- The Backwards Long Jump glitch (BLJ) is the most infamous speedrun glitch in Super Mario 64. But where did it come from? Does it still work in Super Mario 3D All Stars? How has the BLJ evolved over the years?

Hey everyone. I’d like to thank you all for the support lately. It’s blown me away and we’re about to hit 10k subs soon, which is INSANE. Again, thank you! Next vid will cover 3D All Stars speedruns (including Sunshine and Galaxy) so look forward to that! Been busy with midterm exams so I apologize for making y’all wait.
I cannot wait for that!
This is the beginning of a huge and successful channel , your content is fresh and delivered extremely well ! I hope that you keep growing !!!!
Keep at it, man! Your content is very thorough and entertaining to watch!
Hey man be careful with the new switch version of DKC2 and Mario64. The controllers timing is off and the D-pad is acting screwy. Just thought I would warn you and anyone else thinking about getting the game. It's still good. You will just have to readjust to the timing for everything.
Congrats on 10k
Game: *Exists*
Mario: laws of science prepare to be ignored.
On N64 is to 240p
Walls: **Exists**
Mario: I’m gonna pretend I didn’t see that.

The Ass Warp has to be the best Super Mario move in history.
It is and always will be
My friends and I called the A Z move the "butt slam" my whole childhood.
@Terrorized sussy amogus Idk. Friend told me to use it. Thought it looked nice.
I like that name better
If you're parents see this your not going to be able to touch grass reason is bc you sweard

I know it's a joke, but serious talk just in case anyone reading this takes it seriously (because the internet can bring out the worst in people)...
A half-A press is a naming convention for minimal A-press runs - it refers to an A-press that's only necessary in an individual star run and can simply be piggy-backed off a previous A-press in a full-game run.
Example: Swimming in Dire Dire Docks requires you to press and hold the A-button, but in a full-game run you can hold the A-button from the star select screen to avoid the extra A-press at the start of the level, whereas you can't in an individual star run. Thus, it's called a "half-A-press".
I've never heard of parallel universes.
Everyone: I'm gonna do the BLJ.

Brother...... this is amazing.
To Nintendo's credit, they unknowingly patched out a glitch despite there being zero knowledge of it in the Japanese gaming community.
First reply + makes sense

The Japanese community calls it the ケツワープ aka Ass Warp, it is knowm
@@varietychannot in 1997 tho it wasnt
I suspect Nintendo didn’t know about it either, but they realised while updating it that they accidentally didn’t include a backwards speed cap, and added one, patching out the BLJ. People often talk about it as Nintendo patching the BLJ specifically, to target speedrunners, but really it was just fixing a minor mistake that just so happened to kill the BLJ (and other glitches).
When you talked about the November 2000 issue of Club Nintendo i went to my collection of magazines and i actually own this one, its so cool that Mexican players discover one of the most well known and iconic SM64 tricks ever
I own a copy too!

I just realized how small this channel is, and this was in my reccomened. Looks like you are in the verge of popularity.
Maybe if "lunatic j" wasn't his name people would be more likely to subscribe, just thinking aloud.
I saw you on another vid
@BlazarBlue I don't give a shit what you think. I said I personally am less inclined to subscribe to someone named lunatic.
@@RaniaIsAwesome That makes no sense. You don't like a channel because of a name. Its more about the content.
@@user-qs7rn4qy8j Yeah but if you're on the fence the name might be a factor.
This may go viral hopefully
edit/addon: Why isnt 50 star a speedrun category or 30 star or even 1 key(this one seems unlikely unless a new strat is found or a tas category or something)?
i think it could be viable for runners to have some shorter but funner runs
All ready recommended
yep trust me hes gonna get more than 100k pussys i mean views xDdxDdx
Oh it already got recommended to me
I got a vid that went viral but not this viral

