HOLP

Revision as of 13:46, 28 June 2024 by Oliver (talk | contribs) (In looking up the HOLP technique, I came across the orginal video of the creation of the technique starting with Sonicwiifan using it to transport lots of bombs to single area so they exploded together. Then PannenKoek2012 finishing of the technique by figuring out how it worked, so it could be heavily used for transporting other things and manipulation of where the Holp ended up.)

The HOLP Technique was originally created by Sonicwiifan[1] and Pannenkoek2012[2].

The HOLP, short for Held Object's Last Position, represents the coordinates at which the object Mario held last was last rendered. The HOLP is not reset when changing courses or files, but is reset to the origin ([0, 0, 0]) when starting the game. When released, objects are re-activated and placed at the HOLP, which is usually in front of Mario. However, if the object was not rendered while being held by Mario, the HOLP would not update during that time, so the object won't appear in front of Mario. A similar effect can be observed with the anchor point when executing a Chuckya Wrong Throw.


The HOLP is specifically not updated when-

Effect on Objects

When an object is thrown, it will appear at the HOLP. When an object is dropped, it will appear at the HOLP laterally (i.e. share the HOLP's X and Z values) but will be at Mario's height (i.e. it will share his Y value). The exception to this is Bowser, who will always appear directly in front of Mario regardless of the HOLP.
