Return to Yoshi's Island 64 (DEMO) - HOLP Preservation using Invisibility debugging mode (IDM)
Invisibility debugging mode or IDM is one of four debugging features kaze forgot to delete when releasing the demo. Pressing left on the Dpad causes mario and the HUD to become invisible. While that might seem useless at first, it can be exploited because when mario is invisible the object he's holding will become invisible as well which causes the HOLP to stop updating itself.
This could be useful for Sunken 8 bit pipe, but I don't know for sure. Strange that I haven't thought of this before though...

this is hard
(And yes cheats for bljs are used but i dont care since this is not about building up speed but about the PU movement)")

I collect The Piano-playing Thwomps in 1x A press. This is TAS
This was previously done in 1.5x A presses by EverythingABC: https://youtu.be/iDGdvJ3yju4
Since then I discovered:
1. How to get to the white path from the harp in 0x a presses, by getting a wall push from the trumpet.
2. How to enter the cannon with the wing cap in 0x a presses, by divegrinding and better positioning.
This doesnt save any total A presses since its just a half A press save.

I collect Haunted ride for red coins in 5x A presses. This is TAS
This was previously done in 6x A presses by myself: https://youtu.be/JqzGUlZ3g8k
While TASing that strat, I already knew that it is probably possible to use the boos to save an A press on the end as well. Because this strat is really annonying and hard, I decided to finish the 6xA TAS first and then finish the 5xA TAS afterwards. After a week of manipulating boos, I finally managed to get them into the right position for the boo bounce chain to work and everything else was trivial.
Thank you Zerolin (https://youtube.com/channel/UCs7mynJlqrqJrh-ixcUFFPg) for telling me how the Cam hack works!
This reduces the total 130 star A press count from 100 to 99 (sub 100 party!)

I collect the secret star in Bowsers rainbow rumble in 2x A presses. This is a TAS
This was previously done in 4x A presses by galoomba: https://youtu.be/h3hJWb1wfow
Since then, Marbler (@supermarble94) discovered Chuckya Wrong Throw (CWT) and applied that technique to every star in c14 and c15 as well as BRR clear and BRR replica to lower those stars to 0xA. He didnt look at BRR secret though so since I recently learned how to do CWT I decided to take a look at this star and quickly found the solution you see in this video.
I should also note that I branched off Marblers upstairs TAS so everything from 0:00 to 0:42 was TASed by him
This reduces the total 130 star A press count from 71 to 69