Extremely high quality for such a small channel! Half the creators with millions of subs probably don’t spend as much time on videos as you looking at the quality of this masterpiece, I loved every bit of this! I’m excited to see what’s next. Also there was a lot of new information that I never knew so that was cool too.
EpicManSuper56 I totally agree.
Now now. Don’t make me blush...
Tbh, you kinda do be shooting up in subs extremely quickly, so glad you put this video in smallant’s Discord server so I could find it while you were still a little smaller so I can see your channel grow a little
hes got a great voice and tone, along with great video quality
Your subs have doubled since I checked earlier today, that was about 10 and a half hours ago, small channels usually grow slowly and large channels can’t grow too quick because they already have a bunch of subscribers so compared to their sub total each sub is nothing but you just seem so get at least a hundred subs every time I check how many you have
As a kid, I practiced the BLJ glitch as hard as I could after first seeing it online. Mastering it is extremely satisfying.
I just did it today. Really makes you feel proud 😊
It's also extremely frustrating since the timing is so precise that if you get it off by a slight margin, you can screw it all up and not build up enough speed.

They both don't have a sword, wonder if they can even beat calamity ganon
TAS is cheating and doesn't count.
As a casual speedrunner I say this with confidence.
@@PandaKnives. ...yes, TAS obviously doesn't count as it isn't even a human playing. It is useful for discovering tricks and glitches to help beat the game faster.

Makes me curious as to why those 2 brothers were randomly trying to back jump up the stairs in the first place 😂
It's not that strange like some other glitches. Like the infinite jump glitch in botw.
(my first glitch I made correctly)
Hahahaha it was the little brother who found it and he said that he liked how mario sounded when he could do it 😂
I love how J talks about the BLJ like a super saiyan transformation. A Technique one person used only talked of before in some sort of informational story or scripture, and others followed after them to discover the technique, but few could master the technique and even expand on it.

Mario: "And I took that literally"
Man, this video is really great, any Mario or speedrunning fan should watch this! I was hoping someone would make a video about the history of BLJs, and this video did not disappoint! The fun fact about the Japanese name for BLJs was also hilarious. Looking forward to more from your channel!
Hi I sub to you
Some scans of the December '96 Japanese "Super Mario 64 Complete Clear Guide Book" came out today, and you can see on page 135 a clear documentation of the use of the BLJ to skip the endless staircase! I know the internet wasn't widespread back then but its amazing how long this trick flew under the consciousness of (particularly) westerners given how long it was known about, given its usefulness and eventual infamy.
In Mexico this was well known, I remember many friends knew about this trick, we just didn’t exploited it to its limits like speedrunners do now.
Entonces, se sabía antes del artículo?
@@edgar4887 No sé exactamente la cronología de los hechos, o si mis amigos sabían del artículo o lo hayan tomado de ahí. Pero si recuerdo que me decían que si saltabas de espaldas y le picabas muchas veces podías subir las escaleras, yo no lo podía probar porque tenía otros juegos de 64, pero recuerdo que mis amigos de la escuela me contaban eso.

Back in time glitch
It’s amazing how such a powerful game-breaking asset to the speed runner toolkit was added because someone forgot to add a speed cap for the backwards long jump

When you said the BLJ is the “Asswarp” in Japanese, I started laughing, I don’t know why, but it just sounds funny
Me: *thinking this is going to be some nice commentary on glitches from a beloved classic*
video at the end: PARALLEL UNIVERSES!
Me:"...what?"
You gotta watch Pannenkoek2012's commentary on how to do the "Watch for falling rocks" star in 0.5 A-presses.
Well hecking made! This is an awesome explanation of something I didn't know much about, and just sorta assumed was always a thing. Awesome job putting this together!

Chrono Trigger is the best video game ever made.
@@LunaticJ dude, i feel bad only ONE percent of ur viewers are subscribed tbh
Lunatic J have another sub! I love chrono trigger. I wish they would remake it or give us something along the lines of chrono cross
@@LunaticJ you deserve many more subs. This is such high quality, nothing can beat it
@@rattfish the more someone asks to sub the less likely I am to do it. Especially when it's 2x in the same vid.
Just found your channel 40 minutes ago and your subscriber count has climbed by several hundred already, you definitely deserve it, keep up the great work!
Subbed bc 1) this is a new take on "history of", as you focused not on the speed running story but on an aspect, the BLJ and 2) your timing and choosing of music
When you realize that former US president Lyndon B. Johnson had the initials LBJ: "We were on the verge of greatness. We were this close."

