Hitting this Block for 416 Years Crashes Paper Mario

I would not suggest attempting this without hacks...

Okay, let's be real here. Nobody's going to actually do this glitch. But I should note in this description that leaving the room after spawning the initial 3 blocks will reset the memory address responsible for counting the hits back to 0, and will flag the secret as "complete." In other words, this glitch would have to be done without going anywhere else in the game for 416 years.

The video itself explains the glitch in detail, but if you guys have any questions, let me know. I'll answer them as soon as possible. :)

This glitch was theorized and found by Bonecrusher1022, and this video wouldn't have been possible without Rain's help.

Jeez, I can't believe the devs would leave in an oversight like this. Shouldn't they test these things?

The year is 2432, I have finally crashed the paper Mario cartridge that has been passed down for generations. I now rule the British Empire.

[MAMAJUGO]

I bet you can crash it even faster with an actual hammer.

Got it, I’ll keep that in mind when I attempt this myself

People in 1603:

what happens if we hit this block for 416 years!?"

[tailsfoxboy]

that block musta' done something to piss you off.

My brother while we play paper mario: "You know if you hit that block 10 times, you get a super shroom. And if you hit it 100 times, you get an ultra shroom"
Me: "Wow! I never knew that! Do you get anything after?"
My dirty lying brother: "Nope, that's it."

Son, my time on this earth is done, there is not much time to explain but you need to keep hitting this block for me, and then your son after you and his son after that. I leave my legacy to you.

34/37 years into the glitch, and there is a storm and your power goes out

Old dude: I..I..I DID IT! IT CRASHED PAPER MARIO, AFTER 416 YEARS!

he can go 416 years to crash a game but I can't get a text back

[ithemans]

Let’s just hope that a power outage doesn’t happen for 416 years.

[SwankyBox]

Stop! Hammer time!
...for the next couple centuries.

[QuiteDan]

It's been 22 years, I can't believe Nintendo still hasn't patched this.

[ithemans]

Dad: Son, it’s time for bed!
Son: Please just let me finish hitting this block!
Dad: Alright.

[garrettoliva]

WHAT?! IT CRASHES?!
There go my plans for the next 416 years...

[warpsouls]

I think there are other reasons it would crash after 416 years
