In the mission [[Behind Chain Chomp's Gate]], players can use a [[Bob-omb|bloated bob omb]] to clip through the gate. This is faster than ground pounding, and doesn't trigger a cutscene.

==Breezeless==
==Breezeless==
The term breezeless was coined from a new trick that was faster than an existing trick. In the mission [[Mysterious Mountainside]], the star is located in a hole. Players found out that Mario could skip the slide by jumping directly into the hole from above. The optimal route was to head left to the thing ledge, and use the breeze to get up, then jump down. Later, it was discovered that Mario could perform a [[Triple Jump|triple jump]], wall kick and ground pound to reach the hole, which was faster than using the breeze. This new trick meant the breeze wasn't needed, hence the name.

Players found out that Mario could skip the slide by jumping directly into the hole from above. The optimal route was to head left to the thin ledge, and use the breeze to get up, then jump down. Later, it was discovered that Mario could perform a [[Triple Jump|triple jump]], wall kick and ground pound to reach the hole, which was faster than using the breeze. This new trick meant the breeze wasn't needed, hence the name.
 
==Carpetless==
==Carpetless==
Carpetless is a trick in the star [[The Big House in the Sky]] which saves roughly 50 seconds off of the mission.<ref>[https://youtu.be/ge_tXp3Qc-Y "Why This 1 Minute Time Save Won’t Be Used in SM64 Speedruns" by EZScape]</ref> It is unused, however as its extreme difficulty makes it unviable in a 120 star run. This trick was first done in the [[120 Stars (Shindou Edition)|Shindou Edition 120 Star TAS]]. Mario first heads to the ship and grabs a bloated bob omb. He then drops it at the platform on the other side of the plank. Mario then regrabs it while falling off the edge, causing the bob-omb's fuse to stop and for Mario to hold it hands free. He then navigates through the glass boxes, ground pounding to prevent him from walking. Once he reaches the warp, Mario the does 2 sideflips across the glass boxes and then sideflips to the castle wall, performs 2 [[Glitchy Wall Kick|glitchy wall kicks]], and ground pounds, reaching the roof. Many speculated that this trick could potentially be done RTA.
