60x "2" Presses, a small price to pay for Luigi.
Video Notes:
Underwhere is a unique segment as Mario is stripped from his pixls and from Peach and Bowser. Therefore, we are very limited when it comes to movement options. Luckily for us, Mario's items do carry over to this segment so I have some room to work with.
The main platforming room can be navigated surprisingly well with only one jump to cross the largest pit in the room. A huge issue comes from the puzzle segment of this chapter, the underwater switch puzzle. But I can avoid needing to swim by using LSJs to progress without needing the water raised.
This segment gives us Luigi, which you may think is a good thing but it's actually more troublesome as we then need to switch between Mario and Luigi to progress through the game; with each switch costing 2x "2 presses".
Most unfortunate is the swimming to get out of the river. There currently isn't a clean way to leave the river without swimming a handful of times, but by using a Poison Shroom to cancel Luigi's super jump, I can cut out several swim inputs. I also use a Life Shroom to prevent Luigi from dying from the Poison Shroom.

Challenge Notes:
This is the Super Paper Mario: 2 Button Challenge. The goal of the challenge is to beat Super Paper Mario while pressing the "2 button" as few times as possible. "Beating" Super Paper Mario requires Mario and the other characters to reach the end credits. Any method is allowed.
What does the "2 button" do?
The "2 button" does all of the following:
-Jump
-Swim
-Answer a multiple-choice prompt
-Open the quick menu
-Select any item in a menu
-Enter passwords
Things that look like they need the "2 button" but can be accomplished with other buttons:
-Progress through dialogue ("1 Button")
-Selecting objects with Tippi ("A Button")
-Ground pounding with Thudley ("1 Button")
-Exiting free fall as Luigi ("1 Button")
Each video is only a segment of the larger run and does not consider individual level high scores. This means that the "2 press" count for the segment may not be the lowest "2 press" count possible if considered in isolation. However, the "2 press" count showcased in the video is the lowest "2 press" count with the full game in mind. This also means that each video should link seamlessly to the next video chronologically (more or less). Because we are looking at the full game, we also count any save prompts that appear after the chapter is over.
If you have any further questions, post them in the comment section and I'll try to get back to you.

A vertical puzzle level. What shenanigans will we pull this time?
Video Notes:
Being a strictly vertical level, 3-3 is a huge obstacle for the 2BC. Here, we see another trick with Thudley, Thudely Jumps, or TJs. Canceling Thudleys ground pound in the air allows 1 frame where Mario can flip midair, allowing Mario to jump midair. Chaining TJs allows for infinite height which is used here to skip certain puzzles in the tree. Other than abusing TJs, there isnt much in this level thats out of the ordinary.
2 Presses:
1 - To Thudley Jump (TJ) to the first set of hard blocks
2 - To TJ to the paratroopa
3 - To jump to the grass ledge with the Poison Cherbill
4 - To TJ to the set of hard blocks above the prize blocks

From: Odyssey (Mushroom Kingdom)
Leeched A/B Press: A Press #3 of Forever Onward, Captain Toad!
The Super Mario Odyssey A/B Button Challenge (Low-Cappy) is where we go through the game while pressing A or B as few times as possible. The Low-Cappy addition also limits the number of times we can throw Cappy. Note that A/B Presses are prioritized, meaning we will throw Cappy 100 times to save 1 A/B Presses, but not press A/B 100 times to save one Cappy Throw.
Other Rules:
You must play single player only, with no assist mode. You also must play with the recommended control scheme. (Two vertical joycons)
Q: What is a C Throw
A: A C Throw is short for Cappy Throw. We count a Cappy Throw every time we throw Cappy at something or have to stay in the air for a Cap Jump.
Q: Why A/B Presses?
A: In Mario Odyssey, the jump button is assigned to both A and B, so we use the notation, A/B Presses to account for both buttons at once.
Q: Are there half a presses in this game xdxd
A: Yeah, like Mario 64, a half a press is when you hold A from a previous a press that has not been shown in the video. There are various uses for a half a press that will be demonstrated later.
Q: What does From: mean?
A: Because in Odyssey you dont leave the level when you collect a Power Moon, each video will start where the previous video ended (or the previous video in the route). To avoid confusion, I always put the starting location or moon in the description.")

Time for an annoying water lev- wait why are we back at 3-1?
Video Notes:
3-2 marks the first underwater level. Unfortunately, this means I need to swim, a lot. Even with optimal swimming, getting around the level takes several 2 presses. This is where the return pipe becomes useful again. After getting Thudley, we return back to Flipside and replay 3-1 instead of backtracking up the long vertical shaft.
Speaking of Thudley, I now have access to a very useful jump replacement. Initiating a ground pound while on the ground brings Mario into the air completely 2less. This grounded Thudley jump doesnt go as high or far as a normal jump, but its still very useful for this challenge. With Thudley, we can go through 3-1 and the rest of 3-2 without needing to press 2 at all.

