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] Super Mario 64 - Blast to the Stone Pillar in 11"23" by dar gos</nowiki>]</ref> | 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.

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> | 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> For many years, it was unused, as its extreme difficulty made it seem unviable in a 120 star run. This trick in its first form which seemed possibly RTA viable was originally 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. | ||
In mid 2015, 2 players | In mid 2015, 2 players, snowman and toadfan5, attempted to do this trick in real time using savestates. Eventually, toadfan successfully did it, making them 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 carpetless came in 2019, when Xiah was able to complete it after 2 weeks of grinding.<ref>[https://youtu.be/cjcD0qzkgcw <nowiki>"Super Mario 64 - The Big House In The Sky "Carpetless" 50"71 [UWR]" by Xiah7s</nowiki>]</ref> This achievement re-ignited hope that this trick could one day be used in a 120 star run, but it still was deemed too difficult to perform. There have only been 5 people to ever do this trick using this method: Xiah, Mikko<ref>[https://youtu.be/sbhdF2KKjtI "SM64 The Big House in the Sky in 53'05 Carpetless" by Mikko]</ref>, Shake<ref>[https://youtu.be/4y89piiYYj4 "Super Mario 64 - The Big House in the Sky 44"37 (42"90 IGT)" by Shake]</ref>, TaylorSwiftSimp<ref>"[https://youtu.be/emg3G39WUp4 Super Mario 64 - The Big House in the Sky "Carpetless" in 42"99 (41"66 igt) OLD WR" by TaylorSwiftSimp]</ref>, and Parsee<ref>[https://youtu.be/EKq4x6DT-N0 "Super Mario 64 - The Big House in the Sky 41"62 (40"23 IGT)" by Parsee]</ref>. | ||
Parsee became remarkably consistent with carpetless, performing it many times, including in the first stage RTA world records with it<ref>"[https://youtu.be/BgUwoo3vfMY RRワンステ 4:53.99 (with carpetless)" by Parsee]</ref>. Eventually, they believed carpetless may be viable for 120, and even got it after 10 minutes in a run<ref>[https://x.com/Parsee02/status/1703449072370319705 Tweet about getting bob-omb carpetless in 120 after 10 minutes by Parsee]</ref>. | |||
On Sept. 17th, 2023, a new RTA viable method for carpetless was found by the TASer Krithalith<ref>[https://youtu.be/4b18D4YPcJU <nowiki>"Carpetless Setup [SM64]" by Krithalith</nowiki>]</ref>. A setup—based on timing several frame-perfect inputs—was created for the current [[Backwards Long Jump|BLJ]]<nowiki/>less/Shindou TAS carpetless strategy, with a slight change. The strategy involves using the teleporter to get to the Big House, traveling up the blue glass blocks, and getting onto the House's window. Two [[Glitchy Wall Kick|glitchy wall kicks]] are then used to land onto one of the corner's spires, which can then be scaled by jumping up the slope from a buttslide. Krithalith realized that with a small range of angles, just holding right after the second glitchy wall kick will have Mario land uphill enough on the slope to be able to kick up it. This is much less precise, because it takes 5 frames to jump out of a buttslide, but a kick can happen immediately. The setup was very difficult, however many top runners were able to perform the setup. The setup seemed to many to have a real chance of being implemented in a 120 star world record. This became solidified with the "Orthogonal Jones" setup, released the following day<ref>[https://youtu.be/hbPAJ_OrT28 <nowiki>"Carpetless Setup: Orthogonal Jones [SM64]" by Krithalith</nowiki>]</ref>. The key factor that made this setup viable was use of only cardinal joystick angles, which have a range of joystick angles that all result in exactly straight angles, due to Super Mario 64's deadzone. The original setup used a perfect down-right diagonal, which requires an exact angle. Another key element increasing the setup's viability for 120 was the Orthogonal Jones dictionary, which lists every valid setup for every frame of wall kick on the second glitchy wall kick<ref>[https://youtu.be/f5QAiKsVbH0 "Carpetless Orthogonal Jones Setup Dictionary HD" by Krithalith]</ref>. Carpetless was first used in a world record by Puncayshun<ref>[https://youtu.be/kdKFyHPXdfY "First 120 Star World Record Carpetless Speedrun" by Puncayshun]</ref>, and has been in every world record since. | |||
==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. | Lakitu Bounce, in speedrunning context, is a trick Mario uses to in [[Rainbow Ride]] to reach the ship faster.

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. | 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.
