Of course Mario 64 was never at risk of actually dying, but things were close to getting messy there. As the video says there was a time when carpetless was possible for humans but extremely difficult to hit, they had a setup but it sucked. If they hadn't found the better setup, it likely would've resulted in a category split for 120 Star With Carpet, and 120 Star Carpetless.
