I would not suggest attempting this without hacks...

Okay, let's be real here. Nobody's going to actually do this glitch. But I should note in this description that leaving the room after spawning the initial 3 blocks will reset the memory address responsible for counting the hits back to 0, and will flag the secret as "complete." In other words, this glitch would have to be done without going anywhere else in the game for 416 years.

The video itself explains the glitch in detail, but if you guys have any questions, let me know. I'll answer them as soon as possible. :)

This glitch was theorized and found by Bonecrusher1022, and this video wouldn't have been possible without Rain's help.

    I bet you can crash it even faster with an actual hammer.

    Jeez, I can't believe the devs would leave in an oversight like this. Shouldn't they test these things?

    People in 1603: "Yoooooo what happens if we hit this block for 416 years!?"
  • @DSWiifan
    “Keep in mind we calculated the lag using the Wii virtual console version, so it might be different from the original N64 version” Got it, I’ll keep that in mind when I attempt this myself

    My brother while we play paper mario: "You know if you hit that block 10 times , you get a super shroom. And if you hit it 100 times, you get an ultra shroom" Me: "Wow! I never knew that! Do you get anything after?" My dirty lying brother: "Nope, that's it."

    Let’s just hope that a power outage doesn’t happen for 416 years.
  • @QuiteDan
    It's been 22 years, I can't believe Nintendo still hasn't patched this.

    The year is 2432, I have finally crashed the paper Mario cartridge that has been passed down for generations. I now rule the British Empire.
  • @operationmeh
    How the fuck did this get past beta testing and quality control? Honestly, Nintendo...

    This is what Miyamoto had in mind when designing Paper Mario
