The '''Backwards Long Jump''', or '''BLJ''' for short, is one of the most well-known and versatile methods of gaining [[Hyperspeed]], whereby Mario's backwards speed can increase under certain conditions during a backwards-facing [[Long Jump]]. | The '''Backwards Long Jump''', or '''BLJ''' for short, is one of the most well-known and versatile methods of gaining [[Hyperspeed]], whereby Mario's backwards speed can increase under certain conditions during a backwards-facing [[Long Jump]]. | ||
This [[Glitch|glitch]] is caused by the lack of a negative limit on Mario's speed. The first frame of a Long Jump multiplies Mario's forward velocity by 1.5, and although the game keeps this velocity below 48.0, no corresponding negative cap is enforced. Since Mario's speed is slowed due to drag each frame he is in the air, this multiplier does not affect typical gameplay. However, if Mario is in a position where he can perform many backwards-facing Long Jumps in rapid succession, he can repeatedly reduce his speed while overcoming drag, resulting in negative Hyperspeed | This [[Glitch|glitch]] is caused by the lack of a negative limit on Mario's speed.

BLJs can be performed on [[List of Major BLJ Locations|many slopes, stairways, and obstacles]], making it useful for [[Speedrun|speedruns]] and [[Challenge|challenges]] alike. | BLJs can be performed on [[List of Major BLJ Locations|many slopes, stairways, and obstacles]], making it useful for [[Speedrun|speedruns]] and [[Challenge|challenges]] alike. | ||
Among other glitches, BLJs were fixed in the [[Super Mario 64#Shindou|Shindou]] version | Among other glitches, BLJs were fixed in the [[Super Mario 64#Shindou|Shindou]] version. This also means that they do not work on any Japanese [[Virtual Console]] releases, 3D All Stars, nor the [[Super Mario 64 (iQue)|iQue]]. | ||
