A '''softlock''' is an unwanted event that can happen to speedrunners where triggers and events are hit out of order, causing the games script to break completely, and further game progression to be impossible. Super Mario 64 is one of them aswell. Even tho they can only be caused most with [[TAS]], they can also occur in Super Mario 64 ROM Hacks.
A '''softlock''' occurs when the game is put into a state where, though it has not [[Crash|crashed]] or ceased functioning, there is no way to progress without resetting the console.
