Cannonless: Difference between revisions

In [[Whomp’s Fortress]], players normally obtain the star [[Blast Away the Wall]] by shooting out of the cannon and breaking the corner of the wall, revealing the star. Eventually, players found it was possible to clip into the wall by ledge-grabbing the exposed ledge that the star rests on. Several years later, however, glitcher Sockfolder discovered an easy setup that allowed the player to get the star consistently rather than blindly running at the wall. This setup was dubbed the "Sockfolder setup." Subsequently, another optimization was found that required the player to look along a wooden plank and find a certain line in the texture. This setup is nearly as consistent as the Sockfolder setup if executed correctly. This new, faster setup was called "Texture setup."

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>
