How were people of 1996 able to know that you were supposed to backwards long jump up these stairs to get to bowser?

You didn't know that?

It tells you about BLJs in the manual. It's right after the page on unlocking Luigi mode.

Gamers had average higher IQ back then, less black people and women involved in gaming.

Lol

Speedcheaters make me sick

Wow, fucking BULLSHIT. How were you supposed to know?

imagine if somebody made a game like this where this was the actual strategy and everybody just got stuck on level 1 forever and had no idea what to do

Don't tell me you couldn't figure out that you had to backwards long jump to get past the basement star door either.

So that's how you beat Koppa the Quick. Could never figure it out as a kid

I didn't. I was 6 when I first played this game and it took me years to just reach 70 stars and climb the stairs legit.

I never found this star when I first played the game. It wasn't until years later when I got the internet that I learned what I was supposed to do.
What a shitty obscure star. I'm still mad about it.

>you will never have super autism like this
>you're just destined to be an average autist at best
feels bad man

Who the fuck actually has time to find out all these exploits? I've beaten Mario 64 maybe once in my life and never picked it up again because it's the exact same game every time you play. I can't imagine the autism that goes into these guides.

they had Nintendo Power, nigga

>I can't imagine the autism that goes into these guides.
Well you just answered your own question.

Some people just like finding exploits, and early 3D stuff like Mario 64 is riddled with them.

There was a thread with people pretending pannen was some sort of godlike entity and someone posted that video saying how he could banish others to PU realms, really fun times.
