In the early 2000s, players began trying to beat [[Super Mario 64]] with as few A presses as possible. Thus, the [[A Button Challenge]] (ABC) was born. At first, the challenge required clever movement around the levels, but it eventually required advanced techniques and glitches to whittle down A presses. As of 21 May 2024, the challenge has been completed on the WiiVC version with other versions having 13 A presses remaining. | In the early 2000s, players began trying to beat [[Super Mario 64]] with as few A presses as possible.
