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.
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 5 A presses (1 in BitFS and 3.5 in BitS), and 52 stars are possible without pressing A.

Out of the 74 a presses left in the 120 star run, 50 of them (give or take) are unique. Below is a table listing all of them:

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 " 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

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> Additionally, Marbler plans on doing all of BitS 1x, by preforming two misalignments at the start which saves A presses #40, and doing a setup to preform Chuckya Wrong Throw to save A press #43. This also means preforming the misalignment into the pipe to the Bowser fight, which has been proven 0.5x by Ivan178, but hasn't been proven 0x. If a repeatable setup to do Chuckya Wrong Throw is found, it would also save A Press #42. This would leave both BitS and BitS reds at 1x, however this has yet to be proven.
Currently, the A press count for Bowser in the Sky and BitS reds is 1 and 6.5 respectively. All of the improvements made in the Bowser in the Sky 1x video can be replicated in 6.5 to get BitS reds down to 2.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30OZ7VTN4xo <nowiki>" BitS: Clear, no Reds, 1xA [RTA] "</nowiki>]</ref> The Chuckya Wrong Throw setup is also repeatable, meaning you can do it however many times you want. This leaves the final count for BitS to likely be 1 for both reds and no reds.
