Stars

Just like the CCC Challenge, 38 stars require coins and Snowman's Lost His Head can only be selected after Frosty Slide for 8 Red Coins.

Like the A Button Challenge, Tick Tock Clock, Rainbow Ride, and Wing Mario over the Rainbow are inaccessible in a full run.

Possible stars with non-trivial strategies
Course Star Strategy
BoB Shoot to the Island in the Sky Shell hyperspeed
BoB Mario Wings to the Sky It is marked as possible but no detailed strategy has been given. It is technically possible to do this coinless without BLJs by cloning the top coins then touching the very top of the secret's hitbox. However, for the 4th and 5th secrets, cannonballs in differing heights at rather high places are needed. With at least 30 clones for the base strat using A presses (no BLJ),[1] the amount of clones needed seems prohibitively expensive.
BoB Behind Chain Chomp's Gate Shell hyperspeed
WF To the Top of the Fortress Platform displacement[2] (using BCA instead of Hat-in-hand)
WF Blast Away the Wall Cannonless
JRB Treasure of the Ocean Cave The ABC does this 0.5xA
CCM Slip Slidin' Away The cabin is entered from the side and there's enough room on the side to avoid the coins.
CCM Big Penguin Race The cabin is entered from the side and there's enough room on the side to avoid the coins.
BitDW Basement key The walkway is obstructed by coins,[3] but this can be avoided by using a Goomba chase extension.[4]
todo
HMC Swimming Beast in the Cavern Use the elevator clip to fall down onto the star from above. In general the usual ABC strats work for HMC.
LLL Hot-Foot-It into the Volcano Instead of using coins in the usual lava-boosting ABC strat, go down to the heart and spin it fast enough that Mario is healed while taking damage.[5]
LLL Elevator Tour in the Volcano Mario can barely avoid the coins in the faster 0xA strategy.[6]
DDD Collect the Caps... C^ up slide on the sub to clip behind the barrier.[7]
SL Snowman's Big Head Replace the moneybag bounces in the buttonless strat https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ih3aBGxWzJA with a dive recover.
SL In the Deep Freeze Dive recover onto a spindrift
SL Into the Igloo The ABC TAS collects the coins on the slope leading up to the igloo, but this is avoidable using the shell path from 4:06 in the above buttonless strategy link and the fly guy. The coins inside the igloo are easily avoided by going back the way you came.
TTM The top of this slope at https://youtu.be/kdkxmCwqd58?t=14 is reachable, at which point a fly guy bounce can be used to reach a star or skip the one remaining line of coins.
THI Entering the huge island is doable 0xA CCC using a double goomba bounce
WDW Quick Race Through Downtown! The ABC cloning strategy does not violate CCC[8]
TTC Roll into the Cage After the spinners (Get a Hand), the cogs can be surpassed with dive recovers and VSC, and a convenient bob-omb teleports to Mario thanks to a preset holp OOB, which is used to get onto the treadmill right next to the star.
TTC Get a Hand The red coin collected in https://youtu.be/9P3IYctNY4s is avoidable with consistent movement up the spinners.
RR Cruiser Crossing the Rainbow Even if the coins from the lakitu bounce turned out to be unavoidable, there's fly guy manipulation as plan B.
RR Swingin' in the Breeze The coins in the 0xA strat are avoidable.[9]
RR Tricky Triangles! The coins in the 0xA strat are avoidable.[10]
Stars not done (excluding ones not done in ABC or CCC)
Course Star/Key Reason
CCM Into the Igloo The ABC strategies need the vanish cap to get the star.
BBH Eye to Eye in the Secret Room There is no way to enter the secret room without the vanish cap 0xA.
JRB Through the Jet Stream (JRB) Without the cap or A swimming, there is no way through the stream.
DDD Through the Jet Stream (DDD) Without the cap or A swimming, there is no way through the stream. However, holding A allows swimming while holding an object, so we can clone and collect the star 0.5xA.[11]
TTC The corner of the platform where the pole is is obstructed by coins. Additionally, Stomp on the Thwomp requires the 100 coin star.
RR Many 0xA strategies involve the lakitu bounce, and it is unknown whether the coins from that bounce are avoidable. They probably are.
