couldn't you get a better record by doing the shortcut on lap 2? I mean, it'd be miserable having to do an entire lap between attempts, but it'd shave off a tiny bit of time
I just want to say I love your videos and breakdown of each game particularly when you give context about how the game works. Many other speedrun channels don't do that and I appreciate being able to understand the significance of a skip or speedrun in that game's context. Karl Jobst and Summoning Salt have their place as well but I have to say you are my favorite of the three. Keep up the great work! ❤
Good video, Marty actually got finally got out of bounded, it's the light above him changing the color n the front, he's regular looking from behind. 😭
The link to the CZcams channel for the music you use in the video doesn't work, I'd like to find out what song started playing at 14: 38
Ngl war thunder looks really fun, too bad my pc is garbage and I don’t have a ps or xbox
Update: Abney has hit thee wall clip after 59 hours of attempts, he took the fast lap record and the 3lap record as he came in half a second faster than the tied no shortcut 3lap world record. Without Dan or MR doing attempts or a new shortcut, Abney's record will likely stand forever.
the or three?
@@DemolitionDerbyChaosShortsI'm thinking 'the', if someone hit all 3 that would be insane
"There's no school tomorrow"
"you have permission to stay up late"
" *You're 38 years old* "
Literal gold.
I don't like to assess my own work, but I thought this was the greatest intro I've ever made
@@Abyssoft nah, it's the greatest intro period.
@@Abyssoft i've never been so excited about my age before... your math was impeccable.
"Mom! Mooooom! Can I please stay up to watch the new Abyssoft video? Pretty please?!"
@@Abyssoftthe way you deliver the line is half the humor...i love the 'Leslie Nelson-esque' style of remaining completely monotone/deadpan/serious, despite saying absurd/nonsensical/subverting lines, and youve got that in spades
Marty was actually a normal Thwomp once. He was the first to discover driving through walls, but he was shunned and almost killed for his crimes. In fears that he could clip through swords and bullets, they injected him with Kryptonite and then was jailed for life instead since he is no longer a threat. We could have gotten Thwomps in MK64 if it wasn't for Marty's crimes to physics and the subsequent driving ban to all Thwomps.
Now we just see an almost catatonic Marty in the lowest point of his life. There is no hope in his eyes or dental hygeine in his teeth.
Well done
No he's the sm64 tick tock clock thwomp in yellow lighting
Yeah I read about this in a game Informer magazine this dudes right.
That ghost in the corner strat is nuts, I never would have thought of that.
The only bad thing about it is you don't get to race against a ghost to see if your on PR pace
Never realized they were any more than a visual effect as a kid, but now that I think about it, it makes sense: It's just a normal racer with its course programmed and its collision disabled. "Ghosts" in Souls games act the very same way. It's interesting that the devs didn't do anything about the Thwomp's AI to disable it going after ghost racers ― I guess either it was too difficult to fix, or maybe they just somehow didn't think of it. Or maybe they just thought it was neat
13:49 I like how you can't hear an audible reaction but the controller sounds get ever so slightly louder.
Twilly you are such a huge nerd.
There's no pop off like I've come to expect with speed runners/challenge runners, he just keeps playing to finish out like a Chad.
I love that the human brain gets better at something once we know it’s possible. The barrier to this skip feels like it was just one person getting it, considering it took years for 1 to complete it, then 3 different players hit the skip within such a short period of time. Goes to show that human limitation may go further than we think
Marty isn't locked in there as punishment, but for his safety. He's gone mad raving that the stars were going to kill him.
He laughs because he knows he's safe now: after all, it's not like the carts can just drive through walls, right?
Who are you trying to kid... Marty is locked up for OUR safety :o :/
No way dude he is in there because we can unlock Marty as a playable character. All you have to do is drive Bowsers castle backwards 3 laps. I can actually confirm this is true, my uncle works at Nintendo. Source: dude trust me.
@@BIueFalcon confirmed
Source:me
As a 38 year old sitting watching this video.. that opening hit me hard 😂
Wait,are you still in school??
@@tiktok-mc2nq No, which is why there's no school tomorrow.
@@Xbob42 I am just joking
Hopefully someday, someone can capitalize on one of my old glitch findings where you can shroom into a sliding Thwomp, which propels you backward into the wall behind you if timed correctly. Unfortunately I never was able to find a way to exploit this finding into a shortcut.
