=== | ===Scuttlebug Raising=== | ||
When a scuttlebug spots Mario, it turns towards him and lunges forward slightly. However, if the scuttlebug is deactivated during the lunge, the scuttlebug cannot fall down until it is reactivated. Upon spotting Mario and being reactivated, the scuttlebug will begin another lunge while still in the air from the previous lunge. By carefully moving back and forth in an area where the scuttlebug can be deactivated and reactivated, these lunges can be chained together so that the scuttlebug will gain arbitrary height in the air. This is notably used in the star [[Watch for Rolling Rocks]] in order to get to the high platform where the star is located.<ref>[https://youtu.be/kpk2tdsPh0A?t=299 <nowiki>"SM64 - Watch for Rolling Rocks - 0.5x A Presses (Commentated) [OUTDATED]" by pannenkoek2012</nowiki>]</ref> | |||

Scuttlebugs can normally only move within a certain range around their homes. However, when a scuttlebug hits Mario, his home because the point of interaction.

===Fly Guy Manipulation=== | ===Fly Guy Manipulation=== | ||
Fly Guys have two states, one where they will chase Mario, and one where they will return to their home. This state changes depending on how close the fly guy is to Mario laterally, the fly guy's height above Mario, and the angle between Mario and the fly guy. If a fly guy is far enough above Mario and facing him, the fly guy will be put in the state of chasing Mario, even if the fly guy is not active. By moving above the fly guy with careful timing, the fly guy will begin the action of lunging. If the fly guy is spinning while in the chasing Mario state, moving above the fly guy will make the fly guy stop spinning but activate its lunging action. In this way, the fly guy can be made to lunge toward Mario from wherever it currently is located. <ref>[https://youtu.be/vY7nNNT9qCo "How to Manipulate Fly Guy" by UncommentatedPannen]</ref> | |||
===Fly Guy Size Manipulation=== | |||
When a fly guy is preparing to shoot fire at Mario, the fly guy will grow slightly, then shrink slightly before firing. However, by moving out of the fly guy's angle of fire repeatedly, the fly guy can be made to shrink infinitely, since the fly guy will shrink slightly more than it grows each time the firing timer is reset.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHd8TSf2tds "Fly Guy Size Manipulation" by UncommentatedPannen]</ref> | |||
