The Secret Aquarium is a secret stage accessed by entering the hole in the wall on the right side of the Jolly Roger Bay room. It consists of a room fully filled with water; it contains 40 yellow coins that can be used to refresh Mario's air. There are also 8 red coins that must be collected to spawn a star. It is the only stage to have an (albeit implicit) time limit, as you cannot surface and there are a limited amount of coins you can use to refresh your air.
A Presses
Altough the stage itself does not require any A presses, as the stage can be easily done by swimming with the B button, entering the secret aquarium is a challenge on its own. The current strategy used is very complicated. Because the final text redirection is done using a door that requires 1 star, this whole setup has to be done without obtaining a single star. Therefore, we have to enter Bowser in the Dark World, get the basement key, and enter Shifting Sand Land. Once in there, the TAS creates a setup using many various objects found in the course to make sure Mario gets the right angle and speed once he lands.[1]