We can only hope Weatherton or Forest find a use for this; although I do recall Drew telling me he looked into this and couldn't find anything, but I could be misremembering.
There is a room where you can shroom boost into the thwomps to get launched out of bounds (the room next to the bridge room before the stairs.) Unfortunately there’s nothing that came out of it because the launch distance was not sufficient for storing a select checkpoint or to abuse a checkpoint to skip a portion of that track for that matter. If that effect is possible to recreate in another room, it would be intriguing to see if it leads to anything useful.
I'm not usually an outspoken fan of onomatopoeia, but that goshdarn *POOMP!* has been haunting my brain since 1998 and I just can't get over it. It's perfect, no other combinations of letters could better describe the sound of a go-kart hitting the ground. Totally off-topic, but… ye ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
8:50 That gave me a good laugh I forgot about that from that video. Poor guy! I've done the same before in other games and that muscle memory just kicks in after so many attempts
Ah yes, 155cc, the true fastest mode
True!
@@DoctorSwellman doctorswellman jumpscare
Everybody gangsta until a Star adds 5cc... 🌟
Due to floating point imprecision, I object
Its actually required to unlock Marty as a Playable character
mate how are you still at 76k subs?? been here since ~25k and i wouldve thought you would get 200k+ by now
your content is top notch
This channel is for the deep divers. The rabbit hole seekers.
1:35(ish) - fun fact: "Marty" here isnt even Green...he's Blue, just like all the rest, but for some reason his "cell" is bathed in Green Light (you can see it on the floor tiles and walls, as well) making him look green...
he is radioactive and the jail serves as his quarantine
Don't forget, there's a one month free trial for tier 2 on my Patreon, come give it a try at no cost! ttps://www.patreon.com/abyssoft
"DEKKALS"
Bro, it's D- CALS XDDDDD
So…. 20+ years of playing this game and I find out today you can get a mini boost in Mario Kart 64…
Lol. Yeah me too.
I thought it was a new feature when I played MK tour.
Wait what? Didn't the manual talk about it or something? I remember doing it as a casual renting an N64 from the video store.
It wasn't a secret!
@@Zraknul I don't ever remember seeing or reading a manual. Or I clear forgot. Either way, I should probably try it out this weekend.
@@Zraknul I never tried drifting in MK64 as a kid so I never discovered it. I thought it was a new feature in Double Dash
@@Deuce1550 Good luck and enjoy :)
This was done just a few days after someone found a new wall clip shortcut on the same track in Mario Kart Wii, that's insane
Well ONLY because you specifically asked for my theory about Marty... see, a Thwomp's life can be relegated to simply falling heavily towards the ground repeatedly , mostly when there is a potential victim under it , sometimes they just practice for awhile. Well Marty got way too good for his job, mf was smashing everything in sight, until Bowser realized life isn't even fun with Marty stealing all the action and driving everyone away. So he was barred away, just outside of the game area for racers, as a constant reminder of the power that COULD BE UPON THEE if only perhaps it were released once again, thus contributing to the overall intimidation of Bowser's Castle, and image is incredibly important to Bowser, to show off the powerful slaves he controls in his evil army.
Best I got bro.
Fantastic vid as they all are🙌
Ya know, I kinda love how a video can have a chapter called “How Walls Work,” and in context have it make total sense to need to explain that concept.
yay!!!!!!!!!!!
This is absolutely crazy, a new shortcut was just found on this track in mario kart wii too.
The editing in this video was amazing. I love how you used the maps to explain the shortcuts. I'd love to see a video by you about every track in the game!
Marty's not in jail. He's a sentry. But the safety glass melts in the high heat of the lava-surrounded castle so they use the jail bars instead. He laughs at you when you approach because the races are the most interesting thing to happen to him; who goes to this castle otherwise?
Thank you for keeping update with Mario kart 64 community, this helps to understand for the people who don’t know about speed run’s and wr times as well.
Quick! Drop your pants and spread your cheeks!
"The year is 2023, and you're turning 38 years old"
So close, turning 35 this year. This hits very close to home.
Subscribed.
