Tyler Kehne found a pedro spot in TTC which could be accessed with a [[Bob-omb|bob-omb]].<ref>[https://youtu.be/5t-ZbJsFEwg "SM64 - Stomp on the Thwomp - 6x A Presses <nowiki>[OUTDATED]</nowiki>" by pannenkoek2012]</ref> This saved 1 A press.

-In mid 2016, a new glitch was discovered in TTC called pendulum manipulation.<ref>[https://youtu.be/f35hBQ0zfO0 "TTC Pendulum Manipulation" by pannenkoek2012]</ref> This allows for the pendulums to swing incredibly high, initially saving 1 A press.

 Throughout 2017, most improvements came in the form of alternative strategies which were either faster and/or saves an a press outside the level by removing the need for a set [[HOLP]]. A new method of fly guy manipulation was discovered, which saved time on 2 [[Rainbow Ride]] levels.<ref>[https://youtu.be/61kko9pCq9g "RR Tricky Triangles! 0x Faster Strat" by UncommentatedPannen]</ref> A method was found to use a preset HOLP in Bowser in the Sky without costing an additional A press.<ref>[https://youtu.be/Zuc528e6AuY "BitS Faster Strat for 120 Star ABC Run" by UncommentatedPannen]</ref> A massive time save was found for 3 stars in TTC,<ref>[https://youtu.be/zL8Jneu2KWM "TTC Timed Jumps on Moving Bars 3x Faster Strat using PBH" by UncommentatedPannen]</ref> which involved using a forgotten strategy to get past the pole,<ref>[https://youtu.be/5v63cWxFw18 "TTC Bob-omb to Pole using Pause Buffered Hitstun" by UncommentatedPannen]</ref> saving over an hour on each star. Near the end of the year, Iwer Sonsch found a way to jump directly from the pedro spot in TTC to the thwomp platform,<ref>[https://youtu.be/6O--UXq_TpA "I found an A press save in SM64." by Iwer Sonsch]</ref> saving an A press in [[Stomp on the Thwomp]].<ref>[https://youtu.be/7S5CF1vsDPQ "TTC Stomp on the Thwomp 5x A Presses <nowiki>[OUTDATED]</nowiki>" by UncommentatedPannen]</ref> By the end of 2017, the A press count was lowered to 28.
