raocow's talkhaus

Those thwomps are so weird, I think I found the half-crushing mario thing more funny than I should.

Also

I was wondering what the intended way to get on top of the castle was, guess this area was it, it's been far too long since I played to remember ^_^

Taking a month off to rust up your skills to give more of a challenge when you return, I'm down with that. :)

Okay I loved how you missed that star on the edge of the mountain just barely, also always fun when you die and a star spawns. :D

30 today... my god.

You can actually get up that bit really safely with the jumping music box thing, that's why it's there.

Doing this game without savestates, that chandelier jump was really annoying. Also hey, you ended with 9 coins, World 9 time, no escape! (But in all seriousness it's not 'that' bad, I do remember some bits being annoying but I don't think I actually got angry at it)

My god raocow, way to trivialise the annoying lillypad star

Ah yes... the tree, I have fond memories of climbing the tree....

Angry eye is the best star ever. Hopefully not too many levels will require savescumming, but I'd rather a happycow video with savestates than a murdercow video so eh :P (Just for gloating reasons, I didn't use savestates on the ghost level OR the music level, ho ho ho) Also was World 5's music alwa...

Huh, somehow I forgot about the mario world castle level, you 'can' make it through the net with the bullet bills shooting at you, just have to time it right.

It is always quite fun to think about how 'friendly' lava is in this game though, especially compared to the 2D games.

The music level will be the savestate level easily.

Depth perception can indeed be a thing in Mario 64, but that's why the camera has different modes and can spin around, so you can better judge the distance. But yeah going to other courses and then just occasionally returning to get one or two stars in this one might be the better option, rather tha...

Looks like playing with the range made Mario a bit more agreeable, though if you have trouble turning maybe you did it slightly too far. :P I love this course, it's really laid back, though I guess you'll be going back to forest world now you have the metal cap huh? I'm having fun trying to remember...

As bad as the cannon is I don't think it's supposed to be that touchy when adjusting "insert reason why N64 pad is bad/old here", but ugh, damnit raocow you made it with a normal walljump? I remember doing some annoying crazy jump to get to that star and all I needed to do was a normal wal...

One of the chapel stars was the first 'thing' for me when I first played, wasn't aware of certain game mechanics and tricks needed to do for a few stars in the game, though it's nice that we finally have a 100 coin run that went well (and didn't need rerecording).

Yeah crawling is a legitimate strategy for the tricky spots.

Oh geez I remember that rude red coin... brings back memories. I wouldn't let this deter you from 100%ing though raocow, I managed to 100% the game and I am generally nowhere near as good at videogames as you are. A lot of the stages are much less death-pit filled and the ones that are usually have ...

Mario 64 is really weird in chipmunk mode, so not used to it.

Yeah original Mario 64 you could pretty much go to a lot of places at any given time, dude wanted to make it feel like a proper sequel.

Damn comments.. the Invisible Cap isn't that hard to find, raocow even noticed there was something up with the ghost. Welp.

I wonder if depth-perception in 3D games is going to be the new wind in 2D games...

Okay so I got off my ass and came up with my Gym's idea. Challengers welcome

Yeah if your controller is still finicky it wouldn't be a bad idea to spend 5-10 minutes playing around with the deadzone, sensitivity etc, run around the courtyard, repeat until it feels better. Ghost zone can be pretty hard, I like the Chuckya place though, always felt easier than the second area ...

Start of a new recording session bump.

I actually got around to installing discord and not using skype so sure, hit me up with an invite please. : Xirix#8917
