From: Odyssey (Sand Kingdom)
The Super Mario Odyssey A/B Button Challenge (Low-Cappy) is where we go through the game while pressing A or B as few times as possible. The Low-Cappy addition also limits the number of times we can throw Cappy. Note that A/B Presses are prioritized, meaning we will throw Cappy 100 times to save 1 A/B Presses, but not press A/B 100 times to save one Cappy Throw.
Other Rules:
You must play single player only, with no assist mode. You also must play with the recommended control scheme. (Two vertical joycons)
Q: What is a C Throw
A: A C Throw is short for Cappy Throw. We count a Cappy Throw every time we throw Cappy at something or have to stay in the air for a Cap Jump.
Q: Why A/B Presses?
A: In Mario Odyssey, the jump button is assigned to both A and B, so we use the notation, A/B Presses to account for both buttons at once.
Q: Are there half a presses in this game xdxd
A: Yeah, like Mario 64, a half a press is when you hold A from a previous a press that has not been shown in the video. There are various uses for a half a press that will be demonstrated later.
Q: What does From: mean?
A: Because in Odyssey you dont leave the level when you collect a Power Moon, each video will start where the previous video ended (or the previous video in the route). To avoid confusion, I always put the starting location or moon in the description.")

Q: Why did you skip the cutscenes?
A: If you let the cutscenes play out, you actually waste more A/B Presses because you need to push the buttons to continue the dialogue.")

New Boomer Skip, oversights, and an amazing finish!
Video Notes:
This video is an improvement from my last video on Chapter 2-1 where I completed the chapter in 19x 2 Presses. You can find the video here: https://youtu.be/L6ce49jSWqI
Since then, three major differences and improvements were made. Firstly, Link the Pringles Man suggested that we can skip the 2 press needed to climb the second step in the mega star room by grabbing the koopa using the first 2 press in the room and using it to bounce over to the second step. At first, I dismissed this idea as I wasnt able to initially grab the koopa. However, I later realized that I can grab the koopa and then made a small route to bounce over to the second step, which saved a 2 press. Secondly, I use a new method of Boomer Skip. This time, I use a shell shock to hit the blue switch pre-maturely to skip the need to get Boomer. This method does take 3x 2 presses as opposed to the 2x 2 presses needed for the LSJ method, however, switching methods ultimately saves more 2 presses in the full game run by allowing us to use the Life Shroom in 2-3. This is why I use the shell shock method even though it adds an additional 2 press (see below). Lastly, I had the idea to skip needing to jump into the star block at the end by using a megabite. The megabite spawns after 3 minutes of idling in the final room. From there, I can lure the megabite underground and quickly reach the surface using a damage boost into the spring. Lastly, I stand under the star block and bounce into it as the megabite raises through the surface.
Chapter 2-1 introduces an interesting mechanic that may not see much use outside of this chapter: the return pipe. I use the return pipe to prevent backtracking through 2 press heavy areas. Here, I avoid needing to platform back through the background by going back to Flipside and re-entering Chapter 2-1. The reason why I dont use the return pipe more often is the 2 press cost. Using the return pipe takes 3x 2 presses which isnt ideal. However, in this situation, the 3x 2 press cost along with the extra 2 press needed to progress back to where I need to outweigh the 7x 2 presses needed to backtrack through the background.
This video features a pixl skip (Boomer in this case). Boomer is one of 5 pixls that are skippable in Super Paper Mario. This is because if we manage to beat the intended chapter without gaining the pixl, the game gives the pixl to you after the chapter is over in a short dialogue sequence.
2 Presses:
1 - To open the quick menu
2 - To switch to Peach
3 - To select the key to open the first locked door
4 - To platform in the background to reach the blue switch
5 - To platform in the background to reach the blue switch
6 - To platform in the background to reach the blue switch
7 - To platform in the background to reach the blue switch
8 - To select the Important Items menu
9 - To select the return pipe
10 - To confirm returning to Flipside
11 - To jump to the beginning tree tops
12 - To climb the first step in the mega star room
13 - To open the quick menu
14 - To switch to Mario
15 - To open the quick menu
16 - To select the shell shock
17 - To jump to get the height to throw the shell shock into the blue switch
18 - To save the game
Challenge Notes:
This is the Super Paper Mario: 2 Button Challenge. The goal of the challenge is to beat Super Paper Mario while pressing the 2 button as few times as possible. Beating Super Paper Mario requires Mario and the other characters to reach the end credits. Any method is allowed.
What does the 2 button do?
The 2 button does all of the following:
-Jump
-Swim
-Answer a multiple-choice prompt
-Open the quick menu
-Select any item in a menu
-Enter passwords
Things that look like they need the 2 button but can be accomplished with other buttons:
-Progress through dialogue (1 Button)
-Selecting objects with Tippi (A Button)
-Ground pounding with Thudley (1 Button)
-Exiting free fall as Luigi (1 Button)
Each video is only a segment of the larger run and does not consider individual level high scores. This means that the 2 press count for the segment may not be the lowest 2 press count possible if considered in isolation. However, the 2 press count showcased in the video is the lowest 2 press count with the full game in mind. This also means that each video should link seamlessly to the next video chronologically (more or less). Because we are looking at the full game, we also count any save prompts that appear after the chapter is over.
If you have any further questions, post them in the comment section and Ill try to get back to you.
