![]() The leading theory is that this bit flip was caused by a cosmic ray event, though the likelihood of such an event is exceedingly rare. Testing by seems to indicate that this may have been due to a single-bit change to Mario’s height value, from C5837800 to C4837800, leading to the plucky Italian plumber warping upwards through the level. ![]() The flip happened to, who suddenly found Mario flying upward to a higher part of a level, completely unexpectedly. However, it seems just such a ray happened to flip a crucial bit that assisted a speedrunner in the middle of a competition. We’ve all heard about cosmic rays flipping bits here and there, but by and large, it occurs rarely enough that we don’t worry too much about it on a day-to-day basis.