Marty is NOT in Jail. He's being contained because he is TOO powerful (ie., instant KO upon respawn)
Marty is the Thwomp from Tick Tock Clock punished for his crimes of allowing Mario to reach the power star at the very top of the level.
13:00 - Just to fill in a gap, while it didn't count as an official WR, mrcornhead would hit the clip multiple times in 2021, including once with minimal set up that was just 4s off the world record
Holy crap, this gets me hype. I never thought someone would ever find one in this level, but here we are. Unbelievable. I need a MArio Kart 64 adventure mode like Diddy Kong Racing. It's going to happen. One day...
I’m a bit confused: a wall’s hitbox will keep you 1 kart-length (KL) from its other side, but you’re still able to drive right next to a wall, and collide with it, far closer than a KL away. Why is that? Is the geometry of a wall just stretched out towards the track by 1 KL, with the ‘actual wall’ hidden behind it?
More or less, yes. Also I think the kart hitbox is deceptive too?
I dunno, I'm not a speedrunner. 😅
This intro is my favorite video game related video intro I’ve heard. It really reminded me of being a kid. Nostalgia is a crazy feeling!
13:55 i love how the nonchalant controller sounds continue. like how is my man not absolutely freaking out that he hit it LOL
What if everyone are prisoners and this green Marty is only one free? Everything is a matter of perspective...
6:15 after hearing you pronounce decal like that I instantly knew you were Canadian lol great video as always man!
the most crazy thing about this is the thwomps going after the ghost
Played this game RELIGIOUSLY with my brother and friends. Knew all of this except the hidden wall jump. Actually had MK64 at a bar once, brother and I challenged to guys playing and bet beers on a circuit. We destroyed them and got free beers lol
Ok, that sponsor segue was masterful.
most hilarious opening to any video i've heard in a long time. subscribed.
marty is in jail for thwomping kamek
There was actually some controversy surrounding Forest's clip. This is because he didn't use the Nintendo 64, but VC.
wait wait wait back up the thwomps get distracted by the ghost???? what.
It is surprising how accurate the introduction is..
That intro was incredibly dope
11:00 use three different colors for the three different hitboxes for the upper, lowerr, and upright walls. It will make more sense visually that way, instead of fading different hitboxes out.
For the last time it's not green.. The lighting makes it look green.
I really enjoy how N64 Mario has become a whole area of metaphysics (as well as the holes)
My mom did this in 2003. Not a WR just the glitch. We were amazed and tried to reproduce it but never could.
14:00
Oh man! It happened on my birthday! That makes this even better!
THE SKIP HAS BEEN HIT
Oh MY GOD THAT AD TRANSITION!
Its like that one theoretical physics idea; if you run into a wall and all your atoms line up with the wall's, you will pass right through it.
Neat analysis video! Thanks for uploading!
I could go for some pizza sticks right now. Excellent video, I'm always fascinated by the world of speedrunning!
That intro hit too close to home for me! Spooky.
Maybe you already know, but during the wall explanation, the screen shows 155cc but you said (and meant) 150cc. Great video!
perfect transition to the ad btw
The time for 'Best Records" at 13:35 is perfect.
I can't wait until this video gets recommended to over a million people and the speedrunning world at large can see this
"... Speed burst, indicated by your character shouting"
"ohh" lol
Mario Kart 64 is the best Mario Kart game of all time!. You still see tournaments run in Arcades & local Pubs all around the country. Nintendo should really do a remake of this game as Mario Kart 8 doesn't do the Mario Kart 64 classic maps any justice whatsoever
Mario Kart 64 has no mercy. New Mario Kart is soft
Loved the false outro, always quality work that fully invests me
Huh, it's a weird trend I've noticed in speedrunning. A mental block broken when one person does a near impossible trick that opens the floodgates. Took years for one person to get it and not too long another 2 have.
Marty is a political prisoner, he was imprisoned by Princess Peach for advocating the abolition of the monarchy and a transition to democracy
Spoilers:
Those fake out endings were glorious.
Way to ruin it
@@rx-heaven why are you reading comments and not expecting spoilers? 😂
@@Shrando On mobile, this comment shows up on screen directly below the video even when you haven’t tapped the comments at all. It’s basically impossible to avoid unless you immediately go into landscape mode while not looking at the screen
@@maxlindemann1429 Then don't look at it, or complain to Google to change the YT app. Comments are for commenting about the video.
