The B Button Challenge, BBC for short, is a challenge in which the number of presses of the B button is minimized, whether on a per-mission or a per-file basis. The B button mainly grabs objects and does punches and dives by itself, so most stars are not affected from restricting the B button. As a result, not a lot of stars require B presses to save at all; however, some actions such as swinging Bowser require it in any%.

B Presses Left
Below is a table of unique B presses in the B Button Challenge.
| B Press # | Multiplicity | Stage | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| #1 | 3 | BoB | To grab King Bob-omb, but not to release him |
| #2 | 2 | Castle | To grab MIPS |
| #3 | 1 | BitFS | To grab Bowser, but not to release him |
| #4 | 3 | BitS | To grab Bowser, but not to release him |
Since King Bob-omb is a heavy object, he can't be grabbed with a cannon or a wing cap (unlike baby penguin and Ukiki). That's because grabs from cannon, wing cap and wind are dive-grabs, but heavy objects can't be grabbed with a dive.
