Sidney600SR | SMSR - Break Through the Floor - 0x A Presses @sidney600sr | Uploaded May 2017 | Updated October 2024, 51 minutes ago.
I collect the star "Break Through the Floor" using 0x A Presses. This is an improvement over Maplestrips run where he collected this star using 2x A Presses. You can find that video here: youtu.be/w0gFHRMog2Q
Since then Notchmath made me aware of a HSW spot right near the spawn, that can be used to build up a ton of speed. What do we need this speed for? Well to clip directly into the star spot. Unfortunately it comes at a cost, we have to build up speed for almost two hours as we need around -40000 speed to clip through to a spot where Mario can stand. Pretty cool strat though, nevertheless.

Now the amount of A presses in this level seems huge, and that is well because it is. This level has so few things to work with that saving A presses in this one is almost impossible. This is least amount of A presses Ive managed so far to reach the very top. 11 A presses in 13 seconds, too bad...
A presses are as follows:
#1-#4: To get to the floating platform
#5: To longjump from the platform to get to the balcony
#6-8: To get to the pipe
#9-11: To get to the the top of the level

A is being held the entire video.
Really simple one this, hadnt realized until really recently that you can simply AB-kick your way up the last slope... lol, still the quest for 0x continues, as that is still an improvement.

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.
