The Backwards Long Jump

The Backwards Long Jump is the fourth blooper in the Super Mario 64 Bloopers reboot. As the title suggests, the main premise is that Mario discovers the backwards long jump technique and tries it out for himself.

Description
Mario's getting exhausted doing the same thing over and over again, so he learns about a very special trick that could speed things up.

Plot
Mario is minding his own business as a Toad suddenly appears in front of him and shouts at Mario, saying that Princess Peach has been captured and that the elemental stars of doom and chaos have been captured. Mario reluctantly goes to save the day and returns with the princess. Luigi then says hello, to which then Mario asks his brother if he feels like he's doing the same thing over and over again. The princess is then immediately captured by SuperBhys712.

Wanting to find a way to save the princess as quickly as possible, Mario uses the Internet to find a solution. He then comes across the backwards long jump technique.

The following day, Mario gathers everyone to show them the backwards long jump, but fails to perform it. He then has Toad give it a shot with the help of a Super Mushroom. Upon attempting, Toad ends up shooting himself all the way from the top of the castle to Toontown, where he crashes into Star Featherpow's house.

Mario, thinking that Toad just performed the technique incorrectly, heads to Merlon's place to gain the ability to easily use the backwards long jump. Mario then returns to the castle to attempt it once more, and succeeds. Following this is a montage of Mario using the backwards long jump in various ways, like using it to skip parts of levels, and saving the princess. Mario then attempts one more thing: travelling around the whole world with it. SuperRhys217 is unsure about this, but opts to record it anyways. Mario then performs the backwards long jump in front of Peach's castle, but this backfires as Mario is also launched to Toontown, this time crashing into Wacki's house. SR217 looks in shock as UltraGamer8 gives the performance a score of 10.

Trivia

 * This is the first machinima made by Shyrx to:
 * Use Paper Mario as a source for footage.
 * Have both normal dialogue text and text boxes at the same time, a trait shared with the following blooper.
 * This blooper was originally going to be titled The Technical Technique, but was changed since it sounded too vague.
 * When Toad first appears, text saying "Toad #217 has logged in". The number 217 is an obvious reference to SuperRhys217.
 * In the video, Mario manages to backwards long jump on surfaces that would normally be impossible to BLJ on. This is because Kaze Emanuar's BLJ anywhere cheat was used.
 * This is one of the reboot bloopers to not be considered canonical, most likely due to continuity errors.
