[HD] SM64DS - Inside the Cage BCCless (NO FLOWER POWER)

BCCless stands for Block/Cannon/Coin-less, which is a challenge where you can't use flower powers or the wings, can't use any cannon, and can't collect any coin. I actually just realized while writing this that I collected a coin in the video, lol. It's obviously 100% possible to avoid it though, by going in the middle of the ring for example.

Yep, this is real. This glitch was discovered by Really_Tall a few weeks ago, and he decided to name it Quantum Tunelling. Basically, there are many areas in SM64DS where the seams of floor triangles don’t exactly line up, which creates a tiny gap that you can clip through if you have just the right X, Y, and Z coordinates and have the exact required vertical velocity.

The Y coordinate is by far the most precise one needed, since it's a range of only 64 units (the horizontal speed after you start walking for 1 frame is 4096). For now, there are no viable setups to recreate this glitch in real time, so this video is a TAS (tool-assisted speedrun), but even with tools this glitch is pretty hard to do.

Due to the numerous strategies that can be done with that new glitch discovered, we decided to ban its use in the 150 star TAS, as it would completely change the route (meaning we would have to spend months on testing different new routes, along with redoing the full-game TAS from scratch) and we think it's too game-breaking and not as entertaining as the current strategies that don't use this glitch.
