It is a relatively bizarre feature of the level, being the only such line of coins on a slope and the only point of interest on the upper slopes of the vortex area in general.</p><p>Bottom: possibly due to this bizarre placement, there has been an oversight in the process of adapting Dire, Dire Docks in Super Mario 64 DS whereby the coins are still in the level, but the actual slope was changed to go above them rather than below them. The footage uses a model editor to show that the coins are only visible from out of bounds instead of from within the playable area. As such, they are not collectable without glitches.</p><p>This continues a trend of so-called &ldquo;impossible coins&rdquo; started by the original Super Mario 64 itself, whereby some coins are mistakenly placed inside solid landmasses (though the name merely refers to their unavailability during regular gameplay; with complex enough glitches these can of course be collected by clipping out of bounds).</p><p><i>Source: </i><a href="https://x.com/Really_Tall/status/821814349576736768" target="_blank"><i>Really_Tall</i></a></p><p><a href="https://href.li/?http://www.suppermariobroth.com/" target="_blank"><small>Main Blog</small></a><small> | </small><a href="https://href.li/?https://www.patreon.com/suppermariobroth" target="_blank"><small>Patreon</small></a><small> | </small><a href="https://href.li/?https://twitter.com/MarioBrothBlog" target="_blank"><small>Twitter</small></a><small> | </small><a href="https://bsky.app/profile/mariobrothblog.bsky.social" target="_blank"><small>Bluesky</small></a><small> |</small><a href="https://smallmariofindings.tumblr.com/" target="_blank"><small> Small Findings</small></a></p>

One way for him to spawn is by touching specific objects that load in on the same frame as Yoshi falls offscreen.</p><p>The footage shows a setup on how to activate Chuck Yoshi in Forest of Illusion 3. The player must stand in the specific spot shown and then move the camera left with L. A Galoomba in a bubble will appear. If Yoshi is hurt by it and Mario then walks after him (no running!) then a Bob-omb in a bubble will spawn in mid-air above the pit on the frame that Yoshi dies (this may take a number of tries due to being frame-perfect). </p><p>If this is done correctly, entering another level or room will make Mario load in riding Chuck Yoshi, as seen at the end of the footage. Note that Chuck Yoshi merely <i>looks</i> corrupt, but has completely normal Yoshi functionality.</p><p><i>Source: </i><a href="https://bsky.app/profile/octavesmw.bsky.social/post/3mrawhd4nj22r" target="_blank"><i>octavesmw</i></a></p><p><a href="https://href.li/?http://www.suppermariobroth.com/" target="_blank"><small>Main Blog</small></a><small> | </small><a href="https://href.li/?https://www.patreon.com/suppermariobroth" target="_blank"><small>Patreon</small></a><small> | </small><a href="https://href.li/?https://twitter.com/MarioBrothBlog" target="_blank"><small>Twitter</small></a><small> | </small><a href="https://bsky.app/profile/mariobrothblog.bsky.social" target="_blank"><small>Bluesky</small></a><small> |</small><a href="https://smallmariofindings.tumblr.com/" target="_blank"><small> Small Findings</small></a></p>

The only way to continue playing in this scenario is to reset the game, losing progress as a result. </p><p>The game considers all stats in which Mario has 50 or more as being impossible to level up, even if his base stat is lower than 50 and it is merely being increased by equipping an HP Plus or FP Plus badge. As such, if Mario is anywhere at Level 21 or above, and has both fully upgraded BP to 30 as well as is equipping enough badges to push both HP and FP to 50 or beyond, the level up screen will not allow any stat to be increased, preventing the player from continuing.</p><p>To prevent this, simply make sure at least one of either Mario&rsquo;s HP or FP is 45 or below while leveling him up between Level 21 and 26 (or alternatively, keep BP under 30). After reaching Level 27, no more level ups are possible so any badges can be used without concerns.</p><p><i>Source: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Wk8mP5kfVA" target="_blank">iggykoop</a></i></p><p><small><a href="https://href.li/?http://www.suppermariobroth.com/" target="_blank">Main Blog</a> | <a href="https://href.li/?https://www.patreon.com/suppermariobroth" target="_blank">Patreon</a> | <a href="https://href.li/?https://twitter.com/MarioBrothBlog" target="_blank">Twitter</a> | <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/mariobrothblog.bsky.social" target="_blank">Bluesky</a> |<a href="https://smallmariofindings.tumblr.com/" target="_blank"> Small Findings</a></small></p>
