While doing this push the analogue stick towards the door, you should start doing backwards longjumps on the stairs. To perform this glitch stand at the bottom of the stairs facing away from the door and longjump towards the camera, now hold down Z and tap A when you touch the ground to keep longjumping. Now you need to use the backwards longjump glitch to get through the the 50 star door.

Now walk up the stairs and through the locked door to the first floor of the castle.

Now you'll notice that you're trapped in the the room with the entrance to Dire, Dire Docks, to get out simply enter DDD and pause the game and select Exit Course to appear back in the castle lobby. Beat this bowser to obtain the key to the first floor of the castle. Now you need to enter Dire, Dire Docks and complete the first star to uncover the entrance to the Bowser in the Lava Sea course. Now turn around and face away from the door and jump between MIPS and the door, if you get the distance right you should be bumped straight through the door and into the room behind. Now grab MIPS again and take him to the 30 star door and drop him a short distance from the door. Now turn and drop MIPS on the other side of the door. If you get the distance just right you should land merged with the door, if this happens don't move or you'll open the door, instead, press B to grab MIPS. As soon as Mario has finished the door opening animation turn and jump back at the door. For those unfamiliar with this glitch here's a brief description ĭrop MIPS as close to the door as possible, then walk through the door. Now you need to perform the 'take MIPS through doors glitch'. Now take him to the door you came in through, that leads back to the room containing the 30 star door. To perform this glitch start a new game and play through it until you have 15 stars (so that MIPS the Bunny appears in the basement), now head to Bowser in the Dark World and defeat him so you obtain the key to the basement of the castle. That is a testament not only to the staying power of this game and its flawed but beautiful mechanics, it is also a testament to the passionate speedrunning community behind it.I didn't discover the glitch. If you take a look at the records for Super Mario 64, you will find a very active community of runners from all around the world who continue to test this game's limit on a daily basis, 25 years later. He is currently one of only two people in recorded history to complete the game in under 15:00, with only fellow Japanese streamer akki joining him. Of those records, he most recently placed a very impressive 14:58 time to claim the 16 Star Nintendo 64 record on June 12th, 2021. The legendary speedrunner currently holds six different world records in various Super Mario 64 categories, including many of the most prestigious and competitive categories, such as:

KANNO is no stranger to the top of the Super Mario 64 speed run leader board. He ran the unorthodox speedrun in celebration of Super Mario 64's 25th anniversary! KANNO and the other runners who continue to religiously stream this game and advance the world record continue to add to the legacy of Super Mario 64 a quarter of a century later. And who can blame him, after competing for 27 and a half hours? After over a day of straight playing, KANNO celebrated the completion of his silly, but impressive, feat, with more of a sigh of relief than an animated expression of excitement. The 1600 Star meme speedrunning category involves completing Super Mario 64 100 times in a row, using the 16-star completion route every time. Yes, you read that correctly, KANNO is now the proud world champion in Super Mario 64's worst thought through speedrunning category. After 27 hours and 30 minutes of straight old-school 3d platforming (and glitching), Japanese Twitch streamer KANNO officially earned the world record in a speedrunning category that no one could ever conceivably ask for: the 1600 Star speedrun.
