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.

Current Known Softlocks in Super Mario 64

Getting MIPS into one of the paintings.
Hitting Chain Chomp During a Cutscene (or Chain Chomp not being able to break gate and escape out of his position).
Heave Ho heaves you while you're underwater.
