 == A Button Challenge ==
-=== Fighting King Whomp ===
+The Star can be done TAS only in under 45 seconds. The main challenges are ground pounding King Whomp, and collecting the star since it's too high for a dive recover.
-This level can be done without pressing A. Mario first brings a cork box to the top of the level. The box is brought onto the elevator by squeezing mario between the elevator and the small whomp. Mario then dive recovers off the small whomp, and regrabs the box as it falls off the elevator, transporting it to the top. Mario then heads to the arrow platform and collects coins, leaving 4 there. This will be useful for cloning the star. Mario ground pounds under the elevator to get the first 2 hits on King Whomp.
-=== Cloning The Star ===
+Mario gets onto the checkered elevator by [[Frame Walking|frame walking]] on the steep slope opposite the wall beside the elevator, and diving onto the elevator. As Mario fights King Whomp, he lures him to the correct spot. He ground pounds King Whomp by performing a dive recover just before King Whomp falls to the ground, bringing him to the top and conserving [[Vertical Speed Conservation|vertical speed]] from the dive recover. He activates it using platform displacement, allowing him to ground pound. On the 3rd shot, Mario uses a punch to activate his vertical speed. After the text finishes, Mario does a dive towards the star, allowing him to reach the star.
-The star is too high to be collected by a dive recover, so instead, Mario clones the star. He first lets King Whomp break the box, and Mario picks up the box as it breaks, holding a fake cork box. Mario loads the 4 coins still on the arrow platform so that he is holding the correct vacant object slot, then uses King Whomp to hold the object hands free. Mario falls onto the elevator. With his object hands free, he can ground pound. Mario grinds on the elevator to keep the object hands free, and ground pounds King Whomp for a third time, killing him. The star takes the vacant object slot in Mario's hands, allowing him to clone it.
+==== Orginal Strategy ====
+The original method of completing this 0x was to [[Clone|clone]] the star. <ref>[https://youtu.be/7ZwwAemsbYQ "SM64 - Chip Off Whomp's Block - 0x A Presses" by pannenkoek2012]</ref>
