I collect the 22nd blue coin in Ricco Harbor without pressing the A button, using only Yoshi. This relies on the beginning of the Ricco 8 strat to get to Yoshi 0x and FLUDDless: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjHvF_v8O2Q
This blue coin was listed as requiring the Rocket Nozzle on the ABC spreadsheet, until today, when Grégoire pointed out that we could just infinite ground pound to it. On its own, this doesn’t save an A press since we still need the rocket in Ricco 4 reds, but there might be something to do about that too.
The infinite ground pound is pretty bad for horizontal movement, since each repetition only lets Yoshi move for one frame, between the two L presses needed to make Mario ground pound back onto Yoshi and Yoshi ground pound in turn. The best option during that frame is to move sideways, since the stick directly affects sideways speed, whereas it only controls forward/backward acceleration. But we still don’t get very far.

I collect the 100 coin Shine for Gelato Beach without pressing the A button or using F.L.U.D.D. at all.
Getting the coins in the trees at the beginning without the Hover Nozzle was pretty hard. The only thing that could go wrong in the Sand Cabana was to get the blue coin (which would have required a save, thus an A press). Then it was just about getting coins from the watermelons and Cataquacks.

I collect the Pinna 4 Shine without pressing the A button, using only the Spray Nozzle.
Jumping isn’t really necessary for this Shine, as you can kill the Snooze-A-Koopas by ground pounding next to them. However, not being able to spam-spray really slows down the process of waking them, and makes it hard to get several of them at once.

![Fluff Festival Coin Hunt – 0x A Presses [S/H]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/f7sRkqebMbk/mqdefault.jpg "Fluff Festival Coin Hunt – 0x A Presses [S/H]
I collect the Pianta 8 Shine without pressing the A button, using only the Spray and Hover Nozzles. This is an improvement over my previous strat, which took 40 seconds longer and only worked on the Japanese version of the game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18mVO8MnZPc
That previous strat involved a glitch discovered by Frog7ribbit, that allows Mario to reset his state by attempting to grab a floating fruit. This meant that the strat could only work on the Japanese version, since the floating fruit glitch was fixed in international releases. However, the fruit doesn’t have to be floating for this glitch to work; it simply has to be in mid-air. In fact, you can even trigger this effect with any fruit hanging in a tree!
So I put a banana on a giant leaf over the void, drop into the underside to grab the coin, hover under the leaf as the banana slides off of it, dive into the banana to reset my state, and hover up onto the bridge. It’s important to pick a banana there, as any other fruit would just roll off the leaf instantly, and I couldn’t just put it onto the bridge because the bridge becomes intangible when Mario’s too far away. The rest is roughly the same, I only swapped the order of the coin inside the crates and the one under the fruit tree to save a few seconds.

I collect the 3rd blue coin in Delfino Plaza without pressing the A button, using only the Spray and Hover Nozzles, as well as Yoshi.
We’ve been looking for ways to get the sewers blue coins without saveboxes for a while, mostly thinking about storing upward speed on the OoB floor below to launch into the coins after dying, but nothing really worked out.
But I just realized that when an OoB floor kills Mario while he’s on Yoshi, it makes him dismount, giving him quite a bit of height. Also, on the Japanese version, Mario dismounts Yoshi from a higher point than on the other versions, allowing him to grab a blue coin during his death animation to skip the savebox.
EDIT: After a bit more testing, I found that the height of the dismount is affected by horizontal speed, allowing other versions to get the blue coin by running under it. That’s pretty cool because a couple of other saves rely on fruit storage, which isn’t available on the Japanese version.
Unfortunately, one of the sewers blue coins can’t be collected this way because there is no OoB floor below it.

This is a video I’ve recorded and edited a while ago but samgodro43 posted his (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8f16kDqBNY) before I posted mine. I’m posting it now for the Low-Nozzle ABC.

I collect the Ricco 4 reds Shine without pressing the A button, using only the Turbo Nozzle. This is an improvement over my previous strat, which used the Hover and Rocket Nozzles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gv07c-AjDPc
The Rocket and Turbo Nozzles are basically equivalent for the ABC, as both require an A press to unlock in each area. In Ricco, the Turbo Nozzle is generally a better choice when possible, as it’s available right next to the starting point and doesn’t require the Hover Nozzle to reach. On top of that, we can combine unlocking the Turbo Nozzle with a blue coin textbox, saving an A press in 120 Shines!
