Getting the chuckya up there is possible 0x a but it doesn't matter because it doesn't seem to throw mario far enough.

I collect Haunted ride for red coins in 2x A presses. This is a TAS
First of all, massive shoutout to Marbler (@supermarble94) for TASing the Goomba manipulation at the beginning as well as the Goomba bounce to clear the first gap in order to save the first A press. This TAS wouldnt have been possible without him.
This was previously done in 4x A presses by myself: https://youtu.be/wTBfE5CDhho
Since then, authenticbrine (@BrinePato) suggested using the Goomba thats on top of the big wall in order to clear the first gap and save the first A press. After discussing this for a bit in the discord server, I made a prove of concept video with a hacked Goomba that showed that a Goomba bounce would be enough to get to the other side (https://youtu.be/0QL37PP5e3g). However, I couldnt manipulate the Goomba to fall off so Marbler took over and TASed that part.
The second A press save makes use of a trick called Boo Height Manipulation or BHM for short. To simplify it, when Mario is in certain actions like idle or hanging on a pole/tree the boos will move towards marios y-value as long as hes close to the Boos y-value. Since the boos default position was too high to get under the arch and collect the 2nd red coin, I had to lower them using the tree and the slope. Another thing I want to mention is that when Mario is airborne the boos will move towards y=0 which is underneath them, so while we do the Boo bounce chain towards the red the boos will move slightly downwards as well. It is very subtle but I thought I might as well mention it since it also applies to the other two boo bounce chains that are required to get to the wall. The rest of the TAS is basically the same as the previous record aside from some setup changes and the fact that I had to do the first boo bounce chain to the wall 0xA since I couldnt leech off the A press to clear the first gap since that one was saved.
This reduces the total 130 star A press count from 75 to 73
