pannenkoek2012 | SM64 - Tick Tock Clock 100 Coins & Stop Time for Red Coins - 0x A Presses @pannenkoek2012 | Uploaded 10 years ago | Updated 1 day ago
I collect both the 100 coin star and the star Stop Time for Red Coins in Tick Tock Clock using 0 A presses. Although these stars both require 0 A presses individually, it takes an A press to enter Tick Tock Clock. Thus, it is better to collect theses two stars at the same time so that Mario only needs to jump into the course once, and thereby save an A press implicitly. Thus, I recommend combining these two stars, as it is the optimal strategy.
This video is an improvement from my previous video in which I collected the 100 coin star and another star in 9 A presses. You can find that video here: youtube.com/watch?v=dWtFLKTTF7k. Since then, I've realized I could clone coins by bringing fake bob-ombs up the rotating platforms if I entered the course at 6.

I complete the level Bowser in the Sky using 4 A presses. The A presses are as follows:
A press #1: to jump up the first two platforms at the beginning
A press #2: to jump up the third platform at the beginning
A press #3: to jump from the rotating elevator to the platform with chuckya on it
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 6 A presses. You can find that video here: http://youtu.be/UGAn4pkl9dE. Since then, I figured out how to eliminate two more A presses, described below.
The first A press I eliminated was at the beginning, while jumping up the 3 platforms. Thanks to the persistence of wizdoodle and Gaehne D., I figured out a way to cross the 3 gaps in the beginning using only 2 A presses. One double jump can provide sufficient height and distance if you first stutter on the edge (to bypass the single jump) and then jump with a kick. Its tricky to do, but possible.
The second (and more prominent) A press that I eliminated was the A press to get into the warp pipe. After weeks of testing and strategizing (during which I discovered the mystery goomba!), I finally formulated an optimal route for using goombas to get into the warp pipe. Like my original goomba bridge, I use several goombas, each one relying on previous goombas in order to be placed at a greater distance. Because of this, the number of goombas required is exponential. My original plan required over 100 goombas, but through meticulous testing, I narrowed it down to just 63. Here is a table I made and used to help keep track of what each goomba does and where precisely it should be released: http://imgur.com/hV8l4Mg. With so many goombas required, precise placement is crucial so that their hitboxes dont get lost. By the end, I had so many goombas that the graphics started glitching out (7:23) if I looked at them all at once (and hence, why I used slightly odd camera angles towards the end). This could also result in temporary/permanent loss of the HUD (which is why the star counter disappeared by the end).
It is worth noting that 63 is not actually the minimum number of goombas required. Instead, my strategy used additional goombas for the sake of convenience, which are as follows:
50 goombas - to get into the warp pipe
2 goombas - to get the red coin under the stairs
7 goombas - as sacrifice goombas that hurt Mario once thrown (Mario could bypass these goombas by releasing the first one of a section using a less traditional method, like getting squished, but I wanted the spacing to be perfect)
4 goombas - to avoid having to push a goomba around while carrying a goomba clone (at several points I had to push goombas using other goombas, and this would be very hard to do while holding a clone, due to the lack of acceleration, quick turning, and ability to knock into the goombas)
Note: To avoid having to do this goomba strategy twice (once with the red coins, once without red coins), this video is a hybrid of two videos, and I switch between them while Im climbing the pole (at 1:04). Nevertheless, the strategy I employ is completely possible to do in a single run.
.m64 stats:
Duration = 2 hours and 2.3 minutes
Re-records = 35534
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 go to Bowser in the Sky (from Wing Mario Over the Rainbow) using 1 A press.
This video is an improvement from my previous video in which I did this in 2 A presses. You can find that video here: http://youtu.be/mlHzqJn2SMs?t=6m13s. Since then, I discovered that I could actually do it in 1 A press as long as I started out at either Wing Mario Over the Rainbow or Rainbow Ride. The technique I use is as follows. First, I get onto the second step using the bounce from a ZB. Then, I grind on the edge of the step and perform 4 consecutive dives to build up enough speed so that my double jump has enough height to reach the top floor. Performing this feat requires a very precise positioning and angle to start with, and then requires very precise inputs to do the dives. So, it was pretty difficult to do!
For the record, during the stunt I maintained an angle between 39596 and 39742 and my speed during the 4 dives respectively was 16.5, 31.7, 44.9, and 48.1.

I complete the level Bowser in the Sky while also collecting the red coin star using 9 A presses. The A presses are as follows:
A press #1: to jump up the first platform at the beginning
A press #2: to jump up the second platform at the beginning
A press #3: to jump up the third platform at the beginning
A press #4: to jump from the rotating elevator to the platform with chuckya on it
A press #5: to jump up to collect the red coin near the flame shooters
A press #6: to jump up to collect the red coin near the arrow platform; to get onto one of the obstacles that blocks the path above the arrow platform
A press #7: to jump off the pole near the goombas
A press #8: to jump out of the little ditch with the 8th red coin right before Bowswer
A press #9: to jump into the warp pipe
This video is an improvement from my previous video in which I collected this star in 10 A presses. You can find that video here: http://youtu.be/YtF9FsCSSog. Since then, I figured out that you can use a goomba to bounce across the gap in the back-and-forth bridge. This requires Mario to dive towards the goomba, land for a single frame (so as to be in an upright position, but only one frame so as to not lose speed), and then bounce on the goomba (that had just fallen off the platform). This bounce must also occur somewhat deep on the bridge so that the other side of the bridge comes closer during Marios air time.