And they removed it in the port ]:(

@@FamousSeamus lol
I dont get how you have so good quality for a pretty small channel. I love this channel its realy interesting.
I’m so glad to see how well this channel has been doing recently! I can’t wait to see this channel explode if content this good keeps coming out
Amazing story! I've learned the BLJ as of today with the fan PC port, and the glitch worked. You sir earn a sub as I love this video.
just searched "super mario 64 new blj" and found this vie 11 hours after its uploaded lol
Nintendo: *re-releases SM64 without BLJ*
Me, a non-speedrunner: Oh no. Anyway...
"let's go back a few decades ... to 2000"
n-no, please, don't remind me of how old i am
Dude I LOVE this style of video and you do it really well. Looking forward to seeing your channel blow up!
I had no idea about the "Ass Warp" thing lmao great video! I subbed
Welp your channel is gonna be blessed by YT
So happy CZcams led me to this channel! As a Mario fan who is JUST starting out with watching speedruns, this channel has SOO much potential.
I never comment on videos but felt the need to here, your content is high quality. I'm super picky about people I watch on youtube, I literally thought you were a huge channel but its so small (right now) please keep up the great work! im looking forward to the next video and im also looking forward to seeing you grow into a huge channel! seriously can't stress enough how good your content is.
this guy deserves way more recognition.
"Unless you've been living under a rock, this is the first thing that pops into your mind when you think of Mario 64."
Patrick: haha yes
I truly hope you keep making videos man, you're a master at what you do
This was an incredibly well edited video, you deserve more subscribers!!
Loved this mechanic, it was the heart and soul of breaking and optimizing Mario 64, it’s a shame they patched it out of 3D collection by using the shindou version.
Edit:misspoke about what happened to bljs
They didn’t patch it out for the 3D collection, they just used the newest version for it, which just so happens to have it patched out
Muddy Calendar thank you for understanding it so many people don’t
It was removed over 2 decades ago in the shindou release of mario 64 in Japan
Sal Ari that’s what I meant
They patched it in 1997, they probably didn't even know about it, might have just realized they forgot to put a negative speed cap.

Excuse me
*W H A T*
This video was amazing! I can tell that you put your heart into it. You have earned my sub!! Please keep going! This was so good! With this kind of content I'm sure you will get there!!
Just saw this video and then I watched more of you, your videos are such a high quality I thought you have at least 100k subscribers. My friend you have a new subscriber! Keep up the good work and I hope one day you will have 1 Million subscribers 👍🏽
Everyone else: BLJ
Me: Back yeet
I live under a rock
The first thing that pops up in my mind is:
*SO LONG GAY BOWSER*
It's so long ay bowser
Love your videos, found them from that sunshine video that blew up and am in love with the content!!
I really hope your channel blows up, this was a really good video!
Lmao you pronounced the names of the Mexican Brothers horribly
Literally everything else was good tho, subscribed
Another thing he got incorrect was Shindou's pronunciation. You pronounce it as if the u was silent, so "shin-d*oh*", not "shin-d*oo*". It's a pretty common mistake that affects other Japanese stuff too, e.g. people pronouncing Madou Monogatari like "Madoo Monogatari". It's basically like ignoring or barely pronouncing the Us in character names like Josuke Higashigata, Sasuke Uchiha, Zamasu (non-dub), etc.
I’m Mexican bro
Qué onda wey cómo estás soy mexicano

The BLJ sounds like a mix of the BTL sandwich and the PB&J sandwich.
This video is so informative and well-made I would never have guessed you had 900 subscribers. I've subscribed.
Great video dude! Will be checking out more of your content! Keep it up

I mean… it’s fits..?

