EverythingABC | Super Paper Mario: The Sealed Doors Three (7-2) - 18x "2" Presses @everythingabc3511 | Uploaded 3 years ago | Updated 1 hour ago
We climb through the depths of hell. The hell is all the response prompts.
Video Notes:
7-2 plays exactly the same as a casual run but with Luigi's super jump replacing any jump requirements. Because flipping isn't required for this chapter, we can just use Luigi and not have to worry about swapping characters constantly.
The Underchomp fight is special because it's the only turn-based battle in the game. Like with most menuing, selecting actions requires the "2 button" so defeating the boss in as few actions as possible is key. Luckily, using a Shooting Star ends the fight in just one action and only costs 2x "2 presses", making it the most optimal way to defeat the Underchomp.
While the chapter has many, many prompts, there isn't much to improve besides the two "2 presses" to swap to Luigi at the beginning. All other "2 presses" are the result of dialogue, prompts, keys, and saving. Sequence breaking is the only hope for saving more "2 presses".
2 Presses:
1 - To open the characters menu
2 - To switch to Luigi
3 - To answer Dorguy #1's first question
4 - To answer Dorguy #1's second question
5 - To answer Dorguy #1's third question
6 - To allow access to Bowser
7 - To select the key to the second climbing area
8 - To answer Dorguy #2's first question
9 - To answer Dorguy #2's second question
10 - To answer Dorguy #2's third question
11 - To answer Dorguy #2's fourth question
12 - To answer Dorguy #2's fifth question
13 - To accept Hagra's request
14 - To give the cookbook to Hagra
15 - To select the key to the third climbing area
16 - To select the items option
17 - To use the Shooting Star
18 - 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.

[THIS VIDEO IS OUTDATED | UPDATED VIDEO NOT OUT YET]
Turns out getting a life is harder than I thought...
Video Notes:
This video is an updated version of my last video on Chapter 2-3 which accounts for recent route changes in 1-4. You can find the previous version here: https://youtu.be/n7nPP8r85pc
The second room in 1-4 now can be completed in 0x 2 presses by using two damage boosts, one from the fire bar in the middle of the room and another from a spawned megabite. However, this change in route adds an extra 2 press to get the Life Shroom which is shown during the setup of this video. This is why the count for this chapter went up from 19x to 20x.
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 jump on the prize block in 1-4
Main:
2 - To hit the prize block below the vase

We experience the pain of playing a space shooter without the shooting part.
Video Notes:
4-4 is a straightforward chapter with several uses of Thudley Jumping to get around, but not in ways you might expect. Outside of what weve seen before, there are two cases during this chapter where we use Thudley unexpectedly.
The first is when I need to backtrack after getting the second key. I can only leave the room when the gravity is normal, so I have to find a way to ascend to the higher floor without jumping. Doing a grounded Thudley jump doesnt bring Mario high enough so it seems impossible. However, Mario can bounce off of the Tileoids from any side, regardless of whether they are on the ceiling. So I flip in midair using Thudley to clip into the ceiling and bounce off of a Tileoid to make it the rest of the way up to the door.
The second case is when I need to flip gravity using a gravity block. Normally, Mario cannot activate a gravity block using a grounded Thudley jump. However, if we do a grounded Thudley Jump in 3D then flip back to 2D while we are inside the block, we can activate it by falling through the block. This cannot be done in the room after selecting the second key as the gravity blocks are too high off the ground.
Lastly, I should mention the boss fight of this chapter, Brobot. Because the Brobot boss fight is supposed to be a side-scrolling shooter section, we cant easily damage Brobot as we cannot shoot (reminder that shooting requires the 2 button). Instead, we damage Brobot through ground pounding. This is incredibly slow as we need a barrier candy to prevent taking damage ourselves. I decided to speed up the boss fight for the sake of this video, but you can watch the full unedited boss fight in the unabridged version found here: https://youtu.be/aSR_sKQfapw

After unlocking our final Pixl, we have a blast trying to manage our Pixl swaps!
Video Notes:
You might be wondering why I do not use Thudley for the first part of this segment. That is because I need to use Cudge twice to break open the two Cudge blocks to the heart pillar. Thudley would be able to cross most of the obstacles without needing to press 2, but switching to Thudley then back to Cudge would cost 4x 2 presses, and switching to Thudley would only save 3x 2 presses, so that route is suboptimal. This is why I need two Life Shrooms. Because I do not have Thudley as my active pixl, I cannot Thudley Jump, so I farmed for two Life Shrooms in 4-2 to perform two LSJs to navigate to the heart pillar in the fewest number of 2 presses. Once I break both Cudge blocks, however, I then switch back to Thudley and continue the segment as how you may expect.
2 Presses:
1 - To open the pixls menu
2 - To switch to Cudge
3 - To jump to the pipe that leads to first floor Flopside
4 - To jump high in the air to set up the LSJ
5 - To LSJ over the pillar
6 - To LSJ over to the Cudge block and heart pillar
7 - To open the pixls menu
8 - To switch to Thudley
9 - To TJ back over the pillar
