The '''One Button Challenge''', '''OBC''' for short, is a [[challenge]] where the player is only allowed to use one button (e.g. the B Button) on the N64 controller, and you get ''unlimited'' presses of that one button. Because we can only use one button, there are tons of restrictions and disadvantages involved with this challenge. | |||
The One Button Challenge is unique in that it aims to only allow one button, and everything else is off-limits. While in other challenges, like the [[A Button Challenge]], only one button is off-limits, (i.e. the A Button) and everything else is allowed. | |||
The Joystick does ''not'' count as a button, so it ''can't'' be used. | |||

While crouching can let Mario backflip, (which we can't do with just the Z Button) and crawl, (which we can't do without using the joystick) we ''can't'' do any of these when restricted to just one button, and therefore the Z Button ''can't'' be used to control Mario in a useful way. | While crouching can let Mario backflip, (which we can't do with just the Z Button) and crawl, (which we can't do without using the joystick) we ''can't'' do any of these when restricted to just one button, and therefore the Z Button ''can't'' be used to control Mario in a useful way. | ||

We can collect this star by using the Breaking/Disappearing Cork Box Glitch to collect infinite coins, combined with manipulating RNG by punching (to create sand particles) to reach 100 Coins and once again using enemy knockback to redirect Mario's angle. This star takes over '''8 hours''' to collect in total with over '''9,000''' B Presses. It took Pannenkoek2012 over '''3 months''' to create the TAS for it. | We can collect this star by using the Breaking/Disappearing Cork Box Glitch to collect infinite coins, combined with manipulating RNG by punching (to create sand particles) to reach 100 Coins and once again using enemy knockback to redirect Mario's angle.
