Miscellaneous Observations
Vložit

- I go over miscellaneous observations that I’ve accumulated over the years, which are from both my own investigations and from being informed by other people (e.g. Tyler Kehne, Peter Fedak, Dennis, bad_boot, Ethan White, Plush, 1ted59).
Usually when I learn something interesting, I'll make a video about it (e.g. how sleeping/blinking works, that the DDD manta ring index resets after 10,000). However, I often encounter things that are just a little interesting, but not so much as to warrant their own video. In these cases, I'd just jot it down in my notes for later. Since this list of semi interesting observations accumulated so much, I figured I'd finally make them all into their own video.
Note that I deliberately excluded the following observations:
(1) Ones that are already present on The Cutting Room Floor (bit.ly/2xSNedR)
(2) Ones that are already well known (e.g. the old-style Mario and Bowser graphics on the final pillars in BitS, that the CCM racing penguin gets larger after 120 stars)
(3) Ones that I’ve covered elsewhere (e.g. the mystery goomba, the new impossible coin)
I’ve excluded these because this video is meant to highlight things that I haven’t really seen be covered elsewhere, and is not meant to cover things that are already commonly known or accessible.
For convenience, here are the timestamps of the sections of the video:
00:00 Misleading Objects
02:03 Miscellaneous Object/Geometry
06:58 Textures
08:47 Entering and Exiting
11:15 Testing Doing Various Things
13:50 Mistakes
16:18 Miscellaneous
Corrections:
(1) As SuperM789 ! pointed out, it's meant to take 31 stars to access the second toad, not 30. I forgot to account for the DDD sub star blocking the entrance to BitFS. - Hry

As a programmer, this is the equivalent of someone saying “this construction worker used a hand screwdriver in this place but an electric drill here”
Which one?
@@coyraig8332 -- Probably the first few about singlet and triplet spawns.
As someone that's done a bit of construction, that would actually make a difference. Some screws need to be turned by hand with a screwdriver or else the threading won't leave a clean groove. Minor details, but sometimes they can make a big difference. Skateboarders used to screw these plastic things onto their boards so it wouldn't damage the board when they did board slides. You had to hand screw them on. If you drilled them on then the screws would break out of the wood the first time you tried to use them.
You would be surprised how sometimes a single byte value can be what makes or breaks a speedrun strategy. There are a few speedruns that would be impossible if insignificant things were coded a slightly different way.

Actually they're rotated to be inside Mario, look closely at his head and you'll notice his feet sticking out a little.
It seems that the legs are not animated for some reason, as the SM64 models don't have a traditional t-pose or a-pose and instead of weird rotations with legs commonly being inside the character's head.

I love how you give enough time to read the text before doing whatever trick you want to demonstrate. Visuals to text reading is all-around great in your videos.
i hate that, because i pause the video for every big text, and when I'm done reading, I have to wait
I'm so used to having to pause for text too, so I do it every time even though he leaves plenty of time to read it.
I understand what you all are talking about. To be honest, it took me a while to get out of that habit when watching Pannen.
some of his earlier videos (namely im thinking of one involving fly guy manipulation in rainbow ride, which used a lot of annotations) had poor timing and had me pausing to read the text, but truly, pannen's got it down to a science now. he's the man!!!
I’m with whiz 85 on this one.
Wait a moment, the water emptying out of the ship is supposed to represesnt the ship rising to the surface? I always though it was just the water magically draining the ship, and then the ship appears on the surface inexplicably in later levels...

Interesting observations doesn't exists
@Robert Enciso I could have sworn I’ve seen a video called ”Interesting Observations” by pannenkoek2012/UncommentatedPannen. 🤔
Have u ever wondered why ur like count is almost that “number”?
It's always interesting to dissect elements that to the developers, were probably just everyday tasks in the office, put some coins here, some Goombas there, and try and learn things from it. Maybe Goombas spawners weren't a thing when those Goombas are placed? it's nice to think about these.
Great work again pannen ♥
Boogs Or maybe they thought "we have too many single goombas arranged in a trio so lets make a spawner for 3 and use it" then they replaced all spawners they felt like doing so/randomly found (like not a main job, the platform in SSL and the platform in BITDS seem pretty Untouched/don't need alot of stuff done, so it would fit the bill) since noone wpuld notice anyways.