*Imagine doing the BLJ in the 3D Allstar version, oh wait a sec....*
*Nevermind*
this is the first time the "only a small %" thing actually convinced me to sub, you're an amazing content creator.
Hey man awesome video! Accurate information and you have a good enough understanding of how the physics work to to try explain what’s happening. Die hard fans of video games and Mario like myself love this content!
15:03 that setup was found by both S&G and xandruuuu, but it's not faster than setupless and neither of them found it first.
thank you. this trick was found back in like 2011 iirc and i started working on a setup around 1-2 years ago. i came up with some lineups, and recently salt improved what i had by adding something new to it. lsblj was not discovered by any of us, and i can't say the setup is completely mine or his, it's just something we both separately worked on for a while. (also im saying this for other people seeing this comment, i know you already know all of this lol)
Thank you for the correction
1:06 oh God. I've never seen such a large percentage of viewers not subscribed (I have an excuse for not subscribing: this is the first video I'm watching of this youtuber)
Watch my sunshine vid it is good :)))))))
This is one of the most informative and amazing video I have seen in a long ass while
Really enjoyed your new videos, keep it up. Cozy vibes
Just a quick suggestion, I would suggest that whenever you feature someone else’s footage when playing the game you should at least credit them, just some good for thought, other wise everything else seems to be of quality keep up the great work,and I wish you the best on this endeavor which is CZcams.
Finally you're starting to gain the subscribers you deserve mad man
BLJ: *exists*
Nintendo: "Let's patch this!"
Hyper Speed Wallkicking, Punching, Walking and C-up Sliding: *Allow us to introduce ourselves.*
I been waiting for someone to make a history of blg! You have my respect!
that percent is much smaller than the number of youtubers that mention it +1 sub
Why did Nintendo give us the shindou version? RIP BLJ
yea im dissapointed in nintendo
welp time to download an emulator
This video was very good. I knew a good majority of the history, but I won't forget it because of how you introduced it.
your taste in background music is really good. i appreciate the usage of chrono trigger tracks especially. good game music really helps to set the tone, huh? :D
If this dude can level up his pronunciation/speech he might speedrun being a CZcams speedrun historian!
When I heard about “parallel universes” in terminal montages videos I thought it was just a joke, NOT AN ACTUAL THING. We really pushed the limits huh?
I swear, I had this EXACT SAME THOUGHT
It is a meme, but its also real!
That video was fantastic, thank you! Subscribed.
I can't believe I'm only discovering you now. It's criminal how you aren't more popular. Your videos are unbelievable.
People will remember the DS version... it was legit not possible
I remember trying to do BLJ on Mario 64 DS when I was young
I did even worse. When SM64 came out on the wii virtual console I thought it was a remake of super mario 64 DS and I didn't understand why the graphics were so bad
Did it work?
Baylee T no
@Andrea Botti i assume you were also confused on why Yoshi, Wario, and Luigi weren’t in the game
Mans gotta upload more these are really good videos
Bruv this is so high quality I didnt even know you had 967 subs here is 1 sub for u
I just wanna say I saw this video in my recommendations
The NSO N64 emulator thing allows the BLJ on Mario64
This video was made a year before the announcement of N64 games on Nintendo Switch Online, but yes you are correct
Great video!! Great content man keep it up!
Never have gotten a video this low views in my recommended and it’s really good you earned a sub
2:00 ZA WARUDO
I don’t understand why Nintendo removed the blj from the switch version.
Vers sad.
Because glitches are bad?
Im subbing, I hope your channel grows a lot!
I'll probably never get tired of the BLJ. There's something consistently hilarious about the idea of traveling to parallel universes, at hypersonic speeds, arse first.
Really good vid, also.
Wait BLJ means backwards long jump and not BLow Job?
Lmao
So, the BLJ was first founded by two mexican brothers.
*VIVA MEXICO*
VIVA
MEXICO
Oh
VIVA xDDDD by the way, the comment that said it was mejico (mejico is the pronunciation in Spanish) is wrong, it is actually mexico xDDDD sorry @name xdddd (at least acording to google)
Great video! For a smaller yt I was super impressed by quality
this guys content is so good considering he just started uploading. Keep it up!
Little tip: Everyone knows what the subscribe button does, and people are not going to do it just because you ask them to. Begging like that actually just causes irritation.
People will subscribe because of your content, and only because of that. Make videos people will watch. It's that simple
I hate Nintendo more and more. At first they destroyed Paper Mario, Then Mario Party and now the most speedrunned game of all time (and dont forget about the silly dmca's of fan games)
What
Your videos are great. I subbed
great videos keep them coming they are awesome and btw Chrono trigger music nice touch! favorite RPG ever you have a great taste
