Note that previously, it was believed that the only way to go to the second floor (in 0x A) is by selecting version 1, and use [[Vertical Speed Conservation|VSC]] while the stairs are raising<ref>https://youtu.be/h4IJZ70wUqM?si=qow66O5YdJxP3fYE</ref>. However, now it is discovered that it is actualy possible to climb the last step with the stars already raised<ref>https://youtu.be/CqlN_0S1ESY?si=uVflulJ3yTzBSJwM</ref> by using negative VSC to fall precisely so that a quarterframe is in the right location to preform a [[Glitchy Ledge Grab|glitchy ledge grab]] (other steps can simply be reached by using a misalignment).

Mario can defeat the Big Boo using a multitude of moves (punching, slide-kicking, diving, sliding), none of which require the A button.

'''Version 2''' must be used for boos to show up in the merry-go-round. The biggest obstacle is finding a way to reach the star since it is 357 units above the floor<ref>Star Heights: https://youtu.be/xE7hrQ8sHhU?t=3m1s</ref>. After many ideas trying to go out of bounds to utilize VSC failed, Pannenkoek eventually found a method to use a scuttlebug's bounce to reach the star.

On the new, faster strat, after setting the HOLP, Scuttlebug is raised for only 2 minutes, until it reaches the shed's roof. Then, a hat in hand glitch is preformed, and Mario grabs the crazy box. On the last bounce, the bouncing is interrupted by hitting a raised scuttlebug, which drops the crazy box (on the HOLP laterally, but at Mario's heihgt). After beating up the Boos, Mario reactivates the crazy box and grabs it before it falls on the floor and disappears. The crazy box is used to reach the star.

The bookshelf puzzle is solved by pushing the three books in a high-low-middle order, the highest one being fortunately reachable by dive-recovering. After revealing the other side and go through the door, the star can be reached by sliding on the rails and then ground-pound midair to gain enough height to collect the star.

The star is located on the roof, which can be accessed from the third floor of the mansion. The biggest obstacle is going to the third floor of the mansion without pressing A. Under normal conditions, the crazy box does not go high enough to reach the roof (to meet Big Boo), and jumping from the second floor to the third floor requires an A press. Therefore, the solution is to transport and raise the scuttlebugs and place them inside the mansion.

The same maneuver is performed so as to reach the third floor, except it is even more difficult. The secret room, where the star is located, is only accessible by putting on a vanish cap, and therefore Mario has a strict time limit to reach the third floor without the cap running out. The only route fast enough for this is to navigate from the second floor to the third floor, instead of taking the detour outside the mansion to reach the roof<ref>Explained in BBH Vanish Cap during Scuttlebug Bouncing: https://youtu.be/p4-z4qogSC0</ref>.
