Collecting the key from this level is required to complete the game as it unlocks the door to go upstairs.

A Press Counts
In the A Button Challenge, it takes 1 A press to beat the level (with or without the red coin star) in the 120 star category, because the N64 J version is used. However, it takes 0 A presses to beat the level (with or without the red coin star) in the any% category, because the Wii VC version is used instead. The A press is required to jump off the pole, which was saved on the Wii VC version using the Wii VC Rounding to Zero glitch.
Other Challenges
In the Coinless Challenge, the key can be collected. It can also be collected in the CCC Challenge.
In the Capless/Cannonless Challenge, both the star and key can be collected.
In the No Buttons Allowed Challenge, neither the star nor key can be collected.
In the No Joystick Allowed Challenge, both the star and key can be collected.
In the Pacifist Challenge, both the star and key can be collected, as Bowser is an exception to the pacifist rule.
In the B Button Challenge, the entire course is possible in 1 B press, to grab Bowser. Bowser does not need to be released with B, since Mario can just drop him into a mine.
In the Z Button Challenge, the entire course is possible in 0 Z presses.
In the UBER Challenge, the key can be collected.
There are multiple unsolved challenges in this course: getting infinite coins, collecting the key on the death barrier, and reaching a Parallel Universe in the Bowser fight.
