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 74 A presses, a theoretical 70 star run would take 6 A presses (1 in BitFS, 1 to go to BitS, and 4 in BitS), and 52 stars are possible without pressing A.

Out of the 74 a presses left in the 120 star run, 51 of them (give or take) are unique. Below is a table listing all of them:

It may be possible to get speed from the pillar and reactivate it some other place to ground pound the blue coin switch 0x for 100 coins. Ivan178 has shown that it is possible to get speed from the pillar to get Blast to the Stone Pillar 0x.<ref>[https://youtu.be/s8_xIqAbTO0 " SM64 RTABC Blast to the Stone Pillar 0xA 8:54 " ]</ref>
It may be possible to get speed from the pillar and reactivate it some other place to ground pound the blue coin switch 0x for 100 coins, and would save A press #3.

A while after Zyon showed a potential A press save in Whomp's Fortress, Ivan posted another clip<ref>[https://discord.com/channels/483523417442746368/743910895486238840/1099405588825374840 " message from Ivan " ]</ref> of him killing a goomba<ref>[https://discord.com/channels/483523417442746368/743910895486238840/1099416260388847676 " followup message from Ivan " ]</ref>, then bouncing on another goomba and collecting the other goomba's coin with good RNG, spawning a 100 coin star that allowed him to get past the pole with a precise Star Dance Clip. This would save the A press to get into the Eyerok battle.

Currently, the A press count for Stomp on the Thwomp and 100 Coins stands at 11xA. Billy, the world record holder for Stomp on the Thwomp originally planned to get it in 8xA, where the A presses not included being the pole jump at the beginning, which can be solved by using knockback from a bob-omb which had been done in previous stars, and a failed dive onto one of the rotating blocks. Additionally, it was shown to be possible to do Roll into the Cage in 1xA.
Currently, the A press count for Stomp on the Thwomp and 100 Coins stands at 11xA. Billy, the world record holder for Stomp on the Thwomp originally planned to get it in 9xA, where the A presses not included being the pole jump at the beginning, which can be solved by using knockback from a bob-omb which had been done in previous stars, and a failed dive onto one of the rotating blocks. This would save A presses #22 and #24

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 " message from PapaQBall "]</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>

Currently, the A press count for Bowser in the Sky and BitS reds is 4.5 and 6.5 respectively. One of these A presses can be saved, specifically the one to get across the moving orange bars by the two poles can be saved via a precise dive rollout. Zyon, the current world record holder for BitS, is trying to get it down to 3.5. The half A press can be saved too by grinding the edge of the platform to get an instant double jump, making the currently lowest possible count 3, However it's more precise and not ideal for a 70 or 120 star abc run. Additionally, the A press can be saved for red coins by using cloning to get over the orange platforms multiple times to get the red coin without needing an additional A press, making it's lowest count 5.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KHM99dYJMk <nowiki>" [SEGMENTED] SM64 RTABC - BitS w/ Reds 5xA "</nowiki>]</ref>
Currently, the A press count for Bowser in the Sky and BitS reds is 3.5 and 6.5 respectively. A press #44 can be saved via a precise dive rollout from the moving orange bar to the other. This A Press is already saved without reds. The half A press can be saved too by precisely grinding the edge of the platform to get an instant double jump, and Ivan showed it's possible to use a goomba clone to save the last A press to escape the last red coin<ref>[https://discord.com/channels/483523417442746368/743910895486238840/1119805116900446270 " BitS Goomba Clone to Escape Red Coin"]</ref>, leaving the lowest possible a press counts at 3 A presses for no reds, and 4 A presses with reds.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KHM99dYJMk <nowiki>" [SEGMENTED] SM64 RTABC - BitS w/ Reds 5xA "</nowiki>]</ref>
