I collect the star Plunder in the Sunken Ship in Jolly Roger Bay using 0.5 A presses. The A press is so that I can do a little kick into the wall of the ship, allowing me to fall down near the star box.
This video is an improvement from my previous video in which I collected this star in 1 A press. You can find that video here: http://youtu.be/fdYAXENWsUs. Since then, thanks to Gaehne D.'s suggestion, I discovered that a small kick into the wall of the ship provided enough horizontal mobility to collect the star. Simply falling down (using 0 A presses) doesn't provide quite enough horizontal distance, so I had to use 0.5 A presses.
If you're wondering about the half A press, read this before commenting to ask why. I use a special notation that allows for half A presses. Specifically, if you enter a level already holding the A button, then that A press only counts as half. It's actually pretty important to distinguish between the A button being PRESSED and the A button being HELD. While pressing A allows Mario to execute several kinds of jumps, the holding of A allows Mario to swim in water, do little kicks up slopes, grab the owl, and twirl slowly. So if a star requires the A button to be held, the pressing of the A button could have been done at some point in the past, and just held until that moment. For instance, let's say there are two stars: one that requires the A button to be pressed (x1 A presses), and another that only requires the A button to be held (0.5 A presses). Individually, these stars would both require a full A press. But if these stars were collected one after the other, then the A button could be pressed during the former, and held all the way through to the next star to be used in the latter. In this manner, these stars together would only use 1 A press, whereas they would take 2 A presses if done individually. So during a 120 star run, you would round these half A presses down, but on a star-by-star basis you would round them up.

I collect the star Through the Jet Stream in Jolly Roger Bay using 1 A press. The A press is to jump to the star inside the jet stream. Note that if I simply waited out the metal cap directly under the star, I would be pushed out sideways, and thus I would not collect the star.
This video is an improvement from my previous video in which I collected this star in 2 A presses. You can find that video here: http://youtu.be/SpFhu-2Jx-g. Since then, I discovered that I could dive-recover from the rock onto the metal cap, and then ground pound to open it. This was thanks to Gaehne D., who suggested I may be able to AB-kick the box open from on top of the rock if I had enough speed. This didnt end up working, but then I realized that with enough speed, I may be able to just get on top of the box.
Note that I use pausing in order to press B on two consecutive in-game frames, the first B to dive and the second B to recover. This is necessary for avoiding dust frames, and thus conserving the most speed during the air time.

I collect the star Coins Amassed in a Maze in Rainbow Ride using 1 A press. The A press to get past the large glass box that the carpet passes through. This is necessary so that I can ride the carpet long enough to get to the top of the red coin maze. From there, I descend the maze strategically so as to collect every red coin.
This video is an improvement from my previous video in which I collected this star in 2 A presses. You can find that video here: http://youtu.be/L4FRU92nQBA. Since then, I discovered two helpful techniques. The first was to use the elevator to ride back up to the top of the maze after collecting a red coin. The second was to use Marios slide recover to cross large horizontal gaps in the maze, which can be seen more slowly at the end of the video. The second of these slide recovers requires a HUGE amount of precision in spacing and timing to get it to work!

I collect the star Seek the 8 Red Coins in Big Boos Haunt using 1.5 A presses. The first A press is to allow for little kicks to be done, which assists in collecting the 2 red coins on top of the bookshelves. Specifically, these kicks allow me to bounce on the boos consistently enough to transport them, move while facing a specific direction, and jump without needing enough speed to dive. The second A press is to jump from the top of the staircase to the second floor.
While I cant formally argue that the first A press is necessary, it would be extraordinarily difficult to execute the boo-bookend bounce to collect the red coin without the precision that the A press allows, as described earlier. But of course, in an ABC run, 1.5 A presses would be truncated to 1 A press, so its not a big deal.
If youre wondering about the half A press, read this before commenting to ask why. I use a special notation that allows for half A presses. Specifically, if you enter a level already holding the A button, then that A press only counts as half.
