SM64SR-# | Super mario star road - Big Boo's Tower (1x A press) @SR-1 | Uploaded November 2023 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
I collect "Big Boo's Tower" in 1x A press. This is a TAS
This was previously done in 1.5x A presses by myself: youtu.be/MaN2qQgGHoo?si=ZXouiPR-4wYnTji-
Since then, I developed the strat you see in this video where I get one boo onto the first step via rapid home oscillation (rho) and Boo height manipulation (bhm), and another one next to step via rho, that I use to get Mario onto the first step. After that I freefall onto the lower Boo from the first step and the received height allows me to bounce on the higher Boo and that gives me just barely enough height to ledgegrab the second step. If the Boo would've been just 1 unit lower this wouldn't have been possible.
This doesn't reduce the total 130 star A press count, since it's just a half A press save.

I collect the Replica star in Puzzle of the Vanish Cap in 2x A presses. This is TAS
This was previously done in 3x A presses by Justin Kastler: https://youtu.be/UAzjttcBvlE
Since then, I found many improvements in Gloomy Garden using Boo bounce chains. I wondered if this technique was also applicable here so I decided to give it a try. To my surprise it was actually possible to save one A press using this strat.
Before you ask in the comments, yes, I know it seems possible to do this in 1x A press, and yes, its also very likely but it will take some time and effort because I somehow need to get about 50 units higher on the final boo bounce and also the boos would have to be in a better position.
This reduces the total 130 star A press count from 97 to 96
