So... A lot of people have heard of TASes at this point (using computer programs to beat a video game as quickly as possible by utilizing glitches that result when inputting a billion button presses a second, etc), but some people have taken this idea to a new level. Like attempting to get every single star in Super Mario 64 WITHOUT EVER PRESSING A.
Seriously, once this guy starts the level "Mario Wings To The Sky" (one of the flying levels, nonetheless), the A button is never pressed and he instead spawns waves of floating goombas through odd glitches to reach the triggers for the star instead of flying. He graciously sped up parts of the video, because even the best computer would take over 50 minutes to set up all the glitches involved. BUT, IT'S POSSIBLE TO GET A STAR NORMALLY RETRIEVED BY FLYING BY INSTEAD TELEPORTING UNSUSPECTING GOOMBAS AND NEVER PRESSING THE A BUTTON ONCE.
Edit: Also, he never uses a cannon. Because to fire out of the cannon, you press A. 'Tis a glorious thing.
