This website served as a nice reminder that I forgot to install Consent-o-Matic on my phone after reinstalling Firefox. How useful!

the article is wrong anyway, better just watch this video instead

Reader mode works at least. Unlike some other websites that just absolutely refuse to play ball.

That's only their Facebook "friends"

You tell em!

Thanks for heads up. My brave and firefox w ublock origin on android saw nothing. Must of blocked by default 😁.

And across multiple devices as well.

I read until it mentioned pannenkoek and immediately clicked away after that.

edit: clicked away from the article to watch the video directly from the source. Go watch the video, pannenkoek is great.

I'm sure the YouTuber meant well and did a deep dive, but without your timestamp, it would take the viewer 5 minutes before getting to the answer.

Where I can literally skimmed a article in 15 seconds.

Unfortunately this article sucks and doesn't even explain it.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

+ the collision is much less of a problem, the issue was that even if you clipped through you had to be in the walking state to open the door (you could clip through before!)

This new tactic involves doing a turnaround, after which for ~1 frame you enter the walking state in midair, allowing you to open the door after being pushed through by the penguin at the right time.

And the trick involves a frame perfect maneuver.

I would recommend going and watching the pannenkoek video because it is so good.
The quick version is that it has been known to be possible to clip through the wall to get to the door, but Mario has to be in the walking state to open it. Since the floor directly under the door hitbox is all covered by wall, and the part that isn't covered by wall doesn't have a floor directly below it, it seems like there's no way to actually be in the walking state to open it.
However, by abusing an exploit where Mario finishes his turn around animation the same frame he leaves the ground, the transition to the freefall state is overwritten by the transition to the walking state; this lasts one frame until a check is run next frame — which properly puts him in freefall. Timing the turn around right lets you be past the wall and walking, so you can open the door.

It’s not a real door to the inside of the slide area. It’s a door that triggers loading a new area. And there’s no floor on the other side of it. So if you got the baby penguin to the other side, it’d just fall to its doom. And if you still managed to mips clip, so would you.

If you could get the baby penguin to the other side of the door, it would fall through the floor
