I collect the Bianco 4 Shine without pressing the A button, using only the Hover Nozzle.
While getting all 8 red coins is fairly easy, the Shine spawns on a platform that I thought was way out of reach. Usually the only ways off a tightrope are to jump off using A and to let go using B. The former is obviously not possible in an ABC context, and the latter just makes you drop straight down with no way to do anything until you land on the ground below.
However, this rope has Wire Traps that we can use to our advantage: jumping or falling onto them usually causes a fire bounce, and by swinging around the rope near one of them, we can trigger the same effect (though less consistently). The fire bounce gives Mario enough vertical momentum to make it onto the Shine platform.

I collect the Ricco 8 Shine without pressing the A button, using only the Spray, Hover and Rocket Nozzles.
The first step is getting the Rocket Nozzle, and from a specific Nozzle Box at that. Since I haven’t unlocked the Rocket Nozzle yet, I need to get to the highest box, and I do this by following the route I already used in Ricco 3 and 4. (In a full run, the Rocket Nozzle could be unlocked in either of those episodes for more convenient access in this one.)
Once I have the Rocket Nozzle, I use rocket storage to shoot to the coconut tree, then to the Shine platform with a coconut. Finally, I use the coconut to clip through the cage, and shoot a final rocket to grab the Shine. The clip was discovered by Goldfire.

I collect the Box Game 1 Shine without pressing the A button, using only the Hover Nozzle.
When Mario ground pounds a crate, he technically lands before the crate breaks. This sequence of events interrupts the ground pound and puts Mario in a falling state. I take advantage of this to save time by immediately hovering from one crate to the next without touching the ground.

I collect the Ricco 4 Shine without pressing the A button, using only the Hover Nozzle.
Continuing the route from Ricco 3, I find a beam that lets me reach the top of the tower without A presses. I nearly died twice but it’s actually pretty easy to navigate this secret area, as the rotation of the platforms always lets you stand higher than the platform you want to dive onto. There are only two simple guidelines to follow: recover from each dive as soon as possible (otherwise you obviously end up sliding off) and always dive onto the rising side of a platform (because it gives you more time to recover).