@@maxlindemann1429 I can understand being annoyed at a feature of youtube but that didn't meant rx-heaven had to complain to someone for making a perfectly fine comment.
Marty failed to use the wart hunder discount code and got thrown in prison (he deserved it)
I enjoyed watching the video, Abyssoft. Keep up the good work!
Nintendo really needs to bring back the speedometer with the next wave of dlc
I don't get the mushroom before the spiral strat.
If you use it to boost off the final ramp and drive along the wall to the right of the building at the end of the lap, you can shortcut to the finish line
Marty? Green. Yoshi? Green. Marty's in jail for tax evasion
if 3 weathertenko's is possible, i have a feeling a 2 or 3 lap wallclip will happen someday
Not unless a trick is found that makes it much easier. Unlike 3 out of 3 wethertenkos in which being the first to do it guranteed a world record regardless of skill level, you have to drive extremely well to get the record in addition to nailing the trick to get it. Wethertenkos save multiple minutes this saves 6 seconds
Weathertenkos take like 4 seconds to fail
This takes 30
Is Marty arrested?
Or is Bowser's Castle really just a Thwomp shopping mall...
Green thwomp got a DUI, lost his license, and got caught driving without a license
6:13 "hundreds of deckles" took me a minute. I was about to look up a new seemingly military term I didn't know...and then it hit me.
It's like Pannenkoek and SummoningSalt made a collaboration video.
That's meant with no disrespect! Great video :)
Marty is the Whomp equivalent of The Hulk and he's stronger than Bowser, but without arms he can be trapped easily so they keep him in a room with a light that keeps him stable and reinforced floors he can't pound his way out of.
He's in there because Bowser knows an uncontrollable Marty rampage would decimate his entire empire and any kingdom Bowser wishes to someday rule. Kamek may have been involved with Marty's mutation...
that ad read transition was actually fire
Marty did a little trolling (arson) and that's why he's in jail
I also did a little trolling (Rwandan genocide) but they haven't got me yet
"Now let's talk about walls"
Me: Oh god this is going to be fucking boring
:3 minutes in to wall explanation:
Me: I've never cared about walls more in my life than I do right now.
I feel like only bismuth and Abyssoft can make me listen to mechanics of walls in games for hours.
ZOOMZIKE ACTUALLY MADE A VIDEO RECENTLY ON WHY THAT WHOMP IS IN JAIL 1:41
I don't think it's a green Thwomp. I think the cell is mossy, as you can see the same green shade on the ground texture. It's either dim green light reflecting on Thwomp and his prison or it's moss that has grown all over his body.
Finally, they made a sequel to weathertenko
Now someone has to get 3 in a row
There actually was a sequel already, it's called the desertenko and you can learn about it in my Kalimari Desert video
That ad transition was priceless
Great vid, Abyss!
Marty was trying to unionize.
Enjoyed the video!
7:35 it is displayed as 155c when you said 150cc 😜
yeah your intro just described me perfectly not gonna lie
subbed
Video topic response first: (ish): I like that you, of the more notable speedrunning community creators, seem to keep very on top of the latest news. You're the on-the-ground reporter :P
I loved the intro lol. Makes my sense of lost time and age feel okay for one second
When people say _"It's TAS Only"_ are almost always proven wrong, because someone can and will attempt it and it will work by figuring out the timing that makes it work.
It's not technically wrong, it's TAS-only until it isn't. 😂
Summoning Salt is about to drop in here and introduce himself
Martin isn't in jail, he's just role playing as the star in bob-omb battlefield
Dude that's freaking hilarious how the thwomps try to crush the ghost which is just driving into the wall 😆 Didn't know that was a thing.
Marty downloaded a car
Wow, I have been watching a lot of the Mario Kart Wii version of this. I was waiting for the textures to load.
Marty commited arson. He got sentenced to 69 years in prison.
Loved this video!
ayo that sponsor transition was mad smooth
Isn't that mt input display incorrect? You don't just counter steer you have to move the stick left right or right left once you're drifting. Or can you make it orange just by drifting too?
In 6 years someone's going to pull all three stair skips off
