you've fallen into snow from a great height, when you get unstuck - you finally fall to your death. --- Remixed console game songs --- http://www.ocremix.org ( great Mario64 remix: http://www.ocremix.org/detailmix.php?mixid=OCR00137 ) |

| "When I said levitation trick I meant the GS code. The invisible walls are Over the cage, meaning you couldn't walk on top of it." Funny how you managed to find this. I assume you mean that an invisible barrier extends above the cage like an upward extention of its sides. Funny that it would let you walk through the side of the cage itself, but not above it. You'd think the programmers would have a reason for any invisible walls they put in. Why would they put it where you supposedly cannot reach anyway? I made a similar discovery in the courtyard before my GS proved a piece of junk. If you try to levitate for the purpose of getting on the roof of the castle overlooking the courtyard, 1) the roof doesn't exist, and 2) there is an invisible barrier extending above the back of the castle. I don't know if it's just an invisible wall or the actual world boundary. "But I could grab from the borders." You need to provide more wording there.

| Post #199 Whelp, I finally decided to give Super Mario 64 another shot. Within the first half hour of play, would you believe I already manage to discover a new glitch? Heheh. At this point in time it's actually nothing impressive, but perhaps if I tinker around a bit more then something bigger will become of it. Here's hoping. I'll report back on this one later. - - - - - - - Dom Dunc: I really appreciate you re-encoding the video's for everyone. That's really nice of you. Thanks. PabloX rulz: I tried out your glitch in Bowser's stage. Pretty interesting stuff. The way Mario floats sideways like that almost looks as if he's sticking onto the cage kind of like Spider Man. Err... don't ask. Bullet Bill: It amazes me to see that you're still keeping this topic alive. I haven't gotten a chance to read through all your post yet though I'm really looking forward to it.
