How did you know to jump into the paintings? There was literally no indication.
the paintings would react like water, if you got near them or brushed up against them they would act like it was a ripple
Have an IQ above 95 and it isn't that hard
It's written on verse 10 of the Book of Revealations. Can't you idiots read?
Wait, you could jump into the paintings?
How were you supposed to know that the door to the castle would open when you walked into it?

Pretty sure the toad you see when you first walk in literally tells you.
the backcover of the game box tells you so
did this kind of thread reach meme status yet or we have to answer this honestly?
pretty obvious when you enter a room and there is nothing but a bigass painting that ripples
It was in the manual.
>>284609472
Yeah wtf, I've based my entire hate for nintendo on the fact they sold this "mario: 64 seconds of gameplay" shit, jumping through paintings sounds cool, but is there a purpose behind it?

I let a younger cousin play the DS version some years ago, and she couldn't figure out what to do.
What's funny is, she HAD been trying to jump into the first picture, she reported.
How could she possibly have, I wondered, and asked her to show me.
>she runs up to the picture
>pushing the wall still running
>jumps while still being right at the wall

when i looked it up it said i had to glitch using the stairs and beated it this way

The worst part about this bait is that there literally is. There are Toads that tell you.
The only thing I had trouble with was Snowman's Land. I thought the mirror room was just there for looks.

Snowman's Land is really clever. You're so used to paintings by that point you wouldn't notice that one wall has a painting that shouldn''t be there.
>>284607950

>>284607950
As a 6 year old I was capable of figuring out the paintings were portals within a minute of being in the castle. How can my 6 year old self be smarter than the fully grown playtesters of today?
very interesting idea OP....
I imagine everyone either saw a friend do it or heard about it. But if you took someone who had never played or heard of SM64. How long would it take..? I dont imagine long, since the paitings were the centerpiece of each room.
Now those secret rooms and areas, God knows if now for word of mouth would have remained hidden forever.

Iwata:
>Yes, that’s right. If you play the game for the first time with no prior knowledge, you're going to run into the first Goomba and lose a turn.
Miyamoto:
>Right, which is why you have to teach the player in a natural way that they need to avoid them by jumping over them.
Iwata:
>Then when the player tries to jump and avoid them, there are going to be times when they get it wrong and end up stamping on the Goomba. By doing that, they learn in a natural way that by stamping on them, you can defeat them.

You're a stupid fucking faggot.
There are only so many buttons to press, and none of them do anything other than up/down.
If you got stuck on this trying to force it by jumping, you were honestly developmentally challenged as a child.

This is my mom. Got her the game on an emulator so she can have some fun with something other than Mahjong. She kept doing this and got frustrated so I had to jump into the painting for her
>>284619291
Right. Only faggots have fun playing video games.
I actually didn't know you were supposed to jump into the paintingsI had to have my older sister come in and show me
Same with spyro 2, I didn't know what the fuck I was doing so she made me sit on her lap and showed me the controls and helped me beat the first few levels with her.

This is getting he all kinds of hot and bothered. Hold me, we'll never be able to go back
The first thing the game teaches you how to do is move and operate the camera.
So you enter the castle, first thing you're liable to notice is Toad glimmering in the walls.
Other than that, the only door you can enter is the one with the Bob-omb Battlefield painting, and through experimentation eventually you'll hurl Mario into it.
I've always really loved Nintendo games for how elegant they can be about introducing concepts.
Barring that, the instruction manual tells you that jumping into the painting will take Mario to a new world. Just because the tutorials weren't as elaborate as they are now, doesn't mean that they weren't retard-proofing.
>>284610517
You cheeky cunt
>>284620984
Why did they make Toad Invisible? You're likely to just walk past him.
>>284607950
I wish Ego would tear this game apart
He knows a lot about game design and other shit
>>284621076
Because Bowser trapped him in the walls.
>>284607950
Now that I think of it, I probably saw a cousin/friend doing it, since I didn't have a N64.
However when I played it for the first time I jumped straight to the painting.
>>284607950
By watching the commercials. It showed Mario doing a backflip into the paintings.
>>284616714
And how the fuck am I supposed to know which bricks have shit and which doesnt, huh miyamoto?
How do I look for invisible bricks?
Am I supposed to jump under every fucking tile?
Fuck you miyamoto, my friends kept getting more marios than me because I didn't buy the startegy guide.
>>284615162
it bounces when you jump on it so most people assume you have to jump on with the right rhythm. How does bouncing indicate to press up and down?
How do you know how to move? There is literally no indication.
>>284616714
>
I did. I went as far as thinking that jumping is an original idea and that it should be patented! Anyway, I thought: “Right, I’m not going to let those other games top us!” (laughs) We had done tests where a large character jumped around with the blue sky in the background…
>Miyamoto never played pitfall

Jokes on you, I managed to do it once by jumping the first time I got to that level, which made the following runs of that level a nightmare because I was sure that was how to do it but I never managed to do it again.
I only found about the up/down months after, they only had to make that barrel not react to jumps like some others in the level to make the up/down thing obvious.
>>284612126
I would've bought the Homeworld remastered collectors edition if it actually had the manuals in it since it was filled with lore like Arcanum's but no, nowadays even a thing you buy double the amount you had to back in the days the get it doesn't have that.
>>284622706
if the barrel didn't move at all, people would assume they hit a dead end and would backtrack
>>284607950
Where do you find the red switch to get the wing't cap? There is literally no direction on where to go. First time playing it.
How do you turn on the N64 console?
>>284622908

You couldn't backtrack here, you were locked in a room.

As someone who helps common people every day with mundane stuff, like simple math, or using windows, I'd say they aren't wrong.
Today, people need to be treated as retards, maybe because gaming isn't as niche as it was. Apple capitalizes on treating people like literal retards, they are the ones who introduced a device with a single button after all.

Friendly reminder that those old out of touch Japanese men have not a single ounce of respect for the female gender. Mario is singllehandedly responsible for starting misoginy in gaming with his whole "hero saving damsel in distress" gimmick. Only digusting, autistic, gamer shitlords play ths shit in 2015 and enjoy it. If you disagree it's cuz you're a misogynistic bigot and everything that is wrong with the gaming industry.

Know what I hate about modern Mario? How pastel and colorful everything is. By that, I mean there's no more realism to be found. It's all sterilized and safe. Look at Metal Mario here and then look at Metal Mario in Mario Kart 7. I've really come to appreciate Super Mario 64. I loved it as a kid and then it faded out of my life. We'll never have a Mario title with the movelist he had ever again.

To reach Tourian without glitches you need to kill Draygon and the only way to get there without glitches starts with the Maridia tube.
It's an easy fix too. When you collect first power bomb just trap Samus inside a tube similar to the Maridia tube and require the player to use their brand new upgrade to get out.