15:12 Because the ship is still tilted after water drains away, I never realized as a kid that it’s supposed to have risen to the surface. I thought the air coming from the bubbles in the chest had somehow... pushed all the water out of the ship? That doesn’t make any sense whatsoever, but it’s what my childish mind leapt to.
Well to be fair, the fact that opening up those chests makes the ship rise makes no sense either.
You're not the only one who thought that as a kid
I just always thought that upon opening those chests, the water just magically drains away. I wasn’t concerned that it makes no sense, because it’s a video game. 😆
8:14 those don't look like just vertical lines. More like a corrupted uv unfold, since it preserves the color of the top texture and streches it vertically
Pannen's thumbnails are so good. It's always something that is in the video i.e. not clickbait, yet it's always something that looks really cool and draws your eye, and even if you aren't interested in the look you can still make out that it's informative!
If it grabs your attention in any way, shape, or form, it's clickbait _by definition._
The definition you're thinking of is a _misleading thumbnail._
+Nathan Thames Huh? That's backwards. The word 'clickbait' specifically refers to thumbnails and titles which mislead, overdramatize, or exaggerate the page content. It's an inherently subjective and negative word, so it doesn't apply to things which the speaker doesn't think of as clickbait. And most people wouldn't think of this video's thumbnail as clickbait.
In this case one could call it clockbait.
My personal favorites are the “Sleeping” and “Dying with the Metal Cap” thumbnails
+Nathan Thames
+Sid S
In my opinion, you both are right _and_ wrong.
The real definition for clickbait is exactly what Nathan Thames described. However, the word is misused by people so much that the definition given by +Sid S is what people usually mean by the word.
It's one of those cases where dictionary definition of a word is not what this word actually means. Same is somewhat true for "dank". It's definition(according to Google) is "unpleasantly damp, cold", meanwhile on the internet its meaning is accepted to be "420 be dank smoke weed everyday etc etc" - that's as best as I can explain it.

There have been many, MANY times where I thought "Okay, now I really know every last bit of trivia about this game", but you guys just keep surprising me with new things. I didn't even notice the two coin counting speeds. And it's really strange how the star Toads are programmed. And I never noticed it when speedrunning around a decade ago (I mean, the third one is right in sight after the BLJ). This goes right into my favs :)
btw 16 minuate 25second is true when you inside clock and normal jump to the center for several times than camera will freeze than enter endless stair to push the camera furthur away from the mario than the game will crash theres a several more way to crash this game btw
"Okay, now I really know every last bit of trivia about this game"
WOW this aged poorly
18:50 In the DS version, this was rectified with a more generic text, saying: ”You don’t have the right key to unlock this door.”, or something like that. So, the developers must have been aware of that oversight 🤔.
copy pasted text or just using the same check for all doors, cause idk
@@spaghetto181 Hard to tell 🤷🏼♂️.
they also had to deal with the character doors, thats probably why they went with the more generic approach
@@paulamarina04 That’s true 🤔.
They also fixed 19:48 by making the Toads require 20, 40 and 60 stars. Though 20 is a bit too much, 40 and 60 make perfect sense.
19:07 Toads appearing at different points depending on the number of stars you have is a nice bit of environmental storytelling, even though you have to look through the game's code to see two thirds of it
15:45 I’ve always noticed this geometry mistake, I study Civil Engineering so when a think on Peach’s Castle structure and architecture this always gets me confused

@Wo Wala Moiz Pannen's identical file select music.
No it’s because Pannen looked into a design problem.
18:06 I always found it stupidly satisfying when it counted up quickly.
Can we get an image of a mario holding a mario holding a mario etc. At the max quantity before the game crashes? It sounds pleasant
I always felt uncanny on the path to the moat door, as if it was on the wrong direction. Now I know why
8:13 I'm sue pannen knows this but for anyone interested this occurs due to poor UV mapping. UV maps tell the game how to map 2D textures onto 3D objects. In this case the lines are caused by the pixels of the platform texture being stretched downwards across each lined plane.
Poor UV mapping can destroy models. I'll have to check my CMC models, apparently their UV map is wrong.
That’s literally what happens when you project a texture on a 90 degree angle in sketchup
"I'm sue Pannen knows this"
SPELING 100
Here's an interesting observation, the level Wet Dry World's unique background is actually a view of the coastline of Istanbul. EDIT: It was probably doctored a bit to look more atlantian, hence the roundish form of the temple became more angular and such.

I have 100%'d Mario 64 a million times and for some reason never interpreted that as the ship rising out of the water. I always thought the water was magically leaving the ship.

