In [[Whomp’s Fortress]] players can get the star [[Blast Away the Wall]] by shooting out of the cannon and breaking the wall open, revealing the star. Players then found it was possible to clip into the wall by grabbing the ledge that the star rests on. A couple years later, there was a setup found that allowed the player to get the star consistently rather then blindly running at the wall. The no setup cannonless is called “OG Canonless” Then, another optimization was found that let the player look for a texture on the plank and use that instead dubbed “Texture Setup”.

===Jolly Roger Bay===
===Jolly Roger Bay===
In [[Jolly Roger Bay]] the star [[Blast to the Stone Pillar]] is obtained by shooting out of a cannon and grabbing a pole and jumping onto a platform. Then, players realized you could shoot directly to the platform and skip grabbing the pole. If you shoot very quickly, you can get what is known as “Insta-Shot”. Players had another realization in the fact you can long jump off the ship and then wall kick to get to the star platform. Finally, it was found you can use [[Frame Walking]] to scale the stone pillar and get the star that way. The TAS uses a [[Backwards Long Jump]] to get up here.<ref>[https://youtu.be/HE4HPSwPvEM "<nowiki>[TAS]</nowiki> Super Mario 64 - Blast to the Stone Pillar in 11"23" by dar gos]</ref>

==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.

In mid 2015, 2 players by the name of snowman and toadfan5 attempted to do this trick in real time using savestates. Eventually, toadfan successfully did it, making the first to do carpetless RTA with the help of savestates.<ref>[https://youtu.be/gcRN195iS1w "Big House in the Sky carpetless on console!" by toadfan5]</ref> This achievement further implied that this trick could be done RTA. The first full completion of this trick came in 2019 when Xiah was able to complete it after 2 weeks of grinding.<ref>[https://youtu.be/cjcD0qzkgcw "Super Mario 64 - The Big House In The Sky "Carpetless" 50"71 <nowiki>[UWR]</nowiki>" by Xiah7s]</ref> This achievement re-ignited hope that this trick could one day be used in a 120 star run, but currently, it is still too difficult to perform. There have only been 2 people to ever do this trick: Xiah and Mikko<ref>[https://youtu.be/sbhdF2KKjtI "SM64 The Big House in the Sky in 53'05 Carpetless" by Mikko]</ref>.

==Lakitu Bounce==
==Lakitu Bounce==
Lakitu Bounce, in speedrunning context, is a trick Mario uses to in [[Rainbow Ride]] to reach the ship faster. It is done by triple jumping on the rotating octagons, wall kicking off of the side of the wooden ramp, and bouncing off the lakitu to get onto the ramp. From there, Mario can reach the ship quickly by climbing the pole and traversing the blue blocks. This trick is notorious for its difficulty, as it's very precise and needs to be done twice very late into a run.

==Owlless==
==Owlless==
Owlless is a trick used in the mission [[Fall onto the Caged Island]] that skips using the owl. Players first head to the rotating platform, and then [[Triple Jump|triple jump]] and wall kick into the cage. Although it is faster to [[Sideflip|sideflip]] instead of triple jump, it is much more difficult to execute.

==Pillarless==
==Pillarless==
Pillarless is a [[Bob-omb|bloated bob-omb]] trick in [[Shifting Sand Land]] that gets the player into the pyramid from the upper entrance without using the pillars, as the name suggests. This is used for [[Inside the Ancient Pyramid]] and [[Pyramid Puzzle]]. It is done by grabbing a bloated bob omb, holding it hands free, and then travelling up the pyramid and clipping through the entrance. This trick in considered very difficult to perform.

==Ship Clip==
==Ship Clip==
The ship clip is used in [[Jolly Roger Bay]] to get into the sunken ship without luring the eel out, a time consuming maneuver. By swimming into the corner of the ship, [[Mario]] can clip through and enter the warp behind the eel.

==Sicko Kick==
==Sicko Kick==
The Sicko Kick is performed in the cave section of [[Tiny Huge Island]]'s 100 Coin Star, during the jump to the platform with the blue coin switch. The (much) safer way to cross this gap is with a double-jump, but there is a very short window wherein a jump kick is sufficient.

==Side Kick==
==Side Kick==
In the stage [[Lethal Lava Land]] the star [[Red-Hot Log Rolling]] can be obtained by going around a small obstacle course and getting to it with the rolling logs. Players eventually found you can just triple jump from the stone archway at the beginning of the level and fly over the gate blocking you from the star. Eventually, players found that there is a platform near the gate in which if you do a triple jump and then a wall kick, you can get on top of said fence and then get the star like that which was faster and didn't require the wing cap.