The craziest strats yet.
Video Notes:
This video is an improvement from my last video on Chapter 1-4 where I completed the chapter in 21x 2 Presses. You can find the video here: https://youtu.be/4RmH6Qw8hFE
Since then, three discoveries were made. Firstly, I realized that I could clear the second room without pressing 2. I accomplish this by using two damage boosts, one from the fire bar in the center of the room and another by the spawned megabite. I didnt use this strategy before because I didnt have the health needed to damage boost. This was solved with a planned level up (shown during setup). Do note that we still need the Life Shroom which takes 1x 2 Press but that will be shown in the 2-3 video.
The second discovery was in the red block puzzle room. I experimented with both hitting a block with Thoreau and jumping at the same time, but I didnt have good results. This was because Mario was throwing Thoreau too high. I then realized that Thoreaus height is in relationship to Marios speed. But if Marios speed is too low, he wont be able to land on the block. To finally accomplish this feat, I use skidding to both lower Marios speed and keep his momentum to land on the block while hitting the adjacent block with Thoreau. This is done twice to save 2x 2 presses.
The last, and most insane, discovery was during the Fracktail fight. Here, I use a double midair bounce to skip the second and third jumps needed to complete the fight. There are three variables that I needed to account for when doing this double midair bounce: Marios X position, Marios Y position, and the frame Mario lands on Fracktails antenna. The X position needs to be higher than -480 and the Y position needs to be higher than 1320 to damage Fracktail. Also, Mario must be in this position AFTER Fracktails body is completely flat for the hit to count. To achieve all these conditions, I manipulate the Frackles in the perfect position for the first midair bounce. For the second midair bounce, I use the home menu to lower the 3D meter to perfectly time 3D damage to perform the second midair bounce.
The rest of the strategies involve clever enemy positions and damage boosts that dont need further explanation.
This video features a modified view (at 11:54) to help better visualize the Fracktail fight. This is a zoomed-out perspective to better show what Mario is doing and how high he bounces in relation to Fracktail. This modified view also edits out the home menus for a more fluid viewing experience.

1 - To jump back to the platform with the door in the room with the spiky tromps
2 - To select the key to open the first locked door
3 - To select the key to open the second locked door

This route is no longer used due to the pathing in 1-4 being different, which makes the setup to get the life shroom no longer applicable in the form present in the video.
Normally a boring stage, we bring life back into 2-3!
Video Notes:
This video is an improvement from my last video on Chapter 2-3 where I completed the chapter in 23x 2 Presses. You can find the video here: https://youtu.be/MkXp-2MPCKM
Since then, a new way to skip Boomer in 2-1 was found. This method uses a Shell Shock rather than a Life Shroom. This opens the opportunity to use the Life Shroom we obtain in 1-4 somewhere else. Here, we use the Life Shroom to get to the ruby vault without needing Slim. That way, we can first, get the ruby vault, and then get the Slim instead of the opposite order. Doing things in this order allows us to only climb the first two floors of 2-3 once, saving 4x 2 presses. As a note, the Shell Shock method for Boomer Skip takes one additional 2 press over the Life Shroom method, so overall, this new route only saves 3x 2 presses.
Once again, this chapter is very short if you know the solution to the chapter. Here, we can skip the entirety of the chapter by pre-emptively knowing the password to the 1 million ruby vault. One thing to note is that we cannot just grind the ruby rooms for 1 million rubies to pay off the debt. This is because theres a cap of 18000 rubies for each run-through of the VIP room. Each time, we need to press 2 to initiate a run-through, which easily negates any 2 press saves by beating the chapter this way.

Challenge Notes:
This is the Super Paper Mario: 2 Button Challenge. The goal of the challenge is to beat Super Paper Mario while pressing the 2 button as few times as possible. Beating Super Paper Mario requires Mario and the other characters to reach the end credits. Any method is allowed.
What does the 2 button do?
The 2 button does all of the following:
-Jump
-Swim
-Answer a multiple-choice prompt
-Open the quick menu
-Select any item in a menu
-Enter passwords
Things that look like they need the 2 button but can be accomplished with other buttons:
-Progress through dialogue (1 Button)
-Selecting objects with Tippi (A Button)
-Ground pounding with Thudley (1 Button)
-Exiting free fall as Luigi (1 Button)
Each video is only a segment of the larger run and does not consider individual level high scores. This means that the 2 press count for the segment may not be the lowest 2 press count possible if considered in isolation. However, the 2 press count showcased in the video is the lowest 2 press count with the full game in mind. This also means that each video should link seamlessly to the next video chronologically (more or less). Because we are looking at the full game, we also count any save prompts that appear after the chapter is over.
If you have any further questions, post them in the comment section and Ill try to get back to you.
