The first major breakthrough in 2018 was a new glitch caused by raising a scuttlebug into a [[Parallel Universe|Vertical Parallel Universe]], causing it to clip through floors. This saves 3 A presses in [[Big Boo's Haunt]]. Timestoppa and Tyler Kehne found a way of using speed to get to the stone pillar platform in [[Jolly Roger Bay]] 0x, saving an A press. Tyler Kehne began working on a way to get into the Secret Aquarium without PU movement (the n64 crashes when it enters a PU). After lots of hard work, a way was found, saving an A press in the N64 versions. In mid 2018, Bad_Boot and Sidney found a way to build speed on a treadmill in TTC, allowing Mario to jump straight up to the top of the pole. This saves 2 A presses. | The first major breakthrough in 2018 was a new glitch caused by raising a scuttlebug into a [[Parallel Universe|Vertical Parallel Universe]], causing it to clip through floors.

This | Shortly after, a great discovery was made. Andru! Had left his wii on overnight, and found that the rising and falling platforms in Bowser in the Fire Sea had risen. This led to the discovery of a new glitch, and meant that the game could now be completed in Wii VC with 0 A presses. Throughout the year, 3 A presses were saved in Stomp on the Thwomp, lowering the count to 2. By the end of the year, the total A press count was at 21. | ||
In mid 2019, an A press was saved by finding a way to re-enter [[Tick Tock Clock|TTC]] from the [[Get a Hand]] Star using 0.5 A presses. Other improvements in TTC included removing the need for a preset HOLP in TTC for 3 stars, which is significant as it requires an A press to enter TTC. Currently, the A press count stands at 19. | In mid 2019, an A press was saved by finding a way to re-enter [[Tick Tock Clock|TTC]] from the [[Get a Hand]] Star using 0.5 A presses.
