After selecting the [[Footrace with Koopa the Quick|second mission]] in [[Bob-omb Battlefield]], the player should talk to [[Koopa the Quick]] while wearing the [[Wing Cap]]. While racing him up the mountain, the player must use a small alcove to [[warp]] higher up the mountain; the Wing Cap will seemingly disappear, after which the player should reach the flag at the summit and wait for Koopa the Quick to arrive. After talking to Koopa the Quick, the Wing Cap background music plays endlessly. Alternatively, the player can talk to [[King Bob-omb]] while wearing the Wing Cap, and then quickly warp using the alcove near the summit, achieving the same effect.<ref>[ | After selecting the [[Footrace with Koopa the Quick|second mission]] in [[Bob-omb Battlefield]], the player should talk to [[Koopa the Quick]] while wearing the [[Wing Cap]].

A '''black room of death''' ('''BRoD''' for short) refers to the spaces behind doors in the [[Peach's Castle]], which are only meant for Mario to walk into during the animation where he opens the door. Nonetheless, certain exploits allow Mario to reach these spaces. Once inside these spaces, attempting to open the door will put Mario in the corresponding BRoD at the other side. Depending on the collision around the "rooms" in each loaded area, he may or may not be able to escape. | A '''black room of death''' ('''BRoD''' for short) refers to the spaces behind doors in the [[Peach's Castle]], which are only meant for Mario to walk into during the animation where he opens the door.

*After collecting all 120 Power Stars and being outside the castle, the player can use the [[cannon]] near the castle's moat to shoot Mario up on top of the castle's roof, where he must locate the [[Wing Cap]]. Mario must use it to fly back to the cannon and then shoot himself back out of it again, this time aiming towards the flagpole at the top of the castle's tower. If done correctly, the targeting reticle of the cannon should be able to go no higher when aimed upwards. Once launched, the player has to steer Mario towards the second rooftop area on the side of the tower with the window. Mario must run into the middle part of the wall here, and then jump when he hits the wall (while simultaneously holding the control stick forward). This may take a while, but Mario should eventually go through the wall of the tower and end up behind the castle's front doors in a black room of death. There is a glitch similar to this one in the [[Super Mario 64 DS|DS remake]]. | *After collecting all 120 Power Stars and being outside the castle, the player can use the [[cannon]] near the castle's moat to shoot Mario up on top of the castle's roof, where he must locate the [[Wing Cap]].

{{hover|With one exception|Mario's position is not divided into quarter frames while he swims.}}, the game splits up each frame of movement into four "quarter frames"; for each quarter frame, the game checks for collisions by determining Mario's next position based on his velocity and seeing if it overlaps with anything. Notably the game does adjust for how fast Mario is going, so an exceptionally large speed will have large gaps between each position that is checked. These walls are typically not very wide, so with high enough speed Mario's position will never be inside the wall on a given quarter frame, effectively bypassing the wall.<ref name="CollisionOverview 1"/> | {{hover|With one exception|Mario's position is not divided into quarter frames while he swims.}}, the game splits up each frame of movement into four "quarter frames"; for each quarter frame, the game checks for collisions by determining Mario's next position based on his velocity and seeing if it overlaps with anything.

However when the backwards long jump is repeated in quick succession, Mario can reach enough speed to bypass the trigger that creates the illusion of the endless stairs. This same principle allows Mario to breach walls. | ||

However, if the heavy enemy and Mario stand positioned close to a ledge, the player can punch {{button|N64|B}} such that Mario falls off the ledge immediately. Because Mario is airborne he can perform a dive {{button|N64|B}} and grab the heavy enemy. Normally a dive cannot be used to grab heavy objects, however canceling the punch and quickly diving tricks the game since Mario satisfied the punching check and was in a grabbing state. Because dives are not meant to be used in this way, Mario defaults to holding the object as normal.<ref>[https://youtu.be/oZ12n5mdAJA Make Heavy Objects Lightweight via edge Tutorial by UncommentatedPannen]</ref> | ||

*In the large version of Tiny-Huge Island where iron balls roll, there is a line of four coins spawned by one [[Spawning Point]]. This particular spawning point is meant to create 5 coins that are set down to the nearest floor. The fifth coin is spawned halfway inside the ground due to the spawner being located beneath the slope, activating a failsafe which immediately unloads the coin. This makes the fifth coin impossible to collect. | *In the large version of Tiny-Huge Island where iron balls roll, there is a line of four coins spawned by one [[Spawning Point]].

'''NOTE''': The reason for both of Tiny-Huge Island's misplaced coins is believed to be a change of the level geometry during development to make the iron balls roll away from the fenced area, without adjusting the positions of the coins and coin spawner to compensate.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPILIf7ru48 YouTube video about the impossible coin on THI's big island]</ref> | '''NOTE''': The reason for both of Tiny-Huge Island's misplaced coins is believed to be a change of the level geometry during development to make the iron balls roll away from the fenced area, without adjusting the positions of the coins and coin spawner to compensate.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPILIf7ru48 YouTube video about the impossible coin on THI's big island]</ref> | ||

When Mario reaches a total of 1,000 coins in a given course, his extra life total will change to "{{hover|M25|negative 25}}" due to a developer mistake. The intended process was to set the coin total back to 999 coins if the player ever exceeded this limit. On the original Japanese release however, the game will instead set Mario's total lives to 999 when he has exceeds the coin limit. Since the life counter is only 8 bits, this overflows and reads as -25 (the display shows '''M25''', with M representing a minus sign). Upon reaching -128 lives, the total underflows and then is set down to 100.<ref>[ | When Mario reaches a total of 1,000 coins in a given course, his extra life total will change to "{{hover|M25|negative 25}}" due to a developer mistake.

The game stores object positions as {{wp|Float (computing)|floating point numbers}}. Within the collision checks for floors and ceilings in the level geometry, it {{wp|Type conversion|casts}} the position values to signed 16-bit integers. This data type can only store values from −32768 to 32767, so the type conversion will {{wpInteger overflow|truncate}} larger float values into this range. Therefore, an object far out of bounds might detect collision where there is none, if the game finds collision at the truncated converted position.

The direction of a parallel universe influences how collision checks work, leading to different properties. Lateral PUs have floors and ceilings. Upward vertical PUs are filled with ceiling hitboxes. Downward vertical PUs have floor collisions that snap Mario back up to the lateral grid (a glitch called an overflow jump). | The direction of a parallel universe influences how collision checks work, leading to different properties.

In any [[Bowser]] arena, Mario should lure or throw Bowser to the platform's edge. Then, Mario should be positioned on the same ledge far from Bowser so that he jumps towards Mario and narrowly misses the platform during his descent.
