Learn the incredibly difficult glitch to beat Koopa The Quick in Super Mario 64 DS in 0'00"0! This guide explains the precise steps using the Wing Cap and cannons.

Alright, so you want to pull off one of the most insane glitches in Super Mario 64 DS? This one lets you beat Koopa The Quick in literally zero seconds. It's super tough, but totally worth it if you can nail it. Let's get this done!

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    First things first, jump into the painting that takes you to Bob-omb Battlefield. We're going to set the star to 'Footrace with Koopa the Quick'.
  2. 2
    Once you're in the level, your first objective is to grab a Wing Cap. Get that power-up as soon as you can.
  3. 3
    With the Wing Cap equipped, head all the way back to the very beginning of the level. Koopa The Quick should be chilling right there.
  4. 4
    Now for the really tricky part. You need to perform a triple jump. The goal is to make the leap of your *third* jump from just in front of Koopa. It's a fine balance – not too close, not too far.
  5. 5
    If you timed that triple jump perfectly, you'll start flying. Keep flying, and without touching the ground, aim for the cannon that's closest to Koopa The Quick.
  6. 6
    Blast yourself out of that first cannon, aiming to go really high. You want to land in the *second* cannon.
  7. 7
    From this second cannon, launch yourself towards the top of the mountain, where you'd normally find King Bob-omb. Make sure you land right next to the finishing pole.
  8. 8
    If you pulled off all those steps perfectly, Mario will automatically turn his head, and you'll get that familiar message from Koopa The Quick challenging you to a race.
  9. 9
    Go ahead and accept the challenge. Since you're already standing at the finish line, you'll instantly win the race with a time of 0'00"0!
Tips
  • This glitch requires extreme precision, especially the triple jump timing and the flight path between cannons. Don't get discouraged if it takes many tries!
  • Make sure you have the Wing Cap *before* you attempt the triple jump near Koopa.
  • The exact positioning for the triple jump is crucial. Experiment a bit to find that sweet spot just in front of Koopa.
  • Aiming the flight path into the second cannon can be tricky. Use the camera to get a good angle before you launch from the first cannon.

You'll get the star for beating Koopa The Quick in record-breaking time (0'00"0)!
