Supper Mario Broth @Mario BrothBlog A glitch in Super Mario 64 DS allows Yoshi to collect most stars from anywhere in the course by having them jump onto his tongue. Unfortunately, doing this requires spawning 4.3 billion objects in a row, which takes hundreds of years of continuous gameplay. In Super Mario 64 DS, every object has a unique ID. The IDs are established when an area loads, with the objects that are there from the beginning getting the lowest ID numbers, and any object spawned afterward getting a sequentially higher ID. IDs are used by the game for a variety of functions. For example, when Yoshi's tongue touches an object, the game records what ID that object has, then places an object of that ID onto Yoshi's tongue on the next frame if he is supposed to eat it. In virtually all cases, the object Yoshi's tongue touched and the object placed on it will be the same because IDs are unique. However, there is a limit to how unique something can be. IDs are assigned a numerical range from 0 to 4,294,967,295. That means that if the game needs to assign over 4.3 billion IDs by spawning that many new objects, it is going to run out of unique IDs and start assigning old, already used ones again. The surprising interaction here is that when two objects share the same ID, it is not the newer object that takes precedence over the older one, but the other way around. The previously existing object will be called instead of the new object. Game: "Yoshi touched Object 100 with his tongue. Object 100 will be placed on his tongue on the next frame" Coin ID 100 Created later Star ID 100 Present from beginning Yoshi's tongue touches a coin with the same ID as a star created earlier Game: "Going through the list from earliest to latest returned Object 100 as this star" (Game stops looking before seeing there is another Object 100) The star takes precedence over the coin due to being created earlier, and jumps to Yoshi's tongue. This allows Yoshi to get any already existing star in a course simply by eating an object that was spawned later and has the same ID, as the star's ID will overwrite it when he eats it, and the star will jump onto Yoshi's tongue. This trivializes most challenges in the game as the only thing Yoshi needs to do is create enough new objects to overflow the ID list. Unfortunately, due the ID list overflowing only at 4,294,967,295, this requires spawning around 4.3 billion new objects, which in most cases takes hundreds of years, with some particularly slowly respawning objects requiring over 1000 years.
