The No Joystick Allowed Challenge is a challenge in which the joystick on the controller is used as little as possible or not at all. Movement typically involves the following:
- a punch followed by a Single Jump, which provides forward movement
- a backflip, which provides backward movement
- a punch followed by a Single Jump to move off a ledge, followed by a ledge grab, which provides a means of facing perpendicular to the ledge
- a backflip whose landing lag falls off a ledge, followed by a dive back onto the floor, which provides a way of changing Mario's angle since he'll orient his angle along the floor's slope
- sliding down slopes, which provides a way of changing Mario's angle
- enemy knockback, which provides a way of changing Mario's angle
- chuckya throws, which provides a way of changing Mario's angle
- twirling with strategic A-held frames to slow the descent, which provides a way of changing Mario's angle
- repeated pole grabs, which provides a way of changing Mario's angle
- ground pounding, which provides a way of manipulating RNG (specifically, by advancing RNG by 80 calls)
Difficulties to this challenge include the following:
- entering doors
- aiming while swimming
- aiming while flying
- fast movement (e.g. racing Koopa the Quick, beating PSS under 21"0, the blue coin block timer)
