The challenge was created by Mario64Masters. The name of the UBER challenge was borrowed from Manocheese's Über Challenge for Ocarina of Time. Basically, this challenge forbids any coins and collectibles (except chests), switches, cannons, teleporting, caps, opening boxes (except a star), damage (except falling), and activating movable platforms. Additionally, enemies must not be interacted (including Lakitu, but except Bowser and MIPS).

The challenge aims to reduce the use of [[A Button]] in courses, first documented in [http://www.curtisbright.com/sm64/abc/ Curtis Bright's website]. Since then, many techniques are applied in an attempt to bring down the A Press count, with [https://youtube.com/user/pannenkoek2012 pannenkoek2012] being the biggest contributor to the challenge. There are 97 stars that can be collected without the A Button using TAS.

==Coinless Challenge==
==Coinless Challenge==
The only rule is that the player cannot collect any coins. Specifically, no yellow, red, or blue coins can be collected. Techniques where Mario saves 0 coins into the game by collecting multiples of 256, or pause buffering to prevent the coin counter from going up, are not allowed.

Mario is able to collect 81 stars in a full game run, and 82 stars on a single star basis. The remaining 38 stars require collecting coins and therefore not allowed.

==Cannonless Challenge==
In the cannonless challenge, entering any cannons is forbidden. As it turns out, all 120 stars can be collected cannonless. The challenge was completed on 23 July 2018 by sm64expert, when he collected [[Wing Mario over the Rainbow]].<ref>https://youtu.be/JCzBOGHf_a0</ref>

The ABZ Challenge is similar to Buttonless, but instead of restricting all buttons only restricts the three primary buttons, A B and Z. Instead of requiring that they don't be used at all, it allows simply using the minimum number of buttons possible.

It was created by [[Ethan White]] as an alternative to the Buttonless challenge, since the Buttonless challenge did not allow the start button, and consequently did not allow changing languages on PAL version to minimize text box button presses.

As the joystick provides the vital function for Mario to change directions and run, the challenge takes route planning to the extreme. The challenge can only be done on a single star basis and not a full game run due to absurd limitations.
