How an Ionizing Particle From Outer Space Helped a Mario Speedrunner
![Xe laso Dot Net Slash Contact @theprincessxena THEGAMER How An Ionizing Particle From Outer Space Helped A Mario Speedrunner Save Time Q Super Mario 64 speedrunner DOTA_Teabag received some cosmic help from an ionizing particle, resulting in an impossible glitch. During the race, an ionizing particle from outer space collided with DOTA_Teabag's N64, flipping the eighth bit of Mario's first height byte. Specifically, it flipped the byte from 11000101 to 11000100, from "C5" to "C4". This resulted in a height change from C5837800 to C4837800, which by complete chance, happened to be the exact amount needed to warp Mario up to the higher floor at that exact moment. This was tested by pannenkoek12 - the same person who put up the bounty - using a script that manually flipped that particular bit at the right time, confirming the suspicion of a bit flip. 3:49 PM Feb 7, 2021](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/masonry/002/545/555/4f7.jpg)

many people think that the cause of this phenomenon was caused by a high energy particle hitting the n64 memory
![Fendoroid 6 years ago Since this glitch still has not been reproduced after a long time, many people think that the cause of this phenomenon was caused by a high energy particle hitting the n64 memory, modifying the value at the address of the most significant bit of Mario's Y position to a higher value. Or maybe it was a miracle, like the Red Sea glitch.... 384 Reply 25 replies](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/masonry/002/545/564/421.jpg)

A cosmic gamma ray caused a bit flip, obviously
