DK64 A Button Challenge | Creepy Castle: Ballroom GB - 1xA @dk64abuttonchallenge86 | Uploaded January 2018 | Updated October 2024, 6 hours ago.
Why is this GB 1xA?:
The rocketbarrel is really far away from anything that can be used to reach it. Damage boosting is useless here since you can't enter a barrel in a damaged state. Enemy bouncing would be nice but enemies die far before the barrel actually spawns.
Of all the A presses in the game, I believe this one the most likely to be saved. If we can wrong grab a tag barrel at any point above the ballroom door in Castle that should be enough. A vase bridge can reach the rocketbarrel if we can switch from Chunky to Diddy inside.
Without a tag barrel, bringing in objects doesn't accomplish much. Diddy can't lift them. The rocketbarrel is so far away from anything else that additional lag isn't nearly enough.
This might be possible by wrong grabbing a rocketbarrel, but that has never been done before.

Every video on this channel assumes you've already completed some relevant subset of previous videos. Notably, every video will assume A is held from either starting the file or the previous press. Unless otherwise noted, the A button will -NEVER BE LET GO- during this run except immediately preceding another A press. This is because a held A button allows a lot of useful things such as buying moves, more potent dismounting, autojumping, faster swimming, rocketbarrel, and more. I will not be using the "0.5 A" notation because it does not add anything meaningful - as long as it takes an A press to start a file you can always have A held before a section.
