pannenkoek2012 | SM64 - Overextended Seesaw Platform Glitch (Part 2) @pannenkoek2012 | Uploaded 10 years ago | Updated 1 day ago
Since my first Overextended Seesaw Platform Glitch video [youtube.com/watch?v=4ZnrKNHiRto], I've learned that I missed a couple platforms. And so, here is part 2, where I investigate those platforms, as well as shed some light on why 270 degrees is the maximum you can rotate a seesaw platform.

I collect the star Stomp on the Thwomp in Tick Tock Clock using 7 A presses. The A presses are as follows:
A Press #1: to jump onto the platform preceding the cogs with the bob-omb
A Press #2: to jump off of the pole
A Press #3: to jump onto the lower one of the two rotating cubes
A Press #4: to double jump from the upper rotating cube to a platform
A Press #5: to triple jump into the wall
A Press #6: to wall kick off that wall to get onto the walkway
A Press #7: to jump onto thwomp
This video is an improvement from my previous video in which I collected this star in 8 A presses. You can find that video here: http://youtu.be/Ns2QSI5N0Ag. Since then, I worked out a way to get from the up-and-down elevator to the pole platform without having to press A. Specifically, I bring a bob-omb all the way from its starting point to the elevator and collect its coin there to activate the 100 coin star. I then combine vertical speed conservation, a ground pound, and a star dance clip to get up to the pole platform.
So what is vertical speed conservation? When Mario does a dive recover and lands, the variable that maintains his vertical speed does NOT reset to zero. So, if Mario lands while he is falling, then this vertical speed will be negative. But if Mario lands while he is still ascending (as is the case when he dive recovers on a rising elevator), then this vertical speed will be positive. This vertical speed WILL reset to 0 if Mario moves at all, but punching and breakdancing will not affect it. Anyway, once Mario becomes airborne, then his vertical speed takes instant effect. So by storing a positive vertical speed and not resetting it, I am able to have Mario pop up when he punches his way off of the elevator. The reason I needed this vertical speed bounce instead of a regular dive recover is because Mario is able to ground pound with the former, and so the combined height advantages of vertical speed conservation, a ground pound, and a star dance clip were just enough to make it up to the pole platform.
So what is a star dance clip? The star dance clip is a technique where Mario collects a star, thereby allowing him to get onto ledges he wouldnt normally be able to get on. You see, when Mario collects a star, he enters a state where he is able to grab onto ledges. But when he grabs on in this state, instead of entering the grabbing on animation, he just appears at the top of the ledge and does his star dance.

I collect the star Stomp on the Thwomp in Tick Tock Clock using 6 A presses. The A presses are as follows:
A Press #1: to get past the first rotating block
A Presses #2-3: to get past the 3 rotating blocks onto the mesh floor
A Press #4: to get onto the rotating cogs
A Press #5: to double jump to the top of the clock
A Press #6: to jump onto thwomp
This video is an improvement from my previous video in which I collected this star in 7 A presses. You can find that video here: https://youtu.be/5W6_55IDpbU. Since then, Tyler Kehne discovered that there is a pedro spot within the cogs if the clock parts are frozen. Furthermore, he figured out that Mario could reach this pedro spot using a bob-omb. I then optimized the A presses needed to achieve that pedro spot enough so that we ended up saving an A press.
Here is a play by play of what I do. First, I use the crazy box in TTM to set the HOLP to a precise location. Then in TTC I use instant release to place the bob-omb at the HOLP. I then climb up TTC and reactivate the bob-omb to have it snap to me. I bring it to the cogs and use its hitbox to push Mario into the pedro spot. From there, I use the pedro spot to build up speed until I have enough to double jump to the top of the clock, and from there I collect the star.
What is instant release? If Mario both dives into a grabbable object and bonks his head on a wall simultaneously, hell both grab the object and release it on the same frame. The HOLP is a variable in the game that keeps track of the last place Mario has held an object. It updates continuously as Mario holds an object, and its the position where released objects appear. However, when Mario performs instant release, the object is released at the HOLP (as it usually is), but the HOLP has not been updated to where it should be since Mario released the object after 0 frames! This means the object will appear at the previous HOLP, i.e. the coordinates of the last place Mario held an object.
What is a pedro spot? Its a spot where Mario can be airborne and about to move onto a floor that has a ceiling right above it. The game calculates Marios intended position, which is then raised up by the floor. However, the ceiling prevents Mario from moving to that spot. Consequently, Mario will end up remaining in place while able to gain forward speed. His forward speed will increase until the ceiling or floor runs out and he breaks free from the pedro spot.

I collect the star Timed Jumps on Moving Bars in Tick Tock Clock using 6 A presses. The A presses are as follows:
A Press #1: to jump into the wall from the first hand
A Press #2: to wall kick off that wall to get onto a higher platform
A Press #3: to jump to the platform with the pole
A Press #4: to jump off of that pole
A Press #5: to jump onto one of the moving bars
A Press #6: to jump into the cage with the star from that moving bar
This video is an improvement from my previous video in which I collected this star in 7 A presses. You can find that video here: http://youtu.be/63ja6UXHPZE. Since then, I figured out that I could dive-recover to collect the star rather than jumping to it. I guess I just missed that the first time.

I collect the star The Big House in the Sky in Rainbow Ride using 3 A presses. The first A press is to jump over the second glass box that the carpet goes through. The second and third A presses are to jump over the wooden platforms that the carpet goes through while going around the house.
This video is an improvement from my previous video in which I collected this star in 4 A presses. You can find that video here: http://youtu.be/ukVJqABBTOs. Since then, I discovered that I could use Lakitu to get on top of the first glass block. This involves keeping Lakitu inactive at a low elevation by getting far away from him. If this were not done, Lakitu would ascend with Mario, never allowing Mario to fall onto him. I then lure Lakitu towards the glass block, and bounce on him to grab onto it.
