A Crash, Freeze, 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, where the game does still run but is stuck in an indefinite state or a loop where no controller input can change it.

Ways to crash the game

  • Exceed the object limit
  • Have too many objects at once on the screen
  • Send the camera into a PU on N64
  • Bully Knockback dividing-by-zero
  • Failed Bully/Bob-omb angle double-to-int conversion
  • Deleting a non-existent file on the File Select Screen. (Go to "Copy" right when you get to the file select, then press "Score", press on any file without save data, go to Erase, and click on yes.)
  • Moving a shadow above surface 12 while it's over OOB
  • Killing a Monty Mole remotely
  • Killing an uninitialized Monty Mole
  • Going out of bounds in a room with a painting
  • Being pushed off of a hangable ceiling while in the idle hanging action
