A '''Freeze''' or '''Hardlock '''is the event of [[Super Mario 64]] becoming permanently ''freezed'' ''and'' ''Irresponsive ''to the player commands or actions, forcing the player to reset the console/emulator.
A '''Freeze''', '''Crash''', or '''Hardlock''' is what happens when [[Super Mario 64]]'s code encounters an error, such as a division-by-zero, that causes the game to stop running and rendering frames. The audio may still play. This is in contrast to a [[Softlock|softlock]], where the game does still run but is stuck in an indefinite state or a loop where no controller input can change it.
