Maplestrip | SMSR - The Missing Star - 0x A-presses @TheMaplestrip | Uploaded October 2016 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
"The Missing Star" in the level "Large Lead Forest" done without pressing A. This was really just a software test after my Sony Vegas stopped working for no reason. Watch me fail at this game! :p
Not TASed because I didn't feel like putting effort into this one ^_^;

TAS video, though not a particularly special one. I hope people can figure out how to save A-presses here. I still havent figured out how to reach the Bob-omb buddy without pressing A, though I am fairly sure that it shouldnt be too hard. I just picked the fastest route here.
Actually getting up on the tower is a whole different question entirely, and though Im sure some clever sole can save an A-press here as well, I have no idea how.
Watch the Goomba dance on the music at 0:12 ^_^
Edit: Sidney managed to save half an A-press!")

This is TAS, using five save points.
This is probably my proudest work thus far: getting Break into the Building in Chuckya Harbor in no more than two A-presses. Getting the three Goomba in place took me _way_ too long. Once I figured out how to break the bottom window without pressing A, I knew I had to try and pull it off, though!
The nice thing is that this means it currently takes one A-press to get on top of the building. We might be able to shave A-presses off of other stars this way, like getting red coins and getting the 100 coin star. I have no idea how useful this will be, but I am definitely going to keep my savestate :3
To sum up:
1 A-press is used to reach the first window.
1 A-press is used to break the second window, and simultaneously grab the star. Good thing the windows have no knock-back.
I wonder if there is a way to save the second A-press...")
