    The tactic was discovered by Super Mario 64 speedrunner Alexpalix, and involves grabbing large penguin located nearby and using it to glitch through the hut’s invisible collision barrier which prevents you from touching the door.

    Incorrect grammar and wrong at the same time! You grab the small penguin to lure the large one where you need it to be.

      + the collision is much less of a problem, the issue was that even if you clipped through you had to be in the walking state to open the door (you could clip through before!)

      This new tactic involves doing a turnaround, after which for ~1 frame you enter the walking state in midair, allowing you to open the door after being pushed through by the penguin at the right time.

    Didn’t use a romhack but they used a glitch using the large mama penguin to clip through the barrier blocking them from accessing the door.

      I’m sure the YouTuber meant well and did a deep dive, but without your timestamp, it would take the viewer 5 minutes before getting to the answer.

      Where I can literally skimmed a article in 15 seconds.

      Unfortunately this article sucks and doesn’t even explain it.

        What’s wrong with pannenkoek? Am I out of the loop? I’ve watched a couple of his videos and they were interesting deep dives into SM64.

          Sorry for the vagueness. Pannenkoek is like the authority on weird Mario 64 quirks, and makes excellent videos. As soon as you see that name, there’s no need to keep reading – just go watch the video.

          Like, this article could have been one sentence: “New Pannenkoek vid just dropped: [link]”

    I never thought about it til now, but is it possible to just use a baby penguin to mips clip through? Or is mips (or that specific door) functionally different somehow? What happens if you try?

      I would recommend going and watching the pannenkoek video because it is so good.
      The quick version is that it has been known to be possible to clip through the wall to get to the door, but Mario has to be in the walking state to open it. Since the floor directly under the door hitbox is all covered by wall, and the part that isn’t covered by wall doesn’t have a floor directly below it, it seems like there’s no way to actually be in the walking state to open it.
      However, by abusing an exploit where Mario finishes his turn around animation the same frame he leaves the ground, the transition to the freefall state is overwritten by the transition to the walking state; this lasts one frame until a check is run next frame — which properly puts him in freefall. Timing the turn around right lets you be past the wall and walking, so you can open the door.

      It’s not a real door to the inside of the slide area. It’s a door that triggers loading a new area. And there’s no floor on the other side of it. So if you got the baby penguin to the other side, it’d just fall to its doom. And if you still managed to mips clip, so would you.
