==List of HOLPs required in the ABC challenge 100% run==

===Secret Aquarium Entry (BoB → SSL)===

;Corresponding Location (BoB): On top of the floating island, next to a tree and the buddy cannon platform

;Corresponding Location (SSL): High in midair above the sandy hills, close to the shell item block

;Purpose: Allows Mario to clone a shiny shell remotely. This is used for the speed conservation setup necessary for SA Entry.

;Alternatives availability: None (must be performed for the lowest A press count)

In Shifting Sand Land, Mario throws a Bob-omb remotely using Pause Buffer Hitstun into the shell item block, allowing Mario to clone a shell. Mario then proceed to complete the hyperspeed setup and exits the course with 2132 speed conserved for the castle movement needed to reach the entrance to Secret Aquarium.

===Top of the Fortress (BoB → WF)===

;Corresponding Location (BoB): High in midair, above the slippery white slope between low ground and the mountain

;Corresponding Location (WF): Between the arrow-shaped island and tower platform, high in midair

;Purpose: The HOLP allows Mario to throw a cork box to himself, completing the setup for landing on the tower steps leading to the star "Top of the Fortress".

;Alternatives availability: None (must be performed for the lowest A press count)

;Corresponding Location (WF): Off the edge of the second arrow-pointing brick platforms (closer to the Thwomp)

;Corresponding Location (DDD): In between two moving poles in midair, with caged walls on the sides

;Purpose: The HOLP allows Mario to place a pole clone between two poles, facilitating him at collecting the 2 red coins behind the cages.

;Alternatives availability: None (must be performed for the lowest A press count)

;Corresponding Location (WDW): A corner close to the highest water-level changer, at the edge of the course

;Corresponding Location (TTC): Out of bounds (opposite side of starting platform). Height is equivalent to the high tip of the narrow path leading to the thin rotating platforms

;Purpose: Allows access of the platforms after the cogs without pressing A by using the Bob-omb (teleported to the HOLP using Instant Release and spawned at Mario's location due to a failsafe). Used for "Roll into the Cage" and "The Pit and the Pendulums".

;Alternatives availability: Cogs misalignment strat

;Corresponding Location (BitS): Far off the edge of the stone platform preceding the final wind-blowing platform, above the ramp

;Corresponding Location (TTC): High in midair above the rotating cubes, at the narrow slope leading to thin rotating platforms in height

;Purpose: Allows Mario to clip through the cage from the rotating cubes using Bob-omb's backwards momentum, collecting the star "Timed Jumps on Moving Bars".

;Alternatives availability: None (must be performed for the lowest A press count)

;Corresponding Location (BitS): Slightly above the ramp leading to the final two elevators, next to a Keronpa Ball

;Corresponding Location (TTC): Midair above the mesh platform which is above the two pendulums.

;Purpose: Allows Mario to enter the pendulum box Pedro spot to build up speed for a boosted double jump to the Thwomp.

;Alternatives availability: None (must be performed for the lowest A press count)

In Tick Tock Clock, Mario uses Pause Buffer Hitstun to remotely throw a Bob-omb at the HOLP, in order for it to be reactivated when Mario reaches the pendulum box. The thrown Bob-omb's explosion pushes Mario into the pedro spot, allowing Mario to begin building up speed.
