Wait it wasn't??
Do you have any followup in this?
- Basically there's no proof
  I watched this a while ago so I can't remember everything, but I think essentially it boils down to someone having suggested the idea that it could have been a cosmic ray and the idea was propogated by memes and YouTubers as fact, even though there's no proof and the odds of it being a cosmic ray are astronomically small, pun intended.
  
  Thanks, I just remember the Bounty and then later Veritasium also doing a video about cosmic rays. I remember the chances actually being surprisingly high, considering how much memory is actually used nowadays and wondering why it hasn't happened much more in different systems. So I waved it off due to ECC etc. taking effect most of the time. This is certainly true, but I probably also got the numbers wrong. So I'm also gonna watch Veritasiums video again more critically now and do some research. It's a very interesting topic for me.
  
  I think it was confirmed that a single bit flip could have produced that effect, but it's a huge leap to say it must have been cosmic rays. It could just be a hardware fault.
- I want to belieeeve
  It's basically what @GandalftheBlack@feddit.org commented.
  Additional context for the title is that pannenkoek2012, pioneer of the A Button Challenge (ABC), put up a $1000 bounty for solving the Tick Tock Clock (TTC) upwarp, since techniques in gaining height is extremely valuable as we want to avoid pressing the A Button to jump. No one solved the TTC upwarp. However, solutions have been found for completing TTC without any A presses (0xA) so the TTC upwarp isn't needed anymore.
  The 0xA video is insane btw: https://youtu.be/98EpPsaAF_k
  
  And here are all the steps to do in order to do it! https://imgur.com/ZlnIgvw
- ping me when somebody elaborates pls
  
  Ping
  
  GandalftheBlack posted a good reply, check it out

Well this seems niche
OP, what's all this about?
- Claim that a bit flip (from 0-1) from a cosmic ray enabled a SuperMario64 runner to glitch through the ceiling.
  Video of someone ~~alledgedly~~ recreating the bitflip here with side by side comparison: https://youtube.com/watch?v=X5cwuYFUUAY
  Veritasium video about cosmic rays causing unexepected issues with computer memory which I think popularised this case: https://youtube.com/watch?v=AaZ_RSt0KP8
- Mario 64 speed run where a gamer managed to jump over a section allegedly thanks to a cosmic ray
  
  But wasn't it a cosmic ray? I don't get it?
  
  You have got to give us more than that. Come on, I need the Mario speedrun deep lore. Where do I go to find a two hour long video essay about this specific speedrun where at least an hour is spent talking about parallel universes or some shit?
