Sharkey91 | [HD SM64DS] Navigating the Toxic Maze 0x B Presses (ALL CHARACTERS) @Sharkey91 | Uploaded 7 years ago | Updated 3 hours ago
In this video, I collect the star Navigating the Toxic Maze in Hazy Maze Cave in 0x B Presses.

Previously, this star was already possible in 0x B Presses but it was needed to use Luigi and his flower power, or else the star could only be done in 1x B Press if any other character was used. Now, this video proves that this star is doable in 0x B Presses as ANY character (even Wario and Yoshi).

Side note : The reason why I took Mario is just because he is the fastest in the game, and also because it's faster to get into the rolling rocks room with him, as his power flower can let him enter that room a lot faster by going over the gap.

So here is the detailed explanation of what I do in this video :

First, I take the flower power and go to the rolling rocks room. From there, I perform a glitch that requires the black brick and that allows me to go out of bounds, and I carefully land on the seam. I move on the seam for several seconds to then open the door from the room with the star to enter the rolling rocks room again. Why is that important ? Well, that's because to save space in the memory and prevent lag, the developers made a room loading system so that only the room where you are in is loaded. But if you go to another room without going through a door, the room will stay unloaded, which means that there are only floors, walls and doors. There is not any object loaded when a room is unloaded, and this includes stars.

So when I go into the room with the star, I perform the Permanently Loaded Room Glitch : if you exit a room that was unloaded, it will load and stay loaded until you enter it and exit it again. That means I can safely stay in the rolling rocks room, and the room with the star will still be loaded, therefore the star too.

For the last step, I come back to the black brick and do the same glitch to get out of bounds again. Then, I make my way to the star since I can bypass the grate that normally prevents me from getting the star.

Thanks for reading and watching :D
