B Button Challenge

Revision as of 04:06, 4 August 2021 by Silverbach (talk | contribs) (→‎B Presses Left: We don't usually capitalize the o)

The B Button Challenge, BBC for short, is a challenge in which the number of presses of the B button is minimized, whether on a per-mission or a per-file basis. The B button mainly grabs objects and does punches and dives by itself, so most stars are not affected from restricting the B button. As a result, not a lot of stars require B presses to save at all; however, some actions such as swinging Bowser require it in any%.
