Did this without Free Pause to show you can do switch storage with pause instead of the Z menu. On the frame after you land the ground pound on the switch, Mario's airborne, so pausing won't work, but it does on the QF you land on the switch, and for the 3 frames after landing on the pressed switch. The advantage is that since you can't pause in mid-air, you can mash Start during the ground pound without fear of getting the menu before the switch is pressed! But if you have Free Pause, that advantage goes away, and you just risk pausing on the frame that doesn't work in vanilla, making the attempt invalid.

I collect the Lily Pad Ride secret Shine without pressing the A button, using only the Spray and Hover Nozzles, as well as Yoshi.
Getting Yoshi to the island the normal way without A seems impossible, but all known ways to get him underwater in Delfino Plaza involved pressing A and/or falling out of bounds, where all we can do is press A.
That is, until now. I haven’t seen a video explaining this yet (will probably make one myself), but people have definitely fallen victim to this glitch while attempting EYG. Basically, when you touch the ground at the same time that you mount Yoshi, he stays in place but moves to the height where Mario just landed. The difference in height is usually pretty small because you have to be so close to Yoshi to mount him, but we can still use it to clip through the ground in some places.
But how is that different from the other OoB glitches? Well, this one can be performed right next to the water, allowing us to clip back in bounds (but underwater) before we fall too low. Once this is done, we can simply run to the island, unlock the pipe, and enter the secret area.
Inside the secret area, there’s no need for A presses anyway… until the last two coins. The 7th coin can be obtained by simply hovering from the side of the river, but the 8th is way above the ground. Hovering from the pipe gets just below the coin, then we can ground pound to grab it.

I collect the Ricco 8 Shine without pressing the A button, using only Yoshi.
Grassdigger came up with a way to reach the top of the fruit machines and get two fruits out of them without A or F.L.U.D.D.: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6xKNEkScYQ However, since the valve is so far away from the second machine, there’s no way to get more than two without going back to the beginning and starting over, which would give the initial fruits enough time to despawn.
This means that the silly restriction I took last time (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2chBZPliyVk), to get Yoshi to the cage with only two fruits, turns out to be the only way to collect this Shine without A or F.L.U.D.D.!
