The term breezeless was coined from a new trick that was faster than an existing trick. In the mission [[Mysterious Mountainside]], the star is located in a hole. Players found out that Mario could skip the slide by jumping directly into the hole from above. The optimal route was to head left to the thin ledge, and use the breeze to get up, then jump down. Later, it was discovered that Mario could perform a [[Triple Jump|triple jump]], wall kick and ground pound to reach the hole, which was faster than using the breeze. This new trick meant the breeze wasn't needed, hence the name. | The term breezeless was coined from a new trick that was faster than an existing trick.

Cannonless or “Cless” for short is a term used for a speedrunning strategy that bypasses the need for a cannon. | |||
===Whomp’s Fortress=== | |||
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=== | |||
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 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. | 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.
