** [[Bowser in the Sky]], where a series of misalignments is used to climb the first few platforms.
| rowspan=2|[[Whomp's Fortress]] || [[Chip off Whomp's Block]] || Getting onto King Whomp with [[VSC|stored VS]], enabling Mario to ground-pound him without help from the elevator.

* Timesaves:
| [[To the Top of the Fortress]] || Getting onto a tower platform from the Bullet Bill launcher, which removes the need for slow [[HOLP]] setting in [[Bob-omb Battlefield|BOB]] as well as both the wing and metal cap.<ref>[https://youtu.be/SrrgpVhI4xA "(TAS) To the Top of the Fortress + 100 Coins 0xA - 1:43"12 (OUTDATED)" by fifdspence]</ref><ref>[https://youtu.be/nHx7r6T9ROA "(TAS) SM64: To the Top of the Fortress + 100 coins 0xA - 1:41:78 by fifdspence and Iwer Sonsch" by Iwer Sonsch]</ref>

This also removes the need to clone the star as Mario can ground-pound King Whomp at the star spawn location.<ref>[https://youtu.be/EizI60fNrj0 "(TAS) Chip Off Whomp's Block 0xA - 44"90 (OUTDATED)" by fifdspence]</ref><ref>[https://youtu.be/ZIje_PpDeIc "(TAS) Chip Off Whomp's Block 0xA - 40"33" by galoomba]</ref>

| rowspan=4|[[Big Boo's Haunt]] || [[Secret of the Haunted Books]] || rowspan=2|Used along with a [[Glitchy Ledge Grab]] to climb the stairs to the second floor<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JlTdEUMW-w Unused ABC Strats by UncommentatedPannen]</ref><ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CqlN_0S1ESY SM64 - GLG to BBH 2nd Floor (0x A) by ds273[</ref>. This removed the need to defeat all five Boos on the ground floor for every mission.
** [[Bowser in the Dark World]], where a misalignment is used to get to a higher platform without [[VSC]]. This also makes BitDW non-terminating, but that's not currently useful.<ref>[https://youtu.be/U4vcFxz0F3g "BitDW 207 DR" by Tyler Kehne]</ref>
|-
** [[Bowser in the Sky]], where a misalignment can be used to enter the pipe instead of setting up a bomb clip.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43DxMVh8jBg "BitS Warp Pipe using 207 DR" by pannenkoek2012]</ref>
| [[Seek the 8 Red Coins]]
|-
| [[Big Boo's Balcony]] || rowspan=2|Also used to climb the stairs, as well as entering the back room of the mansion for [[Scuttlebug Raising]]<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J91K5RgC2dg BBH - Eye to Eye in the Secret Room & Big Boo's Balcony - 0xA 7min Strats]</ref>. Big Boo's Balcony also had a former strategy that used a misalignment to get on the roof, but it has been outdated<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xd9OFhnyiP8 BBH Big Boo's Balcony 0xA Faster Strat by UncommentatedPannen]</ref>
|-
| [[Eye to Eye in the Secret Room]]
|-
| [[Hazy Maze Cave]] || [[Watch for Rolling Rocks]] (formerly) || Ground pounding into a misalignment to get enough height to land on the star platform, used in the 0.5x strategy<ref>[https://youtu.be/kpk2tdsPh0A?t=1415 "SM64 - Watch for Rolling Rocks - 0.5x A Presses (Commentated)" by pannenkoek2012]</ref>. The current 0x strategy uses a [[Glitchy Ledge Grab]] instead to reach the platform.
|-
| [[Shifting Sand Land]] || [[Inside the Ancient Pyramid]] || A misalignment can be used to get on the Grindel, and from there to get onto the elevator to reach the star<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMUl1W8CPPE SSL Pyramid Lower Entrance Strats Alternate Ending by UncommentatedPannen]</ref>. This makes it possible to collect the star 1xA from the bottom entrance, and while it doesn't currently save any A presses, it made progress for a potential A press save on the star.
|-
| rowspan=5| [[Dire, Dire Docks]] || [[Board Bowser's Sub]] || rowspan=5|Misalignments on the cork boxes are used to reach the poles and sub<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JEoBwuXkzQ&list=PLmvvhlevqC2d6vis077yFHuLJHYtTtqe SM64 - Board Bowser's Sub - 0x A Presses by pannenkoek2012]</ref>.

| [[Tiny-Huge Island]] || All missions (formerly) || Misalignments were used to enter the pipe several times to perform the Piranha Plant Glitch to get enough coins to perform a Star Dance Clip. The strategy was obsoleted with a completely different one that involved Goomba bounces<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHK3MKrcJd8 THI Mainland Strat Comparison by UncommentatedPannen]</ref>.
|-
| rowspan=4|[[Tick Tock Clock]] || [[Roll into the Cage]] || A misalignment on the cog makes it possible to store VSC and reach the cage without a preset HOLP<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GForm8GMjpI TTC Roll into the Cage 0xA (without Preset HOLP) by UncommentatedPannen]</ref>.
|-
| [[The Pit and the Pendulums]] (formerly) || rowspan=3|Also used to climb the cogs without a preset HOLP<ref>[TTC Timed Jumps on Moving Bars 1xA (without Preset HOLP) [OUTDATED<nowiki>]</nowiki> by UncommentatedPannen]</ref>. The current 0x strategy for the three stars uses a squish cancel ground pound chain instead.

A misalignment is also used to enter the pipe<ref>[https://youtu.be/b0vDJmsvVBw?t=74 "SM64 - Bowser in the Dark World (without Red Coins) - 0x A Presses" by pannenkoek2012]</ref>.
