A '''unique A press''' refers to a single circumstance under which the A button must be pressed during a run. This circumstance may occur multiple times, leading to multiple A presses; if a workaround is found for the unique A press, all of those individual A presses may be saved.

Currently, a theoretical 120 star run would take 69 A presses, a theoretical 70 star run would take 2 A presses (1 in BitFS and 1 in BitS), and 52 stars are possible without pressing A.
Currently, a theoretical 120 star run would take 69 A presses, a theoretical 70 star run would take 2 A presses on N64 (1 in BitFS and 1 in BitS), and 52 stars are possible without pressing A.
Out of the 69 A presses left in the 120 star run, 48 of them (give or take) are unique. Below is a table listing all of them:

The express elevator star has been proven 0.5x for a while, with the only known "possible" improvement to be using downwards VSC and precise b-swimming to get onto the elevator before it gets out of the water. However, pannenkoek2012 found that by getting light chuckya on the platform that has the top of the town star, slidekicking off (which also releases chuckya), then going into Mario cam to stop rendering chuckya, and assuming good RNG, chuckya will throw Mario onto the elevator activating it, chuckya will be running into the switch because its too far away from its home, but the slope of the switch lets chuckya stay in place which allows Mario to grab chuckya and throw him such that chuckya pushes Mario inside of the elevator room while the elevator is down.<ref>[https://discord.com/channels/483523417442746368/483530960646832149/1142480476666347520 " WDW Elevator Clip " ]</ref> This saves Half A Press #3, the only half a press not located in DDD, and would make Wet-Dry World the 4th course to be fully 0x.

On February 10th 2023, PapaQBall shared an idea to save the 32nd A press, to get over the first blue block in Rainbow Ride 0x using VSC from a slidekick bounce from one carpet to another carpet, then ledgegrab up on top of the blue block.<ref>[https://discord.com/channels/483523417442746368/483531058382372874/1073497643801653258 " RR Carpet VSC Attempt "]</ref> Unfortunately, the ledgegrab was too slow. However, pannenkoek2012 showed later that it would be possible to get back onto the carpet with a dive rollout on the edge of the block.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E15R10PJPlw " RR Clearing the First Glass Block using VSC "]</ref> This would save A press #31
