Scott Buchanan (born c. 1994), better known under his username pannenkoek2012, is a Super Mario 64 analyst and YouTube personality. pannenkoek2012 is known for creating highly technical videos detailing the mechanics of Super Mario 64, in which he does not explain techniques he uses to beat levels of the game without using the jump mechanic. In 2014, he collected a coin until then thought unobtainable in the "Tiny-Huge Island" level. In 2015, he offered a $1,000 USD bounty for anyone who could recreate a certain glitch in Super Mario 64.
Super Mario 64 videos
Super Mario 64 was the first video game Buchanan played as a child. In 2013, before finishing college, Buchanan started uploading videos of reaching Super Mario 64 objectives without jumping on his pannenkoek2012 YouTube channel. Though Mario's primary skill is considered to be jumping from platform to platform, pannenkoek2012 attempted to clear the entirety of Super Mario 64 without pressing the A-button (which initiates a jump), by using the game's environmental hazards and Mario's running slide.
pannenkoek2012 has done a large amount of in-depth YouTube videos describing the mechanics of Super Mario 64, which Allegra Frank of Polygon describes as "programming lessons" both informative and inscrutable. In one video, pannenkoek2012 explains how a player can affect the random number generator of Super Mario 64 to make Bob-ombs blink or to determine the speed of coin drops. Despite the highly technical nature of these videos, he amasses tens of thousands of views on new pieces.Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page).
Impossible coin
In June 2014, pannenkoek2012 collected what was known as "the impossible coin", an item hidden in the "Tiny-Huge Island" level of Super Mario 64 that was deemed impossible to reach. The coin was first discovered in 2002 and a screenshot of it was subsequently posted on GameFAQs. It was likely placed underneath the ground by one of the game's developers by accident. Considered unobtainable, the coin was dubbed "the impossible coin": pannenkoek2012 managed to collect it using tool-assistance, by jumping and kicking on
In the Super Mario 64 level "Bowser in the Sky", pannenkoek2012 discovered a misplaced Goomba located at the bottom of the level, held by the enemy, which he dubbed "the Mystery Goomba". Since the enemy currently seems impossible to kill, he called it the "new" impossible coin.
Upwarp glitch
In August 2015, Twitch.tv streamer DOTA_TeaBag encountered a glitch in Super Mario 64 level "Tick Tock Clock", where Mario suddenly teleported upwards in the level. The "upwarp", as it is described, caught pannenkoek2012's attention, as the glitch may allow players to skip large sections of the game. If the high-level players could reliably recreate the upwarp, they could potentially shave off seconds during speedruns. pannenkoek2012 offered a $1,000 USD prize to anyone who could recreate the upwarp glitch and send game2015-04-08}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http:
