Navigate to the “Load” > “Textures” folder in Dolphin. Download the TTYD Relit texture pack (by “Ry” modder, version 4.1). This pack upscales all textures via AI, redraws the UI in 4K, and fixes paper edge-bleed.

This is the crown jewel. In v1.00, the loading zones between Rogueport’s sewers and the main plaza are airtight. In v1.01, a specific frame-perfect "Yoshi Charge" into a wall corner causes a memory dereference error. Mario doesn't just clip through the wall—he loads the credits room. In 2023, a runner named "RyBestFan" used this to beat the game in 11 minutes and 42 seconds. Nintendo called it "an exploit." The community called it "art."
