[https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MDgm0yj5IJeqYMJlOdbKyIz66aX1Y3dYm79_wIePxY0/ The RTABC spreadsheet] contains leaderboards for individual stars, stages and full game categories; optimal routes for 70 Star, 120 Star, and Max Stars 0xA; conjectured improvements, and many other useful references.
 
==A Presses Left==
[https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MDgm0yj5IJeqYMJlOdbKyIz66aX1Y3dYm79_wIePxY0/ The RTABC spreadsheet] contains a route guide for 70 Star, and a leaderboard showcasing the category's only completed run.
A '''unique A press''' refers to a single circumstance under which the A button must be pressed during a run. This circumstance may occur multiple times, leading to multiple A presses; if a workaround is found for the unique A press, all of those individual A presses may be saved.


No other categories have any recorded runs.  
Currently, a theoretical 120 star run would take 58 A presses, a theoretical 70 star run would take 1 A press on N64 (1 in BitFS), and 53 stars are possible without pressing A.
Out of the 58 A presses left in the 120 star run, 39 of them (give or take) are unique. Below is a table listing all of them:

Some A presses require A to be held, but not pressed. These A presses are called Half A Presses and can come from a previous A press instead of a new one, so saving one wouldn't actually lower the A press count.


The half a presses are listed below:

==Possible A Press Saves==
===Jolly Roger Bay===
It may be possible to get speed from the pillar and reactivate it some other place to ground pound the blue coin switch 0x for 100 coins, and would save A press #3. Ivan178 has shown that it is possible to get speed from the pillar to get Blast to the Stone Pillar 0x.<ref>[https://youtu.be/s8_xIqAbTO0 " SM64 RTABC Blast to the Stone Pillar 0xA 8:54 "]</ref>
===Dire Dire Docks===
Theoretically, you could collect the chests star using Hyperspeed punching, or the shell, to get enough speed to outrun the whirlpool, then preform frame perfect B swimming using frame counting (a method where you pause buffer, then use the sound of the pauses to determine how many frames have passed) to open all the chests and collect the star.
