I collect the star Stomp on the Thwomp in Tick Tock Clock using 8 A presses. The A presses are as follows:
A Press #1: to jump to the platform next to the cogs with the bob-omb
A Press #2: to jump to the platform with the pole
A Press #3: to jump off of that pole
A Press #4: to jump onto the lower one of the two rotating cubes
A Press #5: to double jump from the upper rotating cube to a platform
A Press #6: to triple jump into the wall
A Press #7: to wall kick off that wall to get onto a higher platform
A Press #8: to jump onto thwomp
This video is an improvement from my previous video in which I collected this star in 9 A presses. You can find that video here: http://youtu.be/zWcvsWOHODE. Since then, I figured out that I could use the bloated bob-omb glitch to get onto the walkway from the cage, which requires EXTREMELY precise maneuvering. Even in a controlled environment, this maneuver was very hard to execute, as it requires grabbing the bloated bob-omb on its fourth frame (when it is largest), landing on the ground to cancel out all vertical speed, and a very precise angle (~32000). But since I knew the position and angle I wanted Mario to get to, it was a matter of reverse engineering his path. In then end, I realized I needed to go to the right side of the cage first, and then back to the left side. This was crucial for clipping through the cage with the bob-omb. You see, having the bob-omb actually adjacent the left wall clips Mario through too early, not allowing him to grab the bob-omb to take with him. And having the bob-omb not close enough to the wall doesn't allow Mario to clip through at all. Only a very precise distance allows Mario to clip through while holding the bob-omb, and I took extensive measurements of my inputs in order to achieve this: http://imgur.com/QCOCl6s.

I collect the star A-Maze-ing Emergency Exit in Hazy Maze Cave using 0.5 A presses. The A press is to perform AB kicks on the rising elevators in order to maintain the hyper speed while going up.
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: https://youtu.be/l802xZp4TBY. Since then, Tyler Kehne discovered that hyper speed walking could be performed in the underground lake in order to accumulate 1500+ speed [https://youtu.be/EX2CCKfXBpc]. Additionally, Plush collaborated with Sonicpacker to figure out how to bring hyper speed up an elevator without losing too much of it [https://youtu.be/4e6neRw-32E]. Furthermore, Plush worked out a route for A-Maze-ing Emergency Exit that seemed promising, though he was unable to conserve enough speed to make it fully work [https://youtu.be/TXiXN0njdFg]. Finally, I came along and put everything together, managing to conserve enough speed to make the strat work.
I actually didnt know how much speed would be optimal, so I just got as much as I could (~1450). However, the out-of-bounds clip to the second elevator hallway turned out to have a speed cap, as bringing more than ~430 speed caused all my momentum to be lost. Consequently, I had to drastically reduce my speed at the top of the first elevator to comply with this speed limit. After this speed reduction, I had to be EXTREMELY conservative with what remaining speed I had, since I needed 236+ speed to initiate a successful launch to the star platform. Note that Mario cannot simply AB kick onto the star platform, since that move doesnt go high enough. Instead, he must launch fast enough to grab onto the ledge, and launching with anything less than 236 speed causes Mario to be too low to grab on by the time hes within grabbing-on distance.
So how does hyper speed walking work? It involves a steep slope that descends into water. Normally, Mario wouldnt be able to stand on a slope this steep, but the shallow water gives the ground special properties that allows him to do so. Furthermore, if Mario tries to run uphill on this ground, he will end up running backwards at an increasingly fast rate. Usually, this walking cant be used to accumulate all that much speed, because (1) the slope runs out, (2) the slope connects to a wall at angle that isnt 90 degrees and so running backwards into it moves Mario either uphill or downhill, or (3) Mario gains too much speed and can no longer properly follow along the shallow water. Of course, all of this was already known. What wasnt known (and what Tyler discovered) was that the red wall stops Mario from moving while allowing his backwards speed to increase.
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. Its 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, lets 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.
