In the [[A Button Challenge]], it takes 0 A presses to beat the level with or without the red coin star. The level can be beaten with or without a preset [[HOLP]], and is faster with that HOLP. However, both known methods of achieving this HOLP are not possible more than once without incurring additional A presses or using more time than they save | In the [[A Button Challenge]], it takes 0 A presses to beat the level with or without the red coin star.

The beginning of the level is the hardest part. It contains several subsequent platforms that are too high to get over without an A press and almost nothing to work with. Luckily, when the [[207 DR]] technique was discovered, which utilizes a [[misalignment]] to get extra height, all of the initial platforms except the last became passable. Then, a technique called the [[Chuckya Drop]] was discovered that uses manipulation to get [[Chuckya]] to fall from above<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFjIARsegtA "BitS Beginning - 0x A Presses" by Tyler Kehne]</ref>. | The beginning of the level is the hardest part.

Mario crosses the elevator using the messed-up axle location as normal. When he passes the arrow platform, he uses [[Pause Buffered Hitstun]] from taking huge [[Fall Damage|fall damage]] to throw a fire clone at the HOLP, which is on top of a pole. There are two possible poles that can be used for this. The larger of the two requires bouncing on a nearby Goomba. Once done, simple Goomba bounces and messed-up axle location uses allow Mario to reach the pipe, which he enters using a [[Misalignment|207 DR]]. | Mario crosses the elevator using the messed-up axle location as normal.

==Other Challenges== | |||
In the [[Coinless Challenge]], the Grand Star can be collected. It can also be collected in the [[CCC Challenge]]. | |||
In the [[Capless/Cannonless Challenge]], both the regular star and Grand Star can be collected. | |||
Neither the Grand Star nor the regular star can be collected in the [[No Buttons Allowed Challenge]] or [[No Joystick Allowed Challenge]]. | |||
In the [[Pacifist Challenge]], both the regular star and Grand Star can be collected, as [[Bowser]] is an exception to the pacifist rule. | |||
In the [[B Button Challenge]], the entire course is possible in 3 B presses, to grab Bowser 3 times. B does not need to be pressed to release Bowser, since Mario can just drop him into a mine for the first two hits and get burned while swinging him around to throw him at high speed for the third hit. | |||
In the [[Z Button Challenge]], the entire course is possible in 0 Z presses. | |||
In the [[UBER Challenge]], the Grand Star can be collected. | |||
There are multiple [[unsolved challenge]]s in this course: killing the [[Mystery Goomba]] and collecting its coin, reaching a [[Parallel Universe]] in both areas of the level, and defeating Bowser without swinging him. | |||
