Super Mario 64 Pro Player Finally Unlocks Unreachable Door After Nearly 30 Years

An ingenious player recently uncovered a new trick in the classic platformer Super Mario 64, rekindling excitement within the game's thriving community. Despite being nearly 30 years old, the game continues to challenge players, and their dedication to discovering new glitches and hacks remains steadfast. The latest breakthrough involves the ski-hut door in the course Bibberberg Bob, which was once deemed inaccessible without the use of hacks. Fans observed that after exiting the hut, re-entry seemed impossible. However, a clever solution has now been shared on Discord by community member Alexpalix and examined in detail by content creator pannekoek2012 on YouTube.

The trick exploits a small window of in-air running time that Mario achieves after changing direction. Utilizing this moment facilitates the activation of the door trigger, allowing Mario to re-enter the hut. Although this particular trick doesn't shorten speedrun attempts, it is celebrated by the community for proving once again that no challenge is too great for dedicated players. While the mysteries of Super Mario 64 continue to captivate, Mario himself has already embarked on other adventures, with Paper Mario: The Legend of the Aeon Door being his next, currently only known through trailers.

Players were able to re-enter the ski-hut by using the Mama Penguin to help Mario bypass a wall blocking the trigger. The key was to adjust Mario's direction and create a brief time-frame where he runs in the air, triggering the door and allowing re-entry to the hut.

Super Mario 64, released by Nintendo in 1997, is a landmark title in the world of gaming. It was one of the first 3D platformers and introduced an open-world design that influenced countless games thereafter. The title is frequently associated with speedrunning, where players attempt to complete the game as fast as possible, which has contributed to the ongoing interest in the game's mechanics and secret glitches. The community's dedication to exploring and demystifying every aspect of Super Mario 64's code has led to it being one of the most studied and documented games in speedrunning history.
