The 'Backwards Long Jump' (often abbreviated as BLJ) is a legendary glitch from Super Mario 64 used by speedrunners to bypass entire sections of the game. By rapidly jumping backward on stairs or slopes, Mario accumulates negative velocity, eventually moving so fast he phases through solid objects—most famously the 'Endless Stairs' leading to Bowser. In meme culture, the BLJ represents moving at impossible speeds, avoiding responsibilities, or chaotic energy accompanied by Mario's staccato voice clips. It serves as a visual metaphor for bypassing obstacles through sheer, glitchy momentum and has become a staple of gaming history humor.
