Spawning displacement: Difference between revisions

'''Spawning displacement''' is a technique that allows [[Mario]] to receive displacement from a moving platform for one [[frame]] when spawning, hence the name. It is exclusive to the original [[Super Mario 64#Japanese|Japanese version]]. Spawning displacement occurs when Mario exits the level (such as through the pause menu, through death, through a warp, or by getting a star) and ends up standing on a moving object for one frame, whether it be an object from the previous level that was moving and unloaded ("Normal" Spawning Displacement) or an object in the [[The Castle|castle]] that overwrote the object Mario was standing on while exiting the level ("Reverse" Spawning Displacement). In other words, Spawning Displacement occurs when exiting a level while standing on either a moving [[object]] which will not be overwritten by a non-moving object after [[unloading]] or an object which gets overwritten by a moving object after unloading. Spawning displacement results in Mario will be displaced from his typical spawning position.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XL8TCplAaWc "Spawning Displacement" by UncommentatedPannen]</ref>

Mario can utilize spawning displacement to re-enter [[Tick Tock Clock]] without pressing the A button. This is done by standing on a [[spinner]] and collecting a Star. Once the spinner rotates, it displaces Mario to land on the edge of the clock next to the painting, thereby saving the A press needed to enter TTC. This is done twice in the 120 star run, saving two A presses due to the strict requirements only being applicable with two stars:
