The normal '''framerate''' of [[Super Mario 64]] is 30 FPS, meaning that 30 frames are rendered on-screen in a single second, but lag can decrease this frequency. Later games have largely adopted a 60 FPS framerate. | ||

This is unlikely to cause issues in [[RTA|real-time gameplay]], but it can prove problematic in [[TAS|tool-assisted speedrunning]]. Pausing the game will separate these frames without changing any in-game states. | ||
A variable called the [[global timer]] increases by 1 on every frame. Some events occur depending on the parity of the global timer, or depending on other functions such as trigonometric calculations, so [[pause buffering]] can be used to alter the state of the game. | A variable called the [[global timer]] increases by 1 on every frame.
