SM64 SpeedTAS Encyclopedia Current Entry Count: 64 TODO: ADD EXAMPLES OF SITUATIONS IN WHICH THESE TRICKS COULD BE ADVANTAGEOUS


• Optimal Speedkick If Mario’s angle and the camera are aligned with a cardinal axis of the joystick, then dropping down to 54 magnitude for a speedkick is optimal. Now, however, it's much better to just use the built-in speedkick function included in the Input Direction Lua.

• Buffered Jumpkick If you hold A either before the first frame that Mario is able to move, or, if landing from the air, before the landing action has started, then you can (while still holding A) press B to do a buffered jumpkick. If starting from idle, this allows you to choose an arbitrary angle to jumpkick with. Note: a normal jumpkick (where you press A and B on the same frame, or press B after A) does not allow you to choose an arbitrary angle from idle.

• Punch Cancel

• Quickstop When Mario is in a landing action on most surfaces, it will take 4 frames for him to come to a complete stop if you have no joystick input. After Mario has reached 0 speed, holding a very low magnitude on the joystick (12 or less, approximately) for 1 frame and then returning to neutral will allow him to enter the idle action very quickly. If you have any joystick input on the first 3 frames of a landing action, then you will maintain more speed (or lose more speed, if your speed is neagtive) throughout the action. You can still do a quickstop if you hold return to neutral on the 4th frame. Additionally, holding a low joystick magnitude for 2 frames after Mario has 0 speed will also allow him to enter an idle action as long as you return to neutral on the next frame. If you are entering a warp, then you can save time by returning to neutral and pressing Z after holding a low joystick magnitude for 1 frame. This will allow you to stop 1 frame sooner than you would if you did a regular quickstop. Note: on some slopes, it's possible to do a "1 frame quickstop," in which you only have to hold a low joystick magnitude for 1 frame before you can enter idle. As a general rule, if you're landing on any kind of slope, it's worth seeing if a 1 frame quickstop is possible.

• Quickturn Once you enter the idle action of a quickstop, you then have a number of options for changing direction quickly. Bufferedjumpkicks, walking at full magnitude with an arbitrary angle, punching off a ledge (usually to start dive grinding), or, in some rarer cases on very steep slopes, crouch sliding, can all be efficient ways to change direction after a quickstop.

• C-up/C^ Sliding On certain slope types, (// TODO: SPECIFY DIFFERENT SLOPE TYPES AND EFFECTS) either entering the C-up camera mode 1 frame before walking onto the slope, or, after landing on the slope within the correct angle range, walking for 1 frame on the slope will Mario to begin accelerating/decelerating. If you want to activate C-up sliding after landing *on* a slope, then you must be pressing the C-up button on the frame you land. Keep in mind that, no matter how you activate the C-up slide, it will only initiate 1 frame after you press the button. Also, if your speed isn't activated in some way after the C-up slide is over, you will have to activate it yourself. The exact method of doing so will depend on the situation, but most regular speed-preserving actions will suffice.

• C-up/C^ Jump & Jumpdive

TODO

• C-up/C^ Reflection

TODO

• C-up/C^ Backflip While in the idle action, if you enter the C-up camera mode and press Z, you can choose an arbitrary joystick angle thatMario will crouch at. You can then press A to perform a backflip. This kind of quick backflip is useful in some situations, like grabbing a closeby star above a platform you just ledgegrabbed onto.
