'''Spawning displacement''' is a technique that allows [[Mario]] to receive displacement from a moving platform for one [[frame]] when spawning, hence the name. It is exclusive to the original [[Super Mario 64#Japanese|Japanese version]]. Spawning displacement occurs when Mario exits the level (such as through the pause menu, through death, through a warp, or by getting a star) and ends up standing on a moving object for one frame, whether it be an object from the previous level that was moving and unloaded ("Normal" Spawning Displacement) or an object in the [[The Castle|castle]] that overwrote the object Mario was standing on while exiting the level ("Reverse" Spawning Displacement). In other words, Spawning Displacement occurs when exiting a level while standing on either a moving [[object]] which will not be overwritten by a non-moving object after [[unloading]] or an object which gets overwritten by a moving object after unloading. Spawning displacement results in Mario will be displaced from his typical spawning position.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XL8TCplAaWc "Spawning Displacement" by | '''Spawning displacement''' is a technique that allows [[Mario]] to receive displacement from a moving platform for one [[frame]] when spawning, hence the name.

Mario can utilize spawning displacement to re-enter [[Tick Tock Clock]] without pressing the A button. This is done by standing on a [[spinner]] and collecting a Star. Once the spinner rotates, it displaces Mario to land on the edge of the clock next to the painting, thereby saving the A press needed to enter TTC. This is done twice in the 120 star run, saving two A presses due to the strict requirements only being applicable with two stars: | Mario can utilize spawning displacement to re-enter [[Tick Tock Clock]] without pressing the A button.

Spawning displacement actually would occur on all versions of the game, but the displacement is overwritten before it can have an effect. This happens regardless of what causes the displacement. Simply standing on a moving platform (spawning displacement) has this effect, but so do some other things. | Spawning displacement actually would occur on all versions of the game, but the displacement is overwritten before it can have an effect.

===Teleport Displacement=== | ===Teleport Displacement=== | ||
'''Teleport displacement''' is a different type of platform displacement that is not exclusive to the Japanese version. To perform it, [[clone]] a teleport point near a moving object so that said object will move after Mario has initiated the teleport. As a result, Mario will be displaced from the teleport's destination. Due to these very rare conditions, this can only be performed in [[Wet-Dry World]], since this is the only level in which you can clone a teleporter (via [[loading zone]]) that has a moving platform.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUBtXvvCp-E "Teleport Displacement" by | '''Teleport displacement''' is a different type of platform displacement that is not exclusive to the Japanese version.

'''Platform release displacement''' is displacement that occurs for one frame after releasing a platform. Since platforms cannot normally be held, they must be cloned. Because [[Falling Blocks|falling blocks]] in [[Whomp's Fortress]], [[Big Boo's Haunt]], and [[Bowser in the Fire Sea]] and the octagonal rotating platform in [[Wet-Dry World]] are the only platforms that can be cloned, these are the only ones that can cause platform release displacement. Since this displacement occurs from the new location of the platform, releasing it remotely at the [[HOLP]] can cause a very large displacement, which can even cause Mario to enter a [[Parallel Universe#Vertical Parallel Universes|vertical PU]]<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_gELy37HHc "Going to a vertical PU in WF" by Timestoppa]</ref>. | '''Platform release displacement''' is displacement that occurs for one frame after releasing a platform.
