The Endless Staircase is a section of the 3rd/2nd floor in the video game Super Mario 64. The section is self explanatory; the game makes it seem as if the stairs are infinite. This effect only wears off if you collect 70 stars, the minimum amount required to reach the final boss. The game achieves the endless effect by warping the player backwards by a certain amount, keeping in check with the brick texture and pictures of Bowser on the wall. However, if one wishes to bypass the endless stairs, they must perform what is called a BLJ, short for Backwards Long Jump. To perform a BLJ: 1. Position Mario facing away from the stairs. 2. Hold Z down while moving forward and press A 3. Immediately move the stick facing toward the stairs and repeatedly press A in a fast manner 4. Keep pressing A until Mario begins to gain tremendous amounts of speed. After that, wait until you are at the top of the staircase. The reason this works is that Nintendo (the developers of Super Mario 64) forgot to cap Mario's backwards speed.
