Super Mario 64 - 1000 coins glitch ("M")

This is a video I made long ago for the 1000 coins glitch of the japanese version of Super Mario 64 (the english version stops at 999 coins).

While fighting Bowser in "Bowser in the Dark World," avoid his fire-breath and keep picking up the Coins that come from the flames. When you reach a total of 1000 Coins in the level, an "M" is added in front of your extra life total, and the numbers next to it change to 25. Next, blow up Bowser or die, it doesn't matter. The weird thing is, as long as you have the "M" the number will go down when you'd normally gain a life, and the number will go up when you'd normally lose a life. For example, if you threw yourself off of Bowser's platform after getting the "M25" you'll return with M26 lives in reserve.
Mario can lose the "M" two ways: If you manage to get a lot of 1-Ups to bring the extra life total down to M1, the next 1-Up you get will change the total to 0, and you'll lose the "M." If you manage to die a lot and bring the total up to M128, the next time you lose a life, you'll lose the "M" and the extra life total changes to 100. Also, if you talk to Yoshi, he'll give you 100 lives, but even if you have M128 it will take them all away until you hit 0 (that's when you lose the "M") and then bring you up to 100 "normal" lives in reserve.

Mario is sitting there collecting coin after coin after coin when Bowsers just sitting blowing fire blast after fire blast after fire blast, and Mario is like

"Keep-a them coming-a Bowser! I will soon be-a rich!" XD

Répondre à cette vidéo... In the US version you can do this by using mario clone code on game shark, although it works better on emulator and room because you do not have to press the GS botton to turn off the code, unless there is a way to make the gameshark code use the L button, or the D-pad to clone mario.

How long will it take to collect 1000 coins?

The "M" couldn't exist if it wasn't in the original coding, thus it was supposed to be there, duh >.>
