Super Mario 64 (N64)

Too quick

In Course 1, pick Star 2 so Koopa the Quick (KtQ) appears. Get the Wing Cap, then do a triple jump starting from just past the first cannon hole. What you're trying to do here is land from your second jump and take-off really close to KtQ. If you took off from the right spot, and if you land from your flight far enough away (at least past the first bridge), you'll get KtQ's race challenge message when you land. Accept it, and KtQ will never appear! If you mess up and get his message before you are able to take off, decline his request and start over.

Using this bug, you can watch the timer max out at 9'59"99, with the race music playing forever. You can also finish the "race" in zero seconds flat! Here's how: Take-off as explained above, then when you're flying, swing around and land right in the first cannon hole (press Z for an instant landing). Launch yourself to the sky island, and land in its cannon hole. From there, shoot yourself to the mountaintop, and land next to the flag. When you land, accept KtQ's race request. When the timer starts, it will immediately stop at 0'00"00 because you're already at the flag.
