S4.E10 ∙ Pluck the Piranha Flower - 0x A Presses

Sat, Jan 31, 2015

I collect the star Pluck the Piranha Flower in Tiny Huge Island using 0 A presses. This video is an improvement from my previous video in which I entered this course from the huge entrance. Since then, Tyler theorized a way to get off of the beginning platform of the tiny entrance to a more useful platform. Specifically, Tyler figured out how to cross the gap from the starting platform to the fire spitter platform, and then cross the gap from the fire spitter platform to the Piranha Plant platform. I then executed Tyler's plan.

S4.E12 ∙ Top O' the Town - 0x A Presses

Wed, Mar 04, 2015

I collect the star Top O' the Town in Wet-Dry World using 0 A presses. This video is an improvement from my previous videos in which I collected this star in 1 A press starting from the low water level and 0 A presses starting from the high water level. Because it takes an A press to enter the WDW painting on the high water level, both of those routes would effectively cost one A press during a 120 star run. In this video, however, I collect the star with 0 A presses starting from the low water level, and thus it will cost 0 A presses during the 120 star run.

I collect the star The Tip Top of the Huge Island in Tiny-Huge Island using 0 A presses. This video is an improvement from my previous video in which I entered this course from the huge entrance. Since then, Tyler and I collaborated to find a way to get to the mainland of the island starting from the tiny entrance. Starting from the tiny entrance rather than the huge entrance implicitly saves an A press, because it takes 1 A press to enter the huge painting but 0 A presses to enter the tiny painting.

S4.E36 ∙ TTC Upwarp $1000 Bounty

Tue, Aug 04, 2015

Recently, a video by twitch user DOTA_TeaBag was brought to my attention, in which he did an upwarp in Tick Tock Clock. I believe this is a new, unexplored glitch, but unfortunately I have been unsuccessful at recreating it myself. Thus, I'm putting a bounty of $1000 on the glitch. In other words, the first person to recreate the glitch and send it to me will earn $1000 from me.

S4.E37 ∙ Go to The Secret Aquarium - 0x A Presses (VC Only)

Thu, Oct 08, 2015

I go to The Secret Aquarium using using 0 A presses. Unfortunately, this method is only possible on emulator and virtual console, and NOT console. This is because if Mario goes to a PU on console without fixing the camera in the main map, the game will freeze. Normally we can get around this by fixing the camera, but this isn't possible in the castle foyer because the foyer has a special camera that automatically follows Mario around. Thus, whether or not this A press save truly counts is up for debate.

I collect the star Watch for Rolling Rocks in Hazy Maze Cave using 0.5 A presses. The A press is to perform AB kicks on the rising elevators. Without doing these kicks, Mario would go through the elevator, and so there'd be no way to navigate out of the lake area with QPU speed.
