There are 96 stars that can be collected without the A Button using TAS. Recently, a new glitch was discovered in [[Bowser in the Fire Sea]] which makes a full 70 star run possible without pressing A. However, it was confirmed to be Wii VC only, since it happens due to a rounding error that is unique to the Wii Virtual Console.
