Definitely not viable for a full game run until a better Eye Rock bounce setup is developed. The current one works about 1/4 of the time with practice.

We experience the pain of playing a space shooter without the shooting part.
Video Notes:
4-4 is a straightforward chapter with several uses of Thudley Jumping to get around, but not in ways you might expect. Outside of what weve seen before, there are two cases during this chapter where we use Thudley unexpectedly.
The first is when I need to backtrack after getting the second key. I can only leave the room when the gravity is normal, so I have to find a way to ascend to the higher floor without jumping. Doing a grounded Thudley jump doesnt bring Mario high enough so it seems impossible. However, Mario can bounce off of the Tileoids from any side, regardless of whether they are on the ceiling. So I flip in midair using Thudley to clip into the ceiling and bounce off of a Tileoid to make it the rest of the way up to the door.
The second case is when I need to flip gravity using a gravity block. Normally, Mario cannot activate a gravity block using a grounded Thudley jump. However, if we do a grounded Thudley Jump in 3D then flip back to 2D while we are inside the block, we can activate it by falling through the block. This cannot be done in the room after selecting the second key as the gravity blocks are too high off the ground.
Lastly, I should mention the boss fight of this chapter, Brobot. Because the Brobot boss fight is supposed to be a side-scrolling shooter section, we cant easily damage Brobot as we cannot shoot (reminder that shooting requires the 2 button). Instead, we damage Brobot through ground pounding. This is incredibly slow as we need a barrier candy to prevent taking damage ourselves. I decided to speed up the boss fight for the sake of this video, but you can watch the full unedited boss fight in the unabridged version found here: https://youtu.be/aSR_sKQfapw

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.

After unlocking our final Pixl, we have a blast trying to manage our Pixl swaps!
Video Notes:
You might be wondering why I do not use Thudley for the first part of this segment. That is because I need to use Cudge twice to break open the two Cudge blocks to the heart pillar. Thudley would be able to cross most of the obstacles without needing to press 2, but switching to Thudley then back to Cudge would cost 4x 2 presses, and switching to Thudley would only save 3x 2 presses, so that route is suboptimal. This is why I need two Life Shrooms. Because I do not have Thudley as my active pixl, I cannot Thudley Jump, so I farmed for two Life Shrooms in 4-2 to perform two LSJs to navigate to the heart pillar in the fewest number of 2 presses. Once I break both Cudge blocks, however, I then switch back to Thudley and continue the segment as how you may expect.
2 Presses:
1 - To open the pixls menu
2 - To switch to Cudge
3 - To jump to the pipe that leads to first floor Flopside
4 - To jump high in the air to set up the LSJ
5 - To LSJ over the pillar
6 - To LSJ over to the Cudge block and heart pillar
7 - To open the pixls menu
8 - To switch to Thudley
9 - To TJ back over the pillar

Who needs minecarts when you have legs of steel?
Video Notes:
5-3 is split into four main segments. The first segment is to find the camera guy. This segment is straightforward but we do not ride the minecart. This is because I need to press 2 to confirm the minecart ride and press 2 again after the minecart ride to recover from the knockback at the end. This is why I forgo the minecart, even though I need to thudley jump over the rails.
The second segment is a lot more interesting. To get the mic man, I need to go across the tracks, but this time large stalactites block Mario from trespassing without the minecart. So I simply just ride the minecart both ways. Getting to the mic man involves some clever positioning of the headless Floro Sapiens. I visit the room twice, once to activate the ladder block and the second to actually get to the mic man. This is because I need to reload the enemies to successfully navigate the room.
The third segment is to get back to Flint Cragley after retrieving his crew. I get poisoned along the way, which is very intentional. This is because I need to bounce off of a buzzy beetle that falls from the ceiling. Normally, a grounded Thudley jump doesnt bring Mario far enough horizontally to make the gap, but with a well-timed poison damage to cancel the ground pound, Mario can make it to the buzzy beetle.
The last segment is straightforward and doesnt require any further explanation, though I do end the chapter with Cudge as I do not need Thudley at the start of 5-4. So even though I need to jump into the star block, the lack of a pixl swap makes this route optimal.

2 - To switch to Cudge
3 - To open the pixls menu
4 - To switch to Thudley
5 - To TJ over the large gap in the rail track
6 - To TJ over the large gap in the rail track
7 - To take a ride in the minecart
8 - To recover from the minecart knockback
9 - To take a ride in the minecart
10 - To recover from the minecart knockback
11 - To jump to the elevator
