There is a corner of Big Boo's Haunt that crashes the game when Mario touches it. The corner is located through the rightmost door on the first floor. Head past the window with light shining through it (with a [[Boo]]) and stand on the tiny ledge located to the left. Press the {{button|n64|A}} button and move Mario slightly backwards with {{button|n64|Stickdown}}. After Mario falls for a little bit press {{button|n64|Stickup}} forwards and push the {{button|n64|B}} button to kick for some horizontal movement. If the player is lucky all should work and Mario will freeze in the air | There is a corner of Big Boo's Haunt that crashes the game when Mario touches it.

A possible reason the game freezes is that Mario is touching a wall or a barrier with an undefined or removed collision pointer. <ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YjXxkwR6MxU Youtube video of BBH Crash]</ref> | ||

There are certain spots in the world of Super Mario 64 where the speed of Mario will increase without limit just by standing in that place. These spots work in a very similar way to the Backwards Long Jump. Presumably if Mario stood in that place for too long it would overflow the memory and the game would crash (but this has not been tested).

It seems these spots work because the game is putting Mario in a sliding position (and thus the game increases Mario's backwards velocity) but Mario is in the water and thus (see Conservation of Velocity) he is unaffected by land velocity. It seems this glitch can move out of bounds so far that it no longer kills him instantly. This glitch works in the Shindou Edition. | It seems these spots work because the game is putting Mario in a sliding position (and thus the game increases Mario's backwards velocity) but Mario is in the water and thus (see Conservation of Velocity) he is unaffected by land velocity.

If Mario hits the bottom right book, left middle book, and top center book, in that order, there is a possibility this glitch will occur.(The exact method needs to be investigated.) The jingle that indicates that Mario entered the right code should play but a book should fly out of the wall indicating Mario entered the wrong code. The bookshelf will not move and the books will not pop out and allow the player to try again. This glitch can be fixed by exiting the level and entering again.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-yDD1OhLPk Youtube video of Broken Bookshelf]</ref> | ||

It appears the programmers gave this Bob-omb special properties to keep it moving in place so as to appear to be controlling the cannon but unintentionally created a glitch through this change of behavior. | ||

It is highly unusual behavior and the reason it happens appears to be that the physics engine of Mario 64 has several bugs that instantly affect the position of Mario. The known places where this happens are: | ||

It is | *In [[Hazy Maze Cave]], the by walking forward into the left side of the sign that tells Mario how to climb located at the emergency exit of the Toxic Cave. It almost looks like Mario is just clipping through the sign rather than getting teleported to the opposite side, but since this cannot be ascertained it is listed here. | ||

*In [[Whomp's Fortress]], it can be done with the water box. Normally Mario can not enter the area where it is position from underneath because of invisible walls blocking it(the programmers were aware of it being possible). However, not all of the water box is blocked with invisible walls. The player should position Mario a the top left corner where the wall with the pool above it and the fence meet at the start of the course. Mario should then be positioned outward and downward (facing left and down). The player should then make Mario jump, move slightly to the left to get over the fence, push to the right and backwards while pressing the {button|n64|B} button to kick for decreased falling speed. Mario then will be teleported upward and pushed out of the water. | |||
