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 Joystick does ''not'' count as a button, so it ''can't'' be used. | ||
The | 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. | ||

Since we can't use the tornado since we have to be on the ''first mission'' to get this star which doesn't have the tornado near the pillar, we can have the Fly Guy hit Mario to redirect his angle towards the pillar, then burn Mario to have him get up the pillar. From there, we can have Mario punch off the pillar to twirl onto the pyramid. After punching into the water and redirecting Mario's angle with slopes, we can then use knockback to redirect Mario's angle towards the pillar. After getting redirected a few more times by a Pokey, we can then use the Crazy Box to jump into Klepto, and fall right onto the star afterwards. This star takes just over '''18 minutes''' in total.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLy7W8JncJE</ref> | |||

By using the tornado to get on the pyramid, we can then use the Fly Guy to burn Mario and have him run up the pyramid next to the small cubby with the star. Then, by punching the wall next to the star over and over for '''2 minutes straight''', Mario eventually reaches the star to collect it. This star takes over '''22 minutes''' to collect.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnQPy0SZF24</ref> | By using the tornado to get on the pyramid, we can then use the Fly Guy to burn Mario and have him run up the pyramid next to the small cubby with the star.

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.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9vXR0jy4mI</ref> | ||
