EverythingABC | Super Paper Mario: The Gates of Space (4-3) - 7x "2" Presses @everythingabc3511 | Uploaded 4 years ago | Updated 3 minutes ago
Another space level where nothing happens...
Video Notes:
For 4-3, we do not deviate from the normal, intended path. One thing worth noting is the shop. Unlike most other shops in the game, we do not have to learn about how to use the shop, even though this is the first shop we visited. Furthermore, we do not have to say we want to buy at this shop as buying is the only option. Therefore, we only need 3x "2 presses" to buy the Chocobar needed to progress. As it stands, there is no way to get a Chocobar prior to this chapter so we cannot skip this interaction.
2 Presses:
1 - To squish Squirps in the first gate
2 - To select the Chocobar from the shop
3 - To confirm the purchase
4 - To exit the shop menu
5 - To squeeze Squirps in the second gate
6 - To select the Chocobar
7 - To save the game
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 I'll try to get back to you.

Introducing the corner clip! We can now explore the out of bounds!
Video Notes:
Now that were back on the ground, and with very low gravity, we can start pulling off some complex tricks. Firstly, this is a good time to introduce a new mechanic, Thudley Hovers (as if Thudley wasnt broken enough). By repeatedly starting and canceling ground pounds with Thudley, we could decrease our gravity and cross larger distances with Thudley. We first use this to reach the outhouses roof from the starting area. Well use this many, many more times throughout the run so be on the lookout.
The second thing to introduce is the corner clip. By positioning Mario into the right part of any corner while falling, we could clip out of bounds. We use this in the second room to go around the first large mountain without needing to switch to Slim, saving 3x 2 presses. Corner clips dont show up that often due to the need to crouch jump which is a 1x 2 press cost.
Lastly, we use our good friend the Megabite a few times throughout the level. Like previous times, we use the Megabite to repeatedly bounce across large gaps and scale large heights. Note that we cannot summon the Megabite in the first room until we are a certain ways into the level, which is why we dont use a Megabite to cross the first gap 2 pressless.
As a final note, we do not switch back to Thudley after unlocking Fleep as we will need to use Fleep at the start of 4-3. So not switching saves us 4x 2 presses in total, even though traversing the final area with Fleep adds on 2x 2 presses.
2 Presses:
1 - To jump over the first gap
2 - To corner clip
3 - To jump around the mountain in the second room
4 - To deny Blappys first offer
5 - To accept Blappys second offer
6 - To give Fleep the ancient clue
7 - To jump up to the cliff next to the outhouse
8 - To select the key
9 - To jump into the star block
10 - To save the game

Breaking the Bank AND the button count
Video Notes:
Once again, this chapter is very short if you know the solution to the chapter. Here, we can skip the entirety of the chapter by pre-emptively knowing the password to the 1 million ruby vault. One thing to note is that we cannot just grind the ruby rooms for 1 million rubies to pay off the debt. This is because theres a cap of 18000 rubies for each run-through of the VIP room. Each time, we need to press 2 to initiate a run-through, which easily negates any 2 press saves by beating the chapter this way.
2 Presses:
1 - To hit the prize block below the vase
2 - To jump onto the prize block
3 - To jump to the platform with the grandfather clock
4 - To jump to the second floor
5 - To jump to the second floor
6 - To jump onto the prize block
7 - To jump to the platform with the grandfather clock
8 - To jump to the second floor
9 - To jump to the second floor
10 - To jump into the ladder block
11 - To jump to the ladder
12 - To input the password to unlock the ruby vault
13 - To input the password to unlock the ruby vault
14 - To input the password to unlock the ruby vault
15 - To input the password to unlock the ruby vault
16 - To input the password to unlock the ruby vault
17 - To input the password to unlock the ruby vault
18 - To input the password to unlock the ruby vault

Mario was not ready to play soccer.
Video Notes:
This video is an improvement from my last video on Chapter 3-1 where I completed the chapter in 7x 2 Presses. You can find the video here: https://youtu.be/_7DTk_XnUoE
Since then, I was able to reroute the game to remove the Boomer swap originally present in this segment. Due to leaving Post Chapter 2 with Boomer, we can play through the entire segment without needing to switch Pixls, saving 2x 2 presses. In addition, I make use of a HBB to climb the first castle. Theres a chance that I could use a second HBB to cross the underground pit, but I would need one more HP than I currently have to pull that strategy off.
Aside from the new discoveries, Chapter 3-1 is quite simple due to its short length. Theres a special case after the underground section where using a convenient hole in 3D allows Mario to bounce off of the soccer shells and, by using careful navigation, allows Mario to clear the hard blocks at the start of the third section. From there, a few bullet bill bounces clear the rest of the level.
This video features a modified view (at 6:17) to help better visualize the home buffer bounces. This modified view edits out the home menus for a more fluid viewing experience.
2 Presses:
1 - To jump across the small, first pit
2 - To jump across the large, underground pit
3 - To jump into the star block
4 - To save the game

![SMO A/BBC (Low-Cappy): Perched on the Castle Roof - 0x A/B Presses [3x C Throws]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Nw9OxfabU9I/hqdefault.jpg "SMO A/BBC (Low-Cappy): Perched on the Castle Roof - 0x A/B Presses [3x C Throws]
From: Odyssey (Mushroom Kingdom)
The Super Mario Odyssey A/B Button Challenge (Low-Cappy) is where we go through the game while pressing A or B as few times as possible. The Low-Cappy addition also limits the number of times we can throw Cappy. Note that A/B Presses are prioritized, meaning we will throw Cappy 100 times to save 1 A/B Presses, but not press A/B 100 times to save one Cappy Throw.
Other Rules:
You must play single player only, with no assist mode. You also must play with the recommended control scheme. (Two vertical joycons)
Q: What is a C Throw
A: A C Throw is short for Cappy Throw. We count a Cappy Throw every time we throw Cappy at something or have to stay in the air for a Cap Jump.
Q: Why A/B Presses?
A: In Mario Odyssey, the jump button is assigned to both A and B, so we use the notation, A/B Presses to account for both buttons at once.
Q: Are there half a presses in this game xdxd
A: Yeah, like Mario 64, a half a press is when you hold A from a previous a press that has not been shown in the video. There are various uses for a half a press that will be demonstrated later.
Q: What does From: mean?
A: Because in Odyssey you dont leave the level when you collect a Power Moon, each video will start where the previous video ended (or the previous video in the route). To avoid confusion, I always put the starting location or moon in the description.")
