I don’t know, I had to look it up.
The hint didn’t say anything about hitting a corner. Bad game design at its finest.
In contrast I got every moon in Odyssey without having to look up a single one. Even the ones that aren’t shown in the map, like the photograph ones, can be discovered through intuition alone.
Meanwhile, there is nothing intuitive about some of Mario 64’s stars, especially “Blast Away the Wall”.
old video games had alot of bullshit like this in their games to make people buy strategy guides or rack your parents credit card bill through the roof on the 1-800 tip line. usually the kid with the strategy guides would bring it to school and youd find out this way. I was there
Video games were mainly focused at the richer audiences, hence the high prices, which generally had higher IQs to be able figure problems out, once gaming got too big and included more 3rd worlders and Black folk, devs had to start dumbing down their games
You'd spend an hour running around the stage and the next day a guy on the playground told you. Unironically a different time.
how did he find out?
he was better at running around the stage
He thought it would be funny to fly into the wall cause the Mario man makes funny noises.
his uncle who works at nintendo told him
His dad bought the guide or printed out the FAQ online
>"blast away the wall"
>hmm what can I blast with here?
>oh look a cannon let's try that
>blast yourself into various walls
How was I supposed to know pressing A would fire the cannon?
>How was I supposed to know to start the game
>How was I supposed to know to turn the TV on
>How was I supposed to know to play video games
You're the stupidest gorilla Black person.
The bob-ombs tell you
How was I supposed to know to talk to the bob-ombs?
The manual tells you
>friends at school
>cousins
>official guide

i didnt figure it out till almost a decade later when we got a computer.
The polygon clipping was obvious to me. Considering the limited amount of places you could fire the canon, it was worth a shot. Never used a guide.
>"Blast away the wall"
>Cannon is right in front of 2 parallel walls.
I literally played around with the canon until I accidentally shot myself into the wall trying to aim at a red coin I think
>ITT: luke warm IQ mongoloids
How did you morons even figure out which end to put the cartridge in to the console?
How was I supposed to know the bottom goes in first?
Zoomer here, was the white outline always there to hint the player or is that a result from modern tvs?
you see it when flying the owl
/thread
You get the power, Nintendo Power
I saw the star clipping through the wall while gliding with the owl above it.
Shoot walls near the canon until one works
