I collect both the 100 coin star and the star Elevate for 8 Red Coins in Hazy Maze Cave using 1 A press. Individually, the 100 coin star requires 1 A press, and Elevate for 8 Red Coins requires 1 A press. That makes a total of 2 A presses, whereas collecting them together only requires 1 A press. Thus, I recommend combining these two stars, as it is the optimal strategy. The A press is to jump off of a pole so that I can get to the automatic elevator in the red coin room.
Originally, I believed it to be impossible to ground pound the blue coin block without pressing A. The core dilemma is that Mario has to fall off of a ledge and end up above the blue coin block (you can't dive recover because that doesn't allow for ground pounding). The problem was the lack of useable ledges. For instance, I considered having Mario fall off of the blue coin block itself, bounce on a swooper, and then be back above the block. The problem was that the block was so low that Mario did not become airborne after walking off of it -- he just went instantly onto the ground. I also considered the ledge where the blue coin block's platform drops off into the shallow gas infested area (where I bounce in this video), and having Mario fall off of that ledge onto swoopers to get above the blue coin block. But the problem with this ledge was that swoopers could never get low enough for Mario to fall off of that ledge onto them. It wasn't until Gaehne D. messaged me with a new idea, saying that: "There is this small shelter in the wall! You may make use of the bats and this flying shy-guy thing there to climb that shelter. After that you need to somehow fall off from the shelter onto another bat or two to bounce further onto the blue coin switch to pound it with Z." However, I calculated that the highest swooper wasn't high enough for Mario to get into the alcove (that alcove is actually higher than the other two), and so I deemed it impossible. However, today I realized that the snuffit, if it's fully blown up, provides just enough height for Mario to reach the alcove! So that's what I do in this video.
One additional note is that this strategy does not allow the Hazy Maze Cave 100 Coin star to be collected in 0 A presses by itself. The problem is that the technique used to ground pound the blue coin block in 0 A presses uses 3 swoopers, and so there are not enough swoopers left to get to the Navigating the Toxic Maze alcove, which has vital coins in it for the 100 coins. So to ameliorate this, I combine the 100 coin star with the red coin star, since the red coin star provides more than enough additional coins.

I complete the level Bowser in the Sky while also collecting the red coin star using 4 A presses. The A presses are as follows:
A press #1: to cross the first two gaps in the beginning platforms
A press #2: to cross the third gap in the beginning platforms
A press #3: to jump up to collect the red coin near the flame shooters
A press #4: to jump off the pole near the goombas
This video is an improvement from my previous video in which I did this in 5 A presses. You can find that video here: http://youtu.be/dvZwcGd7P5w. Since then, I figured out how to collect the red coin above the arrow platform without using any A presses, thanks largely to Gaehne D. who suggested the basis for this new strategy. The strategy I use involves 11 goombas, whose purposes are to allow Mario to bring a goomba clone back to the pole as well as allow Mario to cross the gap as many times as needed.
Getting off of the pole proved to be a very difficult task. My original idea was to have Mario press Z off of the pole, and then bounce on enough goomba clones so that he could make it to the near platform. However, Marios horizontal speed is so slow when he lets go of a pole that this would require several goomba clones to bounce on, in turn requiring an exorbitant amount of goomba clones to bring those goomba clones over there. In the end, I realized that if Mario were instead injured off of the pole, he would have a substantial horizontal speed, so it came down to having Mario get injured onto a goomba to bounce off of.
But even after devising this plan, it was difficult to execute. I needed to leave the goomba clone far enough away from the pole so that Mario could climb up past it, but then have the regular goomba push the clone close enough so that Mario could come into contact with it. Furthermore, the angle at which Mario gets knocked back is directly related to which side of the pole the goomba clone is on, and only a very small sector of angles allow Mario to get up (for all other angles, Marios knockback lasts long enough for him to fall off the edge). Thus, I needed the regular goomba to push the goomba clone precisely and to fall down himself. I was able to manipulate this goombas patterns somewhat by doing random pole climbings (as seen at 3:40), but it largely came down to luck.
Note: To avoid having to do redo the 63-goomba strategy, this video is a hybrid of two videos, and I switch between them while holding the bob-omb (at 4:09). Nevertheless, the strategy I employ is completely possible to do in a single run.
The song I used was a remixed version of Sword Lords remix of the William tell Overture, which can be found at: http://youtu.be/P7svUxY2Gns.

I collect the star Roll into the Cage in Tick Tock Clock using 2 A presses. The first A press is to jump to the platform next to the cogs with the bob-omb. The second A press it to jump up to collect the star.
This video is an improvement from my previous video in which I collected this star in 3 A presses. You can find that video here: http://youtu.be/BeVRvRlAK6E. Since then, I worked out a new strategy that saves an A press using the bloated bob-omb momentum glitch.
You see, when Mario holds a bloated bob-omb (whether normally or hands free), then he will have a constant backwards momentum. I take advantage of this momentum by having it push Mario during his ground pounds to help ascend the cogs. Then from the highest cog, I use the momentum to cross the gap to the cog near the cage. From there, I can enter the cage and collect the star using only one more A press.
This maneuver was extremely tedious to pull off. Marios moves are very limited when maintaining a bloated bob-omb, since he is expected to grab it as soon as it starts to blow up again. This doesnt leave very much time or freedom to angle himself properly, since he must always be facing the bob-omb to pick it up again. Furthermore, the constant backwards momentum can be very difficult to control. Since the cogs have such a small surface area, Mario can basically never have his back towards the edge, since he would be pushed off to his demise. The bob-omb actually has 4 bloated sizes, ranging from small to large, with larger sizes yielding greater momentum. Thus, I used smaller sizes when trying to angle and position Mario (since they allowed for more control), and used bigger sizes when ascending the cogs and crossing gaps (since only they provided sufficient momentum to do so).

I collect the 100 coin star in Hazy Maze Cave using 1 A press. The A press is to jump up to slam on the blue coin block.
I spent a lot of time formulating this route, as you can see in the diagrams below. I drew a graph of the different sections of HMC with their respective coin counts and the # of A presses to cross between them. I soon came to a problem, which was that in the maze, I needed 3 bats to reach the alcove, 1 bat to reach the highest blue coin, and 1 bat to leave. However, this required 5 bats, and was thus impossible. Eventually, I discovered that I could use a bat to get back onto the balcony from the rolling rock alley. This meant that I didnt need a bat to exit the maze, since I could collect the lake coins before entering the maze and just end in the maze.
I finally figured out how to reach the alcove purely by bouncing on the bats. See, there are 3 levels that the bats will fly at (see Swooper Levels below). The bats start at the low level by default. They can get to a medium level by flying onto the blue coin block platform or the montey mole platform. Then they can get to the high level by flying onto the ramp leading up to the exit. Mario needs to bounce on a bat from all 3 levels in order to reach the alcove. Recently, I discovered that a bat will respawn only when you leave both it AND its starting location (see Double Radius Principle below). So, instead of following the bats around, I could just wait at their starting locations until they aligned in front of the alcove purely by chance. Since I didnt have to follow them around, this meant I didnt have to worry about Mario dying from the toxic gas, or about the bats diverging and Mario being unable to accompany both. Instead, I just waited patiently for the RNG to do its thing.
