The other button challenges aren't as notable as the ABC, because they are relatively trivial.
B Button Challenge
- Main article: B Button Challenge
The B Button Challenge is basically the same as the ABC, except it is about avoiding the use of the B Button. In most levels, the B Button isn't required, but some of the ones that seem to require it have exploitable glitches to avoid pressing B.
(100% Only) The player must press B three times in BoB to defeat King Bob-omb.
The player must press B in Bowser in the Fire Sea, but can avoid pressing B again by letting Mario drop Bowser into the mine.
(100% Only) The player must press B two times to collect two MIPS stars.
The player must press B three times in order to beat Bowser in the Sky. The first two throws are simple; for the third, Mario gets hit by Bowser's Fire, causing him to release Bowser, which allows us to avoid pressing B a fourth time.
Although the player must press B to defeat Bowser in the Dark World, this press is conventionally excluded from totals, because 120 stars can be collected even without completing BitDW.
On the J-Version of the game, the player can only use the B Button to initiate text with NPCs, and this introduces additional B presses.
(100% Only) The player must press B three times to collect three toad stars.
Total Counts
| Japanese N64 Version | All other versions | |

| Any% | 4 | 4 |
| 120 Star | 12 | 9 |
Z Button Challenge
- Main article: Z Button Challenge
(100% Only) The player must press Z three times during the fight with King Whomp, since we have to ground pound his back three times.
(100% Only) The player must press Z to ground pound the blue coin block in JRB in order to get the 100 coin star, since there are only 74 other coins in the course.
