a super mario 64 speedrunner has finally found a way to obtain the impossible 1up without throwing mario into the void afterwards its only taken 27 years yes it has been that long since super mario 64 was released but one very dedicated speedrunner has managed what was previously thought was impossible youtuber palix has shared footage of them obtaining the 1up mushroom found in the cool cool mountain slide level of the nintendo 64 game as explained in the videos description in the slide shortcut in the cool cool mountain level of super mario 64 theres a 1up mushroom that clips out of the tunnel before players can reach it there was a way to get the tricky power up but no way to survive the rest of the level as mario needed to throw himself off of the slide and into the depths to catch the 1up that is until now anyway in palix s video which can be seen below the speedrunner immediately throws mario beyond the games level and lets him free fall to the finish line of the course its here where the youtubers patience must have been tested as they needed mario to wall jump several times over a period of an hour and a half thats an hour and a halfs worth of whoop yah hoo from the nintendo mascot i can still hear it well after watching the videoif you manage to withstand the hour and a half of wall jumping though super mario 64 will then glitch and allow the player to position mario in the perfect place to grab the 1up and finish the race its important to note though that as the videos title explains this was a toolassisted speedrun so its still not clear if this is able to be done without any assistance this doesnt take away from how impressive this almost 30yearlong achievement is though as demonstrated by the comments of this reddit post and the comments of palix s video fellow super mario 64 fans are just as amazed by what the speedrunner has managed to achieve take a look at our upcoming switch games list to find out what we can look forward to playing in the near future
