The reason Mario can pass through walls while doing these glitches has to do with a float point error, where Mario's next position according to his velocity is calculated to be past the wall. | ||

The player must go to any set of long stairs, then face the stairs and turn around, so Mario is facing away from the stairs. Now, the player performs a long jump. As soon as Mario jumps, they must hold backwards on the control stick. After they land, the player should rapidly tap the {{button|n64|A}} button and after a while, Mario should start zooming backwards at very high speeds, usually going through walls and doors.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHvXUeisefw YouTube video showing how to Backwards Long Jump]</ref> This is most famously used to get to the top of the Endless Stairs in [[Princess Peach's Castle]].<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEBxIH08Fpo YouTube video of Backwards Long Jump]</ref> Normally, the game can register how fast Mario can normally move, and teleport Mario to a lower section before he can reach the top of the stairs.

This prevents him from accessing the door without the required 70 Power Stars. However when the Backwards Long Jump is performed, Mario can build up a lot of backwards velocity, and the game does not teleport Mario properly because he reached the top too quickly. This is also the way Mario can go through walls. This glitch can do a lot of things. It can make the player complete the game with no stars and can access the "Black Room of Death". | ||
This glitch also works with elevators and similar platforms. The player executes the glitch in the same way, but if they stop tapping {{button|n64|A}} while the wall is still behind Mario, he starts to run backwards very fast as soon as the player holds the control stick in a different direction. If the player doesn't stop tapping {{button|n64|A}} and has reached the top, Mario will teleport somewhere behind him (depending on what speed he gained while jumping onto the platform). | This glitch also works with elevators and similar platforms.

The glitch was also fixed in [[Super Mario 64 DS|the DS remake]] as if when Mario attempts a backwards long jump, the camera will go behind Mario, making him do a normal long jump. | ||

Mario gains speed every time he bounces off the wall if the move was executed perfectly (frame-perfect. This can be used to produce results similar to the Backwards Long Jump glitch, but is impossible to execute without tool-assistance.<ref>bobmario's video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Vlh0CA_aBwQ</ref> | ||
