Let's quickly look through what there is:
Wired was kind enough to link us to a tutorial of how the technique works. That could be useful.
Houston Press adds that a player named Xiah figured out how to use the glitch to beat the game without any stars. The line "tap A to make Mario repeatedly jump upon landing. Done right, this allows Mario to pass through walls" is a neat in-text description of the backwards long jump, btw. Lastly,
geek, a source not currently used in the article, is sadly more of a minor mention. I feel like in reliable sources, there's just too little to go on. Perhaps a Wiktionary definition would be more use. Currently, the article is using some community-driven websites like sm64.com and TASVideo. Though it's great that these people are working so hard to learn everything there is to know about Super Mario 64, they're all
primary sources at best. To see if a topic is
notable, we need to see secondary sources talking about them in depth, whether it's in the form of news articles or whole books on the topic. Huh, I would love to read such a book.. Ahem, anyway, I'm afraid this article itself should be redirected to the Mario speedrunning page. ~

Redirect - No independent notability outside of the redirect target (the game itself). There's not much more than a sentence or two worth of info when you remove the trivial and poorly sourced content. Better as a mention in the redirect target.