17:25 creepypasta bait
Every hack to scroll past normal missions in SM64 is personalized. Surprised no one has done something already using this tbh.
13:18 I don't know how I never noticed this, but wiggler is literally made of 5 cannon balls colored yellow.
Lucky Hamburger 6, Nose is literally just a red one.
No way.
They're similar but quite different sprites, the cannonball has a long and thin line of reflected light on its shadow while the Wiggler spheres have a short but wide one. And the cannonball's shadow area is all around bigger. Wiggler also has rougher and more jagged edges.
Actually, you know those yellow balls near the bombs in the Bowser fights? That's what they are.
@@GuanlongX These guys reuse and recolor textures like Toby Fox using litmotifs in his soundtracks.
That mission select thing would work perfectly for a creepypasta
It amazes me that we are on a platform where a video literally called "Miscellaneous Observations" can get over 200,000 views
Actually, almost 500,000
I love how this shows how nothing's really technically perfect like people belive stuff to be
There's just so much that's basically workarounds or cheats that people include in games and you'd never even notice during a normal playthrough
That shadow "mistake" is very clearly an intentional performance optimisation, and the same most likely applies for the tilted ship interior.
casual player: "wow, super mario 64 doesn't have that many glitches"
pannen: "well actually the toad behind the 50 star door appears at 35 stars instead of 50"
A tiny thing I've noticed, if you use C-up to look around and then pause, the skybox will remain in the same position in the pause screen. It obviously only works in levels where the pause screen shows a zoom-out of the course. But I use to do it in LLL all the time because it was really noticeable in that level, especially if you look down, the sky goes black in the pause screen.
I think he's mentioned that in a video before.
C^ needs it's own video, it does so many weird things
15:00 This is a childhood magic ruining realization
Have you already looked into whether the Wii VC float conversion error affects anything else in the game?
I don’t have any idea but one theory is this: LLL’s Rising Square Platforms. They rise up and down leading me to believe it could be useful for something but I doubt it because we can already do most of the things in LLL 0x A Presses
Chillboard’s Alt Wasteyard good theory but it would be completely useless, the only star that is uncollectable in LLL is the pole star inside of the volcano. However if there were platforms in there, then it would be helpful.
@@seangiglio Aaaand now even that a-press is gone. LLL is 0x. Unfortunate.
20:15 thank you for ruining all of Super Mario 64 in a matter of seconds

hello?
20:53 The complete opposite happens in the ROM hack Last Impact, where the music stops in the over-world and the course music gets quiet when you pause.
My favorite part was Mario's squish animation at 14:20.
Oh nice! That interaction at 5:00 seems to be just like Sonic Adventure 2 handles game states. There are different game states that you can enter when you die. If you enter the "death with lives" game state, you'll be spawned back in the stage with one less life, but if you die with 0 lives, you'll enter a different game state, that will take you out of the stage entirely, so getting a life while you're in that game state doesn't change the outcome. This seems to be the same thing that's happening on SM64, so cool!
Is there a channel like this that analyzes SA2? That would be my dream
Not really, but you can join our Discord for that =D

It is still weird that the decision is taken *before* it is needed.
That is a pointless complication for the dev, so maybe there originally was a point (such as different sequence from the start) but it got removed.
@@musaran2 I guess "fade out to game over screen" and "fade out to death scene" are two different states even though they behave the same at first.
If they wanted to make the sequences completely different, having the game make a state transition before the fade was the right choice, since you could customize the fade itself and what happened afterwards, without affecting the other transition. There's literally zero complications that arrise from doing this like they did.

One of the most interesting videos you've made
That platform at 8:06 is weird, it looks like they just applied the cobblestone texture vertically from the top without unwrapping it but then there’s the completely different texture slapped on the side.
I think it's the same texture, just stretched. They didn't unwrap it properly.
It seems to me that the game music themes have different values (not to be confused with music ID’s, which would determine, which *_SPECIFIC_* theme is played), e.g. normal level themes might have value 1 (I don’t know about the Castle theme), and the Boss theme might have value 2. Music value 0 would mean that no music is played. So, when the player enters the boss fight, normally (and initializes it, through dialogue), the music value increments; cue the boss theme; and, when the boss is defeated, the music value decrements; cue the normal level theme. But, if the player enters the boss fight without initializing it correctly, then the music value never increments (thus, the boss theme is never played); but, when the boss is defeated, the music value still decrements (since this part was done correctly). This would put the music value to 0; which would, in this model, mean that no music is played; which is, exactly, what we observe. So, when the boss is defeated, the music value isn’t set to 1, but rather decrements from, what would have, normally, been music value 2; if that makes sense :-). 🙂
the wiggler without drainage glitch completely stopping the music is a pretty good way of capturing just what you did
you broke into a guy's home and killed him
2:30 Perfect music transition
I have an additional observation: In LLL, the rotating stone center that the two flames come out of can be walked through. In addition, walking through it doesn't set Mario on fire.
you know a pannen video is gonna be great when it has the word "miscellaneous" in it
15:40 I already noticed that when I was a kid and I was confused! I was like "What? It doesn't fit!" And now, Pannen shows me that!
2:25 the music lines up with the music in jolly roger bay when it transitions lol
18:25 admit it, this was all of us on our first time playing the game lol
How did you find all these?
now I can never unsee that orange square on the 15 piece puzzle thing
IIRC, the music also gets quieter instead of stopping when you pause while wearing a power cap.
I wonder why they even bothered with that difference instead of just always being quieter. Maybe it's a bug?
4:40 What happens if Mario collects a 1-up when he has 0 lives after his death animation starts but before the death fadeout starts?
So is there a degree and career field for these sorts of studies yet? Maybe you should open a university...
They would rather fund gender studies classes these days instead of real science...

