In this video, I explain everything there is to know about the 255 coin limit and the 999 coin limit. Within a course, your coin score can go up to 999 and will then stop. But when it saves, it will only save the lower 8 bits of your coin score, and so the coin score that gets saved is your coin score within the course modulo 256. Consequently, the maximum coin score that can be saved is 255.
I then go through the courses and explain what the maximum coin score would be within each of them.
At the end, I show a glitch I found that works as follows: if you clone a bob-omb and release it as the bob-omb is exploding, the bob-omb will walk around in an enlarged state.

The annoying part about this for Pannen is that every time he exits a course, his KZhead name gets changed to "pannenkoek220".
Well, assuming the pannenkoek trinary name limit only saves 4 trits, He has a maximum saved trinary name value of 80 (Shout out to PC Simo). Assuming he wants to come back and do his next video with his original name we can calculate how many times he would need to exit a course for pannenkoek2012 to bring us another video. If only we had the number for the amount he already has exited a course ,we could approximate the next time he would become pannenkoek2012 again. naturally this wouldn't take very long but i guess the reason for his delay is that his whole name:pannenkoek2012 is a part of an even bigger 29 cypher name value system. TLDR: He might be trapped in Pannenkoek Limbo!

I'll be completely honest. I think this video is what sparked my interest in Computer Science when I was a kid. I'm getting close to graduating high school now and I just wanna write a personal lil thank you note to Pannen for influencing the start of my journey into adulthood
I remember watching this video as a high school student. Now I'm about to graduate with a masters degree, not in comp sci but still a STEM field with some coding/scripting needed. Crazy how random YT videos can spark an interest in you.

If you really still can't understand it even after hearing Pannen's explanation, then I don't know what to tell you, dude. Here's another example that'll hopefully make things a bit clearer: In decimal, 1234 = (1*(10^3)) + (2*(10^2)) + (3*(10^1)) + (4*(10^0)); or, 1000 + 200 + 30 + 4 = 1234. In binary, 1111 = (1*2^3) + (1*2^2) + (1*2^1) + (1*2^0); or, 8 + 4 + 2 + 1 = 15. Did that help?
Well, this clears up 2 things for me: why you could only have 256 colors max in older games, and why if someone has hacked their HP in Dark Souls to be infinite and then they get knocked off a ledge, 65535 is the number shown as how much damage they took.

I love these videos. They are brutally dissecting SM64, and spills polygon blood all over the floor, because this is no autopsy, the game is still very much alive. The shallow arteries and veins in the throat area are still carrying blood, pumped by a heart that transforms the oxygen that the lungs are refining from yellow, red and blue coins. Thus, when the scalpel carves into the soft, slightly pixelated skin, the red liquids come gushing out in a pulsating manner, because there is no death. There is only the green mushrooms. The videos are also very well explained, which is always a welcome thing.
