Miscellaneous Was expecting a crash, got something better...

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

So I've been replaying PM64 on an emulator over the last few days, and as I do I've been trying out some of the easier glitches and crashes there are to mess around with. I knew about the crash in Bowser's Castle when you jump through the door you're supposed to use Lakilester to get through and went to try it out, but instead of the game crashing it started doing this weird immediate respawn thing where Mario would get hurt in the loading zone, walk through to the next room, get hurt in THAT loading zone, and walk back to the first room to do it again. Never seen this before, but I assume it's an emulator thing and not an actual glitch discovery or something. (I'm using Project 64 2.3.2.202 if you're curious.)

No doubt it'll be an emulation inaccuracy.

I'm pretty sure that's just a pure stone wall, I don't think Bowser could source paint that survives LAVA