The cannon lid part made me laugh so hard
Some of these discrepancies and decisions are still in Super Mario 64 DS, however with obvious different code, and quirks left behind from the N64 version to really make it a remake and then some.
For example:
-The Jolly Roger Bay Star for getting Red Coins is in the same spot. You’d think there’d be a Star Marker unless the player forgot which mission they were doing.
-100 coin Stars still disappear after leaving the area it’s in, while mission-based Stars don’t always do so.
-The coin counter moving faster and/or slower depending on how many is collected is not the case; it’s the same speed every time, and players still get more lives for ever multiple of 50 they get in coins (50, 100, 150, 200, 250. It stops there due to 255 being the on-screen limit).
-The key message is more vague, saying, “You don’t have the right key for this door!” instead.
-The beeping when the metal cap is put on (by Mario in the original and Wario in the remake) is still apparent, but seems to stop correctly when your health gets filled up by collecting Coins (easiest to do underwater in Jolly Roger Bay or Dire Dire Docks)
-Collecting flying 1-Ups does not work anymore when dying. In the DS remake, it just hovers over your head multiple times until the death transition, and unloads.
-Wall jumping off the falling bridge in Whomp’s Fortress is useless. It only works by kicking. Yoshi can’t even breakdance kick into it to get it to fall. He would have to use the Mega Mushroom, grab onto the ledge of where the fortress is (easier said than done, the ledge grabbing is SUPER precise) and knock it down by running into it.
0:45 but if i throw him with the hat in hand glitch then he will still teleport to the holp
He teleports to the holp when you throw him regardless whether you use hat in hand. Hat in hand just allows you to be nowhere near the holp when you throw him.
I'd be interested in seeing what happens if you drop him somewhere absurdly far away, OoB, etc.

Still learning so much about this game! Also if you try to get the 100 coin star on the slide in Cool Cool Mountain, but miss it and end up going down it again (going outside the cabin and back to the chimney inside), the star will be completely gone. Ooh the rage when I found that out!
I did that once after I missed it
What happens when you select one of the stars like "The castle's secret stars" ?
This is probably not helpful at all, but my guess is either the game will freeze or it will do nothing at all.
It seems to me that stars in this game either sets up a level in the slightest way (like Cool Cool Mountain's star of Snowman's Lost His Head) or is just a hint to direct the player where to go, doing nothing to the level. So selecting a star way beyond correct values may try to access something illegal or just change the level in no way.
Interestingly, IF there was a bug to allow arbitrary star selection, then it MIGHT allow to choose arbitrary configuration of level variable elements.
IIRC each object in a level can be set to appear always, or only on star 1, only on star 2... up to star 5. (ie it can't be set to only appear on star 6.) So I assume it would give the same configuration as star 6.
Rena Kunisaki
That's interesting. Star 6 cannot have unique object setups?
My guess would be you spawn in PSS
Please do an in depth video about the complex glitches you have to do in order to get the upstairs key before the basement key!
The King Bobomb part is so interesting cause it doubles as a way to make the area look like a boss fight. I always wondered why the camera stays locked on the top of the mountain and does that weird zoom out thing. 😀

the fact that there are still new things about this game that i didnt know about after so many years both baffles and astounds me. good work and keep it up!
pannenkoek sincerely thank you for your videos. they make me think about the vast amount of information present in basically anything if you tear it up enough - we're never ever going to stop discovering things in life, even once humanity solves science and math and all that to its limits, because while all that's getting done a billion things as unintentionally complex as mario 64 are getting made and sitting there full of ephemera for someone to pull apart and lay end to end the way you do, and that owns a lot
These kinds of videos are always cool Pannen! Helps us truly see what the game has to offer.
2:28 the jolly roger theme starts with the 3 notes that are supposed to play in the bobomb theme
I noticed that as well
That sped up Athletic Theme (starts at 10:40) is strangely fun to listen to.
I somehow knew you were going to upload today. I checked twice before this morning and now I’m here.
21:47 Is that the game switching to Mario's low-poly sprite for when he's far away?
7:57 I've seen that happen in 3DS max, certainly some setting not being correct in the texture mapping. Not sure what the fix for that is.
This is genuinely my favorite thing to see on my subscriptions. Just know that each of your uploads - regardless of importance - make my day a little more exciting! Thanks dude :d
4:05 Literally unplayable
11:36 Why is this so satisfying?
18:57 The wrong key message in the basement door is quite common in randomizer XD
Stuff like this is so awesome and never gets old... love seeing the inner-workings of the game engine like this
I love your videos. They calm me and help me fall asleep. You're an inspiration man.
