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 72 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 (1 in BitFS and 1 in BitS), and 52 stars are possible without pressing A.
Out of the 72 A presses left in the 120 star run, 51 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 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 would save A press #23, a failed dive onto one of the rotating blocks which would save A press #24, and a triple jump wall kick instead of two sideflip wall kicks which would replace A presses #26-29 with 3 other A presses.

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 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.
